🟫🍫 Healthy Sweet Bites (Only 5 Ingredients!)

Hey there, sweet snack lovers! 👋 If you’re looking for something tasty, healthy, and super quick to make these Healthy Sweet Bites are the answer! I love whipping these up when I want a snack that’s sweet but still good for me. They’re chewy, chocolatey, and full of yummy stuff like oats, dates, and almonds. The best part? You only need 5 simple ingredients, and they’re done in no time!

Method

Blend the Base:

Start by adding all of your base ingredients oats, pitted Medjool dates, almonds, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. This step is super important because it helps everything blend together into a thick, sticky dough. Make sure to process the mixture until it turns into a soft, moldable ball. If it looks crumbly at first, don’t worry just keep pulsing! The natural stickiness of the dates will help it come together after a minute or two.

Shape the Bites:

Once the mixture is ready, it’s time to shape it into little cubes. The easiest way to do this is by using a silicone ice cube tray. This kind of tray is soft and bendy, so you’ll be able to pop out the bites later without breaking them. Divide the mixture evenly and press it firmly into each cube space using the back of a spoon. You want to press down hard enough so there are no air pockets, and the surface is nice and flat.

Top with Chocolate:

Now comes the fun part chocolate! Melt about 40g of dark chocolate in a small bowl, either using a microwave in short bursts or over a warm stove using the double boiler method. Once it’s melted and smooth, drizzle the chocolate right over the top of each bite in the tray. You can keep it simple or get creative and add toppings like chia seeds, hemp seeds, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to add crunch and flavor.

Freeze:

After topping with chocolate, place the whole tray into the freezer. Let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes, just long enough for everything to firm up. This makes the bites easier to remove from the mold and gives them a nice, cool texture. They won’t freeze solid, but they’ll be the perfect chewy consistency.

Store:

Once the bites are firm and ready, pop them out of the tray and store them in a container in the fridge. They stay fresh and soft for several days, and they’re super easy to grab when you need a quick snack.
