Cookie Dough No-Bake Bites Ingredients
You only need 4 ingredients to make these keto cookie dough bites!
- Almond flour- I used blanched almond flour. Regular almond flour can be used, but it will be darker in color.
- Keto Maple Syrup- Zero carbs and zero sugar liquid sweetener, keto maple syrup provides sweetness and helps hold the balls together.
- Coconut Oil- Coconut oil helps hold the cookie dough bites together.
- Chocolate Chips of choice- Use either stevia-sweetened chocolate chips or a zero sugar chocolate bar, chopped into pieces. You can also add some homemade keto chocolate.
- Salt– Add a pinch of salt to bring out the true cookie dough flavor.
How to make chocolate chip cookie dough bites
You only need to follow a 3-step process to make these healthy chocolate chip cookie dough bites.
Step 1- In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, heat up your coconut oil with your keto maple syrup until warm. Whisk together until combined.
Step 2- Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add your almond flour and salt and mix well, until a thick, crumbly texture remains. Fold through your chocolate chips.
Step 3- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 20-30 small balls of cookie dough and place on a large plate, covered in parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm.
Tips and tricks for the BEST no-bake cookie dough bites
- If your batter is too thin, add some extra almond flour to thicken. If the batter is too crumbly and difficult to form into balls, add a dash of coconut or almond milk to it.
- To form uniform balls, lightly wet your hands and form into balls yourself.
- Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to roll the balls in, to ensure each one is full of chocolate chips.
