Keto Almond Butter Balls
Description
This recipe blends almond butter with almond flour and keto-friendly sweeteners such as stevia drops and sugar-free syrup, forming a dough that can be rolled into small balls. Adjusting the almond flour quantity helps achieve the right consistency for rolling without crumbling or squishing.
After shaping the balls, they are dipped in melted sugar-free chocolate, which sets to form a firm coating. Using 70% or 90% cocoa chocolate, or unsweetened varieties with added powdered sweetener, keeps the carb count low and the flavor rich. The resulting candy-like balls combine nutty almond flavor with a smooth chocolate outer layer.
These almond butter balls serve well as a grab-and-go keto snack or a sugar-free treat. Keeping portions small makes them easy to enjoy without overindulgence, fitting well into low-carb meal plans.
The variety of sweeteners allows customization of sweetness, while the notes suggest mixing sweeteners to reduce distinct aftertastes. Chocolate coating options also provide flexibility according to dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter 200g
- ½ cup almond flour 50-75g or more, depending on the thickness of your almond butter
- 8 drops stevia equivalent to 2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon syrup sugar free
- cinnamon optional, 1 teaspoon
- 2.3 oz chocolate 70g, alternatively chocolate with 90% cocoa solids or unsweetened chocolate, see notes, sugar free
Instructions
- Blend the almond butter with the sweeteners and 50g (½ cup) almond flour. Check consistency. If your almond butter is quite runny, as was mine, add another 25g (¼ cup). You are looking for a dough-like consistency that can be easily rolled into balls without being squishy or falling apart.
- Roll into balls weighing around 10-12g. I got 25 from my mix.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler.
- Using a spoon, coat each ball in chocolate. This adds about 2g to the weight of the praline. I melted an 70g chocolate bar, but ended up using only around 50g.
- Place the chocolate-covered pralines on a sheet covered with parchment paper and let them set in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Notes
- You can use any sweetener preference; mixing them helps avoid overpowering flavors common in sugar-free treats.
- If not using stevia drops or sugar-free syrup, erythritol can sweeten the mixture (3-4 tbsp depending on sweetness desired).
- For coating, sugar-free chocolate is recommended; alternatively, use 90% or unsweetened chocolate with added powdered sweetener.
- The recipe yields about 25 balls, each weighing around 10-12 grams with approximately 2 grams added weight from the chocolate coating.
