This is a decadent dessert idea that has only seven ingredients.
I like that the ingredients are also somewhat healthy as well.
Did you try my recipe for Black Bean Brownies?
That brownie recipe is made with black beans, a banana, and maple syrup.
This recipe is different as it has three layers and no bananas or beans in it.
Confused about which vegan milk is the best to use in your recipe?
Here is what you need to know about choosing the right vegan milk..
I have been asked in the past, can vegans eat brownies.
The quick answer is yes.
That is, as long as the ingredients that are added to the recipe are also vegan.
I suggest that you read the labels on the ingredients that you use to make sure that they too are vegan.
This recipe calls for peanut butter which may not always be vegan.
You can find vegan peanut butter here.
You may be asking, can I make a brownie mix without eggs.
The quick answer is yes, you can make brownies without eggs.
Eggless brownies are pretty great tasting as well!
Eggs are added to a recipe such as this one for moisture, ingredient bonding, and for structure.
I should start by mentioning that this is a flourless recipe for brownies.
As a result, the moisture, ingredient bonding, and structure of the brownies will not be affected by the absence of eggs (this is still a great brownie by the way!).

Tips for making vegan layer brownies.
I always tell folks, that it is helpful to line the baking pan used with parchment paper that overhangs the baking pan. Not only does this make for an easier clean up (YAY), it allows for you to easily remove the cooled brownies for slicing.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- Coffee seems to bring out the chocolate flavor in a brownie recipe. Feel free to add a teaspoon of instant coffee if you would like to enhance the chocolate flavor in these brownies.
- When choosing chocolate chips, make sure that you are using vegan chocolate chips instead of chips that have dairy added to them (milk chocolate..). Sugar Free diet followers can use vegan sugar free chocolate chips in this recipe.
- Feel free to personalize your top layer. I like adding chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or even dried fruit such as cranberries.
This recipe is great for anyone asking what do you eat on a vegan diet.
For anyone who has followed the diet, or vegan lifestyle, this is really simple.
Vegan followers simply consume no animal biproducts.

How to store these vegan brownies.
I recommend storing these brownies in the refrigerator. Be sure to have them in an air tight container for best results.

Vegan 3 Layer Brownies
About these vegan Triple-layer Brownies
As mentioned, there are three separate layers to these brownies.
While this is a no-bake recipe, you will need to refrigerate between adding the layers.
The bottom layer is the brownie layer that includes the dates.
Peanut butter and maple syrup make up the center layer.
Lastly, the top layer is made with melted chocolate.
Ingredients needed to make layered vegan brownies.
The ingredients are listed by layers for ease of following.
- Dates- 8 ounces (about 12). The dates should be seedless and soft.
- Peanut Butter- ⅔ cup. Use smooth peanut butter that is also vegan.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder- 6 tablespoons.
- Peanut Butter- ½ cup.
- Maple Syrup- 1 tablespoon.
- Dark Chocolate- ½ cup melted.
- Vegetable Oil- 1 teaspoon (this is optional and you can use coconut oil instead).
How to make Vegan 3 Layer Brownies.
- Line a square baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs the edges of the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl stir together the dates and (first instance of) peanut butter until just slightly mixed. Transfer this to a strong blender or food processor along with the unsweetened cocoa powder and blend until smooth. Press this layer into the prepped baking dish and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- For the center layer, blend together the remaining peanut butter and the maple syrup until blended. Spread this over the bottom layer and return this to the refrigerator to set.
- Lastly, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. To smooth this out you can stir in the oil. Evenly smooth this layer over the brownies and then return the baking dish to the refrigerator to set (about 30 minutes).
- To serve, lift the set brownies from the baking dish and transfer to a flat surface to cut.
