Low Carb Pumpkin Crunch Muffins

Leave a comment

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.

Ingredients
  

Keto Brownie Layer

  • 10 tbsp butter; softened
  • 3/4 cup confectioners erythritol no substitute
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fine almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup Choc Zero Sugar Free chocolate chips

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 box Simply Delish Chocolate Pudding
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Whipped Cream Layer

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners erythritol
  • 10 drops liquid monkfruit/stevia
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1/2 of prepared whipped cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese; softened
  • 1/4 cup confectioners erythritol

Instructions
 

Keto Brownie Layer

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt butter and confectioners erythritol and whisk until well combined.
  • Now whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.
  • Now whisk in the vanilla and eggs one at a time until a very smooth batter is made with a shiny top.
  • Now whisk in the almond flour and baking powder. All batter should be very smooth.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the sugar free chocolate chips. Spread in prepared pan. Sprinkle other half of chips over the top.
    Bake for 20 minutes. It should be set in the middle.
  • Cool for 5 minutes then gently press down with the bottom of a jar or other flat bottomed glass. Not to hard, just enough to compress a little and make completely even. Set aside to coo for at least 30 minutes before adding on other layers.

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • With an electric mixer, whip up pudding mix with almond milk and heavy cream for 2 minutes. Set a timer if you need to because 2 minutes is needed.
  • Put in fridge to set before using in layering.

Whipped Cream Layer

  • Put heavy cream, confectioners erythritol, monkfruit/stevia drops and vanilla in a large bowl.
  • Whip until medium peaks/semi soft peaks are formed,
  • Put half of the whipped cream in a small bowl and set aside in fridge.
  • Using the bowl with the remaining whipped cream in it, Go to cream cheese layer step.

Cream Cheese Layer

  • With remaining whipped cream add in cream cheese and confectioners erythritol.
  • Mix until smooth and combined.

Assembly of dessert

  • On top of the brownie layer, plop the cream cheese mixture around in different spots. This allows you to cover the entire brownie surface without tearing it up. Simply "join" the plops together gently spreading it around.
  • Next, do the same thing with the pudding layer! Place plops of pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  • Lastly top with plops of the reserved whipped cream and connect together spreading gently.
  • Optional topping would be a drizzle of Choc Zero Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup and chocolate chips/or shavings!
  • Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can not be frozen successfully due to the whipped cream. Layers can be made up to 2 days in advance then assembled the day of serving if needed for best presentation. Whipped cream is best the day of and will slowly deflate but still taste good a few days after.

Keto Caramel Bacon Brownies

You know it sounds odd having bacon in a dessert, but the bacon is really set to a different level with this combination of salty, decadent caramel and fudgy brownie❤

The steps are simple for these gems and it comes together easily…..if you have patience!

I make my bacon ahead of time and then let the caramel simmer as I make the brownies❤

Keto Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

Leave a comment

You know those “soft baked” cookies of your low carb days that said “Ahoy” on them? Well I have created the low carb, gluten free, keto version of them!

Not only are these cookies super chewy but also very soft! They are the BEST to use for mini ice cream sandwiches with keto ice cream too and are easy to eat right out of the freezer without breaking a tooth or crumbling into a mess!

Don’t forget to let them cool on the pan before moving them or they will fall apart.

Enjoy my keto version of “Ahoy” chocolate chip cookies……bringing back all of the childhood memories!

Low Carb Sausage & Pancake DIppers

Leave a comment

You know the little pancake and sausage dippers you would get in the frozen section?

I remember from the 80s, since you know I am an 80s kid, lol. Well this could also be a to-go version of pancakes and sausage together as well if you are not having the nostalgia like me!

These come together in the blender and will be perfect for quick morning on-the-go breakfasts when you need something more than a smoothie or bar…. you need some MEAT and FAT to carry you till lunch! This packs it all into a little muffin size punch!

To reheat, I recommend the oven on 350 for 5-8 minutes. The microwave will make these rubbery….. just a warning!

