Chocolate-Mucuna Brownie Bites
Chocolate brownie bites are perhaps one of my favorite snacks! You can add a lot of nutrients into these guys without compromising on flavor. Chocolate is supposed to make you happy, too, so why not add a dash of Mucuna pruriens powder to make them truly happy, uplifting chocolate brownie bites? Mucuna pruriens is a bean that is a natural source of L-dopa, the precursor to dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for helping you feel happy, fulfilled, focused, and overall balanced. Mucuna and chocolate go wonderfully together, and because this is a raw snack, that means that they have even more nutrient value that you can feel good about.
Chocolate-Mucuna Bites
Ingredients
- 3 cups walnuts
- 1/4 cup mucuna powder
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp monk fruit powder
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup nut milk (I used almond milk, but you could use any milk)
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine at first. Then turn on for about 2-5 minutes, or until the consistency is relatively smooth.
- Add more monk fruit if desired, then combine (these are made to be dark-chocolate bites, so some people may prefer more sweetness).
- Using a regular cookie scoop, scoop out the "dough", press into the cookie scoop, and then place on a plate. Sprinkle mucuna powder over the top.
- Put the bites into the fridge for about 1 hour to allow them to set, then serve chilled.
