How to make No-Bake Brownie Bites
These mini treats are so easy and quick to make! All you need is a food processor and 6 ingredients:
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Medjool Dates
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut Flakes
- Cocoa Powder
- Maple Syrup
Plus, a little bit of water to keep them moist.
First, I like to put walnuts and almonds in a food processor and grind it until small pieces.
Then add the dates, unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, cocoa powder, water, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and mix it up again until combined with a texture similar to dough.
To make the balls, you can use a regular spoon or an ice cream scoop (1.5 tablespoon) to scoop the mixture and roll it into balls.
Place them on a plate or in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
Enjoy your delicious healthy No-Bake Brownie Bites!

Great formula! I felt water was a little bit of a waste so I omitted water and the maple syrup and instead added a heaping tablespoon of coconut oil. And didn’t have flaked coconut but I did have chipped so I just blitzed it in and it was fine. Perfect for me!
I just made a batch of these and they are absolutely delicious! And saves you a lot of money too! I buy these or similar, from a local store for 2 euros each! Unbelievable how easy they are to make. Just one question though, what kind of flaked coconut is used? Is it the big flakes one or the one used for rolling cakes and coconut balls for example? Thank you. Keep it up! 🙂
Hi Essie! I’m so glad you liked the recipe. I used grated coconut. You don’t want it to be too big, or it might be too chewy.
Can these be frozen, and for how long?
Hi Elissa! Yes, you can freeze them for up to a month.
I needed something quick for book club, they were perfect. I made a double batch with raisins because I didn’t have dates. I will repeat with dates next. This recipe is a keeper!!
Thank-you!
Thank you, Jo! I’m so happy you liked them 😉
Wow! These are WONDERFUL!!! I was hoping to add a recipe to my collection that didn’t include peanut butter or oats, and this one is perfect! It’s a great snack for athletes or anyone who is trying to watch their carbs. This will be a staple in my recipe box! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you so much, Sue!
Hi there. What do you consider a single serving for these to get to 194 cal? I’m trying to figure out if it’s 1 ball or a few? Thanks so much!
Just made these today. Taste great. Not over sweet which I prefer. They’re currently chilling in the fridge, but not for long!
Thank you, Helen!
These brownies are so delicious. Thank you! Didn’t have dates and had to substitute with raisins. Can’t wait to make again.
Thank you so much, Anthony! I’m so glad you liked them!
I am making these for the second time! I love them! They are so nice and fishy but still healthy!
Whoops! Auto correct…I meant to say fudgy!
Thank you, Abbie! ha-ha, they are definitely fudgy 😉
Its hard to read your blog through all the pop up ads.
Oh. My. Goodness. So easy and delicious! I’ll be making these often!
Thank you, Kim! I’m go happy you enjoyed them!
These are so good. My dough didn’t stick well. How are the dates mixed in? Is a blender used? I used a Vitamix to chop the nuts.
Hi Alicia! I chop and mix everything in a food processor. It’s the easier way. If it doesn’t stick well, you might want to add a tablespoon of water, it will help to bind the ingredients and keep them moist. Let me know if that helps!
These are so good! I have to limit myself to two per day or I’d be tempted to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Haha))) I just made a double batch a couple of days ago and it’s already gone!) So happy you liked them too!)
my hole family loves them! thank you
Thank you, Valarie! I’m very happy you liked the recipe!
These no-bake brownie bites are so easy to make. You’ve used such healthy ingredients and yet keeping the tastes scale high up there. This is the snack I’d love to carry in my bag whenever out
What can I use to substitute the nuts? I don’t want to take anything away from the consistency of the mixture but wondering if there is something else I have on hand that will work just as well. Can’t wait to try it out!
These look so yummy — and portable! Perfect for busy people like me, looking for a healthy (and tasty!) snack to bring on the go!
I’m so excited for a healthy dessert recipe that doesn’t need to be baked. It’s already hot outside in the south and I’m ready for recipes that don’t require an oven. These brownie bites are the perfect thing to snack on without feeling like I’m overindulging.
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I wish to eat brownies that are healthy and so easy to make. It looks absolutely delicious!
I want to reach through the computer screen and grab the whole bowl of these! Totally making these this weekend!
Ooooo these would be perfect for my littles! They don’t do well with sugar so having these sweetened with the coconut and dates are perfect!
What a healthy snack! My toddler has quite the sweet tooth but I would feel great about giving her these as a snack! Thanks for a great recipe 🙂
I make something similar to these and just love them. I have quite the sweet tooth so it’s nice to have something healthy in the refrigerator to snack on. Can’t wait to give yours a try. You have a lovely blog and your recipes look so inviting!
I’m intrigued by these little beauties and already scheming about what I could use in them. I know the kids would love to find these in their lunch bags, as would their parents! Great recipe, thanks for sharing!!
I wish I had come across this recipe when I was a teacher in Home Economics. We had a lot of practical cooking lessons with my students and this would have made for a great lesson topic.
Brownies and NO bake…count me in. These look delicious, and I know they would be totally addictive. I would have to make a double batch for sure.
