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 ;).
Are you ready to enter chocolate heaven? These BLISSFUL muffins will have you feeling all types of ways. They are rich, moist, full of chocolate flavour AND super easy to make. What more could you ask for? Continue reading “Keto Chocolate Bliss Muffins”→
It’s that time of year..the end of October means bye Halloween, bye fall, bye pumpkin spice…and HELLO CHRISTMAS COOKIES, SNOWMEN, ELVES AND HOT CHOCOLATE.
But with that said, I thought I’d wave one last goodbye to our lovely pumpkin spice season (this is not at all because I had an extra can of pumpkin puree I needed to use up..) So without further ado, here is our last official pumpkin recipe of the 2018 year. I hope you enjoy! Continue reading “Keto Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Muffins”→

These are so simple to make and are extremely versatile. You can use them as a sandwich “wrap”, taco shells (cook thinner and crisper ones), enchilada wraps or just as they are; crepes, sweet or savoury! I hope you enjoy them! They are based off of a recipe we used to use when I worked at a french bakery…just slightly lower-carb 😉 Continue reading “Perfect Keto Crepes”→
These scones are inspired by a certain French bakery I used to work at. We baked bacon cheddar onion scones off daily and they were alway one of my favourites. This low-carb version is so close to the original, it’s hard to believe they are healthy! Anyways..I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I am honestly so impressed with how SIMPLE these are to make yet how perfect they turn out every time! This recipe is ideal for 1-2 people. The donuts are not only tasty but they are very filling and full of protein and fibre to keep you full for hours! Continue reading “The AMAZING 10min Keto Cinnamon Sugar Donuts”→
Keto Cinnamon Rolls…saying those three words together is just plain weird right?
But maybe not.
Keto Cinnamon Rolls are DEFINITELY a thing, but making keto cinnamon rolls vs. the regular flour and sugar laden cinnamon rolls is a whole other ball game.
First off, almond flour, the base to this recipe, has no gluten. Gluten is the protein found in bread that gives it it’s elasticity and airy-ness. No gluten=no gluten strands formed=dense “bread”.
Thus, in this recipe I have added vital wheat gluten(the isolated protein from bread) back to the recipe, this means we have all the gluten we need, without the carbs!
Tip:*Xanthan gum is also great for creating a similar texture to gluten!*
I’ve also added a teaspoon of sugar to this recipe. (OMG SUGAR, SAM, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, THIS IS A KETO RECIPE!! SUGAR??).
Yes, I realize sugar is not keto guys, I haven’t lost it(yet) but thankfully yeast is a pretty greedy little monster and will eat up all of that sugar for us while it activates!
(I feel like I can relate to this on a physical level..GIVE ME ALL THE SUGAR.)
But it’s pretty great, huh?
This recipe also offers a whopping 20g of protein and 4g of fibre per serving making this a totallllly acceptable breakfast option (or lunch or dinner..I don’t judge).
What doesn’t this recipe offer??
Okay, maybe a self-baking option…but I mean where’s the fun in that? Obviously watching dough rise is one of my favourite past times..
But enough jokes, since this recipe isn’t going to bake itself, this is where you come in.
Combine all dry ingredients except the reserved flour in a large bowl.
Heat your butter, milk and water in a microwave safe cup for roughly 50s to a minute.
Stir the warm mixture into the dry ingredients along with the egg.
Use a spoon to start forming a dough. Add the extra 1/4 cup almond flour as you go to make it less sticky.
Use your hands to begin kneading the dough.
Knead it for roughly 3-5min (it contains quite a bit of vital wheat gluten so we want to be careful we don’t over-knead or it will become too dense).
Next form the dough into a neat ball and sprinkle the bottom/sides of your bowl with almond flour before placing it back down.
Cover the bowl with a towel and move it to a warm location like an oven that still has a bit of heat in it but is not hot, or use the microwave method (just heat water or nothing particular in it for about a minute or so before placing the dough in to rest).
After and hour, remove the dough from the bowl and place it on an (almond) floured surface.
Roll the dough to be a rectangle roughly 12×9 inches in size (about 1/4 inch thick)(see instructional photo for a better idea-don’t mind the 5-year-old style rolling pin)
Using a spoon, spread the butter gently over the entire surface of the dough then combine your cinnamon and sweeter of choice and sprinkle on top.
Roll the dough, long-side to long-side, being careful not to tear it. Tuck in the ends and use your fingers to press any cracks back together if they do occur.
Next, slice the dough into 7 even pieces and place them, inner-side up, in a butter or coconut oil greased baking dish.
*Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes in a warm location.
Finally, bake the rolls uncovered at 375* for 15-18min. (I purposely took them out a little early so they wouldn’t over-bake).
Combine your coconut oil and cream cheese in a microwave-safe dish and microwave it for 30 seconds.
Mix in your egg whites, vanilla and sweeter and almond milk until it becomes smooth.
Drizzle or spread on the glaze on each cinnamon roll and then don’t wait for them to cool at all, just tear them straight out of the pan and devour them like a crazy hungry keto monster.
JK. If you want to be normal and not burn your mouth(that definitely didn’t happen to me…..)then wait for the cinnamon rolls to cool before gently removing them from the dish with a knife or spatula (trust me, it will make your life SO much easier).
NOW you can devour them. ENJOY!
Destroyed.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freeze until you have another cinnamon roll craving!
*Note : You CAN skip step 14 if you are in a hurry BUT I recommend completing the recipe as written for best results.

These baked donuts were fantastic! They are super soft and moist with a sweet, light pumpkin flavour. A perfect fall breakfast treat.
