Ingredients needed for these no-bake brownie bites
You only need a handful of ingredients to pull this recipe together, and I bet you already have most of them in your pantry!
- Kodiak Cakes Frontier Brownie Mix
- Old-fashioned oats
- Creamy peanut butter or almond butter (whatever you have or prefer!)
- Honey or maple syrup
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Pecans (or any nuts you have/like! I think crushed walnuts or pistachios would also be amazing in this recipe!)
- Freeze-dried strawberries
what makes these no-bake brownie bites a healthy choice
These No-Bake Brownie Bites are a sweet treat that also contain nutritious ingredients, like whole grains from the oats & Kodiak Cakes mix, plus healthy fats from nut butter & pecans.
The strawberry bits are the final touch that add some delicious, natural sweetness, a pop of color, as well as important nutrients like vitamin C & fiber!
two different ways to prepare these bites
As the name suggests, you can definitely make these without baking. You will just store the no-bake version of these bites in the refrigerator and enjoy them cold!
However, out of curiosity, I also baked a few just to see how they turned out, and they were delicious this way, too! This made them more “cookie” like. If you’re into that kind of thing, all you have to do is bake them at 350 degrees F for about 10-13 minutes, or until done. I’d still store these in the fridge, but pop any leftovers in the microwave to reheat!
