Ingredients

BUNS

  • 1 serving Orange Cream Keto Chow
  • 1/3 cup psyllium husk powder (1.75 oz.)
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour (1.25 oz.)
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. orange extract or zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 tsp. lemon extract or zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 Tbsp. freeze dried blueberries (optional)

ICING

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, combine Keto Chow, psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, orange and lemon zest, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix on low to combine.
  • Add the melted butter and boiling hot water. Carefully mix on the lowest setting until the water is absorbed, then turn the speed up to medium and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Add the dried blueberries, if using, and mix briefly to incorporate them into the dough.
  • Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll them into balls. Wet your hands lightly with cool water if they are too sticky to roll. Space them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown, round, and puffed. They should sound slightly hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Serve warm with plenty of butter or allow them to cool completely and decorate with royal icing.
  • To make the icing, stir heavy cream and lemon juice into the powdered erythritol. If it is too thick, add more heavy cream or water a tsp. at a time until thin enough to pipe but still thick enough to hold together in a string when piped.
  • Pipe a cross or other decorative shapes on the cooled buns and allow the icing to set for at least half an hour before serving.

BREAD

CINNAMON TOPPING

GLAZE

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉ and line an 8x4 bread pan with parchment and grease.
  • In a bowl, mix together Keto Chow, almond flour, baking powder and cinnamon with a fork until combined.
  • With an electric mixer, blend the butter and sweeteners; then add eggs one at a time, blending in between. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mix and combine. Blend in the milk.
  • Gently fold chayote or zucchini into batter and then spread into the pan.
  • Bake at 375℉ for 40 minutes. Sprinkle on the cinnamon topping and bake for 5 more minutes. This will give it the dark classic fritter look.
  • Cool for five minutes and then remove from the pan and pour on glaze. Try to wait until completely cool before slicing–if you can!

FOR GLAZE

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and set a rack to the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl mix almond flour, keto chow, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the poppyseeds.
  • Add the cubed butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or rub it in with the tips of your fingers until the mixture has the consistency of rough sand.
  • In a separate bowl beat the egg well, then mix in the sour cream and lemon extract.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until it starts to hold together. Gently press it together until it comes together into a ball of dough.
  • Place it on the parchment paper on the baking sheet and pat it into a circle about an inch thick and six and a half inches across.
  • Cut the circle in half and then each half into quarters to make eight triangles. Pull the pieces apart slightly so there’s a little space between each one.
  • Place them in the preheated oven and bake 15 – 20 minutes until they are golden around the edges and starting to brown on the bottom.
  • While they are baking, make the glaze by stirring the lemon zest and juice into the powdered sweetener.
  • When the scones come out of the oven brush a thin layer of glaze on each one and sprinkle with poppy seeds while the glaze is still soft.
  • Serve warm or cold.
