Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp Sugar-free maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Creamy almond butter (~60g)
- 1 cup Super-fine almond flour (~100g)
- 1 tbsp Ground flaxseed (optional, for added fiber)
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips (~40g)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar-free maple syrup, vanilla extract, and creamy almond butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add the almond flour, ground flaxseed (if using), cinnamon, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir firmly with a spatula until a thick dough forms.
- Check the texture: The dough should hold together easily. If it feels too dry or crumbly, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra syrup. If it feels too sticky to handle, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra almond flour.
- Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Optional: Line a plate or small baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the bites from sticking while you roll them, Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
- Place the bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator to firm up before serving. Keep refrigerated.

- Storage: Always store these bites in the refrigerator to maintain texture and freshness; they will keep for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
