No-Bake Chocolate Chip Brownie Bars
These no-bake Chocolate Chip Brownie Bars are a delicious homemade Larabar copycat—perfect for meal prep, travel, and as a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons cacao powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- If your dates are a bit firm, pour hot water over them and let them sit for one minute to soften. Drain and set aside.
- Add raw almonds and walnuts to a food processor. Pulse until broken into small pieces.
- Add softened dates, chocolate chips, cacao powder, and sea salt to the food processor.
- Blend until it forms a thick, sticky dough. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Line a 8.5 x 6.5" baking dish or glass container with parchment paper (clipping the edges with clothespins can help keep the parchment paper steady). Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish using a spatula, pushing down on it so it's compact.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 10–15 minutes to firm up. Slice into 6 bars. Sprinkle more chocolate chips and/or flaky sea salt on top if you’d like!
