How to Make No-Bake Brownie Bites

No Bake Brownie Bites medjool dates soaking

First, remove the pits from the Medjool dates. You do NOT want a pit ending up in your food processor. If your dates are a bit stale or if theyโ€™ve been in the fridge or freezer, soak them in some warm water for at least 10 minutes beforehand.ย

Then, add all the other ingredients to the food processor and pulse into a chocolatey dough mixture. You may have to stop and scrape the sides with a spoon occasionally.ย 

No Bake Brownie Bites coating

Taking one tablespoon at a time, roll the mixture into small brownie balls. Set them on a plate or sheet lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking.ย 

 

Optional Roll the brownie bites in a very thin layer of cacao powder sprinkled on your work station to lightly coat the outside. Cacao powder is bitter so use sparsely as a coating (lighter than pictured). You can also add coconut flakes or hemp seeds.ย 

 

Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to set or serve immediately. These no bake brownie bites can stay good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.ย

Instructions
 

  • Remove the pits from the medjool dates. Soak the dates in warm water for at least 10 minutes if they're stale.
  • In a food processor with an S blade (see notes), process the walnuts into a flour or meal consistency. Add all other ingredients and blend into a chocolate dough mixture.
  • Taking about a tablespoon at a time, roll the dough mixture into small balls. If desired, roll the brownie bites over a very thin layer of extra cacao powder to lightly coat the outside. (Be sparse with the coating as it can be very bitter). Enjoy at room temperature or chilled in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For the food processor, I have the Hamilton Beach food processor and it works great, especially for the price point. Get one here.ย 
Make it fancy:ย You can coat the outside of the brownie bites with powdered sugar, additional cacao powder, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and more!ย
