    No-Bake Keto Brownie Bites

    Published: Mar 3, 2020 Updated: Jul 7, 2022 By: Cassidy Stauffer May contain affiliate links.

    These no-bake keto brownie bites are not only super fast and easy, but they are perfect for snacks, desserts, lunchboxes, or anytime really! Plus, they're paleo, gluten-free, AND vegan!

    I've decided that no-bake desserts - such as these no-bake keto brownie bites and my peanut butter energy balls - are going to be my new jam. They are A-Mazing!

    While I love my baked treats as much as the next girl, when you're a busy mom no-bake treats are a lifesaver.

    Not only are these low-carb brownie bites super fast and easy, but they will satisfy the fiercest of chocolate cravings and are perfect for snacks, desserts, lunchboxes, or anytime your kids say they're hungry. Even if they just had a snack and dinner is almost ready.

    Kids - at least mine anyways - are ALWAYS hungry and these are perfect to keep around the house for them (and mom!) to munch on.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love These Keto Brownie Bites: They are 1) super quick and easy 2) use common ingredients 3) lunchbox-friendly 4) gluten-free, low-carb, and keto.

    Plus, they are full of fat and protein and low in sugar so they will keep your kiddos full for longer, hopefully until dinner 🙂

    Or if you're looking for more no-bake keto desserts, I think you'll like my Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts or these Keto No-Bake Cookies-N-Cream Fat Bombs from Gnom-Gnom!

    The keto sweetener

    For the sweetener, I prefer to use a Granulated Monk Fruit Allulose blend because sometimes erythritol-based sweeteners can leave a slight aftertaste. However, any granulated keto sweetener will work!

    To see a complete guide on all the different keto sweeteners and how to use them, see my Ultimate Keto Sweeteners Guide!

    *Note-As a gift to my readers, I've teamed up with BESTI SWEETENERS to give you guys 10% off! Simply use the code "CRAVEABLE" at checkout.

    How many carbs do they have?

    As written, these have about 3 net carbs per ball.

    However, a reader kindly pointed out that if you exchange the walnuts for pecans the carb count is only 1.68 per ball - YAY!

    🔪 Easy instructions

    chopped walnuts in bowl of food processor.
    chopped walnuts in a food processor.

    Start by adding some walnuts or pecans and sea salt to the bowl of a food processor. While I prefer the taste of walnuts, pecans have fewer carbs and either one will work!

    Process until the nuts are broken up into small pieces.

    Then, add cocoa powder, sweetener, and almond or peanut butter and process until combined.

    💭Tip: Depending on the thickness of your nut butter, you may need to add either coconut flour or water to achieve the right consistency. You want the batter to hold together and roll into a ball easily.

    For nut butter that is really thin, you may need to add coconut flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until the bites hold together.

    If your nut butter is fairly thick, your batter may be crumbly. If this happens, add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

    Briefly pulse in some low-carb chocolate chips. Then, roll them into 18 bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Place in the freezer for 15 minutes set up and enjoy!

    Storage

    • Store: Leftover keto brownie bites can be stored in a resealable baggie or sealed container in the fridge for up to a week
    • Freeze: Keep them frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

    Substitutions

    This recipe is naturally gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, and keto. However, here are some substitutions to fit more diets:

    • For Paleo, use coconut palm sugar instead of a keto sweetener and paleo-compliant chocolate chips.
    • For Dairy-Free and Vegan, use dairy-free chocolate chips.

    💭 Top tips

    • Walnuts and pecans both work in this recipe. However, the pecan version has fewer carbs with 1.68 net carbs per bite, while the walnut version has 3 net carbs per bite.
    • Depending on the thickness of your nut butter, you may need to add either coconut flour or water to achieve the right consistency. You want the batter to hold together and roll into a ball easily.

      I've made these with both walnuts and pecans, and they're equally great. I use Trader Joe's creamy almond butter, and in addition to the cocoa, 1 heaping tsp of espresso powder and a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Heavenly!
      To make dough management easier, I dump the mixture into a sheet of waxed paper, then roll that into a log--makes it really easy to get consistent portions. Finally, instead of putting the chocolate chips in the mix, I press them into the tops of the choco-balls for a festive look. I've served these to guests and they don't realize they're keto-friendly.
      BTW, if you have a Kroger store near you, get the sugar-free Kroger chocolate chips - better and a third the price of the 'keto' ones--and mix nicely with peanuts for another keto-friendly snack!

        Hi Maya!

        I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, but I think it would probably work! The only thing I might worry about is having little pieces of skin from the almonds in the bites, but I really can't say for sure without trying it. If you give it a shot please let me know how it turns out!

      I made these minus the nuts because I didn't have any but your recipe says it makes 18 but I only came up with 16. I wonder if that had anything to do with me nibbling before rolling? ? You need to make sure to put that in the recipe also. Lol. I just couldn't resist. I did add a little MCT oil and a tad of Almond milk when it got a little thick. I sure wish I had some nuts. They would have been perfect.

      I followed the recipe exactly, but there was no way I could form this into balls. Way too moist. The recipe said 2 T coconut flour, or as needed. I added about 8 T flour and it will still very wet. Finally put them in small ramekins and froze them. What did I do wrong to not be able to form balls? It was thin and moist, more like a pudding

        HI New Baker! If the bites are too dry and won't hold together, you can add in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until they are the right consistency to roll into balls 🙂

        Hope this helps!

      Loved this super quick and reasonably cheap recipe. Definitely a keeper! I made 1.5 times the amount and varied it with 3 teaspoons sugar, not sweetener, rolled in sesame seeds rather than add coconut flour and put them in the fridge for 20-30 mins not the freezer. They were chocolatey with a hint of sweetness and looked good. These are my new must take party food! I'd suggest also rolling in coconut, black sesame seeds, chocolate sprinkles or 100s and 1000s for the kids. Enjoy!

      I made these tonight and they turned out great. I put a half scoop of collagen in. I can see lots of possibilities to make these healthier. Next time I'll add some flax seed or hemp seed. I will definitely try the pecans next time!! BUT I HAVE A QUESTION...HOW MANY SHOULD IT MAKE? I THINK SOME OF MINE ARE TOO BIG AND THEREFORE THE CARB COUNT WILL BE OFF. I HAVE 27.

        Hi Jan, I have the recipe making 18 and the nutrition info is per bite - so your nutrition info would actually be less!!! We are pretty big eaters at my house and I hate when serving sizes or super small so all of my recipes have good sized servings 🙂 I love that you added collagen, I'll have to try that! This is a good recipe to add all kinds of healthy stuff to!

        Hi Renee! I'm not sure how these would turn out if you left out the nuts because they provide substance and help bind them. If you leave out the nuts you might need to slightly adjust the other ingredients to make them stick together or replace the nuts with coconut maybe? If you google "nutrition calculator" you should be able to find a program where you can enter the ingredients and it will give you all the nutrition info, including the net carbs 🙂 I hope this helps!!!
