    Ingredients

    • Medjool dates: Make sure to get pitted medjool dates for this recipe. They are different from regular dried dates in that medjool dates have a rich, caramel-like flavor with a slight hint of butterscotch while regular dates are generally milder and less sweet.
    • Walnuts: Make sure to get raw walnuts, not roasted, for this recipe.
    • Almonds: Just like the walnuts, we will use raw almonds for this recipe.
    • Cocoa Powder: Sift your cocoa powder so there are no lumps. This will add the chocolate flavor!
    • Vanilla Extract: Adds a hint of vanilla flavor to the brownie
    • Sea salt: Just a pinch balances the flavor of the sweetness

    Equipment

    • Food processor

    Instructions

    In a food processor combine walnuts and almonds. Blend until they are ground into fine pieces but don't careful to not blend too much or you will have a nut butter.

    Add in dates, cocoa powder, and salt and blend until combined.

    Use an ice cream scooper or small cookie scoop to form into 1-inch balls. Roll in the palms of your hand to create small balls. These little bites are ready to eat right away!

    Variations

    You can create different flavors for these no-bake brownie bites

    • Add a small amount of nut butter of choice such as creamy peanut butter or almond butter.
    • Drizzle the top of the balls with melted chocolate (like dark chocolate)
    • Fold in some mini chocolate chips for a crunch
    • Add in half a scoop of protein powder for more protein.

    FYI: You may need to adjust the nut:date ratio if adding in other flavors to obtain the proper texture.

    Storage

    Store your leftover no-bake brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    FAQ

    Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

    I do not recommend a blender to make these bites. A blender is too tall and will not evenly blend all the ingredients.

    Why are my bites dry and not sticking together?

    Your medjool dates may be a little old and dry. Ideal medjool dates should be soft and sticky, not shriveled, wrinkled, or dry.
    To your mixture, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until your balls start to stick together.
    Next time, rehydrate your dried dates by soaking them in water for 5 minutes then patting dry.

    Can I freeze these bites?

    Yes, these are great for freezing. Place in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Let thaw on the counter for an hour before eating.

    Tips

    • Process your nuts until finely ground (unless you want to have a crunch in your brownie bite)
    • If your dates are older and dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes then pat dry.
