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.

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.

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.

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.

Gluten Free Cake Pops

Think of it as recycling … or upcycling or something environmentally friendly. They are so fun to take to parties or for portion control! And because the chocolate coating seals in the moist cake, your gluten free cake stays fresh much longer, too!

Place in preheated oven and bake about 70 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs and cake edges are lightly browned. Bake time depends, in part, on type of pan (dark metal, light metal, glass, stoneware); begin testing at 60 minutes to avoid over-baking.

Remove cake from oven. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes to 1 hour.Then remove cake from pan by running a butter knife around the edge of the pan and dropping cake into the palm of your hand. Carefully return cake to wire rack. Cut off browned edges and set aside for another use

Add confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice and milk and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in slightly more milk, if necessary, to achieve a spreadable consistency.

Gluten Free Cake Pop Recipe

Break soft interior of cake into small pieces in a large bowl. (There should be about 4 cups of cake crumbles.) Stir in 1 cup Lemon Buttercream Frosting and ¼ cup sprinkles until cake pieces stick together when squeezed. Do not add so much frosting that the mixture is wet or predominantly frosting; add just enough so mixture holds together into a ball when squeezed.

Form cake mixture into golf-ball size balls and dip stick into melted chocolate, then insert into the center of each ball without going all the way through.

To make egg shapes, press each ball into and around a colorful plastic spoon. The spoon helps shape “eggs” and is the stick for these cake pops.

Gently melt chocolate or candy melts in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove. One by one, dip balls into melted chocolate, swirl to cover and return them to prepared cookie sheets.

Alternatively, place covered balls in muffin cups so they stand upright. While chocolate coating is still warm, quickly decorate with sanding sugars, sprinkles, colored grated coconut or other frostings.
