OKAYYYYY. I hope you all are as hyped up as I am for this recipe.

I DON’T EVEN LIKE pork rinds and I’m pumped!

This Low Carb Pork Rind Bread is just everything.

So many possibilities..

It’s soft with a slight chew..flavourful, not bland or dry at all.

This recipe was inspired by my last two recipes: The Amazing 8min Low Carb Flat Bread & EASY LOW-CARB FLAT-BREADS (YEAST RISEN!)

BEST EVER LOW-CARB BAGELS (Yeast-Risen)

November 6, 2019November 10, 2019by sammysamgurl2 Comments

HOLY CRAP GUYS.

HOLY CRAP.

These are amazing. Like I cannot contain my excitement.

I have been attempting low-carb bread and bagel recipes for AGES AND AGES.

I feel like I’ve finally cracked the code.

These bagels not only LOOK like real bagels, they also toast up perfectly like real ones!!

I’m actually almost in tears (okay not really) but I’ve missed bagels so much being on a keto diet and these are such a nice replacement. They also aren’t hard to make! Sure anything yeast risen takes a bit of extra effort but these are worth it. Plus the flavour possibilities are endless…

Just a quick note, these bagels are NOT gluten-free but they are low-carb. You can totally eat these on a keto diet if you do not have a gluten allergy. Just as with anything, make sure they fit your daily carb count. (These are 5g of NET carbs each).

Anyways, without further ado, if you are a bagel lover like me but can’t justify eating that many carbs daily… these beautiful babies are for you. Continue reading “BEST EVER LOW-CARB BAGELS (Yeast-Risen)” →

Low-Carb Flat Bread (Yeast Risen)

GUYS IT’S BEEN A WHILE BUT I’M BACK AND MORE EXCITED THAN EVER TO RELEASE SOME NEW EPIC RECIPES I’VE BEEN HOLDING ON TO!

This one literally blew me away. I mean I feel like I’ve stepped up to the next-level of low-carb baking with this recipe.

If you know my blog then you know I had a previous “Amazing 10 Min Flat Bread” go viral.

That low-carb flat bread was great and I still am proud of it to this day but I mean this recipe…for a little extra time (but hardly any extra work) makes that recipe look like yesterday’s news.

This new low-carb flatbread is stretchy, easily foldable, DOESN’T FALL APART. It has the texture and mouth feel of real flat bread..PLUS you can freeze it for later use without it becoming dried out quickly. Continue reading “EASY LOW-CARB FLAT-BREADS (YEAST RISEN!)” →

Keto Butter Tarts

June 13, 2019November 10, 2019by sammysamgurl1 Comment

keto buttertarts

Keto Butter Tarts is one recipe I’ve had planned for AGES but I’ve just finally got around to making it!

I’m so glad I did! Butter Tarts are a classic.

They’ve always been my Dad’s favourite but for some reason I never really loved them as a kid..

That all changed when I tried one a couple years ago. I hadn’t realized how AMAZING these things taste when find the right one. Some buttertarts are gooier than others, some have a tougher center with more filling and then there are some that have a thick crust, some that have a thinner, lighter crust…etc.

Butter tarts are very versatile is what I’m trying to say.

That’s why I thought, why not have keto butter tarts ?

The filling doesn’t have to change much and the crust shouldn’t be to hard to re-create….

and thus, these beautiful butter tarts were born.

These make the perfect after-dinner treat and are the ultimate cure to any sweet tooth cravings.. Continue reading “Keto Butter Tarts” →

5 min Keto Biscuit Thins

5 MIN KETO BISCUIT THINS

Have you ever gotten frustrated because as much as you love the keto way of eating.. you can’t help but feel just a little jealous when you see someone eating a delicious sausage breakfast sandwich with that nice buttery biscuit on top..Sure you could just eat the sausage, but what fun is that? That’s no breakfast sandwich.

Personally, I think anyone on a keto diet should not have to feel deprived. That’s the ultimate goal of my blog and ALL of the recipes I create. They all are based off treats and meals that I enjoyed before keto and plan to CONTINUE to enjoy but with some minor changes and alterations ;).

So with that said, Continue reading “5 min Keto Biscuit Thins” →

Keto Halloween Brownie Cheesecake

October 4, 2018October 4, 2018by sammysamgurl10 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)
