Make these simple, fudgy date brownie balls. They are a quick, no-bake treat perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup soft Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons water (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Place the pitted dates, nuts, cocoa powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it forms a thick, sticky dough. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
  3. If the mixture seems too dry to hold together, add water one teaspoon at a time while processing until the dough clumps when pressed between your fingers.
  4. Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the finished date brownie balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  6. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • You can roll the finished balls in shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder for coating.
  • Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • If you do not have walnuts, almonds work well in this recipe.
