Description
Delicious and healthy Holiday Hazelnut Choco-Crunch Bites perfect for a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hazelnuts, shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is evenly coated and forms a sticky dough.
- Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of almond extract to the mixture.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can toast the hazelnuts in the oven for about 5-7 minutes before chopping them.
