No-Bake Brownie Bites
These simple 3-ingredient brownie bites are fudgy, naturally sweetened, and require no baking, making them the perfect grab-and-go snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Brownie Bite Mixture
- 1 cup dates, pitted Use Medjool dates for best results; soak dried dates in warm water if necessary.
- 1 cup walnuts Use raw walnuts for freshness; can substitute with almonds or pecans.
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder Dutch-processed cocoa is preferred for a smoother flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a sheet pan or plate with parchment for the finished bites.
- Have a food processor ready and measure your cocoa into a small bowl.
Mixing
- Add the pitted dates and walnuts to the food processor. Pulse in 10- to 15-second bursts until the mixture breaks down into a sticky, clumping mass.
- Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the date-walnut mixture and blend until incorporated.
Shaping
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the mixture. Roll each portion into tight, even balls and place them on the prepared parchment.
Chilling
- Chill the tray of rolled bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
