Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für ein besonders intensives Schokoladenaroma kann eine Prise Espressopulver hinzugefügt werden. Wer eine vegane Variante wünscht, tauscht den Sirup gegen Agave aus und verwendet vegane Schokodrops. Damit die Brownies schön fudgy und nicht zu trocken werden, die Backzeit beachten und die Bites leicht unterbacken lassen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Die Brownie Bites schmecken auch ohne Nüsse köstlich, können aber mit gehackten Walnüssen oder Pekannüssen noch mehr Biss bekommen. Mit Schokostreuseln oder einer Prise Meersalz als Topping lassen sie sich zusätzlich variieren. Wer mag, kann für eine nussfreie Version das Kokosöl durch ein neutrales Pflanzenöl ersetzen.

Serviervorschläge

Genieße die Brownie Bites pur zum Kaffee oder Tee, als gesunden Snack zwischendurch oder serviert als Dessert mit frischen Beeren. Sie eignen sich auch perfekt als Mitbringsel für Partys, Picknicks oder für die Lunchbox unterwegs.
