“I made a batch of these yesterday, and they were a huge hit! I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant and attempting to incorporate more dates into my diet after reading about the benefits f pregnancy and delivery.
My only regret is not doubling the batch! These were so yummy and a huge hit with the rest of the family. I had coconut flakes on hand and rolled each ball in them to finish and it took them over the top. I will definitely be making these again!” – Dominique
These wholesome peanut butter brownie balls are made with nutritious ingredients like almonds, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, all-natural peanut butter, and maple syrup.
We love that there is no refined sugar in this recipe, making it the perfect treat or snack for adults and kiddos! We love making these for when we want to curb that chocolate craving but don’t quite want to chow down on a batch of fudgy brownies!
What You Need to Make Peanut Butter Brownie Balls
- Raw almonds: We ground up almonds into a fine meal for our base. Almond meal is a great base ingredient for energy balls because they don’t have a TON of flavor until they are roasted.
- Medjool Dates: Dates add a little bit of sweetness and are sticky, allowing the balls to stick together.
- Cocoa powder: We used dark cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor, but regular cocoa powder would work for this recipe!
- All-natural peanut butter: Brings that rich, peanut buttery goodness we all know and love. Pick whatever kind of peanut butter you like, whether that’s creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter.
- Maple syrup: We love using maple syrup because it’s a natural sweetener and provides that luscious maple flavor.
- High speed food processor: Blends everything up super nicely so it all sticks together.

Recipe Customizations
- Peanut powder: If you want to substitute whole peanuts for almonds because they are cheaper, you’re more than welcome to do that!
- Protein powder: Want a boost of protein? Add in your favorite protein powder! You can use plant-based protein or whey protein. Some of our favorites are Teras Whey, Garden of Life Organic Whey Protein Powder, and Garden of Life Raw Organic Vanilla Protein Powder.
- Nut butter: If peanut butter isn’t your jam, use almond butter or cashew butter instead! Both provide that rich consistency but with slightly different flavors.
- Coconut sugar: If you don’t have maple syrup, coconut sugar is a great swap! It’s kind of like brown sugar but made from coconuts!
- Shredded coconut: If you want to add a tropical vibe, add some shredded unsweetened coconut!
How do I store brownie peanut butter balls?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 2 months!
Can I make a double batch of these and freeze them?
Yes! Just double the ingredients and pop them into the freezer for up to 2 months! When you’re ready to eat them, let them sit out at room temperature or in the fridge until completely thawed.
Do I have to bake peanut butter brownie bites?
Nope! These are a no-bake dessert or snack, so no need to fire up the oven.
