Why You’ll Love This Recipe
What I love most about these No-Bake Brownie Bites is how easy they are to make! There’s no oven involved, so they come together in just a few minutes. The dates provide natural sweetness, while the nuts add crunch and protein. The cocoa powder gives that rich, chocolatey flavor, and the peanut butter or almond butter gives it a creamy texture. Plus, they’re perfect for snacking or a quick dessert when I need a healthy indulgence!

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almonds or walnuts

Directions
- I start by adding the pitted dates, nuts, cocoa powder, peanut butter (or almond butter), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a food processor.
- I blend the ingredients until everything is well combined and smooth. The mixture should be sticky but hold together when pressed.
- Once it’s ready, I scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- I place the balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Then, I refrigerate the brownie bites for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- After that, I’m ready to enjoy these delicious bites!
