These may be ARE the best keto cookie I have made to date (and I’ve made A LOT). Keto Brownie Cookies take the win!
Chocolatey, rich, fudgey and delicious. The combo of a brownie and a cookie creates perfection.
This don’t take long to make and are so worth the process. If you have a nagging chocolate craving, make these cookies now and you won’t be disappointed!
The special ingredient that gives these cookies their ultra soft, gooey, chewy texture is Vitafiber Syrup.
This is a low-carb, high fibre substitute, great for replacing corn syrup and maple syrup in recipes. It’s also a perfect addition to cookies, no-bake bars and candies.

Keto Microwave Egg Bites. How did I even get here.
Okay guys, let me be honest..I know ZERO about Starbucks. I went in yesterday and asked for a medium coffee and had to ask the cashier which size that was in the proper “Starbucks terms”. (Sad I know)
BUT there is one thing I do know about Starbucks and that’s that they offer wonderful sous vide egg bites as a new low carb breakfast option!
I had seen them all over Instagram so given the chance and me being someone who eats under 50 NET carbs a day, I was excited to try them at 9g of carbs per serving (2 egg bites).
I chose the bacon and gruyere option and they were delicious! From that moment I KNEW I’d be re-creating them at home. Thus, this recipe was born.
I read the ingredients in the original egg bites and estimated some amounts, then altered them slightly to fit what I had in my kitchen.
I’m also an extremely lazy, I-need-food-now kind of person so I wasn’t planning on doing any sous vide-ing of eggs. But I still wanted that soft velvety texture.
Thus, I chose to use a simple water bath as that was pretty easy to put together. I then decided to microwave the eggs because who says you need any special equipment to make a delicious breakfast?
AND, GUESS WHAT? It worked! Granted they are slightly different than the Starbucks egg bites, but they are definitely delicious in their own way and look super cute on the breakfast table (because obviously that’s a quality you look for in food..lol).
Pair it with a cup of bullet-proof coffee with homemade whip cream and you have a Starbuck’s breakfast fit for any basic keto-er.

I don’t know where to begin. This lasagna was EVERYTHING.
It tastes BETTER than regular lasagna..BETTER. I am being 100% honest guys. You need to make this like ASAP.
The “noodles” themselves are delicious on their own but pair that with a ton of cheese, meat and sauce…and OMG. That’s all I can say.
I slightly tweaked this recipe from it’s original I found here. (The author, Kyndra is a genius & I give her full credit!)
1. Preheat oven to 375° Line a 9×13 baking dish with tinfoil sprayed with oil or parchment paper.
2. In mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and eggs.
3. Next, add Parmesan cheese and spices. Mix to combine.
4. Fold in mozzarella cheese and mix until well incorporated.
5. Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming an even layer.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
7. When the “noodles” are done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut into thirds. This makes three perfectly sized “noodle” layers for an 8.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 loaf pan.
*NOTE: You can also make the noodles ahead of time and store them in your fridge or freezer!)
8. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, onion, peppers and your spices. Cook until the meat is browned.
9. Drain excess fat from pan and add ¾ cup of your sauce to meat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
10. Pour ¼ cup marinara sauce into bottom of loaf pan. Top with the first “noodle” layer
11. Layer a third of the ground beef mixture. Top with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese and 3 tbsp cottage cheese, and cover with another “noodle” layer. Repeat these steps.
12. Cover the top “noodle” layer with remaining ground beef, and mozzarella cheese.
13. Sprinkle a little parmesan and basil over top. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
If you guys don’t find this keto lasagna down-right epic then you might be crazy.

I don’t know about you, but anything with “Salted Caramel” in the title immediately draws me in.. same goes for anything with “chocolate” in the title. So when you combine the two in a mini muffin tin… You most-definitely end up with heaven in a cup.
This recipe is super easy!
Each chocolate is high in fibre, low in carbs and down-right delicious.
Here’s how I made them:
Ingredients:
Caramel Layer
Chocolate Layer:
*Alternatively you can try using a very dark chocolate OR unsweetened chocolate melted and sweetened with a sweeter OR combine: 1/4 cup melted Coconut Oil, 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder, 2-3 tbsp sweetener of choice & 1/2 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

This doesn’t sound like much..but trust me it’s good, creamy & rich with half the fat and double the protein of regular egg salad. This makes a delicious, filling low-carb meal on it’s own or it would go great on a sandwich! You can increase or decrease the spice based on personal preference.
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
Directions:
Sauce:
In a food processor, combine 1/2 the avocado chunks, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, a little salt/pepper and some sriracha sauce to taste and mix until smooth. (If you are lazy like me, you can just mash everything together decently well with a fork, haha).
Putting it together:
In a medium bowl, combine your egg whites & egg. Before adding in the tuna, stir it into the sauce you created and then add the tuna/sauce mixture to the eggs along with the leftover avocado chunks. Mix well and sprinkle with green onion. Give it one last toss and top with additional sriracha sauce as desired. Enjoy!

I love egg whites, they are so versatile, I mean you can use them in cookies, cakes, meatballs, smoothies, souffles, omelettes, meringues etc. Plus they are super high in protein and a great way to fill you up without making you feel heavy.
But plain, egg whites can get..well, a little boring. So, if you are like me and get bored eating plain foods over and over again, why not try this simple recipe to spice up your egg whites with very minimal effort! With all the great spices and flavour, it’s easy to get in your egg white protein for the day! Take me to the recipe!
This was a really nice change from my plain eggs for breakfast! The addition of squash, spinach and onions really takes breakfast up a notch! It’s also crazy easy to make..here’s what you’ll need:
-1 egg( you could always change this to two eggs!)
-1/3 cup chopped cooked/roasted butternut squash
-1 cup chopped spinach or other greens
-1/4 of an onion
-2 small cloves of garlic
-salt/pepper to taste
-1/2 tbsp olive oil
Directions: In a pan over medium-low heat, heat oil and add onions and cook until just transparent. Then add garlic and stir for another 30 seconds or so and throw in spinach. Cook for about 30 seconds and throw in butternut squash just to heat through. Stir and saute until everything is hot. In the mean time fry an egg with a little salt and pepper. Put the spinach/squash mixture in a bowl and top with the egg. Break open the yolk with a fork and let it run over everything! Delicious and super healthy.
This is a simple recipe that I made when I was in a rush to get out the door. It only requires about 5 main ingredients!
Ingredients:
-1/2 Avocado chopped
-2 hardboiled eggs chopped with salt and pepper
-2-4tbsp salsa
-1/3 cup romaine lettuce shredded
-1/2 a small tomato chopped
Directions: Combine everything in a bowl and eat up! Simple as that.
