Why do I call these Shamelessly Fruity Brownies? Because they are chock full of fruit not trying to pretend it’s anything else. These brownies are packed with four different fruits for some high-carb fruity goodness. In fact the only ingredient that is not fruit is the cacao powder…which actually does come from the cacao pod which is a fruit…so it’s all fruit!
Not only are these super healthy, but they are also super easy. It’s just three steps really: blend all the brownie ingredients, blend all the frosting ingredients, then put the two together and let the refrigerator do the rest.

Hi, these look wonderful! But I was just wondering, should they be made on the same day as they are to be eaten?
Thanks a lot!
Hi Kristin! They will be the softest and have the most moisture on the day you make them, but actually I prefer them the second day after chilling them in the fridge overnight. They are slightly firmer that way. I would say max they can last before being too dry is about 4-5 days in the fridge.
