Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or other keto-friendly milk)
- Optional toppings: unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in melted coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. If too dry, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time. If too wet, add almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Chill Dough: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat (Optional): If baking, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop and Roll: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into small balls.
- Place on Baking Sheet/Tray: Place balls on prepared baking sheet or tray.
- Optional: Flatten Slightly: Gently press down on each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until slightly firm.
- Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Add Toppings (Optional): While still slightly warm (if baked) or right after chilling (if no-bake), gently press desired toppings onto the surface of each bite.
- Chill Again (If Toppings Added): Place back in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow toppings to adhere.
- Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is crucial for easy handling.
- Adjust almond milk/flour to achieve the right dough consistency.
- Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Experiment with different nut butters, spices, and toppings for variations.
- For chocolate-covered bites, melt sugar-free chocolate and dip the snack bites in it. Let the chocolate harden in the refrigerator for a decadent treat.
