Coconut Brownie Bites

Coconut Brownie Bites

Here is another recipe from my dehydrator, but should work in an oven as well.  I am loving these little bite treats when I am craving something sweet.  These brownies are rich from the cocoa, so feel free to add additional sweetener.  I think they are just perfect the way they are, but I realize we all have different thoughts on how sweet a brownie should be!

Recipe: Coconut Brownie Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (add more if not using beans)
  • 1 tbsp lucuma powder (optional)
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup honey*

Instructions

  1. Pour the coconut into a food processor and blend until small pieces are produced
  2. Add all of the remaining ingredients and blend well.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop, place each bite onto dehydrator sheets
  4. Dehydrate at 125 for 2-4 hours depending on how soft you want them
  5. Oven option: Set temp to lowest possible setting or use dehydrator setting. Bake for 1-2 hours depending on heat setting

Quick notes

*I used Xylitol honey that is less sweet than regular honey. Start with a 1/4 cup of regular honey and taste.

I have not tried these in the oven yet, so please let us know how they turn out!

    I just made these in the oven and they’re wonderful! I will say I added a little pinch of kosher salt to enhance the flavor (I LOVE salty/sweet treats) and baked in the oven at 170 degrees for an hour and a half and they turned out amazing :)

    Thanks so much for the recipe!

    Thanks so much for letting us know!! I always feel bad posting dehydrator recipes knowing not many people have them!! so glad they are still delicious in the oven! The Coconut Vanilla Bean Dough Bites is similar and super yummy too! I have a cinnamon maple recipe that is this same concept coming soon!!
