Next, in a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Once your wet ingredients are combined smoothly, gradually pour them into your dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. If you’re using sugar-free chocolate chips, fold them in gently now—these little morsels of goodness will give your bites an extra touch of indulgence!
Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I can’t tell you how wonderful my kitchen smells right now; it’s pure bliss! After they’re done baking, let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once they’re cool, it’s time to cut them into bite-sized pieces. I usually aim for about 16 bites, but you can adjust the size according to your preference. These Keto Texas Sheet Cake Bites are ready to enjoy, and I can hardly wait to take that first delightful bite!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I tested this recipe three ways: once with more cocoa, once with less, and once as is. I found that the original balance gave the best flavor while still allowing the sweetness to shine through. If you’re a true chocolate lover, though, feel free to experiment with a tablespoon or two more of cocoa powder for a richer taste!
Also, consider letting the bites sit for a bit before devouring them. They actually taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together beautifully. I usually make a batch on Sunday and enjoy them throughout the week—if they last that long!
Lastly, if you’re looking to make these bites extra special, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving. The combination of salty and sweet in these bites is absolutely divine!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake I made on my first try was not properly measuring the almond flour. It can easily be packed down in the measuring cup, which can lead to a denser texture. Make sure you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accuracy.
Another slip-up was overbaking the bites! I recommend checking them a few minutes before the recommended baking time is up; ovens can vary, and no one wants dry cake bites. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs for the perfect texture.
Also, don’t skip the cooling step after baking. It’s so tempting to dive right in, but allowing your bites to cool completely helps them set up properly, making them easier to cut. Trust me; your patience will be rewarded! (See the next page below to continue…)
