Brownie Bites
These brownie bites require just four ingredients and make a great energy-boosting snack — or a healthier treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 8)
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
STEP 1
Add the dates to food processor until blended, then add in the cashews and continue to blend until you see speckles of cashews — be careful not to blend too much or the mixture will become too oily.
STEP 2
Add the cacao powder and vanilla extract and blend minimally to combine. This will form a “ball” in the food processor. The mixture will be sticky — this is OK.
STEP 3
Use a tablespoon to roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls. Or, line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, spread the mixture equally across the pan, and lay an additional piece of parchment paper over the top to smooth out the surface.
STEP 4
Freeze for one hour. If you used a pan, cut into 12 equal-sized pieces. Keep frozen or refrigerate until ready to eat.
