    No Bake Brownie Bites with Sea Salt

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    No bake brownie bites are the answer to your chocolate craving. Add a little sprinkle of sea salt and you have a healthy, easy-to-make treat!

    Healthy Brownie Bites

    These healthy brownie bites are a great balanced treat or snack. They have carbohydrates from the honey (and maybe a little from the cocoa powder), protein from the protein powder, and healthy unsaturated fats from the tahini. I have posts on carbohydrates, protein, and fat if you want to learn more about those macros!

    I always like to mention using third party tested protein powder whenever a recipe calls for protein powder. Third party testing companies like NSF for Sport make sure what's on the label is in the product and in the specified amounts. Since supplements aren't regulated, we don't know what we're actually consuming if a product isn't third party tested!

    Chocolate Sea Salt No Bake Brownie Bites

    The chocolate sea salt combination is one of the best combos out there. The sweetness from these healthy brownie bites is complimented by crunchy sea salt, which results in a delicious treat. I recommend using sea salt as opposed to table salt because the bigger pieces add a nice texture!

    Ingredient Highlights

    • Chocolate protein powder - this is one of the main ingredients in this recipe. It adds flavor and protein! Note: the texture of these bites may differ depending on what type of protein you use. Tweak the tahini/honey amounts until your desired consistency is reached! I highly recommend using a third party tested protein powder so you can be sure you know what you're consuming (see "Healthy Brownie Bites" section for more on this).
    • Tahini - tahini is a sesame seed butter, similar to peanut butter but made with sesame seeds! The taste is nutty but not overpowering, which makes it perfect for these no bake brownie bites. It's a good source of nutrients like copper and manganese (important for bone health) as well as B vitamins (which play a role in energy production). It's primarily a monounsaturated (healthy) fat too!
    • Black cocoa powder - you can use regular unsweetened cocoa powder instead but I'm a huge fan of black cocoa! It's not as bitter as regular cocoa powder and gives recipes like these bites a dark chocolate color and flavor. It also contains fiber and iron!

    Recipe FAQ

    Can you freeze brownie bites?

    Absolutely! Store them in an air-tight container for up to 3 months in the freezer. They're super easy to pull out whenever you need a snack or sweet treat!

    How long to brownie bites last?

    I recommend keeping these no bake brownie bites in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

    Can you use an alternative to tahini in these no bake brownie bites?

    Definitely! You can use any nut or seed butter in lieu of tahini. Just note that different nut/seed butters may slightly alter the flavor.

    • Total Time: 20 minutes
    • Yield: 25 bites 1x
    • Category: Snacks, Desserts
    • Method: Mixing
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 cup (236g) tahini
    • ¾ cup (84g) chocolate protein
    • ¼ cup (88g) honey
    • 3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
    • 1 Tbsp black cocoa powder
    • 1 tsp sea salt, plus 2 tsp for topping
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 1-2 Tbsp water, optional (if needed to help bind the bites)

    Instructions

    1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
    3. Using a spatula (or your hands), mix ingredients until fully combined.
    4. Roll mixture into balls, ~1 Tbsp each, and place onto baking sheet.
    5. Sprinkle 2 tsp sea salt on top.

    Notes

    • I always recommend using third party tested protein powders! NSF for Sport is a great company that does third party testing
    • Depending on which protein powder you use, you may need to add a splash or two of water (some protein powders soak up a lot of liquid)
    • These make a great snack or dessert as-is or breakfast if paired with vanilla Greek yogurt!
    • Store in an air-tight container for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
