Less Guilty Brownie Bites!



I am not even kidding when I say how good these things are.  I have a HUGE sweet tooth and these brownie bites totally satisfy it.  They are only sweetened with Medjool dates!  Grain-free, vegan, paleo, and dairy free.  You can definitely modify it.  I found a recipe a while back, but I've since changed it a bit myself, so here is the recipe that I use!

10 Medjool dates
Pinch of sea salt
3 Tbsp. Cacao powder
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 c. Walnuts
1/2 c. Almond butter

You can use the walnuts and almond butter interchangeably, it really just depends what you prefer!  Almond is a little easier to mix up in the food processor obviously, but I've done it with both and they both taste good!  I usually start by putting the dates (make sure they have been pitted, those can cause problems in food processors :/) in a bowl of water, and microwave them/heat them over the stove for about a minute.  They get softer, and if there are any remaining pits, they're easy to remove.  Set them aside.
Add the nuts/nut butter, vanilla, cacao powder, and sea salt to the food processor.  Once the dates have cooled a little bit, go ahead and add them too.  Mix them in the food processor until you get a brown cookie-dough-like dough.  Roll into balls and you can garnish them however you'd like!  I rolled them in shredded coconut when I made these that are pictured, and they were way good!  You could melt chocolate and put it on top even if you wanted!  If you come up with any ideas, please message/email me!  I'd love to hear them! :)
