Crispy Crunchy Keto Pretzels
Love having a crunchy snack when everyone around at a gathering is eating the carby chips, crackers and pretzels. These are a perfect addition I will be bringing to many gatherings over the holiday season! The first part of this recipe is the liquid, just like a my keto soft pretzel recipe I used warm water, not above 110 degrees, to bloom the yeast. I've used active dry and rapid rise yeast and I've found there wasn't too much of a difference. To activate the yeast I use Inu

Low Carb/Keto Apple Fritters
A delicious soft, melt in your mouth keto fried fritter recipe with real apples! The batter is so low carb that we can have some yummy granny smith apples in this recipe and each fritter is only 2g net carbs! The first part of this recipe is your liquid of choice. I used a unsweetened low carb milk but you can also use a heavy cream/water mix. The 2 eggs and sweetener is the next step. I have tried just egg whites and just egg yolks and neither resulted in a fluffier donut te

Sugar Free/Keto Toffee
A recipe that has been so close for so long, I just needed to stop trying to make it exactly like a regular recipe. Finally got a delicious crunchy toffee that I made into a heath bar. Toffee is very simple, just butter and sugar so I started there but allulose is the only sweetener that cooks and caramelize and will not recrystallize when it cools but it can only handle so much butter. So unfortunately I couldn't use the same ratios as a regular toffee recipe that is normall

The taco shell is made with the pizzelle maker and draped over 2 wooden dowels about 1/2 inch across. These are the dowels I have for stacking cakes-...

I had pesto on hand since I had a basil plant and have been making pesto every few weeks and wanted a recipe I could you my ranch seasoning mix in that I always have on hand to make homemade ranch dressing. You can just use jarred pesto and a Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet but I try to avoid maltodextrin giving extra hidden carbs that are not accounted for on the

Low Carb Lemon Blueberry Bread
A delicious summer bread bursting with lemon tartness and sweet blueberries the perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee or summer brunch get together. The first ingredients in the recipe are fat and sweetener. I say fat cause I have made this recipe with avocado oil, coconut oil and softened butter and every recipe had came out beautifully. Avocado oil was my pick because it makes a more moist loaf. The sweetener I like to use in granular monkfruit/erythritol blend. Any

Keto/Low Carb Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Been meaning to figure out this recipe for awhile. It was one of the first flavored keto ice cream recipes I tried when I first started keto, the dreaded mason jar ice cream. I was so disappointed it spurred me on to find a better keto/low carb ice cream recipe. Keto Vanilla Ice Cream was the first video I ever shot in 2020, it has since been updated and reshot- https://youtu.be/YJGW4pS3M7M Allulose is my favorite sweetener to use to keep the keto ice cream soft even weeks af

Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones
I have created many different flavors of keto/low carb scones. But I have changed the recipe a bit as our keto ingredients can be frustrating and change over time. Plus I now have a keto/low carb and gluten free bakery so I have increased the recipe in order to cut the wet ingredients down so I don't have as much waste of the liquid ingredients. For this recipe I made the big batch and even cut it in half and made strawberry rhubarb scones and strawberry chocolate chip scones

Keto Snickers Ice Cream Bars
I have been meaning to figure out a keto Snickers ice cream bar for awhile. I thought it would be easy but of course there are many pitfalls when it comes to working with keto caramel. The easiest way I found to make them is in popsicle molds. I tried to get fancy and make them look exactly like snickers bars and you end up needing a lot of time to let them set after each step, otherwise you get a real mess. But first each element of the keto snickers ice cream bar. I used al

Gluten Free 1 Net Carb Protein Crackers-Almond Free
There are not many almond free crackers on the market and most recipes on line have almond flour in them. I wanted to create a cracker that was gluten free, almond free and not powdery or dusty tasting in the mouth and minimal graininess. I finally figured out a cracker that was perfectly crispy and delicious! I have recently discovered that not all keto ingredients are the same across different brands, so I stick with all the same brands as much as I can. Just about all of m

Keto Almond Joy Cake/Cupcakes
I love creating cakes for family, so every birthday is like a new fun challenge to make something different that the person will love. Added bonus that my extended family tries to eat a little healthier, less processed, sugar filled foods. They usually still have the other option at the gathering as well but I'm happy I can provide a better alternative to chose as well. So to make this cake which is a favorite candy of a few people in my family, I combined several keto/low ca

It took me over a month of constant testing until I finally got a great keto/low carb bagel with 16g of protein and only 1g net carbs! I tried to keep this recipe as simple as possible since I figured out the soft pretzel dough with very little ingredients, I was hoping to just use that recipe to make a bagel but boy was that impossible!
