Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Bites:
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2–3 tbsp milk (any kind, or as needed)
For the Chocolate Ganache (optional):
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar for rolling
- Mini chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Brownie Bite Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add the honey (or maple syrup), peanut butter (or almond butter), and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
- If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help bind the dough together. You want the mixture to be firm but moldable.
- Form the Brownie Bites:
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the bites are rolled, place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache (Optional):
- If you’re using ganache, place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Once the brownie bites are firm, dip each one into the ganache and place them back on the parchment paper to set. Alternatively, you can drizzle the ganache over the bites for a fun look.
- Optional Toppings:
- For a lighter option, you can roll the brownie bites in powdered sugar for a classic brownie effect.
- You can also top each bite with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for added texture and sweetness.
- Chill and Serve:
- Allow the ganache or toppings to set, then store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy them chilled for a rich, fudgy treat or at room temperature for a softer bite!
Notes
- You can substitute the almond flour with oat flour or regular flour if you don’t have almond flour.
- These brownie bites are versatile! Try adding in mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mini marshmallows for added flavor.
- If you don’t want to use ganache, you can coat the bites in melted chocolate or simply dust them with powdered sugar.
