No-Bake Brownies are a rich, fudgy treat made with wholesome ingredients like dates, nuts, and cocoa powder. They require no oven, come together quickly, and deliver intense chocolate flavor with a texture between a brownie and a truffle.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup walnuts or almonds
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons water (as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate (optional topping)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional topping)
  • Sea salt flakes (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Add nuts to a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  2. Add pitted dates, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Process until a sticky dough forms, adding water if needed.
  3. Pulse in or fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  4. Press mixture firmly into a parchment-lined square pan and smooth the top.
  5. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts and sea salt, if desired.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  7. Slice into 12 small squares and serve.
