December 6, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

These Small Batch Low Carb Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies are warmly spiced with rich notes of caramel.

Have you had Molasses Crinkles? They’re warm-spiced dark brown cookies with rich notes of caramel, thanks to the use of molasses. Growing up, my mom made them in the fall, and they always seem so festive to me! These Chewy Molasses Cookies are a low carb version of Molasses Crinkles. They’re perfect for a festive holiday cookie tray, or lovely anytime you want to do some autumnal baking. The best part is that this recipe makes just eight cookies so you won’t be stuck with a ton of leftover cookies; or you can easily double or triple the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd….

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce)

November 19, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce) is sweet and tart with subtle notes of aromatic vanilla and piney rosemary.

I have a confession; I don’t really like cranberry sauce along with my turkey on Thanksgiving (I know, that’s crazy, right?). But I LOVE cranberry sauce. For me, its uses go well beyond an accoutrement for turkey on Thanksgiving dinner; it’s the perfect thing to keep stashed in your fridge for the holiday season!…

5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe

November 15, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

This 5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe is creamy, rich, and deeply chocolaty with complex flavor notes of vanilla and coffee.

As a kid, one of the things I looked forward to most about winter – in addition to snow days – was hot chocolate! There was something incredibly magical about spending the better part of the day sledding, coming inside only to thaw out our red cheeks and frozen fingers and drink cocoa, and then heading back out to brave the cold again.…

Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola

November 1, 2018 By faith Leave a Comment

Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola is perfect for stocking your pantry with the entire fall season.

If you’re looking for autumnal flair, nothing does it better than pumpkin spice. And if you want pumpkin spice in something other than a latte, give this granola a try! This Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola has rich pumpkin spice flavor and great crunch. I used flaked coconut not for its coconutty flavor (which is covered up surprisingly well by pumpkin pie spice mix), but because it looks similar to oats, which makes it feel like you’re sitting down to a bowl of regular granola.…

It’s the best of both worlds when your muffins taste like pancakes…and are low carb too! These muffins have a moist, tender crumb and subtly sweet flavor with a hint of maple, thanks to the addition of a little funugreek….

Low Carb Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Keto Cheesecake Buttercream

October 11, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

Low Carb Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Keto Cheesecake Buttercream are a low carb remake of a classic childhood favorite.

One of the things I love about a ketogenic way of eating is that it’s fairly easy to remake just about any recipe into a keto version of itself. Childhood favorites and classic comfort foods are some of my favorite recipes to play with….

Vanilla Bean Low Carb Cheesecake Frosting

October 4, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Vanilla Bean Low Carb Cheesecake Frosting is decadent and rich, with luscious cheesecake texture and just the right sweetness level, balanced with a slight tang from cream cheese.

There are so many fabulous things about a fluffy cream cheese-based frosting. Whipping cream cheese results in a light and ethereally fluffy texture that’s similar to mousse. In addition to luscious texture, this low carb cheesecake frosting has great cheesecake flavor with a perfect sweetness level. Using cream cheese in addition to butter adds bulk and stability to the frosting without the need for a ton of powdered erythritol (or powdered sugar). A thick layer of this frosting turns just about anything into a completely decadent treat….

Brownie lovers living a low carb lifestyle, I have a real treat for you today. On my quest to find the best fudgy keto brownie recipe I did a lot of experimenting. I’ve used countless secret ingredients (like gelatin, flaxseed meal, and psyllium husk powder), endless variations of flours, and a combination of different keto-friendly sweeteners….

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel and Chocolate Ganache (Paleo Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe)

September 6, 2018 By faith 1 Comment

This Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel and Chocolate Ganache (Paleo Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe) is a fun twist on a classic candy: the turtle!

My inspiration for this cake was turtle candy, which is pecans and caramel dipped in chocolate. This cake’s flavor is deep chocolate and it’s sweet enough without being too sweet; its texture is light without being overly fluffy or spongy. On top of the cake I added a layer of vegan caramel made from dates and a couple other common ingredients. I made a quick chocolate ganache layer using cacao butter as the base for topping the caramel, but if you’re pressed for time you could melt a chocolate bar and use that instead. Additionally, a sprinkling of pecans adds crunch and nutty flavor….

Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy)

August 16, 2018 By faith Leave a Comment

Inspired by the deliciously addictive Girl Scout cookie, but with just 2.5g net carbs per truffle, these Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy) are the perfect trick to have up your sleeve when a craving hits.

Let’s face it, we all get chocolate cravings. One afternoon I couldn’t get Girl Scout cookies out of my head (Samoas are just a little bit evil like that, lol). I knew I could remake a keto-friendly version of Samoas, but I wanted something a bit different.

Because they’re a great keto tool to help reach your macros, I make a lot of different types of fat bombs. They’re always a good option when you want something that feels like an indulgence, but is actually rich in healthy fats. In addition to Girl Scout Cookies, keto fat bombs were another source of inspiration for these truffles….
