Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these no bake vegan brownies Top 8 Allergen Free?
Yes! This recipe does have cashews in the recipe, but you can use any nut or nut butter, including sun butter for this recipe. Just be mindful that the recipe will take on the taste of whatever you use.
Some dairy free chocolate does have soy in it, so make sure you also keep that in mind. We do love Enjoy Life chocolate chips since they are both soy free and semi-sweet.
Can I prep these no bake vegan brownies ahead?
Yes! These will last at least 5-7 days if stored properly in an air tight container in the fridge.
Should these be served cold or warm?
The choice is yours! We have eaten both ways. If you do decide to warm them up, we recommend doing it for 15-20 at a time. You don’t want it to melt but just be warm.
Can I substitute the dates?
Dates are a neutral flavor that adds sweetness. However, if you are ok with the change in taste, you could substitute it for dried figs, raisins, cranberries, or cherries.
Are no bake vegan brownies healthy?
We tried to make this recipe as healthy and vegan friendly as possible. There is no refined flour or sugar in these. We are using natural sweetener from the dates and healthy fats from the cashews. We believe you can’t get much healthier brownies than these.
One note would be the vegan chocolate chips that are either folded in or melted on top. You could omit these to make healthier if desired.
Can vegan no bake brownies be frozen?
Yes. You can freeze these in an air tight freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to eat them.
