Equipment

  • popsicle bags with a zip-close seal

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large freezer bag and cut off the tip of one corner to create a piping bag.
  • Squeeze the yogurt into the popsicle bags starting as close to the bottom of the bag as possible, pressing out any air as you go. If the mixture is very thick due to thicker yogurt, add some water until desired thickness is achieved to pour into sleeves.
  • Seal the tops of the bags.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer up to two months.

Notes

*If you have yogurt that’s high in fat you can replace the sour cream with another cup of yogurt.

Keto Chow Flavor: Snickerdoodle
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 180.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.
  • In the work bowl of the food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are coarsely ground.
  • Add the Keto Chow and pulse again until mixed.
  • Add the coconut oil and syrup and blend on low until it starts to form a dough.
  • Allow the dough to sit for 5 minutes to firm up and hold its shape.
  • Using a tablespoon divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Flatten the balls into rounds and make an indentation in the center of each one with your thumb.
  • Place ½ teaspoon of jam in each indentation.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until they are beginning to brown on the bottom.
  • Allow to cool completely, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Each food processor will grind the walnuts to a different level of powder. The cookies still taste the same but may be a little harder to handle with not as smooth edges if the walnuts are not ground as small. 
I flattened the cookie dough balls with a cup bottom.

Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

FILLING

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 serving Spicy Taco Base Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1/4 cup green olives with pimento

CORNBREAD TOPPING

Instructions

  • Make the filling first by heating the olive oil in a ten-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown.
  • Add the ground beef, stirring and breaking it up with a spoon or spatula.
  • Add the chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through.
  • When the beef is cooked, stir in the Spicy Taco Soup Keto Chow and the green olives.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • To make the cornbread topping, combine the almond flour, Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow, coconut flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, cider vinegar, and corn extract (if using).
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and gently fold it all together with a wooden spoon or spatula. Then fold in the cheese.
  • If the beef filling has cooled down too much, warm through again. Then carefully spread the “cornbread” topping over the filling to the edges of the pan.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when gently touched, and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

This would also be wonderful if you replaced the hamburger with shredded chicken, pork, or beef. With hamburger, it has a more taco taste/feel.

These smoothie bowls are a perfect warm-weather treat. Offer a selection of fresh or frozen berries, nuts, and seeds - even chocolate chips, and let kids dress up their own bowl however they like, for a fun family meal. To scoop out just the rich cream for this recipe, I place a can of coconut milk in the freezer for about ten minutes.

Blueberry-Banana Donut Muffins

Blueberry-Banana Donut Muffins

Blueberry muffins are back and better than ever! I love blueberry muffins but adding berries to low-carb baked goods can cause them to become soggy. I finally found a solution; a small number of freeze-dried berries add all the flavor and color of fresh berries but instead of adding more moisture to the mix, they actually help absorb moisture.

Equipment

  • 6 Silicone Donut Molds

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Oil the donut molds well and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl, add the sour cream, melted butter, and erythritol and blend together.
  • Add the Keto Chow, coconut flour and baking soda and mix into the egg mixture. Stir in the freeze-dried blueberries.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared donut molds filling up the molds so that the batter lightly covers the center of donut mold. This will result in a muffin top when the donuts rise in the oven.
  • Bake until the donuts are golden-brown and spring back when lightly touched, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Notes

Baking these muffin/donut hybrids in donut molds helps them bake through faster and keep their crown. You can serve them toasted and buttered or topped with your favorite icing. If you have blueberry extract you can add a couple of drops to this and your muffins will smell like they’re fresh from your favorite bakery.

Root Beer Cream Sundae Pops

Root Beer Cream Sundae Pops

Don’t be intimidated by the lovely appearance of these popsicles. They are easy to make, you just need to spend a little time freezing the layers. The three colors and three flavors are reminiscent of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor sundae. But this is a keto treat you can keep in your freezer for any day.

Equipment

  • 6 popsicle molds and popsicle sticks

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix 2 ounces of heavy cream, Cookies and Cream Keto Chow, and 10 ounces of water in a shaker cup or large measuring cup with a pour spout.
  • In a separate shaker cup or measuring cup repeat with the remaining 2 ounces of heavy cream, Root Beer Keto Chow, and 10 ounces of water.
  • Starting with the prepared Cookies and Cream Keto Chow fill the popsicle molds one-third full. There may be Keto Chow left over, you can drink it while you wait for your popsicles to freeze.
  • Place the molds in the freezer to set for about 30 minutes. Don’t put the popsicle sticks in the molds yet.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the popsicle molds from the freezer and check to see if the Keto Chow is partially frozen. It should be solid enough to support another layer without mixing. If it isn’t set, return it to the freezer until it is.
  • When the first layer of Keto Chow is set enough, pour the prepared Root Beer Keto Chow in to fill the molds another third of the way. Then return to the freezer to set again.
  • Mix the two teaspoons of cocoa powder, and the cherry flavoring if using it, into the remaining Root Beer Keto Chow.
  • When the second layer has set, use the cocoa flavored Keto Chow to fill the remaining third of the molds. You should have three distinct layers from lightest to darkest.
  • Finally, add the popsicle sticks. Gently pressing them into all three layers. If the bottom is too frozen you can use a knife, to carefully make a space for the stick.
  • Return to the freezer and freeze until set—at least four hours or overnight for best results.
  • When you are ready to serve the popsicles, remove them from the freezer and run the outside of the mold under hot water momentarily to loosen the popsicle before removing.
