Cheesecake Peanut Butter Brownies

August 22, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

If you can’t decide between chocolate, peanut butter, and cheesecake, now you don’t have to! These rich, fudgy chocolate brownies are laced with a hint of peanut butter, and then topped with rich and creamy no-bake peanut butter cheesecake.

Back in the day (before I started eating low carb, lol), Adam’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory was one of my favorite desserts. It was my go-to dessert there; after trying it, I don’t think I ever ordered a different kind of cheesecake! But after going low carb, it was of course out the window….

Almond Butter Brownies

May 23, 2019 By faith 1 Comment

Almond Butter Brownies are rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey! You’ll be surprised that the batter has half a cup of almond butter because you can’t taste it. Each brownie has just 2g net carbs per serving!

I’ve experimented with almond butter-based brownies more times than I can remember! Either they ended up with the wrong flavor (too much like almond and not enough like chocolate), or the wrong texture (there is no place for rubbery brownies, cakey brownies, or cardboard-y brownies in my world)….

This combo is the basis for several popular candy bars, including Reese’s Pieces, Butterfinger, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, to name just a few. For those of you who try to minimize sugar and highly processed ingredients but still enjoy an occasional treat, my Low Carb Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Recipe will become your new favorite….

Keto Carrot Cake

April 18, 2019 By faith 2 Comments

Keto Carrot Cake is richly spiced with a moist crumb, just the right amount of carrot, and a luscious cream cheese frosting to top it off.

It’s the cutest thing; my grandma went keto about a year ago (her doctor recommended it for medical reasons). After that, every time I head up to Buffalo to visit family, she tells me that she’s dying for Keto Carrot Cake. Well, on my next trip to Buffalo I won’t be going empty-handed. Grandma, this one is for you (xoxo!)….

Soft Keto Sugar Cookies with Sugar Free Vanilla Frosting are a delicious low carb way to satisfy your sugar cookie cravings!

I searched for the best keto sugar cookies for a very long time. (And in the process I tried more recipes than I care to admit!) Keto baking can be quite finicky, and nothing yielded the result I was looking for. Finally I came up with this recipe for Soft Keto Sugar Cookies with Sugar Free Vanilla Frosting that’s as close to regular sugar cookies as I can get it!…

Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Paleo and Vegan)

February 21, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

These Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan) are nutty and sweet with subtle notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla.

I recently found a huge bag of dates tucked into the back of my pantry. I’m not one to waste food if I can help it, and I wanted to find a way to use them. Crumb bars came to mind! Dates make a delicious filling for crumb bars because they’re naturally sweet and have subtle notes of caramel. Plus, dates are packed with fiber and are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Cinnamon is the perfect spice to accentuate the flavor profile and pull everything together in my Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats….

Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free)

December 20, 2018 By faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free) are the perfect sweet treat to bring to your next holiday party! Or keep them stashed in your fridge throughout the holiday season for those times when a craving strikes and you want something that’s decadent without being too indulgent; these have just 2g net carbs per truffle!

Chocolate Rum Balls are a Christmas party classic. I remember going to endless holiday gatherings as a kid and they all had these little boozy-smelling chocolate bites. At first bite you might think it’s an odd flavor pairing, but rum actually brings out the flavor nuances in chocolate. These candies taste like a cross between brownie bites and fudge, in the shape of truffles. They get even better the day after making them, as the different flavors have the chance to blend….

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….

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 4 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….
