These nutella brownies are the thing of dreams.

They were all devoured on the day I made them, with none living to tell the tale.

They’re also no-bake, which means that you won’t have to waste any time waiting impatiently by the oven as they bake, only to declare them done, take them out a bit too soon, and burn your tongue since you couldn’t even wait for them to cool down. Come on, I know I’m not the only one.

They’re wonderfully moorish and soft, with a rich taste from the chocolate and hazelnuts, and an amazing sweetness and chewiness from the dates.

The combination of chocolate and hazelnut gives it such an amazing nutella-like flavour, which I just can’t get enough of. I kept trying little bites from the “batter” as I went along and was so so excited to eat it all once done, and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

We gave them to Matt’s 11- and 13-year-old cousins and when I told them that they were healthy they just couldn’t believe it! If it’s good enough for kids to love (one of them a self confessed sugar lover), then it’s definitely good enough for us “grown ups” out there.

The nutella brownies themselves are a combination of dates, nuts, and cacao, which create such an amazingly rich and chocolate-y taste. I roasted my almonds and hazelnuts to bring out their flavour, but you don’t have to if you want to keep it 100% raw.

The frosting is made with avocado (don’t freak, you can’t taste it at all), coconut oil, nut butter, cacao, and vanilla. It’s sweet, creamy, and smooth and is such a great contrast to the crunchy hazelnuts and the chewy brownie.
