These Keto Snickerdoodle Truffles are a sugar-free, low-carb, dairy-free, no bake treat made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry—like nut butter, protein powder, monk fruit sweetener, and warm spices. They’re the perfect balance of cinnamon-sugar flavor and creamy texture, coated in rich melted chocolate. Whether you’re following a keto, paleo, or sugar-free lifestyle, these scrumptious little bites fit right in.
Quick Easy Paleo Snickerdoodles
I’ve been making no bake recipes for years because, honestly, I prefer cooking to baking. I don’t always have a lot of time for fancy desserts or complicated steps like using a double boiler or oven-proof skillet.
Quick desserts are my favorite kind of desserts. That’s why a no bake truffle like these are such a lifesaver—they look impressive, taste indulgent, and yet take less than 10 minutes of actual prep time.
Why These Fit Into a Low Carb Lifestyle
Each truffle has just 1g net carbs, making them an ideal low-carb dessert or snack. They’re naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and free of refined sugar.
Thanks to the balance of protein powder, healthy fats from nut butter, and low-carb sweetener, these truffles help balance blood sugar while satisfying your sweet tooth. Full nutritional information is located at the bottom of this page on the full printable recipe card.
As a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I designed this recipe to provide not just flavor but also function. Instead of spiking your blood sugar like traditional cookies or candy, these truffles help keep energy steady.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what goes into these keto snickerdoodles:
- Nut Butter – I used macadamia nut butter, but almond butter, sunflower butter, or another seed butter works too.
- Protein Powder – I prefer vanilla protein powder for sweetness and structure, but you can substitute with fine almond flour or even coconut flour. If skipping protein powder, just add a little extra vanilla extract.
- Low Carb Sweetener – My favorite is Monk Fruit Allulose Brown Sugar Substitute, but any low-carb sweetener works.
- Flavor Boosters – Maple extract, vanilla extract, and cinnamon liquid stevia really give these truffles that nostalgic snickerdoodle taste.
- Cinnamon Sugar Mixture – Classic snickerdoodles always have that cozy cinnamon sugar coating. We recreate it here with a mix of cinnamon and a keto-friendly sweetener.
- Chocolate Chips – I use sugar-free chocolate chips for the coating. Dark chocolate or white chocolate also works. Melt them in a microwave-safe glass bowl or double boiler.
Optional mix-ins: a spoonful of coconut oil for smoother chocolate coating, or a sprinkle of protein powder in the coating for a thicker shell.
Variations and Substitutions
These truffles are versatile and can easily be adjusted to your needs:
- Nut-Free – Use sunflower seed butter or coconut butter instead of almond butter.
- Dairy-Free – Stick with coconut oil, coconut flour, and dairy-free protein powder.
- Flavor Swaps – Add warm spices like nutmeg or pumpkin spice for seasonal flavor.
- Different Coatings – Use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture instead of dipping.
- Extra Protein – Boost with more protein powder or collagen powder.
Tips for Perfect Keto Snickerdoodle Truffles
Store Properly – In an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Room Temperature Ingredients – Makes it easier to mix.
Use a Cookie Scoop – Ensures even portions and a prettier end result.
Chill Before Coating – If your dough feels too soft, chill the truffles for 10 minutes before dipping.
