Fudgy, chocolatey brownies are delicious, but what if you were able to make them yourself without even baking them? And what if they could be healthy as well? It’s not a dream! This recipe uses only raw ingredients. All you have to do is blend them together and then put them in a pan to refrigerate them and let them set. They include coffee beans to make the chocolate flavor richer.

Chocolate and Coffee Flavors

If you’ve baked with coffee and chocolate before, you know that coffee enhances the flavor of chocolate. Adding coffee to a brownie recipe ensures that they will taste deeply of chocolate. 

Since these brownies are no-bake, it’s even more important to use great-tasting coffee beans. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is high-quality and made from a blend of beans from Mexico, Nicaragua, and Honduras. When you use Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee, you can be sure that you’re doing what you can to avoid acid reflux if you’re a person who is sensitive to acidic foods and beverages such as coffee. Whole Bean French Roast is a great choice and guaranteed fresh and organic.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of rolled or quick oats

5. Leave the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour to 90 minutes. Check it and when it’s set, the brownies are ready.
