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.

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.

Watch how it’s made:

Ingredients

1 ½ cups prunes, about 8oz bag
1 cup smooth peanut butter, or nut-free alternative
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons liquid stevia, optional*

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease or spray a mini muffin pan.
In a food processor, add prunes, nut butter, and cocoa powder and puree until smooth.
With a cookie scooper, fill each mini muffin cavity with brownie mixture.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow brownie bites to cool down completely prior to serving.

Notes

Some cocoa powders (organic, raw) might have a bitter taste without any sweetener and almond butter isn’t as sweet as peanut butter. I suggest you taste your batter prior to baking to check if stevia might need to be added or adjusted.
