I’ve mentioned about a million times before that I’m not chocolate’s biggest fan. I’ll reach for sugar cookies or blondies over chocolate just about 99% of the time.
BUT. I’ll admit that every once in a while, I do find myself craving a dense, fudgy, decedent chocolate treat.
Today was one of those days.
ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 -1/3 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you want them to be)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions: Combine coconut flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl, and sift with a fork to remove any lumps. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Then add the dry chocolate mixture and combine well. Use a tablespoon to make 10-12 brownie bites and then roll them into little balls. Place on a parchment or foil-lined plate, and freeze for 10 minutes before eating. Store in a tupperware the freezer refrigerator…if they last that long.
If you want to get really fancy, you could roll these in some crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or powdered sugar.
I guess you could also refer to these as “truffles,” but…brownie batter just sounds like more fun to eat, if you ask me.
What’s your favorite way to eat chocolate?

Mh, do you think that would work with peanut flour instead of coconut?
Hi Alex! I can’t say for sure, but I’m thinking it *might* work…? The consistencies of coconut flour and peanut flour are quite similar. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

I tried cake flour and had very tasty results!!
Well those look super easy! My favorite recipes are the easy ones.
And speaking of, I’m FINALLY making your cake batter blondies this weekend … can’t wait to try them!
Those look good-every time you post a recipe I want to try it!!
You need to stop with all these great no-bake recipes! Seriously!
Looks great
i love that we posted chocolate bites on the same day! I knew we were meant to be friends
love this recipe, i will have to make these!
Oh my gosh, delicious! I love how you are obsessed with “batter” recipes, so much fun (and o much deliciousness). I can’t wait to make these, definitely excited about the coconut flour
Ah, I’m like you … 99% of the time, I reach for something more vanilla sugary v. chocolate, but these look amazing!
I also love that they don’t require a nut butter! I’ve been looking for some no bake recipes and most require nuts and sadly, I have a nut allergy.

Tried these tonight! I only had baking cocoa, not sure if it’s the same thing or not, and it wasn’t sweet enough for my taste so I upped the sugar to 1/3 cup and it was perfect! So yummy! Will definitely be making these more often.
Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Ky! Yes - these are definitely not incredibly sweet (I prefer my chocolate treats to be more on the almost bittery side) so good call adding the extra sugar. I may add a note in the post about that, in fact! Thanks for the comment!
Amazing! - gluten-free and raw. Thanks so much for the recipe. You rock!

Thanks for the recipe! My friends loved them and I don’t like chocolate that much but these were a definite exception. I modified mine slightly and just posted some pictures, thanks again!
