{Date Free} Chai Spiced Nut Butter Fudge Bites!!!

Um, you guys…. these date free, chai spiced nut butter fudge bites!are life and you need them in yours, asap!

Not even kidding, these babies are so unbelievably delicious it’s kind of insane, especially considering how easy they are to throw together!

Honestly, as far as recipes go it doesn’t get much easier than this  . . .

1 – First we toast our nuts – which is actually optional but highly recommended – I’ve made these fudge bites with both toasted and un-toasted and either way they are super yummy but , toasting the nuts first makes them next level delicious, if you ask me it’s worth the extra 5-10 minutes, but you do you!

2 – Throw em’ into your food processor or blender with some nut butter, coconut oil, vanilla and spices

3 – Scoop or roll into delicious little bite size pieces

4 – Chill

5 – Drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt,  if you want.

6 – Devour!

Done and done!

Ahhhh you guys, I am so excited to finally share this recipe with you. I know you have been asking for date free snack recipes for the longest time and at last, at last they are here at last!

I appreciate your patience friends and believe me when I say, these fudge bites, 100% worth the wait!

I am seriously obsessed with these delicious little morsels and I can not wait for you to try them for yourself because I know you are going to absolutely love them just as much as I do!

Sugar Free – Gluten Free – Dairy Free – Grain Free – DATE FREE – Vegan – Keto – Paleo friendly but most importantly they really do taste like an absolute dream!

They are the perfect balance of salty and sweet infused with just a hint of vanilla that heart and belly warming hum of chai inspired spices . . .

And don’t even get me started on the texture!

Silky smooth, melt in the mouth and deliciously buttery with just the right amount of crunch  . . .

And then we have that chocolate drizzle  . . . which, in the interest of full disclosure I added mainly to try to make them look a little prettier . . . without that drizzle although delicious they’re just so . . . beige . . .

Pretty sure we have all previously agreed that a drizzle of chocolate (or chocolate in any way, shape of form) really does just make everything better . . .

Add a pinch of flaky sea salt . . .

Yep, dead!

All natural, quick and easy, subtly sweet, deliciously buttery, perfectly spiced, date free nut butter fudge bites . . .

6 ingredients, 10 minutes in the making . . .

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them.

Date Free Chai Spiced Nut Butter Fudge Bites
{Sugar Free – Gluten Free – Dairy Free – Low Carb – Vegan – Keto – Paleo }

Makes approx 16 subtly sweet, deliciously buttery, perfectly spiced fudge bites

Ingredients –

1 1/4 Cups of mixed nuts – I used a mix of cashews, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts & Brazil nuts.

3 Tablespoons of your fave nut/seed butter

2 Tablespoons of coconut butter/oil

2 teaspoons of vanilla

2 teaspoons of chai spice mix or;

1 Tablespoon of coconut flour

Optional add-ins ;

1 teaspoon of maca – for hormone balance

1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – for an extra boost of protein and gut healing goodness
1 scp protein powder – for extra protein (vanilla or unflavored would work best in this recipe) – I use Proganics Vanilla whey – you can use EMS10 to get 10% off

Up to 1 Tablespoon of MCT oil – brain boosting energy

Optional for serving –

Good quality dark chocolate

Flaky sea salt

Method –

1 – Optional step – toast nuts for 5-10mins 175’C/350’F – or throw them into a dry frypan/skillet and shake frequently for 5-10 mins until fragrant

2 – Place all ingredients into your food processor and blend until it comes together to form a dough ( 🚫 keep an eye on it, if you blend for to long you’ll end up with nut butter which, will still be delicious but, is not what we want to make these amaze-balls)

* Note – if you feel like your batter is a little dry add a splash or two of almond, 1 teaspoon at a time to reach desired/rollable consistency.

You may also want to pop them in the fridge to chill for 5 minutes before rolling, this makes them a little easier to shape.

3 – Roll into balls (I got 16 using 1 Tbsp for each) and freeze for 30-45 mins until firm

4 – Once set, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with a flaky sea salt, if using

5 – Devour!

These bad boys are need to be kept refrigerated – I actually keep (and eat) mine in the freezer – they will keep well in an airtight container or stasher bag for 3-6 months, if not longer!

Enjoy xo
