Brownie Energy bites

Chocolatey, fudgy, and ready in 15 minutes

These brownie energy bites taste like actual brownies but are made with wholesome ingredients. Rich chocolate flavor in every bite.

What you need

• 1 cup dates (pitted)
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

How to make it

1. Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain
2. Add all ingredients to food processor
3. Pulse until mixture sticks together
4. Roll into small balls
5. Optional: roll in cocoa powder for extra chocolate
6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
7. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Why this works

No baking, pure chocolate satisfaction. The dates provide natural sweetness and fudgy texture, while cocoa delivers rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for chocolate cravings without the sugar crash.

Practical tip: Use Medjool dates for the best texture. Add a tablespoon of espresso powder for mocha brownies. These are so good, no one will believe they're healthy.
