Ingredients
Scale
Dates
- 10 large medjool dates
Jam
- 12 ounces frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
Brownie Layer
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup runny nut butter
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Melted Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup chocolate chips (Pascha brand recommended)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Jam: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the frozen raspberries, chia seeds, water, and arrowroot powder. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring periodically, until the mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Brownie Layer: In a mixing bowl, blend together the cocoa powder, maple syrup, runny nut butter, oat flour, almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Shape the mixture into balls or press into silicone ice cube molds and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Date Bites: Flatten each medjool date and place a frozen brownie layer ball or cube on top. Then scoop a spoonful of the prepared raspberry jam onto the brownie layer.
- Set the Bites: Place the assembled bites in the freezer for 1 hour to allow the layers to set firmly.
- Prepare the Melted Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Dunk each chilled bite into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly, and place them on a tray.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated bites for 20 minutes or until the chocolate layer hardens.
- Storage and Serving: Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy chilled as a sweet, healthy snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use large medjool dates for best results as they provide a sturdy base and natural sweetness.
- Freezing the brownie mixture before assembly helps maintain the shape and prevents melting when coated with chocolate.
- Pascha brand chocolate is dairy-free and recommended for a cleaner ingredient profile.
- These bites can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
- Optional: Substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
- Arrowroot powder helps thicken the raspberry jam without adding a strong flavor.
