Healthy Chocolate Brownies

When you’re craving something sweet but still want to keep things nourishing, these Healthy Chocolate Brownies are a brilliant choice. Free from wheat, eggs, and dairy, they are naturally rich, chocolatey, and satisfying. Whether you enjoy them as a dessert, an afternoon treat, or something to share with friends, you’re going to love how simple and delicious they are.

Easy Steps to Make

  1. Place dates, walnuts, cacao, vanilla, water, and salt into a food processor.

  2. Blend until the mixture is smooth and holds together, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. Line a square baking pan with baking paper or lightly grease it.

  4. Press the brownie mixture firmly into the pan until evenly spread.

  5. In a bowl, mix cacao, syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla to make the frosting.

  6. Stir until a smooth paste forms, then spread evenly over the brownie base.

  7. Refrigerate for at least two hours before slicing into squares.

  8. Store in the fridge for freshness.

Why These Brownies Are Special

Cacao is naturally packed with antioxidants and brings a deep chocolate flavour without the need for refined ingredients. Walnuts add a lovely nutty texture while also contributing healthy fats and plant-based protein, helping these brownies feel more grounding and satisfying. Dates provide natural sweetness and fibre, binding everything together into a chewy base.

A Treat to Enjoy and Share

These brownies are the perfect recipe to make ahead and keep in the fridge for when you want something chocolatey. They are also a crowd-pleaser for family gatherings or a thoughtful plate to share with friends. For more wholefood treat ideas, explore our Recipe Hub.
