    • Gluten Free Cake Pops

    Why This Recipe Works

    • This recipe is so simple to make and it can be made in less than 20 minutes!
    • This recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, grain free, soy free, egg free, vegan and paleo friendly.
    • You can make this recipe ahead of time and freeze it so you have treats ready to go at all times.
    • This recipe is no bake which means it does not require you to even turn your oven on!

    • This recipe was inspired by another no bake recipe on my website. If you love these cake pops, you will love my No Bake Cookie Dough Bites.

    Ingredients

    Cake pop ingredients laid out in small glass bowls on the counter top.
    • Almond flour-This is the base for the cake pops. I do not suggest switching out the flours because not all gluten free flours are created equally. I like the Costco brand of almond flour.
    • Maple syrup-This sweetens these cakes pops and also holds everything together!
    • Chocolate chips-I am dairy free so I prefer dairy free chocolate but any kind of chocolate will work. I love the Hu brand for dairy free chocolate chips.
    • Vanilla-For flavor.
    • Coconut oil-The coconut oil should be melted. This is what helps bind the ingredients together.
    • Sea salt-For taste.

    A complete list of ingredients and measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

    Recipe Substitutions And Variations

    • Chocolate-This recipe can also be made with white chocolate.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Step 3: Add the chocolate chips to a small glass bowl that is microwave safe. Add the bowl to the microwave for 30 seconds, then mix. Add the bowl back into the microwave for 30 seconds and mix again. Then, add it to the microwave one last time and mix until smooth.

    Equipment Needed

    • Microwave friendly glass bowl.
    • Silicone spatula.
    • Cookie cake pop sticks.
    • Baking sheet.
    • 1.5 inch cookie scoop.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: You must continuously stir the chocolate when you put it in the microwave or it will burn! I suggest only microwaving it in 30 minute increments.
    • Tip #2: If you chose to wrap your cake pops, make sure the chocolate has hardened in the fridge or the freezer prior to wrapping them.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I prevent burning melted chocolate?

    The key to prevent the chocolate from burning is by heating it slowly and whisking it throughout the process.

    Can I make these cake pops with vanilla chocolate?

    Yes! Absolutely.

    How can I prevent the chocolate from smearing?

    You can allow the chocolate covering on the cake pops to harden fully in the fridge prior to wrapping the pops.

    Storage Instructions

    • This recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Be sure to store them upright in some sort of cup so the chocolate does not get messy.
    • You can also store this recipe in the freezer for up to 1 month. You can store them laying down in the freezer because the chocolate will harden when frozen.
