Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, combine the applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, roll the dough into small balls (roughly 1 inch) and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown on the bottoms and slightly firm to the touch.
Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

These values assume 1/4 cup coconut sugar as the sweetener; using a calorie-free sweetener like monk fruit will significantly reduce the carbohydrate and sugar totals. For personalized dietary advice, consult a registered dietitian or trusted sources like the Mayo Clinic.
