Recipe: Peanut Butter Brownie Bites

Made with natural sweeteners these gooey peanut butter brownie bites are totally moreish and are the perfect energy fix pre-workout. Or of course with a cup of coffee as an afternoon pick-me-up. The sweetness comes from dates and organic honey and the smooth peanut butter and chocolate chips finishes them off, making them entirely indulgent with a little less guilt!

Ingredients:

Makes 15 brownie bites

• 3 tablespoons of all natural peanut butter (I used Pip & Nut, smooth peanut butter for this recipe)

• 50g of coconut flour (I use GroovyFood Co. - always!)

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C

2. Grease a square/rectangular baking tin

3. Soak the dates for 10 minutes in hot-to-boiling water for 10-15 minutes

4. Once soaked, drain and de-stone the dates and add to a food processor with the peanut butter and honey

5. Slowly add the almond milk and keep processing until smooth

6. Add the coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder & vanilla extract

7. Ensure the mixture is well blended and remove from the food processor
