Keto Chocolate Pecan Balls
These delicious Keto pecan balls are packed with flavor and healthy fats - perfect for a daytime treat or on the go snack. Our low carb snack is prepared with pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, ground almonds, cocoa powder, almond butter, melted butter, and a little low carb sweetener. These treat sized bites are a great way to add a boost of Keto-friendly fats and sweetness to your day.
Can I Make These Dairy-Free?
These delicious Keto chocolate snacks are prepared with melted butter to add a boost of fats and to help the balls set in the fridge. If you are following a dairy-free diet, then you can easily swap the melted butter for melted coconut oil. Swap directly in the same quantities and use as directed. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Can I Use Different Nuts?
We have used ground almonds and chopped pecans for our low carb snack recipe. If desired, you may swap the pecans for an alternative Keto-friendly nut. Chopped macadamias or chopped hazelnuts would make a great substitution and would also complement the chocolate flavor.
