Ingredients

Brownie Bites Ingredients

  • ¾ cup natural peanut butter (chunky preferred)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the natural peanut butter and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients & Form Dough: Add the cacao powder and coconut flour to the wet mixture and blend thoroughly until a dough forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  3. Chill Dough: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This chills the dough, making it firmer and easier to handle for rolling.
  4. Shape Brownie Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each portion firmly into a ball shape to form the brownie bites.
  5. Freeze to Set: Place the baking sheet with the rolled brownie bites into the freezer for 45 minutes to fully set and firm up.
  6. Store Properly: Transfer the brownie bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for up to one week, allowing for easy snacking anytime.

Notes

  • You can use creamy peanut butter if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Ensure to use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the best taste and texture.
  • Coconut flour helps absorb moisture; do not substitute with all-purpose flour to keep it gluten-free.
  • The freezer step is important to maintain the shape and firmness of the bites.
  • These bites can be enjoyed straight from the fridge or at room temperature for a softer texture.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the dough.
