How to Make It

1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

2 Into the bowl of a large food processor, add all the ingredients. Pulse or process until the mixture is well combined.

3 Remove the bowl and blade from the base. Divide the batter evenly, filling 36 to 38 sections of either a silicone brownie-bites pan or a nonstick miniature muffin pan (I use two pans).

4 Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until tops are golden and almost firm to the touch. Watch carefully so that you don’t under or over bake. Remove your bites from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
