Rich, fudgy bites made with walnuts, dates, and cocoa. Ready in 15 minutes, no oven required.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 1 cup walnuts or almonds
02 - 1 cup pitted dates
03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
→ Toppings
08 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
09 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts
# How To Make It:
01 - Place walnuts, rolled oats, and cocoa powder in a food processor. Pulse until mixture reaches a fine, uniform texture.
02 - Add pitted dates, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the processor. Blend continuously until the mixture sticks together when pressed between fingers.
03 - Check dough texture—if it's too dry and crumbly, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water and blend again until properly combined.
04 - Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture at a time and roll between your palms to form smooth, uniform balls.
05 - Roll each ball in mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts to coat the exterior completely.
06 - Place brownie bites in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up and achieve optimal fudgy texture.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Satisfies intense chocolate cravings in under fifteen minutes flat
- Naturally sweetened with dates so you wont crash an hour later
- Perfect for sharing at parties or keeping stashed in your freezer
02 -
- Soft, fresh dates blend much easier than dried ones, so soak stubborn dates in warm water first if needed
- Over blending makes them greasy as the nuts release too much oil, so pulse just until combined
03 -
- Line your work surface with parchment paper for less sticky hands while rolling
- Run your food processor for thirty seconds after adding dates to ensure no chunks remain
