No-Bake Brownie Bites
No-bake brownie bites made with dates, cocoa powder, plant-based milk, oatmeal, and maple syrup offer a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional brownies. These delicious treats are not only easy to prepare but also pack a nutritional punch.
Equipment
- 1 high powered blender
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups pitted dates
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate plant-based protein powder, optional
- 1/8 tsp iodized salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp nondairy chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the dates, raisins, oats, and pumpkin seeds. Process until the mixture is crumbly.
- Add the cocoa, protein powder (if using), salt, and vanilla. Process again, and let the processor run until the mixture begins to get sticky and form clumps.
- Add the chocolate chips (if using) and pulse until a ball forms on the blade.
- Remove the bowl, and roll small scoops (about one tablespoon each) of the mixture into balls. Continue until all of the mixture is used.
- Transfer to an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep for a couple of weeks, or to the freezer, where they will keep for a couple of months.
