    No Bake Double Chocolate Brownie Bars

    Aug 14, 2015 • Chocolate, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    No Bake Double Chocolate Brownie Bars - vegan, gluten free, oil free, low fat, simple and GUILT FREE!  Melt in your mouth chocolate fudge layered over an decadent brownie crust. From The Glowing Fridge.

    From the title, these little squares of heaven sound like a real treat right?!

    I mean the fattening kind of vegan treat. Not the kind of vegan treat that is made out of 1 ingredient and called a healthy dessert. I mean the kind that you may regret eating later (even though you should indulge every now and again!)

    BUT – let me tell you, these decadent squares taste like frozen freezer fudge layered brownies and come with no guilt strings attached.

    AMAZING.

    While coconut oil and raw cashews/nuts are used in many vegan dessert recipes – I opted for other ingredients to cut out the fat but not the dessert-like taste. I’ve been meaning to share this recipe since June and have been making it every few weeks throughout the summer as I’m completely addicted, so finally, as a end of summer (wow, why did I say that) hoorah, these whimsical treats are making a much-needed appearance.

    This recipe has proved to be one of those that never fails – one you can keep coming back to. Promise.

    Made out of: 

    • gluten-free oats
    • gooey & sweet medjool dates
    • raw cacao powder
    • raw carob powder (optional)
    • maca powder
    • cinnamon
    • sea salt
    • ripe bananas
    • pure maple syrup
    • small amount of sunflower butter
    • small amount of vegan chocolate chips 

    Basically, I’m giving you permission to eat half of the entire creation in one sitting, if you’re feeling up to it 🙂 because… GUILT FREE.

    Maybe you can relate – desserts are a necessity in this life and while I love all the tasty raw vegan gourmet treats,. more often that not, they are drowning in fat whether it be oil, vegan butter, some form of coconut, or nuts/seeds. Not that a dose of whole food, healthy fat is a bad thing, but they’re heavy and uber rich on top of being sweet.

    You’d be surprised how quickly the fat grams can add up. Seriously.

    So let’s do ourselves a favor and ENJOY these oil-free No Bake Double Chocolate Brownie Bars. Because we can and we should.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Brownie Crust Layer

    • 1 cup gluten free rolled oats (or oat flour)
    • 1 cup gooey medjool dates (soak in hot water for 10 minutes if they’re not soft)
    • 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
    • 2 tablespoons carob powder (optional)
    • 1/2 teaspoon raw maca powder (optional)
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup water

    Chocolate Fudge Layer

    • 2 very ripe and spotty bananas
    • 1/4 cup carob powder
    • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or any other sticky sweetener)
    • 1 tablespoon sunflower butter (or any nut butter)
    • 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips, for topping

    Instructions

    1. Line a 9×5″ loaf pan with parchment paper.
    2. In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until fine like a flour, unless using oat flour. Add in the rest of the ingredients for the Brownie Crust Layer and process until well combined and mixture clumps together in one ball. Transfer the crust mixture to a lined loaf pan and press down until even. Set aside.
    3. Now add all ingredients for the Chocolate Fudge Layer into the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour mixture over the crust, scraping down the sides with a spatula.
    4. Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top.
    5. Freeze for about 4 hours until firm. Cut into pieces and freeze again for 20-30 minutes to firm up more and prevent melting – if you can wait that long!
    6. Store leftovers in the freezer, covered.
    7. Enjoy!!!

      if i can’t use carob powder (it’s ridiculously expensive when I can find it at the store), can I just use unsweetened cocoa powder?

    WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄 • I get to so WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄

• I get to solve hair problems for people help them have more confidence
• I get to make an income from wifi
• I’m apart of an inclusive community of driven women that have turned into real friends whom I hope to meet one day!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.
