  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • Pitted Medjool dates: 1 cup
  • Rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned): 1/2 cup
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
  • Almond or peanut butter: 2 tablespoons
  • vanilla bean paste: 1 teaspoon
  • Mini chocolate chips (plus extra for rolling, optional): 2 tablespoons
  • Sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine the pitted Medjool dates, rolled oats, cocoa powder, nut butter, vanilla bean paste, and sea salt in the bowl of a high-powered food processor.
  2. Step 2: Process the mixture on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Continue blending until the mixture begins to clump together and forms a large, sticky ball of dough.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the dough to a medium mixing bowl. Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Step 4: Roll the dough into uniform, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter (yielding 12 to 15 bites). If the mixture is too sticky, dampen your hands slightly before rolling.
  5. Step 5: Place the finished brownie bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to firm up completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Keep these bites fresh and firm by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or freeze them for up to three months.
  • If you freeze a batch, let the bites sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to achieve the optimal dense, chewy texture.
  • For an elevated dessert, serve the chilled bites alongside a hot cup of black coffee or dust them lightly with extra cocoa powder just before plating.
  • To ensure your dough binds properly, make sure your dates are soft; if the mix seems dry after processing, add a teaspoon of hot water or milk until the mixture forms a sticky ball.
