I love making homemade almond milk.
It's creamy, subtly sweet and I feel so fancy making almond milk from scratch!
However, I hate food waste so I wanted to figure out a way to use up the leftover almond pulp that I always get when I make homemade almond milk.
I've already shared how to turn leftover almond pulp into almond flour.
Now today, I'm sharing a recipe for Almond Pulp Brownie Bites that I know you guys are going to love!
Enjoy these little, healthy brownie bites with a cup of homemade almond milk for a delicious, healthy treat!
Let me show you how to make them!
What is Almond Pulp?
Almond pulp is the wet, almond mixture leftover from making Homemade Almond Milk.
To make Homemade Almond Milk you basically blend soaked almonds with water until a creamy, non-dairy milk forms.
Then you have to strain the milk through a Nut Milk Bag or Fine Mesh Strainer to remove the thicker almond milk pulp and leave you with really smooth, creamy Homemade Almond Milk.
What's leftover after straining the almond milk is almond pulp!
How Should I Store Almond Pulp?
If you plan to repurpose the leftover almond pulp, you can store it in a sealed container or bag in the fridge for about a week.
If you want to use it eventually, but don't think you'll use it within a week's time, you can freeze it in a sealed bag or container until needed.
To thaw the frozen almond pulp, just relocated it to the fridge until softened or you can probably set it in water to thaw quicker if needed.
What Do You Do with Almond Pulp?
Almond pulp can be used in so many different ways!
You can keep it as is and add it to smoothies or oatmeal for some added nutrition.
You can dehydrate almond pulp in your oven or a dehydrator and then blend it to make almond flour.
You can use it in a variety of different recipes (which I'll share below) and turn it into granola, hummus, crackers, granola bars, brownies, fudge etc.!
Of course you can also make these Almond Pulp Brownie Bites!
How Can I Dry Almond Pulp and Turn it into Almond Flour?
Wet almond pulp can be harder to work with due to it's high moisture content, so a lot of people like to dehydrate it, either in an oven or a dehydrator, and then blend it into almond flour.
Then, the almond flour can be used for baking!
OVEN: To dry out almond pulp using an oven, set your oven temperature to the lowest setting (170℉-210℉) and spread the almond pulp onto a parchment paper (or silicone baking mat) lined baking tray.
Next bake the almond pulp for an hour or two or until completely dry.
Then take the dried almond pulp and blend it in a blender or food processor until a fine flour forms.
DEHYDRATOR: To use a dehydrator, spread the almond pulp onto a teflex sheet and dehydrate it at 115℉ for 4-8 hours or until completely dry.
Then blend it into flour using a blender or food processor.
How to Make Almond Pulp Brownie Bites
Step 1: Place the almond pulp and the soft, sticky dates into a blender or food processor and process until a fairly smooth batter forms. I used my Vitamix and kept the speed on a lower setting while using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.
Step 2: Once a paste forms (see photo), pour the paste into a bowl and add in the remaining ingredients.
Step 3: Stir everything together until a chocolatey dough forms.
Step 4: Roll the dough into balls and, if desired, roll the balls into extra shredded coconut or cacao powder.
Step 5: Place the balls in an airtight container in the freezer.
Step 6: Enjoy straight from the freezer!
Storage
The dough for these brownie bites is pretty soft, so I recommend storing them in the freezer!
Even though they're in the freezer, they don't become rock hard, so you can eat them straight from the freezer and they are the perfect consistency!
