You will love these No Bake Brownie Bites!
Who doesn’t love brownies?! I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love a good brownie, and these are a fun twist on a favorite dessert. I love brownies in all forms, and this no bake version is no exception! If there is a way for me not to turn on my oven in the summer, then I’m going to take advantage of it.
These rich and fudgy brownies are only made with THREE ingredients, and take about 5 minutes to throw together. They are refined sugar-free, and packed with fiber and healthy fats.
Just THREE Ingredients!
- DATES – I love using dates in these type of no bake desserts because they bring a delicious sweetness without having to add sugar. And they keep the brownies soft and chewy.
- CACAO POWDER – You can’t have brownies without chocolate! Use a high quality cacao powder to avoid bitterness.
- WALNUTS – You can use any type of nut you want, but I think walnuts are ideal for this because they have a slightly more neutral flavor. But almonds work really well too!
How To Make No Bake Brownies
It is so quick and simple to make these brownies!
STEP 1 – Remove the pit from the dates. If they are already very soft, then you won’t have to soak them. If they are not soft and squishy, then soak them in a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain them.
STEP 2 – Add all three ingredients to a food processor and process on high for about 20-30 seconds. The mixture will start to come together and look crumbly, but it should stick together when you press it between your fingers.
STEP 3 – Remove the mixture from the food processor and use your fingers to press it into a parchment lined 8×8 baking dish. Press it into an even layer, making sure it is flat all the way into the corners. Place the brownies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help them firm up a bit.
STEP 4 – Remove from the fridge, then remove the brownie by pulling up on the parchment, pulling it all out in one piece. Cut into small, bite size squares and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Lightly wet your hands with water before pressing the batter into the pan, this will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- Make sure you let them firm up in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cutting them, this will help them stay together much better.
these are a perfect on-the-go snack!
