Why You’ll Love It

  • Fast. Not including the chill time, you can make these tasty cookie dough bites in under 30 minutes.
  • No Cook. Unlike some other cookie dough bite recipes, you do not need to heat-treat the flour that goes into this dough.
  • Low Carb . Only 2 net carbs per serving!
  • Gluten Free . Substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour makes this dessert recipe not only low carb and keto but also gluten-free.

Low carb cookie dough bites are the perfect balance of indulgence and health. They’re a quick, customizable, and guilt-free treat you’ll keep coming back to.

Traditionally, cookie dough is not safe to consume unbaked. Not only does it contain raw eggs, but it also contains raw flour that can contain high levels of bacteria if not heat-treated.

This recipe, however, uses almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Almond flour does not need to be heat-treated the same way all-purpose flour does, so you can make this low carb cookie dough bite recipe without ever turning on the oven. It also omits the eggs since they are not needed to help the cookie dough bites bind and rise.

A keto dessert recipe with only 6 ingredients? No, it’s not too good to be true. Make sure you grab these items before you get started:

  • Superfine Almond Flour - Using almond flour instead of all purpose flour in this recipe eliminates the need to heat-treat your flour for truly edible cookie dough.
  • Kosher Salt - There’s no more perfect pair than sweet and salty.
  • Butter - This should be at room temperature to make it easier to combine with the other ingredients. Do not melt the butter, or the batter will be too runny to form into balls.
  • Truvia - A low carb substitute for granulated or brown sugar that tastes just like the real thing!
  • vanilla extract - Enhances the other sweet flavors in the recipe.
  • Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips - You can buy Lily’s chocolate chips , or you can save a little money and make low carb chocolate chips at home.

If you can make cookies, you can make cookie dough bites! They take just a handful of simple steps and are almost impossible to mess up if you follow the instructions below:

  1. Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix softened butter, Truvia, and vanilla extract.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour and salt.
  3. Combine the dough. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Once the batter is combined, fold in the low carb chocolate chips.
  4. Portion cookie dough bites. Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to help you portion and create the balls.
  5. Chill and serve. Place the formed balls on parchment paper on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.

Tips And Tricks

Making low carb cookie dough bites is quick and easy, but a few tips and tricks will help you perfect the flavor and texture while keeping them healthy and satisfying:

  • Soften the butter . Room-temperature fats mix more smoothly and help create a creamy dough base.
  • Make your own sugar-free chocolate chips . Keep the bites indulgent while staying low-carb.
  • Chill before rolling . Refrigerating the dough for 20–30 minutes makes it easier to roll into neat, firm bites.

Variations

These cookie dough bites are perfect just the way they are, but sometimes it’s nice to mix up the flavors and textures of your fat bombs to keep them exciting.

Here are a few variations for you to try:

  • Add nuts. Mix some finely diced pecans or walnuts in the cookie dough bite batter for an added crunch.
  • Boost the chocolate. For an even bigger chocolate punch, add some keto-friendly dark cocoa powder before mixing up your batter.
  • Add peanut butter. Add a surprise middle to keto peanut butter bites by chilling small spoonfuls of peanut butter and stuffing them inside of the cookie dough balls when you roll them.

How Long Do They Last?

I don’t know about you, but having the right treats available when the craving for something sweet strikes has been one of my keys to success with maintaining a low carb way of eating. These keto cookie dough bites are the perfect snack to keep in the refrigerator for those exact moments.

When stored in an airtight container, you can expect this edible cookie dough to last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

If you’re wanting to double the recipe to freeze some for later, they also freeze and defrost extremely well.

When stored in a freezer-safe container, these cookie dough balls will last up to 3 months.

To defrost and enjoy, just place the frozen balls in your refrigerator until soft, or on your kitchen counter if you’re wanting your snack a little sooner. Just be warned that if you leave them out to defrost, the chocolate chips may become a little melty when you dig in.

Air fryer Korean Dae Ji Bulgogi or Pork Bulgogi is a wonderful way to get a savory, umami, spicy Korean grilled pork dish for an easy weeknight dinner. Wrap up the meat in lettuce leaves and enjoy a fabulous low carb keto dinner. - 8

Why You’re Going To Love This Air Fryer Recipe

  • Fast. Ready in under 30 minutes with the help of your air fryer.
  • Easy. Create the marinade, let the meat and onions soak, toss in the air fryer , and cook.
  • High Protein . This Pork Bulgogi has 15 grams of protein per serving.
  • Low Carb . A meal so good you won’t even realize it’s keto friendly. Only 9 net carbs per serving.

