Yes, I know, it’s not even Autumn yet, but like it or not we’re heading towards the festive season and it will arrive before you know it. So why not save this recipe idea and impress your guests or hosts with practically zero effort.
How to Make Sugar Free Orange Amaretti BonBons
One bowl and an electric whisk are all the tools you need.
Egg whites (up to 3 days old), fine almond flour, coconut flour, and sweeteners are essential. You can either stick with orange flavouring, swap it for something else, or omit it altogether.
The sugar-free sprinkles are also optional, but they do prettify the bonbons and make them more appealing. A dusting of icing ‘sugar’ or cocoa powder would be just fine if sprinkles aren’t your thing or you cannot get sugar-free ones.
The ridiculously easy method: whip up your egg whites, add extract and whip again for another 3-4 seconds. Tip in sweeteners and flours and mix with a fork. Knead and shape into a log. Divide the log into 16 small sections, then roll each one into a ball and coat with sprinkles. Bake and let cool.
These yummy bonbons will last for up to 1 week if wrapped in cling film and refrigerated (to stop them drying). So whatever occasion you’re planning, you can get these done and out of the way until you need them. And remember… less than 1g carbs for 3 of them!
Enjoy!

Antya!!! It’s been so long, but so glad you’re still making incredible recipes! I made this, and majorly forgot or didn’t have specific ingredients, but made it anyway. I didn’t have almond flour, so I just used coconut, and totally forgot the gelatin, and used almond flavoring instead of orange. But, hey, almond is just as good.
So, these were soooo delicious, I can’t wait to make the proper batch!
Ever since you’re incredible Yorkshire Pudding, I can trust no matter what you make will be fabulous!
Hugs!
Hiiiiii!!!!! I haven’t forgotten you. Where have you been???
Yes, still creating and posting my concoctions, although I don’t know how long I’ll continue, because the cost of running this site has increased way too much, while affiliation payments only give me a tiny little buffer.
We’ll see… For now, enjoy my recipes, even if you change all the ingredients…lol
Hugs right back at you. x
