Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free fruit-flavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup Sugar-free fruit-flavored hard candies, crushed
- 1 cup Unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol or other granulated sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar-free gelatin powder, crushed sugar-free candies, coconut flakes, and erythritol. Stir well until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy, then add vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Mix until fully combined.
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Gently shape each portion into clusters with your fingers, ensuring the edges are rounded and the candies are distributed throughout.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the low carb nerd clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