If you are looking for more low carb recipes you can make ahead, check out my 2nd cookbook, “Chaffles, Cast Iron and The Crock” here for 86 more!

Low Carb Tot Casserole

Leave a comment

Growing up in the 80s, tater tots were the go to for quick crunchy-potato appeal next to a grilled cheese or hamburger. My Mom used tater tots in a famous casserole I am sure EVERYONE from the 80s remembers….Tater tot casserole where you use the canned cream of mushroom soup.

I would not be caught using canned soup today, but have re-created this nostalgic fave with low carb ingredients and a homemade cream soup that rivals the canned stuff!

Low Carb Chocolate Cake With Frosting

Leave a comment

SO my whole idea with this cake was to have a moist, fudgy cake that was gluten free, low carb AND dairy free. This is what this cake is and so much more!

Can you say VEGGIES? Yes, the main ingredient to this moist cake is puree pumpkin. Of course you cannot taste the pumpkin, but it is there 🙂

THEN I needed a low carb, dairy free frosting to put on it that would fit the amazingness of this cake……MISSSON ACCOMPLISHED!!

SO hurry up quick and make this cake, or make into cupcakes if you wish and bake for 20 minutes.

You will find the baking mix recipe here so you can go make some if you have not already!! There are over 8 different recipes on my site using this mix!

Low Carb Chocolate Cake With Frosting

Make a quick and fudgy chocolate cake topped with frosting that is gluten free, dairy free AND low carb! You can easily use butter in place of ghee in cake recipe or in frosting recipe. It will make the frosting recipe softer though so keep that in mind.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup ghee; softened
  • 3/4 cup baking mix
  • 3/4 cup monkfruit
  • 1/4 tsp stevia
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup Sugar free chocolate chips

Low Carb Frosting

  • 1/2 cup Nutiva Palm Shortening
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup Anthony's Powdered Erythritol this is the best brand without the cooling effect
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla stevia drops regular stevia drops will work here
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk

Optional to make chocolate frosting

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions
 

For the Cake

  • Preheat Oven to 350F and grease an 8x8 pan.
  • With a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the eggs and pumpkin together. Add in the ghee and mix well.
  • Now add all of the other ingredients and mix very well until smooth.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes until toothpick tested clean. Check at the 40 minute mark to not overbake. Store cake in the refrigerator. Set on counter 10 minutes to bring to room temperature if frosted so it will soften.

Low Carb Frosting

  • In a stand mixer, whip the shortening and ghee for 3-5 minutes to get a fluffy consistency. Set a timer to be sure you whip it long enough. This is the MOST important step of all to take the time to do this. When you cream it like this it will become a bit lighter in color, then you know it is ready.
  • Now add in the erythritol and stevia. It will be dry and stiff. Add in the salt, vanilla and unsweetened almond milk.
  • Whip until smooth. You may add in additional tbsp of unsweetened almond milk if too stiff.
  • Will keep on cake at room temperature. Cake will need to be refrigerated, so consider timing so you can set it out so the frosting will become soft. Frosting WILL harden with cold.
  • To save extra frosting, freeze or put in fridge up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature and re-whisk if needed for spreading consistency.

Low Carb Pumpkin Pie Muffins

Leave a comment

So muffins are popular and pie is popular……lets put them together! A handheld, portioned out way to enjoy both!

It is pumpkin season, you know, and I am finding as many ways as possible to use my favorite veggie in new low carb creations!

You have the option to bake as directed, or bake a little longer to firm it up a bit more and get a sturdier crumb that is more muffin like. I of course tried both ways and preferred the shorter bake time so I got the ultra moist crumb that was pie like!

Speaking of pumpkin, have you tried my Pumpkin Pie Spread from my 2nd cookbook “Chaffles, Cast Iron and The Crock” yet?

It comes together quickly and without much effort in your crockpot!! Perfect for spreading on biscuits, pancakes, waffles, or layered with my No Bake Cheesecake in a dish for a pumpkin delight!
