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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy, then add vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 5
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 6
Gently shape each portion into clusters with your fingers, ensuring the edges are rounded and the candies are distributed throughout.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Store the low carb nerd clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
