My Healthy, No Bake Brownie Bites bring back so much nostalgia. I used to LOVE those tiny, powdered-sugar-coated chocolatey brownie bites from the bakery section of the grocery store. But man are those TERRIBLE for you. I could never resist them! If you know, you know lol. What if I told you that you could still enjoy those chocolatey indulgences while eating wholesome, nutritious ingredients? My No Bake Brownie Bites are just as good and are gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free. Plus you don't have to turn on your oven!

These bite-sized goodies are the perfect combo of indulgent and nutritious. You can enjoy them knowing they are packed with wholesome ingredients that support your body, rather than leave you crashing later.

What Makes These Brownie Bites So Special?

Refined Sugar-Free: One of the most amazing things about these brownie bites is that they’re completely free from refined sugar. Instead, I use coconut sugar & maple syrup to provide a touch of natural sweetness without causing blood sugar spikes.

Gluten-Free: If you're sensitive to gluten or simply want to avoid it, these brownie bites are a great option. I use a combination of cashew butter and protein powder to give them that rich, fudgy texture—no flour required!

Dairy-Free: Say goodbye to milk and butter. These brownie bites are totally dairy-free, making them perfect for those with lactose intolerance or anyone following a dairy-free lifestyle.

A Sweet Treat for Everyone

These healthy homemade brownie bites are an excellent treat for anyone, no matter their dietary restrictions. Whether you're gluten-free, dairy-free, or just looking for a healthier dessert option, this recipe has you covered.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cashew butter (organic; if you are nut free use granola butter. Almond butter also works.)
  • 140g dates (large, organic, pitted, roughly 9)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (organic)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (organic, I used the brand Better Body Foods)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (33 grams is one scoop. I used the organic chocolate protein powder by Truvani. Use the code KATIE10 for a discount on their website!)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (organic)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark, organic - I like Hu)

How To Make Them

  1. Like a standard sized loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large food processor, simply add all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Pulse until you have a thick dough and all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  4. Press the brownie batter into your parchment lined loaf pan. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes to set.
  5. Remove from the freezer and cut into bite-size pieces. You can cut them into 20-30 bites, depending on how big you want them.
  6. Dust with some confectioners sugar substitute for garnish if you would like. I used monk fruit. Enjoy!

How To Store

You can store leftover brownie bites in the fridge or freezer for ultimate freshness. I like to freeze them personally and just take them out as I please! If you store them in the freezer, just let them sit out for 5 minutes to soften. They soften pretty quick! You can keep them in the freezer for up to 6 months or in the fridge for about a week or so.

Nutritional Benefits of Key Ingredients

You might be wondering what makes these brownie bites not only delicious but nutritious. Well, let me break it down for you:

  • Cashew Butter: Cashew butter is a great source of healthy fats and protein, making it a fantastic base for these bites. It also contains magnesium, which supports muscle and nerve function, as well as iron, which helps maintain energy levels.
  • Protein Powder: Using a clean, plant-based protein powder adds a protein boost to the brownie bites, helping to support muscle recovery and keep you feeling full longer. This is key when you're looking for a snack that won't leave you hungry an hour later! Use the code KATIE10 for 10% off Truvani protein powders!
  • Cacao Powder: Not only does cacao powder give these bites their deep, chocolatey flavor, but it's also packed with antioxidants and magnesium. Cacao is known to promote heart health, boost mood, and provide a natural energy lift.
  • Coconut Sugar: Unlike refined sugars, coconut sugar is lower on the glycemic index, meaning it won’t spike your blood sugar as much. It’s also rich in minerals like zinc and iron and contains inulin, a fiber that helps promote gut health.
