Deliciously rich and fudgy Brownie Balls made from wholesome ingredients like medjool dates, cocoa powder, and almond butter. These no-bake, bite-sized treats are coated in dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes, creating the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors. Ideal for a healthy snack or dessert, these brownie balls are quick to prepare using a food processor and require minimal cooking.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 brownie balls

Ingredients

Brownie Ball Mixture

  • 100 g medjool dates (pitted)
  • 20 g maple syrup
  • 15 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 30 g almond butter
  • 40 g oat flour (made by blending instant oats)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coating

  • 45 g dark chocolate
  • 5 g coconut oil
  • Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie mixture: Add all the ingredients for the brownie ball mixture—medjool dates, maple syrup, cocoa powder, almond butter, oat flour, cinnamon, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla—into a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky batter resembling dough in consistency.
  2. Shape the balls: Divide the sticky dough into 10 equal portions. Lightly oil your palms to prevent sticking and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place the balls onto a plate lined with baking paper.
  3. Freeze the balls: Transfer the plate with brownie balls to the freezer and chill for 10 minutes. This firms them up for easier dipping later.
  4. Melt the chocolate coating: While the balls are freezing, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in short bursts until smooth. Stir in the coconut oil until fully combined for a silky coating.
  5. Dip the brownie balls: Remove the brownie balls from the freezer. Using a fork, dunk each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Lift with the fork and gently tap off excess chocolate. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the chocolate coating while it is still wet. Place the dipped balls back on the lined plate.
  6. Set the chocolate: Return the coated brownie balls to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes or until the chocolate coating has fully set.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the brownie balls chilled directly from the fridge for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use medjool dates as they are soft and naturally sweet, making the mixture sticky and sweet without added refined sugar.
  • Oat flour can be made by blending instant oats until fine, use gluten-free oats if needed.
  • If you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor, reduce the amount of espresso powder or omit it entirely.
  • The coconut oil helps the melted chocolate to be smooth and shiny when coating.
  • Store leftover brownie balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
