These Cosmic Brownie Bites are a healthy and gluten-free treat that combine the natural sweetness of Medjool dates with crunchy almonds and walnuts, rich cocoa powder, and a hint of vanilla. Perfectly bite-sized and studded with colorful candy-coated chocolate chips, they make a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups Medjool dates, packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (only as needed)

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup candy coated chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base mixture: Add Medjool dates, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor. Blend all ingredients until a sticky, dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Adjust sweetness and texture: If the dough is crumbly rather than sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup and blend again. This will help bind the mixture and enhance sweetness.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Transfer the dough to a bowl and fold in the candy-coated chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Form the bites: Using clean hands, scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Serve immediately or refrigerate to set for firmer texture. Enjoy your Cosmic Brownie Bites!

Notes

  • You can substitute candy coated chocolate chips with regular dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a less colorful but equally tasty option.
  • If dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing to help create a better dough.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
  • Optional: Roll brownie bites in extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder for added texture and flavor.
