Keto Almond Joy Cookies

KETO ALMOND JOY COOKIES

Were you a fan of Almond Joy bars as a kid? I mean with that delicious chocolate coating and the chewy sweet coconut centre…

Well, I sure was. I’ve always been a fan of anything almond and coconut.. actually one of my favourite low-carb protein bars is the Almond Coconut Built Bar (see my previous post for a full review of Built Bars!)

I’ve always loved almond croissants, coconut macaroons, coconut milk, almond milk… you name it.

That’s why when I considered the fact that ALMOND and COCONUT FLOUR are two of the most popular ingredients in keto baking… WHY HADN’T I THOUGHT OF AN ALMOND JOY COOKIE YET?

That’s where the idea for these babies came from. Continue reading “Keto Almond Joy Cookies” →

Servings:

Calories: 120kcal

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour 112g
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut flour 54g
1 tbsp vital wheat gluten 10g, OR 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter 90g (room temperature butter)
6 1/2 tbsp splenda (OR another sweetener that measures like sugar)
3 1/2 tbsp truvia (OR 6 tbsp of a sweetener that measures like sugar)
1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses (optional-adds brown sugar flavour)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup stevia sweetened chocolate-chips 60g

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 350*F.
In a large bowl, combine your flours, vital wheat gluten(or xanthan gum), baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat together your butter, sweeteners, vanilla extract and molasses until light and fluffy.
Add your eggs and beat again until combined.
Pour your wet mixture into the dry and stir to until a thick dough forms.
Fold in your chocolate-chips and then place the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20min.
Spray/grease a baking sheet with oil.
Begin rolling your dough into balls (I ended up with 15) and space them evenly apart on the baking sheet.
Flatten each one slightly with the back of a spoon and place in the oven.
Bake for 8-9min or until the cookies are JUST set and the bottoms lightly browned. (They will continue baking on the cookie sheet afterwards. You can cook longer if you don’t like the slightly under-cooked middle…(that’s favourite part, haha)).
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15min or so before removing and placing on a plate.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick snack in the future! Enjoy!

Notes

1.5 NET CARBS

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)” →

Keto No-Bake Snowball Bites (“White-Chocolate” Sugar Cookies)

November 6, 2019November 17, 2019by sammysamgurl1 Comment

WINTER IS COMING.

I repeat. WINTER IS COMING.

Prepare yourself for the endless ELF memes, slow overly cautious drivers, overwhelming pressure of gift shopping and constant Christmas recipe bombardment.

Of course I’m jumping on the trend early so be prepared to be annoyed with multiple holiday and winter-related recipes.

This little recipe is something I whipped up real-quick as I was having a major sugar-cookie craving.

Actually scratch-that, I was having a sugar craving..let’s not sugar coat it (LOL I’m sorry I’m literally the lamest human being).

Anywho, my other “ball” and “bite” recipes have been taken really well by you guys. It seems you all like to put about as much effort into baking as I do (aka, we all just out here being lazy).

This recipe is perfect for you lazy folks who need food NOW.

No-baking required, just throw together, toss in the freezer for a bit and you’re good to go. Snacks for the week!

(Or 1 day, I mean let’s be honest if you’re a woman and you experience the deadly shark week, these things aren’t lasting more than 5 minutes and if someone attempts to steal one you’re probably going to have to eat them too).

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” →

May 18, 2019May 18, 2019by sammysamgurl2 Comments

Oh man guys, I have been waiting so long to tell you about these cookies and OFFICIALLY release them for sale at kickkookies.com ! I honestly am having a hard time containing my excitement right now.

It’s been rough considering I’m someone who cannot wait to blab about their next big thing, haha.

These cookies are my baby, my pride and joy, the holy grail of MouthwateringMotivation.

They are not your average keto cookie. They are soft, chewy, moist and NOT crumbly OR dry at all. I went through 3 different sweeteners to find one that you guys would approve of and I thought tasted best! I also tested different baking times and altered a few ingredients to ultimately end up with the perfect soft cookie texture.

These cookies are designed to be your best friend on keto. They are only 1.5 NET carbs per servings and <1g of sugar! They are are also packed with protein and fibre.

If you guys have tried my recipes before, you know I do things next-level here. My keto baked goods are typically very close to the original carb-filled version because I believe if there’s a will there’s a way! Keto desserts CAN taste amazing! And that’s exactly why I created these cookies.

I want to share my *slight obsession with the world.

So without further ado, please meet the crew:

We’ve got… Continue reading “PRODUCT RELEASE – KICK KOOKIES | KETO COOKIES” →
