These no-bake chocolate covered brownie batter truffles may just be my new favorite dessert! I LOVE no-bake recipes, both for the ease and convenience as well as the deliciously fudgy texture of no-bake desserts and energy bites, etc. These chocolate covered brownie batter truffles remind me of delicious, edible brownie batter when you first mix them up. They then become much more firm and fudgy in the fridge, like truffles. These no-bake chocolate covered brownie truffles freeze great, and they are filled with nutritious ingredients, but you’d never know by the taste! I LOVE making healthier dessert recipes that do NOT sacrifice on taste and flavor.

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: No bake, gluten-free, vegan
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • For the brownie batter truffles:
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (I personally used 2 tablespoons regular cocoa and 2 tablespoons dark cocoa for a richer brownie taste, but this is optional)
  • ¼ cup almond butter OR cashew butter
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Chocolate Coating:
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons cacao (or cocoa) powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, to taste
  • OR can use melted chocolate (bar, chips, etc.) of your choice
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients (except the chocolate coating ingredients) until combined. Stir thoroughly until batter is evenly moistened and mixed together. I find this is easiest to do with my hands; it will take a few minutes.
  2. Using a cookie scoop, spoon out about 10 truffles (depending on size).
  3. Place truffles in freezer about 10-15 minutes to firm up while making the chocolate coating. It will be easier to dip the truffles this way.
  4. In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the chocolate coating until combined (you can also use melted chocolate of your choice).
  5. Dip truffles in melted chocolate and place back in freezer until chocolate is set and firm to the touch.
  6. Store these brownie truffles in the fridge! The will firm up quite a bit; you can always leave out at room temp a few minutes if you want a gooier, brownie-batter taste (either way; cold or room temp is absolutely delicious).
Notes
Notes: brown sugar makes these gritty like brownie batter; gooey and delicious when you first mix this! However, due to the coconut oil, these become much firmer in the fridge. They do need to be stored in the fridge as they get too soft/won’t hold their shape well at room temp. I like leaving out for a few minutes at room temp for best texture. Makes 10 large cookie scoops per batch. These are very freezer-friendly.
