Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, pumpkin puree, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or electric mixer until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth, uniform dough.
- Ensure the mixture is at room temperature and has a consistent texture. If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes to help it firm up slightly.
- Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Use a light hand to prevent breaking the delicate chips.
- Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Roll each portion between your palms to create smooth, round shapes.
- Place the cookie dough bites on the prepared parchment-lined surface, leaving a small space between each bite.
- For best texture and flavor, refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and enhance the flavor profile.
- Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Almond Flour Texture: Sift your almond flour to prevent clumping and create a smoother mixture.
- Sweetener Selection: Choose a high-quality sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit for best taste.
- Chill for Perfection: Always refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
- Chocolate Chip Hack: Freeze sugar-free chocolate chips briefly before adding to prevent melting during mixing.
- Storage Wisdom: Keep these bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they'll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
- Make-Ahead Magic: These bites can be frozen for up to 2 weeks, making them a fantastic meal prep dessert option.
