Ingredients
1 1/2 cups pitted dates (about 10–12 dates)
1/2 cup walnuts or almonds (or a mix of both)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky, dough-like texture. If the dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
- Add the walnuts (or almonds), cocoa powder, chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until everything is finely chopped and well-combined. The mixture should stick together when pressed.
- Add the almond or peanut butter to the mixture and pulse until evenly incorporated. The mixture should be sticky and hold its shape when pressed.
- Use your hands or a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Optionally, roll the brownie bites in shredded coconut for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
- Place the brownie bites on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up. Once chilled, they’re ready to serve!
Notes
Customize your brownie bites with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty bite.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and nut butter.
If you’re nut-free, substitute the nuts with more oats or seeds like sunflower or chia seeds.
These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
If the mixture feels too dry, add more nut butter or dates to reach the desired consistency.
