if you’re looking for a brownie that’s rich, fudgy, and wholesome, these vegan and gluten-free tahini date brownies are about to become your new obsession!
sweetened entirely with dates, they’re naturally indulgent without any added refined sugar. the combination of tahini and cocoa powder creates an irresistible flavor that feels both decadent and nourishing.
these brownies are the perfect balance of sweet and nutty, thanks to the natural caramel flavor of dates and the creamy richness of tahini.
the cocoa powder adds a deep chocolatey flavor, while the almond flour gives the brownies just enough structure to hold their shape without losing that gooey, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
if you choose to add vegan chocolate chips, you’ll get little pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
made with simple, whole-food ingredients, these brownies prove that dessert can be both delicious and nutritious.
dates are packed with fiber and natural sweetness, tahini is full of healthy fats and calcium, and almond flour provides protein and vitamin e.
they’re also completely free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, making them a great choice for anyone with dietary restrictions.
making these brownies is as easy as blending, mixing, and baking.
you start by blending softened dates into a smooth paste, then add tahini, vanilla, and dairy-free milk to create the wet base.
next, you mix in the dry ingredients — cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
the result is a thick, chocolatey batter that’s ready to be baked to gooey perfection!
these brownies are super versatile, so feel free to get creative:
store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or keep them in the fridge for a week.
they also freeze beautifully — just wrap them individually and pop them in the freezer for a quick treat anytime.
they’re rich, satisfying, and packed with wholesome ingredients that you can feel good about.
whether you’re sharing them with friends or savoring one all to yourself, these brownies are a treat you’ll come back to again and again.

when you say ‘blend’ the dates do you mean using a vitamix to ‘blend’
hi! food processor 🙂
If we don’t have a muffin tin do you think these could be baked in a brownie/rectangle tin? And if so does that change cooking time?
yes, you can do that! will have to bake a little longer though, so keep an eye on it!
These were delicious! I added about 1/4 of vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips and they tasted very similar to a traditional brownie. They were very soft so I might add 2-3 minutes to baking time (might just be my oven.
amazing! yes, add a few more minutes and that should do that trick :)!
Hi! Do we have to drain rhe dates before adding the rest of the wet ingredients?
yes, i would drain them!
Can I use water instead of ‘milk’?
should work but may slightly change flavor!
These were excellent! I’ve made them many times now and every one loves them. I also add 1/4 chocolate chips, but that’s all. Otherwise I follow the recipe exactly. They are great.
love that!! thank you!
Can I make the batter the day before and if so should I refrigerate it?
hi! it will probably thicken too much overnight in the fridge
