Made with wholesome, real-food ingredients, these brownies are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and natural sweetness—giving you all the chocolatey goodness without refined sugar or processed ingredients. Cacao powder provides a deep, dark chocolate flavor along with a boost of magnesium and antioxidants. Hemp seeds add protein and omega-3s, while goji berries bring a hint of natural sweetness and extra vitamin C. And of course, roasted almonds give these brownies the perfect crunch and a dose of healthy fats to keep you satisfied.
The best part? No baking required! Just mix, press, and chill for a decadent yet nourishing Valentine’s Day dessert that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.
No-Bake Almond Brownies for Valentine's Day
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Pitted Dates
- 3/4 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1/4 Cup Hemp Seeds
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil Divided
- 2/3 Cup Cacao Powder Divided
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup Divided
- 3 tbsps Almonds (Organic) Roasted, Crushed
- 2 tbsps Cacao Nibs
- 2 tbsps Goji Berries
Instructions
- Add the dates, coconut, hemp seeds, and chia seeds to the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/3 of the coconut oil, 3/4 of the cacao powder, and 1/2 of the maple syrup. Process until a sticky dough is formed, about five minutes.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Scoop the brownie dough into the pan and flatten with your hands or a spatula, until evenly spread. Transfer to the freezer to set for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup. Heat on the stove over low until the coconut oil has melted. Whisk to combine and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour the melted chocolate over top of the cold brownies. Sprinkle on the crushed hazelnuts, cacao nibs, and goji berries. Transfer to the fridge to set for 10 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
