No-Bake Raspberry Brownies (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Rich and decadent No-Bake Raspberry Brownies are topped with a 3-ingredient raspberry chia jam and coated in dark chocolate. This vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free dessert is perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Ingredients
Raspberry Chia Jam Layer
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon water, if needed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
No Bake Brownie Layer
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional
Instructions
Make the Raspberry Chia Jam
- Add the fresh raspberries and water to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, mashing the raspberries as they soften.
- Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds. Set aside to thicken.
Make the No Bake Brownie Layer
- To a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms (this may take some time, keep mixing, and if needed, add 1 tsp water if the mixture is too crumbly).
- Evenly distribute the dough into the heart-shaped silicone molds and press down to flatten.
Assemble
- Spread a layer of the cooled raspberry jam over the brownie layer. Place the mold in the freezer for at least an hour, or until fully frozen.
- Remove the brownies from the mold and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using, this helps thin the chocolate so it's easier to dip) to a bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth.
- Use a fork to dip each brownie in the melted chocolate (or spoon chocolate over the top).
- If you have leftover melted chocolate, drizzle it over the brownies and top each brownie with a fresh raspberry, if desired.
- Let the chocolate set, then enjoy!
Notes
- Frozen raspberries work too, just don't add the water, as it won't be needed. Feel free to swap the raspberries for strawberries, blackberries, or cherries for a twist!
- You will probably have leftover chia jam. Spread it on toast, use it in a pb&j, etc.!
- Don’t have a heart-shaped mold? No problem! You can grab one on Amazon, or use any other mold you have, such as a cupcake mold or even a square baking dish and cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
