These low carb energy bites are buttery, sweet, a little salty, and hard to eat just one. Luckily they are only 2 net carbs per serving!
One of my favorite cookies in the whole world are the Danish butter cookies. You know the ones…they magically appear around Christmas time in that blue tin. Its is definitely hard to eat just one. In fact, I usually eat several because I am a self proclaimed cookie monster!
Since cookies are my weakness, I set out to make a copycat bite that will tide me over through the holidays. I think I have succeeded! These low carb energy bites are so reminiscent of those infamous cookies, and they are so easy to make!
I know that most people associate an energy bite with being high in protein, but when you are on a low carb diet, you are getting your energy from fat and we try to keep our protein moderate. These low carb energy bites are the perfect energy source for a low carb diet as most of the calories are from fat.
See how easy these are to make in this video:
I have been getting so much feedback from this recipe. Everyone loves it! People are adding lemon, coconut, cinnamon…the possibilities are endless! These really are a blank canvas so experiment and let me know how you customized them!
I hope you love these Low Carb Energy Bites! Check out these low carb chocolate chip cookies that my kid proclaimed “the best he had ever had!”

Did I miss it? How many balls make up a serving? Thanks
It makes 8 bites and 1 bite per serving
You don’t even have to cook them? Or did I miss something?
Nope!
How is it 2 net carbs per serving? The nutritional information guide has 3.1 carbs and 2.6 sugars? Otherwise would love to try the recipe!
What can I use to replace the sweetener with? I live in a country where it isn’t available:-(
You could probably use 1/4 tsp of liquid stevia (or more to taste). You could also use granular stevia. I do not use granular stevia much so I am not sure on the amounts.
I added four drops of lemon essential oil. It was really good.
Sounds yummy!
Hello, what is almond meal?
Thank you.
Hi Margaret! There is a link to almond flour (meal) above the recipe under “My Amazon Picks”
My husband and I loved it! Thanks!
Wow yum! I added a pinch of cinnamon to mine, will definitely be making these again! Might even try leaving out the sweetener, mix in a little mozzarella & Italian seasoning to serve with dinner! Thanks!
I just made these and they are delicious! I added a little sugar free brown sugar syrup and they taste just like sugar cookie dough! I’m going to try them with sugar free chocolate chips next…
That sounds really delicious! Thanks for sharing!
YES! Omg, these hit the spot and keep me from eating something terrible! Brilliant and so simple.
I’m so glad you liked them!
Do you use confectioners or granular Swerve?
I use granular
Thanks! I just made a batch and they are chilling 🙂
If you want to bake them, what temperature in oven should it be? I do not care for cookie dough.
I think if you want to bake them, you should mix up according to my chocolate chip cookie recipe but leave out the chocolate chips. https://jenniferbanz.com/healthy-chocolate-chip-cookies
Omgosh, these are so good and just what I was looking for. Yummy and easy Thank you for the recipe! <3
That is so great to hear!
Can you use Splenda?
Splenda should work but I am not sure on the amount.
