Coconut Flour vs. Almond Flour — Everything You Need to Know

With coconut flour and almond flour, you can make pancakes, cookies, bread, muffins, pizza, and even waffles that are both healthy and delicious.

As with any food, however, there are some crucial caveats to be aware of before using these flours. After considering these concerns, we find ...

Keto Flour Substitutions

Melty chocolate chip cookies, moist double chocolate layer cake with vanilla frosting, delicious donuts, fluffy pancakes, fresh Belgium waffles —  just the thought of them will make your mouth water and induce an intense craving. Do you have to fight against these cravings for the rest of your life? Although only one serving of these sugar-filled foods can easily put you over your carb limit for the day (or, in some cases, the entire week), this doesn't mean that you have to give them up ...

The Best Nuts for Keto: Low Carb Nuts, Seeds & What to Avoid

Nuts are known for their vitamin, mineral, fiber, and healthy fat content. What is often overlooked, however, is how many carbs they add to the diet. Since nuts are designed by nature to provide nourishment for a new plant, each one comes with some net carbs in the form of starches and sugars. This is why it is crucial to consider the carb counts of each nut before you incorporate them into your keto lifestyle. To give you a better idea of the best nuts for keto, let's take a look at carbs ...

Keto Granola Cereal

Keto Granola Cereal

One crucial component of weight loss success is finding foods that are convenient, satisfying, and healthy. The perfect example of this is keto granola cereal. Not only is it a quick convenient keto meal, but each mouthful is fulfilling, flavorful, and filled with healthy fats, fiber, micronutrients, and health-promoting plant compounds. However, there is one problem: low-carb granola products can be expensive. Rather than letting my grocery bill climb, I decided to try making it myself. ...

Almond Butter Chia Squares

Almond Butter Chia Squares

Are you getting tired of the oily frozen fat bombs that you've been making and constantly seeing around the internet? Well, I sure am. So I wanted to set out to give some new textures, flavors, and ways to get your fats in. These are a little more carby and less fatty than the pure oil fat bombs, but they taste SO much better that it's worth giving them a try. They come out to 83% fats, 5% carbs, and 8% protein which is still highly ketogenic in itself. Plus...they taste ah-may-zing. ...

Pumpkin Flax Cookies with Almond Butter Icing

Pumpkin Flax Cookies with Almond Butter Icing

I went to the store the other day and saw some Flaxseed Meal on the shelf. I remembered all the breads and treats I used to make with flax, so I decided to pick some up and see what I could come up with. I love flax, but some people can't handle it. It's mostly made up of insoluble fiber, so if you have a weak stomach or a weak digestive system - it will send you to the bathroom! These cookies turned out amazing. They taste great, and the flax really pushes a more earthy and crunch texture to ...

Keto Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Keto Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

I enjoy a good piece of coffee cake on Saturday mornings with a nice hot black coffee. Although sometimes I want something a little more than a plain piece of coffee cake, albeit it just as delicious. This raspberry cream cheese coffee cake hits that spot just right! This keto coffee cake features 4 layers: a cake bottom, followed by a rich cream cheese layer, then the tart + sweet raspberry layer, and it's topped off with a scrumptious streusel layer topped with almonds. Yields 12 ...

Almond Flour & Flax Seed Pancakes

Almond Flour & Flax Seed Pancakes

A long time ago, I used to eat steel cut oat pancakes. I used to adore them, the chunky consistency, the full body taste, and the chewy texture. While these aren't as chunky, they came pretty damn close with the satisfaction. I don't like those protein pancakes or those cream cheese pancakes that turn out more like crepes. I want a PANCAKE and there's not all that much you can do to actually get what you wish on keto. I sought out an adventure and wanted to figure out a way to get a very low ...

Keto Almond Cake

Keto Almond Cake

This no-bake cake is every busy person’s dream. A light and creamy almond filling sits on top of a crunchy almond-based crust, creating a perfect combination of textures and flavors. The best part is it takes only 10 minutes of prep time, meaning that even those with the most busy lives can make this cake.  The base is the easiest part to make as it requires absolutely no baking—a rare occurrence for a cake recipe. We like to use allulose as a sweetener in the base, as it provides the ...
