[HighKey's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolaty-stix) newest creation takes the form of birthday cake bites that are low in sugar and keto-friendly, as well as gluten-free and grain-free. Perfect for everyday snacking and celebrating, the low-sugar mini bites are soft-baked and ready to eat. The [low-carb muffin bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-bites-mini-muffins) are made with almond flour and they contain less than a gram of sugar, four grams of protein and just two grams of net carbs per serving.

Free from artificial colors and flavors, the birthday cake bites appeal to ingredient-conscious consumers who want to enjoy a better-for-you take on a favorite food without excess carbs and sugar. HighKey delivers indulgent and healthy free-from treats with a hint of sweetness not from sugar but other sources like erythritol, monk fruit, stevia and allulose.
