Keto Mini Glazed Donut Muffins

2 Comments

They remind me of a very moist cake donut hole, a sort of donut popper!

The hint of spice gives it a distinctive flavor that mimics a donut shops little secret ingredient! I have also included an additional secret ingredient with a box of Simply Delish Natural’s Keto Vanilla Pudding!

I paired mine with a cuppa coffee in my new glass double walled mug with convienient wood spill proof top to keep it warm longer!!

You will also need a mini muffin pan as these would possibly take longer as regular muffins. If you do use a regular muffin tin only fill halfway so they do not burn before getting done in the middle!

Keto Chocolate Dipped Cookies with peppermint candies🍭

Leave a comment

I had to make something different with this Key Nutrients MCT Cocoa I tried! I came up with this crispy cookie and it did not disappoint!

I was thrilled that it has a nice crumb and slightly chewy texture! It is the right amount of crispy so you can use it as a copycat oreo crumb in any recipe!

I am also overjoyed at the effective way that I am able to get in some healthy MCT oils into my treats with this cocoa powder from Key Nutrients! Not only did it give it a rich flavor but offers healthy fats available for immediate use in the body for energy!

You can also make hot chocolate with it by adding warm milk! It is already sweetened with monkfruit so no need for sweetener! Order some today and make some of these cookies or make hot cocoa or even add to coffee for a quick mocha!

Keto Key Lime Pound Cake

Leave a comment

When I think of pound cake I think of butter and butter and more butter! I know the original pound cake is 1 pound of everything, butter, sugar, flour. This one I have made is not only #keto but also #lowcarb and #gluten free!

The best thing about this cake is that it is just the right amount of sweetness so you can enjoy it as a snack or even a treat with your coffee in the morning! It is all kept keto with a box of Simply Delish Lime Jel!

You will be pleasantly surprised how the Simply Delish Lime Jel adds so much lime flavor to this bread and also lends a moisture to it that helps it keep together and not fall apart!

Little Melissa’s Fudge Brownies

I did a great job capturing my favorite fudgy brownie from my childhood in the 80s that was under the name Lil’ Debbie.

This one is low carb, keto, gluten free, sugar free and AMAZING! The only hard part is waiting for them to set overnight in the fridge!

Sticking with ChocZero sugar free chips is best as the others I have tried do not melt as well. It is up to you, but visit the notes below the recipe for links to my favorite brands that I used to get the best results like me.

CanDo’s mission is to inspire and empower everyone to live a healthier lifestyle every day!

Adam Bremen, Founder of CanDo – maker of Keto Krisp protein bars says,

 “I was born with Cerebral Palsy and have used an electric wheelchair to move around my entire life. From an early age, my parents instilled in me that life is about what I CAN DO, not what I can’t do.”

“At 42, I was overweight and needed to make a change. I transitioned to a keto-based diet and began exercising daily. I lost 65lbs! During my weight loss journey, I couldn’t find an on-the-go snack that tasted good. So, I created Keto Krisp, the perfect combination of a protein bar with an unrivaled taste and premium nutritional ingredients.”

” Today, we at CanDo invite you to join the tribe, whether Keto or not, and embody the CanDo spirit!”

Low Carb Pumpkin Crunch Muffins

Pumpkin season can happen anytime with the invention of canned pumpkin. I especially start cranking out the pumpkin recipes for fall season and enjoy the warm spices then so much more!

I have created a sugar free, gluten free, keto, low carb pumpkin muffin that you will be so enthralled with! It is moist with a crunchy topping that REALLY sets it apart from other muffins you may have had!

They are NOT dry or crumbly at all and you will be sharing the recipe with all of your friends because it is THAT GOOD!!

Don’t forget to get some of these tulip cupcake liners as it allows for your muffin to rise up and get that bakery style feel!

If not, then I recommend you go with filling the muffin cups half full to allow room for the topping and rise.

Low Carb Chocolate Snack Cake

Leave a comment

It is true that you can have cake for breakfast when you make this super easy and tasty healthy treat!

It is not overly sweet or heavy and goes great with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning! Pair it with a plate of eggs and bacon and you are set! It is also perfect to reach for when you want a chocolate treat because it is not only sugar free but contains protein!

Jazz it up with chopped nuts or a drizzle of sugar free caramel syrup! You can also make it dairy free when you substitute the sour cream with applesauce!

Benefits of Coconut Flour

Leave a comment

I love baking with coconut flour🥞🍰
.
It is an easy way to stay low carb AND gluten free easily!
.
Coconut is made from 100% dehydrated coconut meat, and it contains no additional ingredients.
.
It is an excellent source of minerals such as copper, magnesium, manganese, and selenium.

Magnesium plays numerous vital roles in the body, especially in muscles!
.
Additionally, copper and selenium are essential minerals that, among other functions, have a primary role in the immune system!

The fiber found in this flour helped reduce triglycerides and the ratio of non-HDL to HDL cholesterol! Get the benefits like oatmeal but LOW CARB!
