Fried Cookie Dough Balls

Fried Cookie Dough Balls

January 18, 2014 by 6 Comments

I've been trying to find a way to make fried cookie dough for a while, and with almond flour alone the texture just doesn't come through. The batter doesn't get thick enough...and coconut flour is something that I don't like to use. It falls apart and becomes very dry. Protein powder (casein to be exact) was the key! Optimum Nutrition is one of my favorite brands for both protein powder and casein powder. Not to mention they make great multivitamins, vitamins, and other supplements. There's ...

Macadamia & Coconut Keto Custard

Macadamia & Coconut Keto Custard

January 11, 2014 by 14 Comments

I've been looking for some different ways to use the Homemade Macadamia Nut Butter that I made the other day. I've not had custard in a long time, but for some odd reason it popped into my head and I got a craving. I set out to make a recipe that can stand up to low carb, but still taste great. I went for a texture that custard should be when baked - some egginess, but a velvety soft texture. As you chew, the notes from the vanilla, egg, coconut milk, and then macadamia nut butter come ...

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 ...

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Classic peanut butter cookies. Crumbly in their own texture with a bit of chewiness to it. These came out almost as good as the real thing, only problem was - they're a tad crunchier. If you notice in the recipe, I only have 15 balls but in the macros I have that it makes 18 total. That's because I ate some of the batter since it couldn't fit onto the baking sheet. Using a meat hammer on cookies seems pretty weird, but for the pattern on the cookies I used the spiked side of the hammer. It ...

The New Year's coming around and I always love making spice cakes at this time a year. Winter is here and there's nothing better than a nice warm spice cake after a great meal. These light, fluffy, and moist cakes will bring a delightful warmth to your taste buds only to be cooled off by a zest and quick pinch of lemon with the cream cheese. A decadent treat for any occasion! Optional: Add 1 Tbsp. rum to each cupcake after the come out of the oven. Drizzle it over the cakes and let it soak ...

LC Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies

December 29, 2013 by 20 Comments

I meant to post this recipe a while back, but wasn't able to get it done. I believe this one is worth the wait! It's very versatile and a good way to use up egg whites if you make homemade mayo like I do. It's a 3-ingredient recipe, so it comes together quickly and easily. My favorite! The only thing that takes some time is the cooking and cooling. Yields 18 servings of Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. The Preparation 1 cup egg whites, room temp ½ cup creamy peanut butter 2 ...

Low Carb Macadamia Nut Brownies

Low Carb Macadamia Nut Brownies

December 26, 2013 by 33 Comments

I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

December 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...

Keto Orange & Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Keto Orange & Chocolate Chunk Cookies

December 15, 2013 by 12 Comments

When I was a kid and it was the holidays, I was guaranteed to be eating a Terry's Chocolate Orange. The memories the smell of chocolate and orange together brings back is wonderful for me. The orange flavor comes through immediately, almost overpowering for a second - then the chocolate hits. The chocolate adds a fantastic hint of bitterness, which superbly melds together with the flavors of orange. With the sweetness of the dough finishing it off, it's an extremely balanced flavor profile - ...
