No Bake Brownie Bites- 3 Ingredients!

No Bake Brownie Bites are a keto and low carb no bake recipe using 3 ingredients! Fudgy, gooey, and ready in 5 minutes, they are secretly vegan, paleo and gluten free.

We love our fat bombs and energy bites to snack on. Our favorites include peanut butter balls, fat bombs, and these delicious no bake brownie bites. 

Whether you call them chocolate brownie bliss balls, no bake brownie balls, or brownie bites- They are all the same! Soft, fudgy, and chocolatey bites that are perfect between meals or when the sweet tooth strikes!

When I first made this easy recipe, I was going to call them brownie batter bites, because let’s face it- The dough was like eating straight-up brownie batter.

However, after refrigerating them, they were more like gooey, soft raw brownie bliss balls.

How to make no bake brownie bites

Start by mixing together all your ingredients, until fully combined. If you find that the batter is too thick, add a little extra syrup. If it is too thin, add more coconut flour. Either using a cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls of dough and place them on a plated lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate or freeze the no bake brownie bites until firm. 

Brownie Bliss Balls Ingredients (and substitution tips!) 

• Homemade Nutella– I used homemade Nutella, which is a keto, sugar free and low carb version of traditional Nutella. It’s also dairy free, so perfect for vegans. 
• Coconut Flour– Helps form the bliss balls together.
• Sugar Free Maple Syrup– Adds extra sweetness, and holds the brownie balls together

Healthy Nutella Substitutions

Refined sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread- When in a pinch, I don’t mind using a store-bought vegan chocolate hazelnut spread. If you use this, it isn’t low carb or ketogenic diet friendly. This one, however, is paleo and low carb friendly. 

Generic store-bought chocolate hazelnut spread- Any generic chocolate hazelnut spread will work, however, you’ll likely need more coconut flour added for it to firm up. Be wary of the ingredient list of the one you end up using. 

Coconut flour substitutions

Coconut flour is a tricky ingredient and has a taste and texture unlike another other grain-free or traditional flour. Unlike other flours, it needs extra liquid and/or a smaller amount of flour to be able to form into no bake bites or no bake balls.

You CAN make this recipe without coconut flour, but take notes of the adjustments necessary to make them taste good and hold shape-

• Oat Flour– Gluten free rolled oats ground to a fine powder. You will need to use 2-2 1/2 times the amount of coconut flour. You would benefit from adding an extra tablespoon of your favorite sticky sweetener too, to add to the sweetness.
• Almond Flour– Almond flour or almond meal can be used, the latter having a grittier and nuttier flavor. Similar to oat flour, you’ll need twice the amount, and also some extra liquid sweetener of choice. 

Sugar free syrup substitutions

• Pure maple syrup– Mild tasting and mixes well. Pure maple syrup isn’t overly sweet either, so it is my favorite option.
• Agave nectar– Similar to maple syrup, agave nectar can come in a light or dark color. It is a little more expensive though.
• Brown Rice Syrup- In terms of texture, this would be your best option- It is super sticky and holds up well. The taste is also very neutral, which is great!

For non-strict vegans, honey can also be used. However, the taste is very overpowering and you’ll generally need to add an extra tablespoon or two, as it isn’t as sticky as the other options. 

Tips to make brownie bites nut-free

I’ve had a fair few readers wanting nut-free options, so to make these nut-free brownie batter energy bites, follow these smart swaps-

• Use chocolate nut-free spread (like soy nut butter)
• Use ground quinoa flakes, but double the amount (this is best to keep these allergen-friendly)

Storing and Freezing No Bake Brownie Bites

• To store: no bake brownie balls should always be stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container. They will remain fresh for up to 2 weeks.
• To freeze: Place leftover brownie energy balls in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer. They will keep well frozen for up to 6 months.
