You only need three things to make them: soft, fudgy, and rich. No sugar or flour that has been processed!

To make it easy to follow at home, I’ve included pictures of each step below. To see the full recipe with all the steps and amounts of ingredients, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Instructions
- In a big mixing basin, mix all the ingredients together until they are smooth.
- Shape the mixture into balls that are small enough to fit in your mouth with your hands. Put them on a plate lined with parchment paper and put them in the fridge or freezer until they are hard.
Tips & Variations
- Use a processor for food.When I make almond butter at home, the texture is often too thick to blend by hand. In those cases, I’ll use a food processor or blender.
- Change the texture.Add a little chocolate powder if the batter is too sticky. If it’s too thick, you can also add water or almond milk to make it thinner.
- Wet your hands a little.So the mix doesn’t get all over the place. Or even better, use a cookie scoop!
- Change the nut butter.For a stronger chocolate flavor, use peanut butter or healthy Nutella.
- Put them in chocolate.Put chocolate in a bowl that can go in the microwave. Dip the fully cold bites in the melted chocolate and put them in the fridge until they harden.
- Sweet and salty.Before putting the bites in the fridge, sprinkle them with coarse sea salt.
- Nuts.Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Storage & Troubleshooting
To keep: Put leftover bites in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a month.
To freeze: Put them in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer for up to six months. Let them sit in the fridge for a short while to thaw.
Why are my brownie pieces so sticky?
Add more chocolate powder if your brownie bite mixture is too sticky. Add a little bit of blanched almond flour or coconut flour to make the bites firmer and more like brownies.
