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.

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.

Bird of Paradise Cake

Bird of Paradise Cake

This cake is inspired by the classic Hummingbird Cake. Since it has delicious flavor of bananas and pineapple without the sugar, I'm calling it Bird of Paradise Cake. It gets its delicious sunny flavors from Banana Keto Chow, pineapple extract, and shredded coconut.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the cake pans by greasing them well and lining the bottom of the pans with 9" rounds of parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment paper, too.
  • Toast the coconut and pecans on an ungreased cookie sheet or cake pan in the middle rack of the oven. Stir them occasionally while they toast and remove them from the oven when they smell fragrant and the coconut is beginning to look golden brown. It should take about five to ten minutes. Set them aside to cool while you make the cake.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Banana Keto Chow, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, coconut milk, sweetener, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and pineapple extract. Whisk until fully combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Then gently fold in the coconut and pecans.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Spread it and smooth it evenly.
  • Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven to bake.
  • The cakes are done when they spring back when gently touched in the center and a skewer comes out clean. It should take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Set on a rack to cool. When the cakes have cooled for about 10 minutes, gently remove them from the cake pans and carefully remove the parchment paper. Set them on the rack to cool completely.
  • When they are cool, frost them with the Banana, Pineapple, Sour Cream Icing.

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl

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.

Mocha Almond Milkshake

Mocha Almond Milkshake

This luscious, frosty milkshake is inspired by one of my all-time favorite milkshake flavor combinations. The good news is you can drink this milkshake for breakfast. Brew some extra coffee and allow it to cool, or just mix your favorite instant coffee with cool water to make the coffee ice cubes. Once the ice cubes are frozen the milkshake comes together in less than five minutes.

Mocha Hazelnut Cookies

Mocha Hazelnut Cookies

If you really like a kick of coffee and desserts that aren’t too sweet, these cookies are for you. They get their coffee kick from a tablespoon of ground coffee – not instant - which gives the cookies a rich coffee flavor and a slight crunch. The hazelnut flour delivers a lot of texture, and the chocolate decoration adds a nice contrast. Altogether it adds up to a very grown-up cookie with a lot of flavor.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or tin foil.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together Keto Chow, hazelnut flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, ground coffee, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add the eggs, butter and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix everything together.
  • Use a tablespoon or a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out 9 cookies on each prepared cookie sheet. Gently flatten the cookies with the flats of your fingers. The dough is sticky, so you can also spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and use that to flatten the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies about 12 minutes until the cookies are slightly puffed and firm enough in the center to hold their shape when gently touched.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely.
  • When the cookies are cool, melt the milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave or in a double boiler set over barely simmering water.
  • Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the cookies in a zigzag pattern.
  • Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the milk chocolate diagonally.
  • Allow the chocolate to set before storing the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

If you don’t have a convection oven, make sure to rotate what rack the cookies are on halfway through baking.
