These delicious Coconut Brownie Bites were definitely the best recipe from our January meal plan. When I first made these, I was way too excited. After taste testing a few too many (I had to make sure they were really that good) I put about 10 on a pretty plate and waited for Chris to come home from work to confirm my excitement.
And confirm my excitement he did…. by eating all 10 Coconut Brownie Bites within minutes. Face palm.
These are dairy-free and gluten-free. If you are a Tim Bit (donut hole) fan, they are the best replacement. A perfect on-the-go snack and sweet enough to take the edge off those sugar cravings. They make a super cute dessert, are great for potlucks and even the kids will love them. AND! They only take 15 minutes to make! Do I really need to convince you? Didn’t think so.
Oh, but before I get to the recipe, I wanted to remind you that we are now only 17 days out from our February clean eating challenge! We supply the meal plan, recipes and grocery list.
