Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups medjool dates, packed
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Sweetener
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (only as needed)
Topping
- 1/3 cup candy coated chocolate chips
Instructions
- Process the Base Ingredients: Add the medjool dates, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor. Blend until a sticky dough forms.
- Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: If the dough is crumbly rather than sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup and blend again. This helps the mixture stick together better and adds sweetness, so add according to your taste preference.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Transfer the brownie dough to a bowl. Add the candy-coated chocolate chips and mix thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Form the Bites: Using clean hands, scoop and roll the dough into bite-sized balls. These can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later snacking.
Notes
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing to help achieve a sticky texture.
- For a nut-free version, substitute nuts with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
- Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Feel free to customize by adding other mix-ins such as dried fruit or nuts of your choice.
