Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ein Hauch Espresso-Pulver hebt die Schokoladennote noch weiter hervor. Für eine vegane Variante kann Agavensirup statt Honig und vegane Schokodrops eingesetzt werden. Die Aufbewahrung gelingt perfekt in einem luftdichten Behälter bei Raumtemperatur bis zu drei Tage oder im Kühlschrank für eine Woche.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Wer Nüsse verträgt, kann gehackte Walnüsse oder Pekannüsse unterheben. Ohne Eier gelingen die Brownies auch mit Flax-Eiern. Das Ersetzen von Kokosöl durch ein neutrales Pflanzenöl macht sie ebenfalls nussfrei.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Brownie Bites pur als schnelles Dessert, mit einem Klecks griechischem Joghurt oder mit frischen Beeren. Für festliche Anlässe hübsch stapeln und mit etwas Puderzucker bestäuben.
