material
- Almond pulp – If you’ve clicked on this recipe, you’re probably very familiar with almond pulp. For those of you who aren’t, however, almond pulp is the leftover, super moist pulp
- Cocoa powder – Cocoa powder gives these bites a chocolate flavor. It also helps absorb some of the moisture in the almond pulp.
- the dates – Dates are the only thing sweetening the bite of these Nutmeg Brownies! I personally like to use Medjool dates, but any soft and gooey date will work. Palms are also important in holding these bites together so they don’t break.
- Ground Flaxseed – Ground flaxseed adds fiber and also helps bind these bites together. I buy my flaxseed and store it in the fridge so it doesn’t go bad.
- Shredded coconut – For some texture, I like to incorporate shredded coconut into these brownie bites.
- coconut oil – Coconut oil adds richness and helps bind these nut pulp brownies together. I use unrefined coconut oil.

Substitutions and Alterations

How to Make Almond Pulp Brownie Bites
Step 1: Place the almond pulp and soft, sticky dates in a blender or food processor and process until a fairly smooth batter is formed. I used my Vitamix and kept the speed on a low setting while using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.
Step 2: Once the paste is ready, pour the paste into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3: Stir everything together until a chocolate dough is formed.
Step 4: Roll the dough into balls and, if desired, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut or cocoa powder. You can refer to the section below titled “Storage” but I recommend storing these brownie bites in the freezer.
storage
The dough for these brownie bites is quite soft, so I recommend storing them in the freezer! Even though they’re refrigerated, they don’t harden, so you can eat them straight from the freezer and they’re the perfect consistency!
Expert tips
- If you are using a Vitamix blender to make almond pulp/date paste, be sure to adjust the speed fairly low. You would think that the ingredients would be mixed faster, but it just pushes the ingredients to one side and they don’t mix as well. Low and slow is the way to go!
- Refrigerate these bites for best consistency! They are by no means hard, but rather the perfect texture to eat straight from the fridge.
- For some added texture, stir some mini chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts into the batter before forming them into balls.
Recipe FAQs
Almond pulp is a mix of wet almonds from making homemade almond milk. To make homemade almond milk, you blend soaked almonds with water until a creamy, non-dairy milk is formed. You then need to strain the milk through an almond milk bag or fine mesh strainer to extract the thick almond milk pulp. What remains after straining the almond milk is the almond pulp!
If you plan to reuse the leftover almond pulp, you can store it in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator for about a week. If you want to use it eventually, but don’t think you’ll use it within a week, you can freeze it in a sealed bag or container until needed. To thaw frozen almond pulp, transfer it to the refrigerator until soft, or you can probably set it in water for a quick thaw if needed.
Almond pulp can be used in many ways! You can keep it as is and add it to smoothies or oatmeal for some extra nutrition. You can dehydrate almond pulp in your oven or dehydrator and then blend it to make almond flour. You can also use it in a variety of recipes and turn it into granola, hummus, crackers, granola bars, brownies, fudge, and more!
How do I turn almond pulp into almond flour?
Wet almond pulp can be difficult to work with due to its high moisture content, so many people prefer to dehydrate it, either in the oven or in a dehydrator, and then mix it into the almond flour. Then, that almond flour can be used for baking!
stove: To dry almond pulp using an oven, set your oven temperature to the lowest setting (170℉-210℉) and spread the almond pulp on a parchment paper (or silicone baking mat) lined baking tray. Then bake the almond pulp for an hour or two or until completely dry. Then take the dried almond pulp and blend it in a blender or food processor until a fine powder is formed.
Dehydrator: To use a dehydrator, spread the nut pulp on a Teflex sheet and dehydrate at 115℉ for 4-8 hours or until completely dry. Then mix it with the flour using a blender or food processor.
