Raw Fudge Brownies with Chocolate Frosting

By 40 Comments

Jump to Recipe  ↓

Brownies have to be one of my favorite desserts….ever.

Oatmeal raisin cookies, lemon meringue pie, and carrot cake are all in the top five as well, but there’s something about a brownie that makes me feel comforted.

These brownies are rich, chocolate-y, and healthy. I absolutely love raw desserts and this is one of my favorite recipes to make because it’s easy, quick, and satsifying (no baking time required!). 😀

The icing is what really makes these stand out from just being a chocolate Larabar…

Some of you may wish to double the icing…since that’s your favorite part….and you eat half of it before you get it on the brownie….just sayin’.

What dessert is most comforting for you?

      I don’t soak mine, as they are fairly soft already, but if yours are a bit stale, you may want to soak them in some warm water for about 10 minutes. 🙂

    This is the first time I have made a raw desert, I’ve just switched to a gluten free diet a couple months ago because of an auto immune so this is my first attempt at a desert and these were amazing!! I didn’t have pecans so I subbed walnuts and they were perfect…

    Just noted there is no mention of using GF oats as many oats are cross contaminated and not really gluten free. Bob’s Red Mill offers GF oats.

    These look fantastic! I am wondering why you didn’t use cacao powder instead cocoa? I am getting ready to make them using cacao. I make something very similar with pecans, coconut, dates and topped with dark chocolate. Such a yummy treat with the benefit of being healthy too!

    These were wonderful. Because I didn’t have any pecans on hand, I substituted almonds. They were just as yummy. Great recipe!!!

    Is the coconut oil softened or just hard right out of the jar? I am still learning how to use that ingredient properly.

      It depends on the temperature of your kitchen… To use it in this recipe, you’ll want to make sure that it’s liquid (melted). 🙂
