If you are looking for a delicious sweet treat and want it ready in no time, look no further. These No Bake Brownie Hearts are chocolatey and indulgent but all wholesome and nutritious. It is simple to make but more so very yummy to eat. It is a no bake situation which means you don’t need to spend time baking it or cool it down. Dip them in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle over sea salt for a little salty sweet balance in every bite.

I have made a no bake brownie recipe which is linked here. Those are totally different, from ingredients, taste, texture and overall method of how they are made. These are simple and travel friendly.

What ingredients do you need to make these No Bake Brownie Hearts?

We need gluten free oat flour (gluten free oats blended), cocoa powder or cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil and almond butter. I also like using vanilla in this dough to make it even more yummy. Once they are cut out I like to dip the little hearts in melted and cooled dark chocolate. Garnish with sea salt flakes on top. I do like to toast the oat flour ahead of time, cool it down before using.

What equipment do you need to make these No Bake Brownie Hearts?

To mix the dough we need a small mixing bowl with a rubber spatula. The dough is rolled out between two sheets of baking paper and a rollin pin. To make the heat shapes you can use a heat cookie cutter or make a stencil with baking paper. Also, you can leave these in squares. The dark chocolate is melted in a small microwave bowl and I use a fork to dip the pieces in the melted chocolate. Let them set in the fridge on baking paper. The heart cookie cutter I used is linked here.

How to make these No Bake Brownie Hearts?

In a mixing bowl we add the oat flour, cocoa powder and a tiny pinch of salt until combined. Add the maple syrup, almond butter, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir together until it forms a dough. Be patient and keep stirring. Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper and a rolling pin. I like these bites a little thick so make sure the dough is 1/2 inch thick. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter cut out the dough and place the heart pieces on a plate. Scrunch up the leftover dough and roll again, cut out the hearts and set aside. Repeat the process until there is no dough left. They are yummy and the next step is optional but I would recommend it.

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 10 second intervals until smooth. Add the coconut oil and stir together. Let it cool down a little before coating the brownie bites. Dunk each piece in the melted dark chocolate and using a fork let the excess chocolate drip off. Sprinkle over a little flakey sea salt. Once they are coated let them set on a sheet of baking paper in the fridge for a couple of minutes. Serve with a glass of milk.

How to store these No Bake Brownie Hearts?

These are great to make ahead and store in air tight containers in the fridge for upto 2 weeks. You can also store them in the freezer for 2 months. If you are traveling with them I would recommend leaving out the chocolate coating as it might melt.

They are a great Valentine’s day treat to make for your loved ones who have allergies or a great healthy sweet treat you can enjoy anytime.
