These chocolatey Almond Joy Egg Brownie Bites are the perfect festive treat made with gluten-free ingredients!
Filled with coconut chocolate flavor, each bite is packed with antioxidant cacao and vitamin E-rich almonds.
Start by making the brownie bites first. Mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl and all the dry ingredients (except for the shredded coconut and raw almonds) in another. Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Don’t skip this step! Sifting helps prevent your batter from getting lumpy, since flours and cacao powder can tend to form clumps. When you get a nice, smooth batter, pour it into a prepared baking pan and bake it in the oven for 25 minutes. When it’s ready, let it cool completely before crumbling the brownie into small pieces. Mix in the shredded coconut using your hands, pressing into the brownies to create a thick paste.

Next, mold out eight egg-shaped brownie bites, and press an almond on top of each one. Let them chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before covering them with a chocolate coating. Tip: If you don’t want to dip the entire brownie bite into the chocolate coating, you can simply drizzle it over the top. Chill your Almond Joy Egg Brownie Bites until ready to serve.
Wrap them up for Easter baskets or serve them as a fun treat to share with friends and family!
