Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make keto graduation cake pops:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 8 oz sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Assorted sugar-free sprinkles (for decoration)
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
Making the Cake Base
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla powder.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and almond milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cake cool completely, then crumble into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
Forming the Cake Pops
- Roll cake crumbs into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Insert lollipop sticks about halfway into each ball. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave (30-second intervals, stirring between).
- Dip each cake pop into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Decorate with sprinkles immediately.
- Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely (about 1 hour).
Tips and Tricks
- For extra moist cake pops, add 1-2 tbsp of cream cheese to the crumb mixture.
- If your cake pops are too crumbly, mix in 1-2 tsp of almond milk to help bind.
- Use different colored sprinkles to match school colors for a personalized touch.
