Instructions

Make the Brownie Bite Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt thoroughly.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), peanut butter (or almond butter), and vanilla extract until you form a thick, sticky mixture.
Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help bind the dough until it is firm but moldable.
Form the Brownie Bites: Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to roll the mixture into 1-inch bite-sized balls, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Chill the Bites: Refrigerate the formed brownie bites for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up nicely.
Prepare Ganache (Optional): In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Coat the Brownie Bites: Dip each chilled brownie bite in the ganache and return them to the parchment to set, or drizzle the ganache over the bites as a decorative finish.
Add Optional Toppings: For added flavor and presentation, roll the bites in powdered sugar or sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
Final Chill: Allow the ganache or toppings to set fully before storing.
Store and Serve: Keep the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy chilled for a rich, fudgy texture or at room temperature for a softer bite.

Notes

You can substitute almond flour with all-purpose flour for different texture and flavor.
Adjust milk quantities to achieve the perfect dough consistency—avoid making it too wet.
The ganache is optional but adds a decadent chocolate coating.
These bites keep well refrigerated for up to 5 days.
For a vegan option, use maple syrup and plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
