Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Bites - gluten-free, vegan, keto
Description
The recipe uses almond butter combined with coconut flour, coconut milk, low-carb sweetener, stevia extract, vanilla, cinnamon, and optional salt to create a dough that holds its shape when rolled. After mixing, the dough is rolled into small balls and coated in a topping of cinnamon mixed with sweetener. The cinnamon adds the characteristic snickerdoodle spice, complementing the sweet and nutty base.
This no-bake preparation avoids traditional baking by focusing on mixing and rolling, saving time while providing a satisfying texture reminiscent of cookie dough. The use of coconut flour and almond butter provides a gluten-free and vegan base with healthy fats.
The bites can be refrigerated to firm up and stored for convenient snacking. The flavor and texture make them suitable for those following low-carb or keto dietary plans, with flexibility to adjust sweetener types or substitute coconut butter for almond butter for an AIP-friendly version provided in the notes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter (use coconut butter for AIP - see above notes)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk (or alternative dairy-free milk)
- 3 tablespoons low-carb sweetener
- 15 drops Stevia extract see Homemade Liquid Stevia; see Recipe Notes for substitutes; if desired, sub 2 tablespoons low carb sweetener instead, vanilla, liquid
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional but really adds a lot!)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons low-carb sweetener
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Put all ingredients, except the topping ingredients, into a bowl.
- Mix well until combined thoroughly.
- Roll into balls and roll to coat in the topping.
- Store in refrigerator.
Notes
- Add more coconut flour by half tablespoon increments if the dough is too soft to roll into balls.
- Use erythritol instead of xylitol for a sweeter low-carb option with fewer net carbs.
- For AIP adaptation, replace almond butter with coconut butter and use organic coconut sugar instead of sweeteners; add vanilla extract as coconut sugar lacks vanilla flavor.
- Homemade coconut milk or any other dairy-free milk alternative can be used as preferred.
- For those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this recipe qualifies as an "S" meal.
- Alternative sweeteners can be used equivalent to 5 tablespoons sugar if liquid stevia and low-carb sweetener are not desired.
