No Bake Brownie Bites are a quick and delicious treat made with simple ingredients, perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without turning on the oven. These bites combine peanut butter and cocoa powder into a smooth, fudgy dough that you can roll into bite-sized balls. Customizable with optional add-ins like mini chocolate chips or chia seeds, they can be stored at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (or allergy friendly substitute)
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., sugar, honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted chocolate

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients: Combine the peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt (if using) in a food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a smooth, thick dough, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even mixing.
  2. Add optional ingredients: If using, stir in mini chocolate chips or chia seeds either before blending or fold them in gently after blending to keep them intact.
  3. Form the bites: Once the mixture is smooth and firm enough to handle, roll it into small bite-sized balls using your hands.
  4. Store and chill: You can enjoy the bites immediately or store them on the counter for a day, refrigerate for firmer texture, or freeze for longer storage. If using coconut oil or melted chocolate, fold it in during the blending step to add richness and a smoother texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use a food processor instead of a blender to achieve the ideal dough consistency.
  • Feel free to substitute peanut butter with any allergy-friendly nut or seed butter.
  • Adjust the sweetener quantity depending on your taste preference and the type of sweetener used.
  • Storing in the refrigerator will firm up the bites, making them easier to handle and less sticky.
  • Add chia seeds for extra fiber and nutrients or mini chocolate chips for added texture and sweetness.
