    Lately I have been noticing how sensitive I am to sugar, so I have been baking less and less these days. However, I do have a sweet tooth so I like to find healthier options that still satisfy my cravings. These Brownie Batter Bliss Balls with Cacao and Dates (vegan) are the perfect healthy way to satisfy a sweet craving.

    What ingredients do I need to make cacao brownie bliss balls?

    • cacao
    • almond butter
    • dates
    • coconut oil
    • oat flour
    • vanilla

    What can I substitute in this healthy brownie bliss ball recipe?

    • Almond butter can be subbed with another thick nut butter like cashew, I don't recommend using tahini as it is too liquidy. Sunbutter is a good option if you are allergic to nuts.

    Storage instructions for no sugar added bliss balls

    The extra bliss balls can be stored in your fridge in a sealed container for up to ~5 days. They could also probably be frozen and thawed as needed but I haven't tried this.
