Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup Raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Getting Started

In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, almond flour, erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Adding Raspberries

Gently fold in the raspberries. Be careful not to crush them too much, as you want to retain their shape and texture within the bites.

Forming the Bites

Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a bite-sized ball. Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chilling

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up. This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from crumbling.

Serving

Once chilled, the Keto Raspberry Coconut Bites are ready to serve. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

Remember to adjust sweetener to your taste. Also, be mindful of berry portion sizes when following a ketogenic diet. This recipe contains a moderate amount of raspberries, which are relatively low in carbs compared to other fruits, but still need to be accounted for in your daily carbohydrate intake. If you're new to keto, start with a smaller portion size to see how your body reacts. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.
