Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates (soak in warm water if firm)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (high-quality brands work best)
- 1/4 cup Natural peanut butter (or almond butter; can substitute with cashew or sunflower seed butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, add the Medjool dates, unsweetened cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, sea salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend on high until the mixture becomes sticky and uniformly combined—this should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Once the mixture achieves a thick, dough-like consistency, use a spoon or a cookie scoop to portion out small amounts. Roll each portion between your palms into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled brownie balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up and improve the texture.
- Once chilled, your Date Brownie Balls are ready to serve! Enjoy them fresh as a delicious snack or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Soak Medjool dates in warm water if they are firm to ensure easier blending.
- Refrigeration improves texture and firmness of the brownie balls.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
