Low-Carb Cheddar Biscuits

Hey Guys!


So recently I discovered another recipe that I Love and I think that you will too!!
So guess what? We are making Low-carb friendly bread!
Yasss.
Source: The amazing All Day I Dream About Food
You Will Need:
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus some for sprinkling
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
1/4 cup butter, melted


Preheat the oven to 350F.


Mix the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt together in an electric mixer. Add in the ½ cup cheddar cheese.


Add eggs, sour cream, and butter and mix well.


It should look something like this.


Now get out your scooper-thingy and drop those biscuits! I make mine much smaller than All Day does, so I end up with 20-24, which is double what she makes. So the size is really just a preference thing. Do what you like!


Now sprinkle a ton of cheese on there! The more cheese, the more flavor, so pile it on! Also feel free to use a variety of cheeses here. I have used cheddar and mozzarella before.


Now bake for 15-20 minutes. When they are fresh they will be pretty soft, but these cool pretty quickly so just wait a few minutes and then dig in!


And you are done! These are delicious and a wonderful replacement for normal biscuits. I Love them a lot and I hope you give this a try. Be sure to tell me how you liked them and if you changed the recipe at all.

Keto Chocolate Pudding

Hey Guys!


So the other day I wanted some chocolate pudding. So I made some chocolate pudding. And let me tell you something, this pudding is amazing. I love it with whip cream and fresh strawberries, but I also made some more pie crust and made a keto chocolate pudding pie (scroll down or click here)!! Little more on that after the recipe.
Anyway, I am very excited to share this recipe with you so let’s get started!


Unfortunately I forgot to take my usual ‘you will need’ photo...so you will need to read the list this time…
You Will Need:
1 can (400 ml) (Mili) Coconut Milk
4 tbls. powdered erythritol or xylitol or stevia
4 tbls. Unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp. pure vanilla
1 tbls. melted coconut oil


Mix all the ingredients together. I only used 2 tablespoons of Swerve but you really have to measure Swerve ‘to taste’. You have to beat this quite thoroughly otherwise it will be gritty.


It should look something like this.
Now if you have some keto or THM approved chocolate bits, now would be the time. I prefer my chocolate pudding plain, but if you enjoy some added flavor go for it!


Now divide it into your bowls. You should be just able to get 4 small portions, but it is okay if they are small because these are very rich.
Now refrigerate for an hour. It seems like a long time to wait but it is worth it!


And you are done! Now dump some whip cream on there and enjoy!


Now I did say earlier that I would mention how to make this into a pie so here we go! It’s actually pretty easy:
  1. Make this pie crust dough. Then grease a pie pan thoroughly with butter and cook the crust in the 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the edges. Don’t forget to dock it!
  2. While that is baking make the pudding.
  3. Cool the crust completely.
  4. Pour the chocolate pudding into the pie. Be careful not to pour too much! I am speaking from experience…
  5. Now put the pie in the fridge and refrigerate until set.
  6. And you are done!


If you make this, remember to let me know how you liked it. And if you have a recipe or craft you want me to tackle and share, let me know in the comments below!

Keto Crust!

Hello!

So today I am sharing an amazing keto pie crust recipe, and I will also be showing what I did with my crust.
(I used recipe 2)

You Will Need:
1 cup almond flour (100 g / 3.5 oz)
⅓ cup flax meal (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (8 g/ 0.3 oz)
pinch salt (I like pink Himalayan)
¼ cup butter or ghee or coconut oil (56 g/ 2 oz)
2-4 tbsp water (optional)

Note: for best results, measure by ounces using a kitchen scale.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mix all the dry ingredients together: almond flour, flax meal, psyllium husk powder and salt.

Cut up the butter and use your hands to mix it all together. If the dough is too thick to press into a pie pan, add a tiny bit of water.
Now refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until needed.

Now you can use your dough! I put mine in a muffin pan and baked it for roughly 15 minutes, although the original recipe says 18-20 minutes.
Now the tart in the bottom shows what I did with my dough, which I will explain below. :)

So all I did was cut up an apple and a few frozen strawberries, then I added cinnamon, vanilla and some powdered ginger. The strawberries were so sweet so I didn’t need to add any Swerve.

Meh photo, sorry
Then I dropped the apple mix into the dough and baked it until it was a little bubbly.

And that’s it!
These are delicious served with whip cream by the way.
If you make the dough be sure to tell me how it turned out and what you did with it. And if you try to replicate my recipe, I’d love to know!

One more thing: I love suggestions!! If you have a certain craft or recipe you want me to make, or something you want me to review tell me! I will do my best to look at that for you.

See you later!
