No-Bake Chocolate Brownies (date sweetened) - Vegan & GF

♡ NO-BAKE CHOCOLATEY BROWNIES ♡

(Gluten Free, Vegan, Whole Food Plant Based)

¼ cup macadamia nuts

2 cups pitted dates (I always use a scale to measure dates: 2 cups pitted dates = 350g)

¼ tsp sea salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup cacao powder

Optional toppings: walnuts and shredded coconut

Add everything (except toppings) to a high speed blender. Process for about 1 minutes until all of the ingredients come together and form a big ball of dough. Add brownie mixture to a parchment lined square baking dish and press down until mixture is about a 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour. When you are ready to eat slice it into 9 squares. Store remaining brownies in an air tight container in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
