Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter or allergy friendly substitute Natural peanut butter is recommended for less sweetness.
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup sweetener of choice Granulated sweeteners work best.
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional) Enhances flavor if used.
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted chocolate (optional) For binding and silkier mouthfeel.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chia seeds (optional) For texture and flavor enhancement.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a food processor, combine peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, salt (if using), and coconut oil or melted chocolate.
  2. Pulse until the mixture becomes a cohesive, smooth dough, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Fold in mini chocolate chips or chia seeds by hand for texture, or add them into the food processor for a uniform mix.
  4. Once mixed, scoop the dough and roll it into bite-sized spheres, about 1 to 1.25 inches.
Serving Suggestions
  1. Serve the brownie bites cool on a small dish, optionally dusted with fine cocoa or powdered sugar.
  2. Pair with espresso, a robust tea, or cold milk, and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for extra flavor.
Storage
  1. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for several days, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
  2. For longer storage, freeze the bites on a tray until firm and then transfer to a sealed bag for up to three months.

Notes

Chill the mixture before rolling if it’s too sticky. For a glossy finish, roll the bites in melted chocolate and chill until set.
