Mexican Brownie Bites

Jump to Recipe Pin

These portable Mexican Brownie Bites are sweet with a hint of spice. They're easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand.

I really love energy bites. They are not only easy to make, they're perfect for a road trip or on the go.

Being gluten-free and vegan, it's nice to have a snack to bring with me even when running errands. It saves me money from buying protein bars and I get to control the ingredients.

These Mexican Brownie Bites are a healthy snack while tasting like a dessert. They were inspired by my No-Bake Fudgy Vegan Brownies.

💭 Tips

Soak dates in hot water to soften them, if needed.
If you need more than 2 tablespoons of water to form balls, add a very small amount at a time.
If you find the dough is sticking to your hands, place the batter in the fridge for an hour so that it's easier to form balls.
