This healthy cake pops recipe uses a combination of arrowroot powder and almond flour, so it’s naturally gluten-free. It’s a healthy recipe that kids love!
Whether you have kids at home or are a kid at heart, these cake pops make a fun snack. In fact, they are my favorite thing to serve at parties. Since you never know if someone might have a gluten intolerance or allergy, I like to make gluten-free desserts, just in case.
Not only are these cake pops naturally gluten-free, but they are pretty healthy too. If you have a sweet tooth, then these are the perfect thing for you. Almond flour and cream cheese both have lots of protein, so you can enjoy a cake pop – or two – guilt-free.

These cake pops are made completely from scratch. There aren’t any cake mixes or shortcuts here. The good news is that they are still super-easy to make. Here is what I used in my cake pops:
Always start by preheating your oven and preparing the cake pan with non-stick spray. This way, they will be ready when your batter is made.
To make the cake batter, combine the almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside and mix the wet ingredients – the eggs, meltedcoconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon juice – in a smaller bowl.
Best Healthy Cake Pops Recipes
Let the cake cool down for about 5 minutes, then scoop out the soft insides (and the top is okay to scoop out to) of the cake, leaving the hard brown outsides. You want the actual cake part. Leave the edges and save them for snacking.
Pour the soft cake crumbs you just made into a bowl and add the cream cheese. Use your hands to mix, it will be hot but the cream cheese should chill it enough to handle.
Dip the end of the cake pop stick into white chocolate and then into the cake ball. This helps hold the stick in place. Place the cake pops into the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
Healthy Cake Batter Balls
Melt chocolate and add food coloring to your preference. Take balls out of the freezer and coat completely in chocolate. Dip them into some sprinkles if desired.

This is the fun part of baking. There are lots of different flavors of cake pops you can make and lots of different ingredients you can mix into them. Here are a few of my favorite ingredients, but get in the kitchen and try a few out. I’d love to hear what you make.
No Bake Oreo Cake Pops
You can also use my paleo chocolate cake recipe to make chocolate cake pops. Just make the chocolate cake and then follow the instructions here for making the balls and covering them in melted chocolate.
It’s really easy to make this recipe keto-friendly. All you have to do is use sugar-free maple-syrup substitute and sugar-free white chocolate. Everything else in the recipe is already low-carb.
I have not tried to make it in a cake pop machine, so I’m not sure. In theory, it should work just fine. The only thing a cake pop machine does is bake the cake into balls. It cuts out the step of baking the cake and then making the balls afterwards.
Red Velvet Cake Balls
I prefer to do it all by hand because it is so fun to get my hands into the batter and mix it together. You can tell by all my dessert recipes how much I love to bake!
The best way to store leftover cake pops is in the refrigerator. That way, they won’t melt. Just place them in a container with a lid and they will stay fresh and edible for up to 2 weeks.

While this recipe is arguably healthier in terms of whole food ingredients and less processed sugars, I cannot deny that the Starbucks cake pops are pretty awesome! Starbucks cake pop flavors include birthday cake pop (vanilla cake pop), chocolate cake pop, lemon cake pop, valentine cake pop, frosted donut cake pop and chocolate chip cookie dough cake pop. Starbucks cake pop calories range from around 140-180 depending on the flavor.
To make the starbucks recipe, you will bake a cake (from scratch or using boxed cake mix) and crumble up the cake. You then mix it with a little bit of frosting, form into balls, insert cake pop sticks and coat in chocolate. Some recipes will use a cake pop maker to form the cake into balls and a cake pop stand to hold the pops upright.
Cake Pops (healthy + Easy No Bake)
You can use candy melts or chocolate baking chips. Ghirardelli white chocolate baking chips are a nice option as they are made with cocoa butter which provides for a nice melting texture. Wilton candy melts are also an excellent choice as this product is made specifically for dipping and coating desserts. If you are vegan, there are also vegan chocolate chip options available.
No. If you plan on making these on a regular basis, a cake pop stand is not a bad investment. However, you can definitely get away with using a sturdy box or a piece of Styrofoam. Make sure you pre-poke the holes and make sure cake pop sticks fit.
Blanched almond flour is a flour alternative is made from ground almonds. Blanches means that the almond skin has been removed from the nut. Anthony’s Premium Blanched Almond Flour is a good option. Trader Joe’s also sells an excellent blanched almond flour.
