These no-bake keto brownie bites are not only super fast and easy, but they are perfect for snacks, desserts, lunchboxes, or anytime really!
No-Bake Keto Brownie Bites
I’ve decided that no-bake desserts – such as these no-bake keto brownie bites and my peanut butter bites – 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. And I have tons of ideas for different energy bite flavors so just get ready!
Not only are these 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.
Plus, they are full of fat and protein and low in sugar so they will keep your kiddos full for longer, hopefully until dinner 🙂
can these no-bake keto brownie bites be made paleo?
can these no-bake keto brownie bites be made paleo?Yes! The only ingredient that’s not Paleo compliant is the erythritol. So to make these grain-free and Paleo simply replace the erythritol with Coconut Palm Sugar – however then they will not be Keto.
How many carbs do they have?
As written, these have about 4.6 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! I’ve included the complete nutritional information for both versions below 🙂

Keto No-Bake Brownie Bites
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole Walnuts
- 1/8 tsp. Sea Salt
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 Cup Almond or Peanut Butter
- 1/4 C Erythritol or Swerve or granulated sweetener of choice
- 2 Tbsp. Coconut Flour or as needed
- 1/4 Cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips or chocolate chips of choice
- 1/2 tsp. Pure Vanilla
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor add the walnuts and sea salt. Process on high for 5 to 10 seconds, or until the nuts are broken up into small pieces.
- Add the cocoa powder, nut butter, vanilla, and Swerve (or sweetener of choice) and process until well combined and batter starts coming together.
- Depending on the thickness of your nut butter you may need to add coconut flour to help bind everything together. If so, add the coconut flour 1 Tbsp. at a time, and process until well combined until you achieve the right consistency. (if you add too much flour, just add in a splash of non-dairy milk). You can also add a bit more nut butter to help bind everything together if needed.
- Pulse in the chocolate chips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough between the palms of your hand to form small balls and place them on the parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until firm.
- Store in a sealed baggie or container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- A reader commented that to make these lower carb you can sub the walnuts for pecans and the nutritional info will be as follows: kcal: 98.3 net carbs: 1.68 ( 7.65g carbs – 2.29g fiber – 3.68 sugar alcohols = 1.68 net carbs each) fat: 9.14g.
- Do you prefer Paleo, date sweetened desserts? If so, you can replace the nut butter, coconut flour, and powdered erythritol with 1 1/2 Cups (around 15) medjool dates. This makes a perfect date-sweetened paleo brownie bite!
Nutritional information is approximate and may vary.
These are so perfect for my low carb diet. I made them today and they are delicious 🤤 thank you.
Made these today and they were PERFECT! Did not need the coconut flour. I used 1/2 almond butter and 1/2 peanut butter. Just the right-size “sweet” treat for after dinner. Thank you for the recipe!
Mine turned out so crumbly. I had to add a splash of water and about 1 tablespoon of sour cream in order to get anything I could form a ball with. 🤔
Oh no, I’m so sorry! In the directions, I noted that you can add coconut flour and non-dairy milk until they reach the right consistency. Did you try adding either of those? I’m glad the sour cream and water worked for you though!

Could you make these with Almonds instead of walnuts/pecans? I’m planning on using ground almonds instead
Hi Lou! Yes, you can make them with almonds, it will just very slightly change the taste 🙂 I hope you enjoy them!
-Cassidy
How many does this recipe make? And how many is considered a serving?
Hi Mary! This recipe makes 18 brownie bites about the size of a ping-pong and one brownie bite is considered a serving. I hope this helps! Enjoy 🙂

Hello! How long would you say it is ok to keep these after made if stored in the fridge?
Hi Alex! These go pretty fast at my house so I’m not exactly sure. But I would guess 3 to 5 days in the fridge 🙂 Hope this helps!
-Cassidy
Thanks so much! I plan to make them this weekend 🙂
Yummy! I used toasted pecans, some collagen, and used a combo of sunflower seed butter and mixed nut butter. Delish…no chocolate chips needed!
YAY Tessa, I’m so excited you liked them!!! I’ll have to try them with your variations 😁
I love these. I don’t use walnuts because I’m allergic. I substitute 1/4 peanuts. Not sure what the Carb Count is because I have a hard time with measurements, but i know it’s not that much. I just shared this recipe with a co-worker too. Definately my Go-To for Keto
I used pecans to replace the walnuts and loved them!
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!

Does it matter what kind of cocoa is used? Regular or Dutch processed?
Hi Cory! Since they aren’t baked it doesn’t matter – whichever you prefer is fine 🙂
-Cassidy
I don’t have the sugar free chocolate chips. Can I leave them out or substitute something else?
Hi Marcia! You can leave them out, but they won’t be as sweet or chocolate-y. You could maybe use cocoa nibs, but they definitely won’t be as sweet. Let me know what you try and how they turn out!!!
-Cassidy
What would be the net carbs if you didnt use nuts at all in the recipe? (I have a nut allergy)
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!!!

Ok so one month into keto and these are my favorite!! I like them a little too much. I have made 7 fat bombs recipes and this is the winner!
Oh YAY Crystal!!! I’m so excited you like them! Yeah, they’re addictive I like them a little too much too, lol!!!
-Cassidy
These were amazing!
YAY Charlene, thank you!!!
Are you able to use Almond flour instead of coconut flour?
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 🙂

Made these a few nights ago. They are absolutely to die for. By far my favorite keto dessert. Will try with pecans next time. Thank you for the recipe!!
I think these look great!
I am wondering what the consistentancy should be . . .I just made them but I am not sure if I needed to add 1 more tbsp of coconut flour. Thanks so much
Hi Kim! If the dough is too wet or sticky you can add another tbsp of coconut flour to help to hold the bites together 🙂
