Keto Gingerbread Bites are a warm and cozy holiday snack. Anyone who enjoys festive flavors but wants to limit their carb intake will find it perfect. Achieve the traditional gingerbread flavor with each bite’s softness, chewiness, and spice from ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves without the added sugar. Prepare its base with almond flour & coconut flour, which gives them a rich, nutty texture without compromising their gluten-free and ketogenic status. Each bite is decadent yet guilt-free due to the subtle addition of butter and vanilla. We serve these Keto Gingerbread Bites on a Christmas platter, with keto hot chocolate, or with a cup of coffee.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour keeps the recipe minimal in carbohydrates while producing a delicate, nutty base. It mixes well with spices and adds a soft crumb to the bites.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour gives the bites structure and helps to absorbs moisture. The strong ginger flavor is counterbalanced by its inherent sweetness. A tiny bit is sufficient for texture.
GINGER:
- Ground ginger provides the sharp, spicy warmth that characterizes gingerbread flavor. It provides a consistent flavor by blending evenly into the dough.
CINNAMON:
- Crushed cinnamon adds the sweet warmth that pairs well with ginger. It gives the spice blend depth without being overbearing.
NUTMEG:
- Nutmeg powder adds a light spice and a hint of nuttiness. It intensifies the warmth of cinnamon and ginger.
CLOVES:
- The powerful, fragrant aroma of ground cloves enhances the flavor of the gingerbread. They give it depth and a festive feel.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder keeps the bites moist and not overly dense by gently raising them. It guarantees that the dough remains light.
SALT:
- Salt sharpens the spices and balances the sweetness of the keto sweetener. It keeps the taste from being bland.
BUTTER:
- Butter gives the bites moisture and richness, which makes them tasty and tender. It aids in transporting the spices as well.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol or monk fruit are two keto sweeteners, which we can use in place of sugar while lowering carbohydrates.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla extract adds a subtle sweetness to balance the spiciness. It improves the balance of flavors overall.
EGGS:
- The egg helps the bites maintain their shape by binding the components together. It gives the texture more wetness and lightness.
