    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.

      Are you able to use Almond flour instead of coconut flour?

      Reply
      • Cassidy says

        March 18, 2019 at 1:19 pm

        Hi Jeanette! You probably could, but I'm not sure of the amount. Coconut flour is more absorbent and fluffier so you would probably need to add more almond flour than coconut flour and it would slightly effect the texture. I'm sure it would work, but again, I'm not sure of the particulars or how much you would need 🙂 If you try it out let me know how much you use and how you like it 🙂

        Hi Vanessa! We've always eaten them within the first few days so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess they would stay good around a week in the fridge - or could maybe even be frozen 🙂 If you try freezing them let me know how it goes!

      Since you have to process the walnuts or pecans to a fine ground, could you use almond flour instead?

        July 10, 2018 at 12:27 pm

        Hi Dianna! You probably could use almond flour, but I haven't tried it and am unsure of the amount. When I process the walnuts or pecans it's not nearly as finely ground as almond flour, it has a bit of texture to it. I use the nuts as a binder so I'm unsure how much almond flour you would need to use to hold them together. If you try it let me know!!!

      I made these today and I got 18 quarter sized balls. I substitutes pecans for the walnuts to lower the carb count. With my ingredients and serving size they are:
      kcal: 98.3
      net carbs: 1.68 ( 7.65g carbs - 2.29g fiber - 3.68 sugar alcohols = 1.68 net carbs each),

          Hi Katieforte! I'm in the process of adding nutritional information to all of my recipes but it's not quite finished yet. However, a reader commented that she got 18 quarter-sized balls out of this recipe and if using pecans instead of walnuts the nutritional info is as follows: cal: 98.3
          net carbs: 1.68 ( 7.65g carbs – 2.29g fiber – 3.68 sugar alcohols = 1.68 net carbs each),
