Tools Needed to Make These Healthy No Bake Brownie Bites

• Food processor – This is one of my favorite kitchen tools. We’ve had this one for about 10 years now and it’s still going strong.

Ingredients Needed to Make These No Bake Brownie Bites

• Walnuts – These provide the base of these no bake brownies. Their high concentration of anti-inflammatory antioxidants, as well as their high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, ensure these brownie bites packed with nutrition.
• Dates –  Dates are a natural sweetener and a binding agent in this meal. Chewy and sweet to the point of caramel-like taste. I used these Medjool dates in this recipe.
• Cocoa powder (or cacao powder) – Cocoa powder is an unsweetened powder that adds chocolate flavor to your brownies. Cocoa powder includes iron, zinc, and selenium (another health boost) Get some on Amazon here.
• Salt – As a flavor enhancer, salt is a great addition to sweets since it accentuates the sweetness of the no bake brownie recipe. We love this kind because it still has the trace minerals in it.

FAQ & Recipe Tips

Overall, these are super simple to make, but in case you’re having trouble…here are my best tips & tricks for success!

Are your date & walnut brownie bites not sticking together?

Try adding a few extra dates, one at a time until the mixture is sticky enough to stick together.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These brownie bites will last in the fridge for a week or two. So you can definitely make them ahead of time. 

Can you eat raw no-bake brownie bites?

You should not consume the usual raw brownie batter that has raw eggs in it, but this recipe was created to be safe to eat raw – no heat treatment of any flour is required.
