These 3-Ingredient Healthy Brownie Truffles are made with 3 simple, wholesome ingredients, and guess what? Not one of them is sugar. Just raw walnuts, dates, cocoa powder (or cacao). These bites are a great source of Omega-3 fats – thanks to the walnuts!
These truffles are gluten-free, plant-based, raw, and can be made nut-free too.
Why omega-3 fats are good for you:
Omega-3s are a wonderful fatty acid that’s essential for your brain, your heart, and immune system. Most people will fail to get enough omega-3s in their diet as we tend to not eat fish ( because vegan diet ) You can read more about 0mega-3s here.
But did you know walnuts also contain copper, vitamin e, and other anti-inflammatory properties? I’ve never been more of a fan of walnuts until now!
The only sweetener in these little bites of goodness is the dates. If you weren’t already aware, dates are an amazing source of fiber and vitamins, and their natural sweetness (and sticky texture!) is perfect for adding to no-bake snacks and treats.
I simply love simple easy to make bites like these 3-Ingredient Healthy Brownie Truffles. They are easy to pack and carry around, for a quick healthy snack whenever needed.
