How to make no bake brownie bites

The Ingredients.

• Almond butter– Smooth and drippy almond butter with no added sugar. 
• Maple syrup– Agave nectar or honey also work. 
• Cocoa powder– 100% unsweetened and Dutch processed. Be sure to sift your cocoa well to ensure there are no clumps. 
• Chocolate chips– Optional, but highly recommended! 

The Instructions. 

Make the batter: Start by mixing all your ingredients in a mixing bowl until a thick batter remains. If using chocolate chips, fold them through. 

Roll them into balls: Lightly wet your hands and roll the batter into small balls. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. 

Chill until firm: Refrigerate the brownie balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. 

Tips for success

• If your brownie batter is too sticky, add a little extra cocoa powder. If it is too thick, you can thin it out with some water.
• Lightly wet or oil your hands to the mixture doesn’t stick to it. 
• If you’d like the brownie bites to firm up quicker, let them chill in the freezer. 

Flavor variations

• Chocolate covered– Melt some chocolate and coat the brownie balls in them. 
• Raspberry– Fold through 1/2 cup of fresh or freeze-dried raspberries to the batter. 
• Cookies and cream– Crush up 1-2 oreo cookies and fold through the batter. 
• Triple chocolate– Add white, dark, and milk chocolate chips. 
• Peanut butter– Replace the almond butter with peanut butter. 

Storing and freezing instructions

• To store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to four weeks. 
• To freeze: Place the bites in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to six months.
