Ingredients You’ll Need

8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 large egg
¾ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt

Cinnamon Coating

2 tbsp powdered erythritol
½ tsp cinnamon

Optional Toppings

Sugar-free cream cheese glaze
Chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and sweetener until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and egg. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. The dough should be soft but thick enough to scoop. If it’s too sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes.

Step 4: Shape the Bites

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form bite-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Add the Cinnamon Coating

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and erythritol. Roll each dough ball lightly in the mixture to coat before baking.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the bites are golden on the edges and slightly firm to the touch. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving—they’ll firm up as they cool.

Step 7: Optional Drizzle

For extra decadence, drizzle with a sugar-free cream cheese glaze made from softened cream cheese, a touch of sweetener, and a splash of almond milk.

Tips for Perfect Keto Bites

Soften the cream cheese and butter fully before mixing—this ensures a smooth texture.
Don’t overbake! They’re meant to be soft and creamy inside.
Want them crispier? Air fry at 325°F for 7–8 minutes.
Add a crunch: Roll in crushed nuts before baking for a fun texture twist.
