NO BAKE BROWNIE BITES
If you are searching for things to make no-bake, this gluten free brownie bites recipe can top your list! I am a big fan of no bake desserts for many reasons.
Firstly, I like to save money, and not heating up the oven keeps my energy bill down.
Secondly, I am always hot! No matter what time of year you can find me breaking into a sweat so I prefer keeping things cool.
I also think that recipes like these no bake brownie energy bites taste just as good after a few days whereas baked goods kind of lose their lustre after the first day.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THESE ENERGY BITES
A short ingredient list is always preferable and these no bake brownie fudge balls don’t require anything fancy.
- natural peanut butter ( I prefer chunky but smooth works too )
- cacao powder ( cocoa powder is also fine )
- maple syrup
- coconut flour
- dark chocolate chips
These raw vegan dessert balls are also very simple to make. Just stir and roll!
Get started by combining the peanut butter and maple syrup. I strongly recommend a natural peanut butter – check that the label lists just peanuts and you are good to go.
Adding in the cacao powder and coconut flour will turn the peanut mixture into a dough.
I use a sturdy spatula for stirring.
Then into the fridge, the dough goes to firm up.
This will make the process of scooping and rolling the dough into balls much, much easier.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use that to place your rolled bites onto. I use my trusty small cookie scoop and it works perfectly.
After they are all rolled out, place the baking sheet in the freezer for the final firm up.
This takes about an hour.
Then enjoy!
These healthy, no bake energy bites are excellent for prepping treats and snacks for the week. I find that if I have nutritious snacks prepped and ready to go I am less likely to buy last-minute crap and snack on something unhealthy.
These brownie bites are better than brownies in my opinion! SO much easier and way better for you.
Doesn’t that sound nice?
Chocolate and peanut butter is a winning combination and these tasty treats are definitely winners! This is now one of our favourite energy balls recipes and that is saying something – you know how much we love our no bake bites around here.
