Low Sugar Frozen Chocolate Almond Butter Bites

July 25, 2022 by Heather Smoke Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These frozen chocolate almond bites are low in sugar, with a creamy chocolate almond butter filling that’s lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup. And if you like, you can even use peanut butter or any other nut butter instead of the almond butter. When you want a quick and easy chocolate treat that isn’t too sweet, these are wonderful to keep on hand in the freezer.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Quick and Easy. You only need 5 ingredients and a couple of minutes to make these. Then just pop them in the freezer for a few hours!

Versatile. Instead of almond butter, try peanut butter, cashew butter or sun butter! And instead of maple syrup, you can use honey, agave syrup, or even a little stevia to sweeten the chocolate.

See the recipe card at the end of the post for the full ingredients list and instructions.

Ingredients

  • Coconut Oil. Use a virgin coconut oil that’s solid at room temperature, not a liquid cooking coconut oil.
  • Salt. Enhances the flavor of the almond butter. Note that if your nut butter is already salted, though, you should not add additional salt.
  • Maple Syrup. Sweetens the cocoa powder, which is pretty bitter without any added sweetener.
  • Almond Butter. Preferably, use a creamy all natural almond butter or other nut butter.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. I like to use Dutch-processed cocoa powder, but you can also use a natural cocoa powder.
