Konscious Keto Cupcakes https://mnketomom.com/2019/10/20/konscious-keto-cupcakes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=konscious-keto-cupcakes Mon, 21 Oct 2019 01:57:10 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=1655 ]]> October is no grocery shopping month here. We are using what we have in the freezer, pantry, and fridge. When I got a craving for chocolate cupcakes and found out we had no cocoa powder, I started racking my brain. I pulled this out of the beverage cupboard skeptical if I could make it work. I hadn’t done baking before with protein powder, but my craving said “it’s worth a shot.”

The fact that I’m typing up this recipe means they came out absolutely FANTASTIC. I topped with All Day I Dream About Food’s Swiss Meringue Butter Cream Frosting with just a slight bit of orange food coloring for some October fun.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F
  2. Mix butter and sweetener together.
  3. Add Eggs in one at a time until incorporated.
  4. Add vanilla.
  5. Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients.
  6. Scoop into 12 lined muffin cups (I love using the re-useable cup liners) and bake for 15-18 mins (until a toothpick comes out clean from center).
  7. Top with Frosting.

“Potato” Salad https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/09/potato-salad/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=potato-salad https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/09/potato-salad/#respond Mon, 10 Sep 2018 00:38:29 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=490 ]]> Summer is quickly drawing to an end.  Potato salad is one of those things that screams summer. Making a low carb version was a must for barbecues.  This recipe is quick and easy to whip up, but plan to do it in advance as it is better as the flavors develop in the fridge. It really is a perfect summer side dish.

 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Sour Cream

1/3 cup Mayonnaise

1 Tbsp Mustard

2 tsp Parsley Flakes

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 bags (12 oz each) Steamable Cauliflower

6 Hard-Boiled Eggs (rough chop)

2 Tbsp Chopped Pickles

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Steam cauliflower per bag instructions.
  2. Spread out on paper towel and allow to cool (and dry) until you can use your hands to break up the florets into bite size pieces.
  3. Mix all ingredients together in large bowl until all of the cauliflower is covered. Salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The longer you leave it in the better the flavors combine. If you can plan to do it the day before, its even better!

Bacon Jalapeño Chicken Pizza https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/25/bacon-jalapeno-chicken-pizza/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bacon-jalapeno-chicken-pizza https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/25/bacon-jalapeno-chicken-pizza/#comments Sat, 25 Aug 2018 17:10:56 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=335 ]]> Fall…Pizza and football: does it get any better? While we love our Better than Fat Head Pizza for traditional pizza flavors, it’s nice to mix it up with some chicken and garlic cream pizza flavors.  This one became a quick favorite.  Just enough heat from the jalapeños balanced by the creamy garlic sauce.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 cup mozzarella
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 jalapeño sliced with seeds removed
  • 6 strips of bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400*
    2. Mix ground chicken, grated parmesan, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning together.
    3. Roll the mixture out between two pieces of parchment paper into the shape of your baking pan. I like to use a pizza stone like this to get a nice crisp on the pizza.
    4. Leaving the crust on the parchment place on baking pan and bake for 20 mins. I find it helpful to place a pan on the rack under the pizza to help catch the drips from the chicken.
    5. While crust is baking, melt butter in sauce pan. Then add the garlic.
    6. When bubbles start, add in heavy cream and continue to reduce the sauce over medium heat stirring occasionally.
    7. Pull crust out when top has started to brown and flip it over directly onto the pizza stone. This helps to get a nice crust that holds up when eating, but doesn’t stick to the pan when baking!
    8. Bake crust for 5-10 mins for the top to brown slightly.
    9. Top crust.  First sauce followed by jalapeños and bacon, and topped with shredded parmesan cheese.
    10. Back in the oven until cheese is melted and jalapeños are soft.
    11. After taking the pizza out of the oven, let sit for 10 mins to help crust stiffen up.

Keto Avocado Brownies https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/07/keto-brownie-cookies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=keto-brownie-cookies https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/07/keto-brownie-cookies/#respond Wed, 08 Aug 2018 03:28:05 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=152 ]]> Fat filled brownies that will not disappoint! If you are a fan of chocolate, you MUST try these. Chewy and moist.  No one would ever guess they are keto friendly.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (or other low glycemic sweetener.  I use this.)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (Check ingredients. You’ll want one that is just peanuts and salt)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 4 Tbsp almond flour (My favorite is this)
  • 1 T and 1 tsp beef gelatin (Find it here)
  • 1/2 tsp liquid sweetener (This is one I like)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix all ingredients together

For Brownies:

  1. Spray pan with non stick spray. I use this pan to make individual brownies, but you can easily use a 8×8, 9×9, or a 9×13 depending on how thick you like your brownies.  
  2. Bake for approx. 20 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For Cookies:

  1. Line cookie sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper. Bonus that this makes it easy to clean up!
  2. Scoop out cookies with 1 inch space between. I love this tool: Cookie Scoop
  3. Using the back of a spoon, spread cookies out so they are flat.  They will not spread when baking.
  4. Bake for 12-15 mins.
  5. Move to cooling rack immediately and store in the refrigerator once cooled.

Can’t wait to hear what you think!
