Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (erythritol or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener for filling
  • 1 egg for egg wash (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, egg, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Shape the Bites: Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into circles on the baking sheet. Use your thumb or a spoon to create a small well in the center of each circle.
  6. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with sweetener until smooth. Spoon the filling into the wells of the dough circles.
  7. Egg Wash (Optional): If desired, brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
