Vegan Raw Brownie Truffle Bites

Vegan Raw Brownie Truffle Bites

A few days ago it was a triple layer Chocolate and Nutella Cake… today I am posting a recipe for Vegan Raw Brownie Truffle Bites. The cake was an incredibly indulgent treat and one I am actually planning to bake again this weekend for my neighbours’ low-key wedding. These raw truffle bites on the other hand tick all the boxes for healthy, natural and fibre-rich without being any less indulgent. In fact they are so rich and dense they rival brownies in the satisfaction department – only difference being you can feel just a little bit smug eating these!

I had been sitting on a pile of healthy ingredients from MyProtein.com for a little while and I am elated to finally figure out a way to use them. These bites are a fantastic energy boost for when you arrive home from work starving and ready to ransack the biscuit tin – historically the time I make the worst food choices. And kids love them. Finally a snack with actual nutritional benefits that’s devoid of any additives. Seriously, these are win-win-win.

Vegan Raw Brownie Truffle Bites
Vegan Raw Brownie Truffle Bites
Makes about 25
350g | 12.3oz raw pitted dates
150g | 5.3oz pitted prunes
Juice and zest of 1/2 large orange
60ml | 2fl oz coconut oil, melted
45g | 1.5oz raw cacao powder (can replace with unsweetened cocoa powder)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
75g | 2.6oz dried cranberries
75g | 2.6oz raw nuts of choice, roughly chopped (pistachios or almonds work well)
raw cacao powder, mixed seeds, desiccated coconut, flaked almonds, orange zest to coat
Method
  1. Put the dates and prunes in a bowl and add the orange juice and zest. Leave to soften for 10 minutes.
  2. Blitz the dates, prunes, coconut oil, raw cacao powder and ground cinnamon in a food processor or Vitamix until they form a sticky paste. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts. Chill in the fridge for an hour.
  3. Place your choice of coatings in small shallow plates. Form walnut sized truffles and then roll in the coating of your choice. Store in the fridge.
Notes: For a less sticky texture, add a large handful of raw almonds to the mix.

    I've made things like this before and they're great. There's some delicious recipes to make your own version of nakd bars etc which are really similar to these with chopped dates.

    Last time I tried to make them I broke the motor on my blender as the pitted dates, weren't all pitted! I'll definitely try these, they'd be great for a boost on long bike rides!

    These sound delicious as well as being good for you! I also love how I often have most of these ingredients to hand or could easily substitute! Always helpful to have a recipe that I can whip up without leaving the house!
