6 ingredient brownie batter truffles – the perfect no-bake dessert for any brownie lover! They’re gluten free, dairy free, paleo, and refined sugar free, and super easy to make. If you love chocolate, you’ll adore these double chocolate truffles!
How many truffles does this recipe make?
This recipe makes 8-15 truffles, depending on the size! I like to make smaller truffles and usually get about 14 or 15 from one batch.

What ingredients do I need to make these brownie batter truffles?
If you want to make these truffles, here’s what you’ll need:
- cocoa powder
- salt
- almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
- pure vanilla extract
- chocolate (see below)
- coconut oil (optional)
Do I have to use almond butter?
No, you don’t! If you don’t want to use almond butter in this recipe, feel free to use any other nut or seed butter. Cashew butter, peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, hazelnut butter, and walnut butter would all work and taste delicious.
How can I make this recipe nut free?
If you need to keep the recipe nut free, be sure to use a seed butter (sunflower seed butter or tahini) instead of a nut butter. You can also replace the coconut oil with another neutral oil if needed (I recommend avocado oil) or just omit it from the recipe.

Where can I find dairy free chocolate?
- Dairy Free: If you’re looking for all types of dairy free chocolate chips/chunks, I would recommend Enjoy Life Foods dairy free chocolate chips. They have dark, semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and white chocolate chips! And everything is dairy free!
- Dairy Free and Refined Sugar Free: If you’re looking for chocolate that is dairy free and refined sugar free, I would recommend Hu Kitchen chocolate. It’s sweetened only with dates or coconut sugar and so delicious!
- Dairy Free & Sugar Free: If you’re looking for dairy free chocolate chips that are also sugar free, I would recommend Pascha chocolate chips. They’re either unsweetened or sweetened with stevia.
How do I store these truffles?
You’ll want to store these brownie batter truffles in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting or getting too soft. You can also store them in the freezer for long term storage!

6 Ingredient Brownie Batter Truffles
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, I use dairy free and refined sugar free chocolate)
For the Coating
- 1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate (I use dairy free and refined sugar free chocolate)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, or other neutral oil)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the truffle filling. If the batter is too wet, add a little more cocoa powder. If it’s too dry, add more nut butter, maple syrup/honey, or a splash of water. The batter should be firm enough to roll into balls and not stick to your fingers. If adding chocolate chips, stir them in at this point.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the batter and roll it into balls with the palms of your hands (this recipe yields about 8–14 truffles, depending on the size).
- Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, remove them from the fridge.
- Next, make the chocolate coating: melt the chocolate with the coconut oil (if using), using your preferred method. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the chocolate-covered truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray and return to the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, the truffles are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

These are really delicious and so easy to make! Thank you! I think that one could even halve the amount of maple syrup and they’d still be sinfully tasty!
So so glad you enjoyed! I love this recipe! They are rich for sure!
