Easy raw vegan brownies that are also grain-free, keto, and extra fudgy! These Raw Espresso Brownies are the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate craving without refined sugar. 

Ok so I do this thing where every once in a while I REALLY want chocolate, but then I don’t want it for like 10 months. But when that moment hits, man, chocolate better be ready for me somewhere.  My solution? Keep a batch of these brownies in my freezer. Then as soon as the chocolate attack hits I’m ready to go.

I’ve made a lot of Paleo brownies in my life, but what I love about these is that they’re no-bake, which is always a plus in Arizona. That, and I literally never have sugar in my cabinet, so sugar-less desserts are certainly a win. Healthy, easy brownies that freeze well??!! Are we dreaming? Maybe. But I’m gonna go with it.

Tips for making these Raw Vegan Espresso Brownies:

• Use good, moist dates. Make sure you soak them for a bit if they’re dry.
• Use a good food processor to make the ingredients extra smooth. The more smooth you can get the batter, the fudgier these brownies will be!
