Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for No Bake Brownies. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
The base of this recipe is made with almond flour which is a grain free flour option. You can substitute for oat flour if you prefer, however I would start with half the amount and gradually add more in until you reach the right consistency.
Unsweetened Cacao powder is added in to create a deep and rich chocolate flavor. You can also use cocoa powder.
I used dark chocolate tahini from Soom foods, but you can also use almond butter, cashew butter or even peanut butter.
Pure maple syrup will sweeten these brownies up without adding in any refined sugars. You can also use honey, agave or date syrup.
Use vegan dark chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan, otherwise feel free to use any type of chocolate that you’d like!
How To Make
ONE: Start by mixing together the tahini and maple syrup. Then, add in the almond flour and cacao powder and mix until well combined.
TWO: Then, add dough into silicon molds to create a brownie shape. Otherwise you can just roll them into balls.
THREE: Dip and coat each brownie bite in melted chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt if desired and place in the freezer until firm.

I tried this with peanut butter. You need about twice what the recipe calls for, otherwise you get lumps of peanut buttery stuff that won’t mix with the almond flour and cocoa. I added more and the flavor just wasn’t that good.
hey there! i’m sorry they didn’t turn out great for you, the texture of the nut or seed butter is really important. you want it to be runny and all natural so that the end result is creamy and not thick.
