Rich, chocolatey brownie bites made with a nourishing twist.

If you’re a chocolate lover like me, these Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Bites are the perfect little treat to keep on hand. They’re rich, fudgy, naturally sweetened with dates, and have a soft brownie-like texture.

Made with oats, almonds, hemp hearts, cocoa powder, and chocolate hazelnut butter, these brownie bites have all the flavours of a decadent dessert while also offering fibre and healthy fats that help make them more satisfying.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

Oats: Help create structure and texture while adding fibre to make the brownie bites more satisfying.

Almonds: Add richness, texture, and healthy fats along with a subtle nutty flavour.

Medjool Dates: Help bind the mixture together while adding sweetness and a soft, fudgy texture.

Hemp Hearts: Add plant-based protein and healthy fats.

Chocolate Hazelnut Butter: Adds creamy texture and rich chocolate-hazelnut flavour that gives these bites their brownie-like taste.

Cocoa Powder: Adds deep chocolate flavour without making the bites overly sweet.

Vanilla Extract: Enhances the chocolate flavour and adds warmth.

Salt: Balances the sweetness and helps enhance the chocolate flavour.

Chocolate Chips: Add extra chocolatey goodness and a little texture throughout the bites.

Kitchenware

You’ll also need:

• Food processor
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula
• Baking dish or tray (optional)
• Airtight container for storage

Steps

1. Blend the dry ingredients: Add the oats, almonds, hemp hearts, and chocolate chips to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes fine and crumbly.
2. Add remaining ingredients: Add the Medjool dates, chocolate hazelnut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse again until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
3. Shape the brownie bites: Roll about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into balls using your hands. Alternatively, press the mixture into a parchment-lined dish or pan and refrigerate for about 1 hour before slicing into squares.
4. Chill and store: Store the brownie bites in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Notes

• If your Medjool dates feel dry or firm, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes before blending.
• If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of water or extra hazelnut butter.
• These brownie bites store well in both the fridge and freezer, making them great for meal prep. Keep them chilled for the best fudgy texture.
