Delightful low-carb Keto Gingerbread Butter Cloud Bites perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sugar-free maple syrup, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. If desired, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips for added flavor.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Keto Gingerbread Butter Cloud Bites as a delightful low-carb treat!
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, increase the amount of ginger or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Substitute the almond flour with coconut flour, but use only 1/3 cup as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
