Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes and drained
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional toppings
  • shredded coconut
  • chopped nuts
  • mini chocolate chips
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Start by soaking the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. This will soften them, making them easier to blend into a paste. Once softened, drain the dates thoroughly, discarding the soaking water.

  2. Add the raw almonds to a food processor. Pulse them a few times until they are finely ground, but be careful not to over-process them into almond flour. You want a slightly granular texture for a pleasant bite.

  3. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt to the food processor with the ground almonds. Pulse a couple more times to evenly distribute these dry ingredients.

  5. Process the mixture until it starts to clump together and forms a thick, sticky dough. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure everything is incorporated. The consistency should be firm enough to hold its shape.
  6. Once the dough is ready, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form small balls, similar in size to a brownie bite.
  7. If you're using toppings, gently roll each brownie bite in your desired coating. This could be shredded coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or even just an extra dusting of cocoa powder for a classic look.

  8. Place the finished No Bake Brownie Bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
