This is just a quick post for you today. Recently I’ve been making and playing around with sunflower seed butter and pumpkin seed butter. I really, really love it. So I was looking for something sweet I could have after dinner and came up with this simple keto snack recipe of toasted coconut pumpkin seed balls.

I just love them and thought you all might like them too. They only have 4 ingredients, take a few minutes to make and have 0.8g net carbs per ball.

Keto Pumpkin Seed Balls Ingredients

As I mentioned above there are only 4 ingredients in this recipe. I used roasted pumpkin seeds that I get from Aldi, unsweetened coconut, butter and Swerve brown sugar. You might be able to get unsweetened, shredded coconut and Swerve brown sugar at a larger grocery store but if not you can get them here on Amazon or Vitacost.com is another place I love online.

Pumpkin Seed Balls Recipe

The first thing you do is toast the coconut. Take out a small skillet and pour the shredded coconut in. Toast until it starts to brown and then take it off of the stove. Pour onto a paper towel to prevent it from continuing to cook.  Once cooled place into a small bowl.

Next add the roasted pepitas or pumpkin seeds to a food processor. I love this mini food processor for jobs like this one. Pulse and grind until you get the seeds to be a sticky ground mixture. Add in the Swerve brown sugar and pulse to mix.

Next you want to add in the cold butter and mix until it looks like the dough below. Use a tablespoon or small scoop to take some of the mixture out of the food processor and drop it in to the toasted coconut.

Roll it around to make a ball and then place it on a plate. Continue to do this with all of the mixture and then place the plate in the freezer for an hour.

Store either in the freezer or refrigerator. If they seem too hard when you take them out of the freezer, just let them sit out for a few minutes and they should be fine. Most likely they will be soft enough though.

I hope you like these low carb toasted coconut pumpkin seed treats as much as I do. I also make these with sunflower seeds and toasted sesame seeds instead of coconut. The nutritional information for 1 ball is:

75 cals / 6g fat / 1.6g carbs / 0.8g fiber / 3.7g protein = 0.8g net carbs
