About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am from Syracuse Utah. I now live in Kansas where the military has brought my family. I am married with two kids. I love to spend most of my time in the kitchen or anything outdoors. My favorite food is steak and I love to bake! I like to innovate my favorite foods to make them keto friendly.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put almond flour, keto chow, and glucomannan powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Add cream cheese and butter and blend until it creates a dough ball. This should be less than 1 minute.
  • Place dough onto a piece of parchment and put a piece of wax paper on top and roll out into a rectangle. You can use parchment on top but wax paper is see through. Remove top paper once dough is rolled out evenly to an 8x10 rectangle.
  • Add 8 oz of lunch meat over the dough, leaving a 1/2" edge of dough uncovered on the 10" side. Add cheese on top of the lunch meat.
  • Using the parchment paper, roll the dough long ways towards the ½” of uncovered dough. Keep using parchment to roll and pull away as you go so it doesn’t peel or crack the dough.
  • Slice into 16 pieces and place into silicone baking cups or silicone cupcake pan.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
  • Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*This dough is great to make calzones, savory pies or even crispy biscuits.

Ingredients

FROSTING

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Leave two of the sides long and allow them to hang over for easy removal.
  • Pulse the pistachios into fine crumbs with a food processor, spice grinder, or blender.
  • With an electric mixer, cream together the butter,* sweetener, eggs, and extracts on medium speed. Add in baking powder, Keto Chow, and the pistachio crumbs; mix on medium spend until everything is fully incorporated.
  • Add the batter to your prepared pan. It will be thick, but spread it to the sides the best you can. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
  • To make the frosting, cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract on medium speed. Once it’s nice and creamy add in the confectioner’s erythritol and start beating on low and then on medium speed until thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread frosting on cooked bars.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

*For high altitude bakers: melt the butter before adding to the mixing bowl, add 1.5 Tbsp. water to batter, and bake for 3-5 minutes extra.
Please note: The nutrition info uses Lemon Meringue Keto Chow.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak pistachios in water for 20 minutes.
  • Combine butter, sweetener and egg with mixer on low speed. Add keto chow and almond flour and mix until well combined.
  • Blot dry pistachios with a paper towel and add into batter. Mix thoroughly.
  • Scoop onto plastic wrap and form into a cylinder with your hands and the wrap. Finish wrapping and refrigerate for at least two hours or even overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove plastic wrap and slice into 16 by cutting in half and those halves in half again until you have 16 slices. Place sliced cookies onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • You can leave as is or if you want to get fancy you can dip the ends in chocolate and add crushed pistachios or coarse sea salt.*

Notes

*For some festive Halloween fun, turn these cookies into little Frankensteins! Once the cookies are cooled, melt dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between so it doesn't seize. Place in a piping bag and decorate with hair, facial features, and stitches as desired. White chocolate may be used with the same melting method to add other details.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With an electric or stand mixer on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • Add in the confectioners sweetener and keto chow and then fold mixture with spoon or rubber spatula until it’s nice and creamy. It will limp together at first, just keep stirring. It will reduce down a lot by folding which is ok.
  • Add to piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes. They will harden as they cool.

Higher Altitude Instructions:

  • With an electric or stand mixer with whisk attachment on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • While the mixer is still whipping on high, add in the confectioners sweetener a little bit at a time and mix thoroughly between additions. Using the same method, add keto chow a bit at a time. The mixture will reduce down some, but let it keep whipping on high until fully mixed. Make sure to continue whipping while adding sweetener and keto chow. Only stop to scrape the sides once or twice.
  • Add to a piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown and puffed.
  • For a crisper cookie, lightly oil a foil lined cookie sheet and pipe cookies onto the foil.

Calories: 3.5kcal
Author: Amanda

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/3 cup confections erythritol

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Using an electric/stand mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks. Add in erythritol a little at a time while still whipping
  • Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and make a little indent in the middle of each one. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let cool, they will harden as they cool. Use a metal knife or spatula under each one to remove from paper, be careful they are fragile.
  • You can store these at room temperature with a towel over them until you are ready to add the custard.
  • Keep the custard refrigerated until you are ready to eat cookies and pipe custard into each meringue cookie. Can also top with whipped cream if desired. 

Notes

****any little bit of yolk will keep your whites from getting to stiff peaks so be careful separating eggs.
