This is what happens when you wake up to chocolate cravings but aren’t ready to commit to a full blown chocolate bar, dessert or refined sugar for breakfast. Coconut brownie bites…not too shabby if you ask me!
These raw, vegan, gluten free and guilt-free treats are made with 3-4 simple ingredients that come together in minutes. Super simple and so delicious. I dare you to eat just one!
The recipe here approximate so feel free to have a little fun. I have made these with only 12 dates, used 2 tbsp of cacao powder and only a few tablespoons of coconut for rolling. The end result was super fudgy and crazy decadent!
Feel free to experiment, give them a bit of a nutritional boost with hemp seeds, ground flax seeds, add your favorite nuts or nut butter or whatever calls to you!

This was my first time making one of your recipes, and it turned out so well! I used pulp from making almond/pepita/flax milk this morning and added an extra tbsp cacao to make up for the extra moisture. I also added cacao nibs, cinnamon, and vanilla so they would taste more like my normal brownies. Have you tried freezing these/if so do they freeze well?
