Chocolate Brownie Bites Recipe

I refuse to live a life without chocolate or indulgent tasting treats and I am serious, lol but with that being I also want to make sure that I feel good about what’s going in my body. I want to enjoy treats that still allow me to feel really good instead of making me feel sluggish, create a sugar crash, make me feel moody or bloated and just plain yuck.

And that’s why I love sharing recipes like this one 🍫 Chocolate Brownie Bites. They’re quick and easy to make, they satisfy my sweet tooth, and they’ve got healthy benefits that help us feel our best. It’s a win all around!

This recipe makes 12 servings.

Ingredients

- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp warm water

- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds

- ½ cup almond flour

- 2 scoops protein powder (I use Vegan Chocolate Shakeology you can use whatever you would like!)

- 5 pitted organic dates

- ¼ cup canned black beans, drained, rinsed + dried

- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (no added sugar or gums)

- ¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder

- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

- 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (no added sugar)

Instructions

1. Make a flax egg by adding water and flax seeds to a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine and set aside for 3-5 minutes.

2. Add the flax egg, almond flour, Shakeology, dates, almond milk, beans, cacao powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Cover and pulse until a soft cookie-dough texture is created.

3. Using clean hands, form the dough into 12 evenly-sized balls, about 1½-inches in diameter.

4. Roll the balls in chocolate chips.

5. Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days (but they probably won’t last that long!)
