Best Chunky Chocolate Chip Bites

(Happen to be GF/ Vegan / Keto Friendly)

These chocolate chip bites are so popular among my family and friends. Even if you don't require special diet, you are going to love these!

Makes 20-22 bites

Maple syrup 2 tablespoons

Coconut oil 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons)

Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

Monk fruit sweetener (or stevia equivalent)* 2 tablespoons

Oat milk (or other “milk” product) ** 1 tablespoon

Almond flour 2 cups(160g)

Unsweetened shredded coconut 1/2 cup (80g)

Salt 1/2 teaspoon

Baking soda 1/4 teaspoon

Chocolate chips*** (roughly chopped) 1/2 cup (75g)

Pecan nuts (roughly chopped) 1/2 cup (72g)

1. Preheat oven to 350° (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the first 5 ingredients (from maple syrup to oat milk) to make a pasty mix.

3. Mix in the rest of ingredients.

4. Scoop a spoonful of batter on to a palm of your hand and make a ball. Place it onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process to make 20 to 22 balls.

5. Bake for 15 minuets. Once out of the oven, rest them on a rack until completely cooled.

*You may substitute with brown sugar for non Keto version.

** Unsweetened almond milk, soy milk or rice milk also works; you can use regular milk for non Vegan bites.

*** For vegan, use vegan chocolate chips. I also recommend dark chocolate with high cacao content.
