3 Ingredient No Bake Brownies
These no bake brownies are very fudgy and chewy. They are just 3 ingredients and don't require flour, eggs, butter or oil. They are also made without dates.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (192 g) natural almond butter
- 3 tbsp (21 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ½ tbsp (66.5 ml) maple syrup
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add almond butter and cocoa powder. Mix with a spatula until cocoa powder is completely incorporated into the almond butter and the batter is uniform in color.
- Add in the maple syrup. As you stir in the syrup you should notice the mixture thicken considerably. Continue to stir until all the syrup is incorporated and your batter is thick enough to form a dough ball.
- Press brownie dough into prepared pan, spreading it evenly across. Place into fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour to let the brownies firm up more. If you wish to add frosting, add it after the brownies are set. Store uneaten brownies in the fridge.
Notes
- Please see post regarding potential ingredient substitutions. Make sure to use natural almond butter because this will not work with regular almond butter. Also make sure you use maple syrup or a syrup with a similar watery consistency. Honey and other thick syrups will not thicken the brownie batter enough.
- These brownies are lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter brownies, you can add up to 1 more tbsp of syrup. You can't add too much syrup because the batter will not be able to absorb it all. Other ways to add more sweetness to the brownies are to add chocolate chips or add a chocolate frosting.
- Optional chocolate frosting: If you want to use the frosting I made in the photos, you will need 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (dutch process does not work) or cacao powder, and 2 tbsp maple syrup.
- First mix the coconut oil and cocoa powder until smooth. Then stir in the syrup until incorporated and the frosting thickens.
- Nutrition estimate does not include frosting.
