Chef's Tips
If you don't have oat flour, you can easily make your own by blending rolled oats in a food processor until they reach a fine flour consistency.
For a richer flavour, ensure you use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids or higher) for the coating.
Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Form the Dough
Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, and optional espresso powder to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until a thick, rough dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk alternative at a time until it holds together.
Shape and Freeze
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Use your hands to shape it into a square approximately 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top and press down to flatten the surface evenly. Transfer the dough to the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
Cut the Bites
Once the dough is firm, remove it from the freezer and cut it into 12 equal squares.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Coat and Chill
Using a fork, dip each brownie square into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate and place the coated squares back onto the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining squares. Immediately sprinkle the tops with flake sea salt.
Set
Transfer the coated brownie bites to the refrigerator and chill for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully set and hardened.