If you can marinade and prepare this Dae Ji Bulgogi the night before, this cooks in just 15 minutes! It’s the perfect way to have dinner ready quickly if you have a rushed night or are just too tired to cook.

How Is Dae Ji Bulgogi Different From Regular Bulgogi?

Dae Ji Bulgogi is very similar to regular bulgogi, but instead of using beef, you make this as pork bulgogi instead. Just like regular bulgogi, it too is made with gochujang, which is a Korean red pepper paste and is used in several of my recipes like my Keto Air Fryer Korean Chicken Wings . It has amazing flavor and you should pick it up if you see it in the store!

If you’d like to make this in the Instant Pot, here’s an Instant Pot Daeji Bulgogi recipe as well.

What Does Pork Bulgogi Taste Like?

Pork Bulgogi has a bold, savory-sweet flavor with a perfect balance of spice, smokiness, and umami.

The pork is tender and juicy, coated in a caramelized glaze made from gochujang, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. You’ll taste a mix of sweet heat from the chili paste, nuttiness from the sesame, and subtle depth from the ginger and onions.

The result is a rich, flavorful dish that’s slightly spicy, a little sweet, and irresistibly satisfying.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 pound Boneless Pork Shoulder - The main protein of the dish, pork shoulder is rich and flavorful with just enough fat to stay tender and juicy when marinated and air fried.
  • 1 Onion - Adds natural sweetness and moisture to the marinade, helping to tenderize the pork while balancing the savory and spicy flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Ginger - Brings a warm, slightly spicy note that cuts through the richness of the pork and enhances the depth of flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic - Adds aromatic, savory flavor that forms the backbone of the bulgogi seasoning, complementing the ginger and soy sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce – Provides umami and saltiness, serving as the savory base of the marinade. It also helps deepen the overall flavor of the pork.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Wine - Helps tenderize the meat while adding a subtle sweetness and depth that rounds out the marinade.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil - Contributes a rich, nutty aroma and flavor that’s essential in Korean cooking, adding warmth and complexity.
  • 2 tablespoons Splenda - Balances the heat and salt with a touch of sweetness while keeping the recipe low-carb. You can substitute sugar if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang - A key Korean chili paste that provides spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavor. It coats the pork beautifully and creates that signature bulgogi glaze.
  • 1 teaspoon Gochugaru - Korean red chili flakes that add a touch of smokiness and adjustable heat, enhancing the color and depth of the dish.
  • 1/4 cup Water - Helps dissolve the marinade ingredients evenly and ensures the pork cooks up juicy and flavorful rather than dry.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt - Balances all the flavors and enhances the natural savoriness of the pork and seasonings.

Tips And Tricks

Making Air Fryer Pork Bulgogi is a quick and flavorful way to enjoy the classic Korean dish with crispy edges and juicy, caramelized meat. Here are some helpful tips and tricks to get perfect results every time:

  • If you do not eat pork, use beef sirloin or chicken thighs.
  • There is no substitute for gochujang in this recipe. If you buy it, I have several gochujang recipes that use this tasty goodness. It keeps well for months in the refrigerator.
  • If you are GF, use this brand of GF gojuchang , as some varieties do contain wheat.
  • You can sub 1 tablespoon of agave nectar or honey for the Splenda if you prefer more natural sweeteners.

Variations

Air Fryer Pork Bulgogi is a wonderfully versatile dish that can be customized to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs. Here are some delicious variations to try:

  • Vegetable Bulgogi - Mix in sliced mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers to make it a complete one-pan air fryer meal.
  • Beef or Chicken Swap - Substitute thinly sliced beef ribeye or chicken thighs for pork to create different versions with the same flavorful marinade.
  • Tofu Bulgogi - For a vegetarian twist, use extra-firm tofu, press it dry, and marinate it the same way before air frying until crisp on the edges.

What To Eat With Pork Bulgogi

While this recipe is astonishingly flavorful and filling on its own, you may find yourself wanting a little something else to go with it, or a carb-rich side dish to serve your family or friends that do not share the same dietary lifestyle as you do.

If you’re looking for ideas to serve alongside this Pork Bulgogi, here are some of my favorites:

  • Instant Pot Rice
  • Korean Cucumber Salad
  • Gamja jorim
  • Kimchee

How Long Does It Last?

I can’t say that I’ve ever had any leftover pork bulgogi. It is so flavorful and utterly addictive. If you have a little more self-control than we do, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it should stay just as tasty as the day you made it for 3-4 days.

Can You Freeze It?

Yes, you can freeze Air Fryer Pork Bulgogi, and it freezes quite well. To do so, let the cooked pork cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or freezer-safe resealable bag.

You can freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw the bulgogi overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat it in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through, or warm it in a skillet over medium heat.
