Ingredients
For a full list if ingredients and quantities to make these 3 Ingredient No Bake Vegan Brownies be sure to check the recipe card below.
- Medjool Dates: Make sure they are soft, if they are hard be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes first and then drain the water.
- Nuts: I used pecans but feel free to use any nuts you like best.
- Cocoa Powder: I used unsweetened cocoa powder (be sure it's plain and unsweetened) or you can sub raw cacao or carob powder but that will change the flavor, use what you are used to.
Variations
- Switch up the nuts: In these 3 ingredient no bake brownies I used pecans but you can use any nuts you like in this recipe, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds or you can change up only ½ the nuts to another kind.
- Balls: With these healthy no bake brownies you don't have to make them into brownie squares, you can easily line a baking pan with parchment paper and take a tablespoon or two of brownie mix, roll it into a no bake brownie ball and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes, it won't look like a vegan brownie but it will still taste like one.
- Size: You can definitely adjust the size, if you’d like smaller squares or rectangles just cut to your preferred size.
How to make 3 Ingredient No Bake Vegan Brownies
Step 1: Place everything into a food processor or high speed blender and pulse first, then blend for 2-4 minutes until it forms a big clump of sticky dough. (It will get loose and dry looking first, keep going and it will form a clump).
Clump formed!
Step 2: In a 4X6 pan/container (I used a glass pyrex) add the mixture and push down firmly, you can line it with parchment or wax paper first so it is easy removal and also lay parchment on top to press down and flatten the top (see video).
Step 3: Place in freezer for 30 minutes, remove and cut into pieces. Makes about 6-8 brownies depending on size preference! Store in fridge up to 1 week!

Recipe FAQs
It depends on the recipe, that being said cocoa has a very deep flavor of chocolate and the brownie will still retain it’s moisture and softness.
To help keep your brownies fudgy use parchment paper to put the brownies on and be sure to use an airtight freezer container.
When storing brownies be sure to use an airtight container or wrapping to keep them chewy.
