Hazelnut Walnut Brownies – No Bake Brownies with dates, roasted hazelnuts and walnuts. Easy Fudgy No Bake Vegan Brownies. No Bake Nutella Brownies. Vegan Gluten-free Recipe.
These brownie bites are like nutella brownies, but no bake, no make the nutella and of course no palm oil or dairy like the usual nutella. Just 6 ingredients, toasted hazelnuts, walnuts, dates, cocoa and some maple. I top these with a creamy non dairy chocolate ganache. So good! Serve these with a simple vegan vanilla ice cream or some whipped coconut cream. and some date caramel. yum.
These bars are easy, fudgy and perfect for the sweet snack attack! Make these and let me know how they turned out! You can use all walnuts and skip the toasting step to omit hazelnuts. Or use hazelnut butter or other toasted nut butter.
If you missed it, my next cookbook is now available to Preorder!! It has recipes like the blog, many cuisines and lots of easy meals. The book will have both US and metric system measures and Nutrition calculation as well, which I hope to eventually also add on the blog.

Or use pre-roasted hazelnuts (remove skin in a towel before using).
- Add just the hazelnuts without skin to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until starting to get buttery. *
- Add walnuts and pulse until a coarse meal. Add dates and cocoa, vanilla and salt and pulse to mix in and until the dates break down into the mixture. Add maple syrup to help the mixture stick. Taste and adjust sweet and chocolate (add more cocoa).
- Transfer to a parchment lined pan and pat down to a rectangle.
- Make the Ganache: Heat the non dairy milk and coconut oil over medium heat in a saucepan. when boiling take off heat. Add the chocolate sugar and vanilla and let sit for a minute. Whisk until smooth. Pour over the brownies. Chill for an hour, slice and serve. Let the brownies come close to room temperature before serving.

Notes
Melt 2 tbsp coconut oil(refined if you want a neutral flavor). Mix in 2 tbsp smooth nut-butter, 1 to 2 tbsp maple, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth. Use. *For a smoother brownie, add 1 tbsp melted coconut oil and process the hazenuts until smooth. They will get smoother in a blender than a processor. Nutrition is approx 1 of 4 Serves.

These are my absolute favourite brownies. 10/10… mouth watering. Our guests love them. I’ve made them 4 or 5 times now and just opened the recipe to make them again. Delish!
yay! glad they are enjoyed by all!
I have made these several times and they are really delicious. I have made them with and without coconut oil, and both work. I add instant espresso to the ganache, which my husband and I love. You are an amazing recipe creator Richa. I cook all the time, and your recipes are many of my favorites. In fact, just made your meatless loaf tonight. Thank you so much. I love your cookbooks and I love the recipes you are generous enough to just share with us.
Oh I’m so glad! Thank you for the kind review, that addition of instant espresso sounds absolutely delish! 🙂
Quick question. I do not have hazelnuts but hazelnut meal on hand. How could I modify the recipe to use that instead? Cant wait to try it!
Just go ahead and follow the recipe, then you won’t have to process the nuts as long.
Planning to make this today! Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Delicious! This was my first time making vegan ganache and it was perfect I’m excited to use it for other recipes.
