Can you believe that it’s almost Halloween? Woah!! Have you picked out your costume yet? Or one for your kiddo? Or perhaps you’re doing a best friend theme this year? One year, Erik and I did seriously consider being a bottle of ketchup and mustard. Tbh, Erik really wanted to do this and I cringed like 5 times in a row.

Because: I’m no lover of mustard. Let’s just keep it at that.

Plus, do we really need help looking even dorkier than we normally do? Geez, Erik! Although, one year, he did go as a 3-hole punch version of himself. Any Office fans just get that? Meanwhile, I was a very out-of-the-box, totally unconventional and very creative…

Cat.

Why mess with a classic, right? I was a great cat, too! Very agile. I hardly tripped on anything—no greater than 3 stumbles for me that day. Woohoo!

This year though, we’re really trying to up our costume game. More along the lines of elaborate and festive rather than super easy and straight up lazy. If you were around last year, you know that we were really aiming to upgrade our usual costume game like crazy. But it just didn’t happen. Darn it!

We even had a whole family theme planned with my mom (Grams), my sister Jenny and her kiddo Dylan. I can’t quite remember what we were gonna do, but many themes were thrown around. One including all of us being animals and my mom being the zookeeper. She was going to carry a butterfly net and everything. For no real reason of course.

This year, we might go for a Transformers/Rescue Bots theme, picked by… guess who? My four-year-old nephew Dylan, of course. In that case, Jenny’s newborn might just be a mini Bumblebee or Servo. I’ll keep you posted (I know, you’re waiting with bated breath).

Anyway, while we can’t quite keep our costume game on point, the least we can do is… TREATS!! About a month ago, I shared these no bake brownie energy bites with you. They were and still are one of my favorite recipes of all time. Just: try them warm. So. Good. But many of you asked for a paleo version.

You asked, I delivered. Yeah!! Welcome to my No Bake Almond Butter Paleo Brownie Bites.

I made just a few minor tweaks in this recipe. Out went the oat flour, in came the blanched almond flour. Erik and I bought a HUGE bag of finely ground blanched almond flour a few weeks back and I’ve been trying to put it into everything. Like, everything.

It’s funny because you’d think it’s the same thing as unblanched almond meal right? Wrong… I was sooo wrong. It’s almost delicate and light. I love using it in muffins to create a lighter batter. Case in point: these chocolate cranberry almond banana muffins. My next plans are to make some kind of paleo cake recipe out of it, but we’ll see!

Meanwhile, the blanched almond flour worked beautifully in this recipe. My goal was to keep the texture almost exactly the same as in my no bake gluten free brownie energy bites: fudgy, dense, and rich. But, I wanted it just a tad softer.

Secondly, I wanted to dial down the flavor of flax quite a bit. I feel like the flavor of flax is totally fine in energy bites, but in a no bake dessert bite, that flavor has got to be nonexistent. So I decreased the amount of flax in this recipe, tweaked the almond flour to absorb just the right amount of liquid, and voila: No Bake Almond Butter Paleo Brownie Bites.

    Hi! What could I replace flax seeds with? Are they for nutrition or for texture? Thank you.

      Thanks Lenna! I don’t have a current fave, but a few that I stick to. 😉 I like Guittard’s semisweet chocolate chips (which are accidentally vegan), Enjoy Life’s chips (allergy-friendly) and a few others. Hope this helps!

    My dough was a little dry to roll. What do you recommend adding to moisten it but not make it too runny?

      I’ve never tried it before, but that might just work–it depends on the protein powder. Every brand I try has a different absorption rate. Good luck!

      Hmm… not sure because I haven’t tried it yet! Try making a small batch and slowly adding in your sweetener. Allow it to set for a bit to see if you like the texture and taste before adding in more. Good luck!

      Hi Julie! You can try subbing the almond flour with equal parts sunflower seed meal, and the almond butter with sunflower seed butter. Or, you can make these gluten free brownie bites. They’re made with gf oat flour instead of almond flour. Just remember to sub the almond butter with sunbutter. Enjoy!
