Keto Halloween Brownie Cheesecake

October 4, 2018October 4, 2018by sammysamgurl2 Comments

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year for several reasons…

I get to dress up and use my creative skills to create make-up looks I’d NEVER wear normally.
I get to bake all sorts of fun and cool looking desserts..
I get to hand out candy (I love seeing all the kids in their costumes!) and…
It’s always right around my birthday!

So with that in mind, I was inspired to create the PERFECT cake for those people who have October birthdays or for those just looking to bring something delicious and keto-friendly to their next Halloween get-together! Did I mention it’s also super easy to put together and tastes like fudgey-chocolatey-cheesecake happiness? If you don’t believe me..give it shot for yourself!

Serves: 8

Brownie Layer:

1/4 cup truvia (or 2/3 cup of sweetener that measures like sugar, ex. splenda or swerve)
6 1/2 tbsp splenda or swerve (or more to taste)
1/2 cup(56g) almond flour
2 tbsp(14g) coconut flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 cup(48g) cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 2-3 tbsp of stevia sweetened chocolate-chips

Cream Cheese Layer:

1 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp truvia (or 2 tbsp splenda or swerve)
3 tbsp splenda or swerve (or more to taste)
1 egg
1/8th tsp vanilla extract
Orange food colouring as needed

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350*F
In a large bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients for the brownie layer.
Add your eggs, coconut oil and vanilla and mix until well combined. Fold in your chocolate-chips if using, and set aside.
In another large bowl, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese layer. Add your food colouring as desired and beat again.
Grease a cake pan with butter or coconut oil and then use a spatula to scrape the brownie mixture into the pan, reserving a few tablespoons of the brownie mixture for topping.
Use your spatula to smooth the brownie batter into place and then pour your cream cheese mixture on top.
Gently smooth your cream cheese mixture over the brownie mixture.
Next drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter on top and swirl into the cream cheese batter(this doesn’t have to be perfect!)
Bake at 350* for roughly 25min or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top layer forms small cracks/is set.
Let cool on a wire rack for 5-10min and then place in the fridge for AT LEAST an hour before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!! (Store covered in the fridge)

What if I told you I made low-carb muffins that are high in protein, high in fibre, contain 0 added sugars and actually taste GOOD? Like not just “okay they are alright for being healthy” kinda good but rather, good as in “wow these are delicious I could eat the whole plate right now…but like I won’t(okay maybe just 2…)”.

Would you believe me?

THE AMAZING 8min LOW-CARB FLATBREAD

June 2, 2018September 27, 2018by sammysamgurl69 Comments

Guys I feel like I made history today. SERIOUSLY. If you are someone who eats low-carb then you will know what I mean when I say trying to find bread replacement options is NOT EASY. A lot of keto bread recipes I’ve tried in the past have been huge flops(literally, I’ve seen them deflate before my eyes..LOL). BUT THIS ONE…oh this one is so different.

It’s soft, fluffy, actually tastes GOOD and works as a replacement for so many things! Burger buns, naan bread with dip, cheese bread, pizza crust, you name it! Did I mention it only takes 2 minutes to prepare and 5-6minutes to bake?

20 Second Chocolate Protein Fibre Brownie

May 29, 2015by sammysamgurl1 Comment

Probably the easiest way to hit your fibre and protein macros for the day, not to mention the tastiest! Chewy, Chocolatey and delicious is how I would describe it.

At only 1.5F/10C/13.5P & 10g fibre per serving, this little treat is 99.9% guilt-free.

It takes just seconds to prepare…and devour.

Made with my new favourite ingredient Vitafiber, a high fibre, calorie syrup substitute for sugar. You can also purchase the powdered form of Vitafiber, which is amazing for use as a flour or sugar substitute in baking specifically.

I’ll link to where you can purchase it if you are interested! 🙂

So without further ado, here is the recipe:

Rich and Fudgey, even those who don’t like pumpkin will love these brownies…

Decadent Pumpkin Fudge Brownies
Makes 8
Macros Per Brownie: 3F/6C/7P & 2 Fibre
Ingredients:
~1/3 cup(80g)canned pumpkin
~3 tbsp(1.5oz) unsweetened applesauce
~1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil or another oil
~1 whole egg
~(45g)3 tbsp liquid egg whites or 1 large egg white
~1 tsp vanilla extract
~1(34g) scoop Molten Chocolate Cellucor Whey
~1/4(30g)cup white flour
~1/3(27g) cup unsweetened cocoa powder
~1/2 tsp baking powder
~1/4 tsp salt
~5 tbsp Truvia sweetener (or another sweetener to taste)
Topping:
~Sprinkling of Truvia
~1 tbsp mini chocolate chips
~Optional: Sea Salt

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350* F, spray a regular bread/loaf pan with pam. Whisk together dry ingredients(not including Truvia) in a large bowl, set aside. In a medium size bowl, lightly beat together all of your dry ingredients with a fork until combined. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until a batter forms, now add your Truvia(this way you can add more or less to taste). Bake for 20-25min, test with a toothpick, you want it to be almost clean(DO NOT over-bake, they will be slightly underdone but will set as they cool in the hot pan). Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 8 squares. Serve warm or freeze them for later! They may even be better after being left at room temp. for a day. Enjoy!
