For days where you want to pack a healthy treat inside the lunchbox or want a 3 pm snack that packs more nutrition per bite than a handful of crackers, these three-ingredient prune brownie bites do the trick!

Healthy Brownie Bites with Prunes
I know, the words brownie and healthy don't usually go together but this recipe is the exception. My kids typically eat a couple of these sweet, juicy prune brownie bites every day. They offer a good 3 grams of fiber and only 100 calories per serving, making them the right idea for a snack!
I also use prunes quite often to make smoothies like my High Fiber and Protein Smoothie Bowl or an incredibly easy, yet impressive dinner, Chicken with Prunes and Sage. Prunes are very versatile for cooking although often we enjoy them right out of the bag!
While my kids’ lunchboxes are typically filled with a variety of foods, these bites add nutrition and provide that sweet treat they love to enjoy. Most importantly, I know they are made with real, whole ingredients that we can all feel good about eating.
Ingredients
With just three ingredients, these prune brownie bites can provide our bodies with healthy fats, fiber, and lots of vitamins and antioxidants. Woohoo! Here they are:
- Prunes: delicious and high in nutrition.
- Smooth peanut butter: or your favorite nut-free alternative.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: adds that brownie flavor we crave!
- Liquid stevia: optional for added sweetness.

How to Make Prune Brownie Bites
Making these prune brownie bites is so easy! Check the steps and then watch the video to see how I made this recipe with my 5-year-old. Easy peasy!
- Prep the oven
Preheat the oven and grease a mini muffin pan. - Combine
Puree prunes, nut butter, and cocoa powder in the food processor until smooth. - Form the bites
Use a cookie scooper to fill each mini muffin cavity with the mixture. - Bake
In 18 minutes, they are done! Allow the bites to cool down before serving.
As you can see from the video below, I practically have to ask my kids to leave enough prunes in the bag for us to make this fun and easy recipe -plus, I'm never short on volunteers to help make these.

Katie says
I made these today and they were so crumbly. Not fudgy at all and they were very bitter. I’m a regular baker and followed the recipe carefully but these did not turn out. Any suggestions? I used a natural peanut butter.
Laura Fuentes says
Katie, did you press them to “make them stick”? The batter isn’t crumbly at all. Very sticky.
Sarah says
I made them with natural almond butter (similar to natural peanut butter) and they were sticky. I shaped them into balls and were great.
Marni says
Could dates be substituted for prunes?
Laura Fuentes says
I have not tried this recipe with dates Marni.
Brooke says
Hi:) just wondering are they 3G fiber per serving as mentioned in blog or 1.1g as stated in nutritional facts?
Laura Fuentes says
the blog post refers to prunes having 3g of fiber per serving. Each bite has 1.1g normally I send 2-3 in the lunchbox.
Alison patterson says
These sound great! What is a nut butter alternative?
Laura Fuentes says
Nut-free butters are easy to find at most groceries. They include sunflower seed butter and soy butter.
