Ingredients you'll need to make healthy brownie bites
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Almond Butter: Use creamy almond butter for a smoother, fudgier texture. Make sure it’s well-stirred and not too runny or too stiff—I like to use Barney's almond butter.
- Almond Flour: Opt for super-fine almond flour (not almond meal). It blends easily and gives the brownie balls a fudgy, soft dough-like consistency without any grittiness.
- Maple Syrup: It acts as both a natural sweetener and binder in this recipe.
- Chocolate Chips: I love using Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips for a rich flavor without being overly sweet. If you’re using a sweeter brand like Nestlé, consider reducing the maple syrup slightly.
- Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened Hershey’s cocoa powder brings deep, classic chocolate flavor. Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa to control the sweetness.
- Salt: Just a pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.

Can you use regular flour?

Hi, You can use regular flour, but I recommend heat-treating it first, as raw flour may contain harmful bacteria and isn’t safe to eat as-is - Maria

I just made these for the first time and they are delicious! My kids love them too.

When you cook the majority of your food from scratch over many years you get a "feel" for ingredients and ratios. And this recipe rung the right bells in my head; so I quadrupled it first time!
Kept half as written, added unsweetened shredded coconut and 1 tablespoon maple syrup to the second. Neither disappointed 😋.
A bit more work than I usually put into my no bake items but delightfully fudgy and TOTALLY worth it 👍.

I love this so much—thank you for sharing! 😊 That “feel” you get from cooking from scratch really is the best compliment, and I’m honored the recipe earned that trust on the first go (quadrupled, no less!). The coconut and maple syrup addition sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment - Maria ♡
