Keto Tahini Chocolate Chip Bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 – 4 Tablespoons powdered Lakanto (or low-glycemic sweetener of choice)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together tahini, vanilla, Lakanto, salt, and collagens powder. Stir in almond flour and fold in chocolate chips.
- Taste to see if more sweetener is needed. If dough is too thick, add in coconut oil 1 teaspoon at a time. If too thick, add in additional almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Once dough is to your liking, measure out around 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place in storage container lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Store bites in refrigerator or freezer and enjoy as desired.
