How To Make No-Bake Brownie Bites
Bliss balls, energy balls, or energy bites, whatever their name, are easy to make and ready in 20 minutes. The only important part of making delicious energy balls that are soft and consistent is to use a food processor. In fact, the energy ball batter is thick and sticky, and the recipe is very messy if made in a blender. That is why you need to use a food processor. They have a larger bowl and removable blade that makes it easy to create soft, fudgy chocolate brownie balls. Then, the ingredients needed are simple pantry ingredients and no oil! This is an oil-free vegan recipe for sweet lovers!
Ingredients
Let’s see the ingredients you need to make fudgy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate balls without an oven!
Almond Butter – You can also use peanut butter or any nut butter you love including fresh drippy cashew butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Flaxmeal – This adds fiber and holds the no-bake brownie ball batter together. Maple Syrup – While Medjool dates are sweet, you need an extra boost of liquid sweetener in this recipe to achieve the perfect brownie sweetness. Other vegan, refined sugar-free sweetener options are agave syrup, rice syrup, or coconut nectar. Chocolate Protein Powder – I use pea protein powder. Depending on the powder you used, the texture of the no-bake brownie bites can be slightly dryer. Add a splash of almond milk if it gets too dry or difficult to blend. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any plant-based milk you love, like oat milk, rice milk, or coconut milk. Salt – Optional, but it enhances the chocolate flavor of these no-bake brownie bliss balls.

Preparation
Serving Suggestions
Energy bites contain a good amount of plant-based protein and carbs, which makes these perfect as a post-workout refuel or afternoon snack. Usually, one or two energy bites are very fulfilling and enough to keep your energy level high for the next meal. I love them served on a mixed plate with Low Calorie Protein Balls, Carrot Cake Energy Balls, and Vegan Protein Balls. You can also dip them in Vegan Whipped Cream.
Why You’ll Love These Treats
There are so many reasons why these brownie balls are healthy vegan protein snacks for you. In fact, this recipe uses nuts, flax meal, and plant-based protein powder as the main ingredients. All are some of the highest protein-loaded plant-based ingredients which are essential to make your snack filling. Plus, these brownie bites are so good and taste like a real treat so you feel like indulging. So these little vegan treats come in handy for these healthy snacks to reach all your nutrient goals! Finally, these fudge balls are refined sugar-free, grain-free, and gluten-free! This means they are healthy snacks for vegan paleo eaters.
Storage Instructions
That is the great part about energy bites. They store for a very long time in the fridge. Usually, you can store these for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge, but you will probably eat them all before that time! Another option is to freeze the balls and defrost them 1 hour before you expect to eat them.
