              DESSERTS: DONUTS (CLICK HERE TO PRINT)


              SOUR CREAM DONUTS (LOW CARB/KETO)








              Sour Cream Donuts 
              2/3 cup coconut flour
              1/2 cup erythritol
              1/2 tablespoon baking powder contains corn starch (can substitute 2 parts cream of tartar with one  part baking soda)
              1/2 teaspoon sea salt with iodine (regular salt works fine too)
              1/2-3/4 cup melted butter
              1/2 cup sour cream
              4 tablespoons heavy cream
              3 extra large eggs (if you do not use extra large eggs your batter may get chunky, you must add more liquids to help with this)
              1/2 teaspoon vanilla 

              Mix dry together, then mix wet ingredients together, mix them all together. (If your batter is a little on the dry side don't be afraid to add some water or more heavy cream, coconut flour can be tricky to bake with at first.) After you have mixed the dry and wet ingredients together you MUST get it in the donut pan/maker immediately. The longer this mixture sits the dryer it will become. You might need to add water to the batter after each batch. The consistency should be like a thick pancake batter.

              Coat your donut maker with some coconut oil or butter. Fill each donut hole up. Follow donut maker instructions. Remove and cool.

              Dip in lowcarb ganache! Or make a lemon glaze, a vanilla glaze or a erythritol/cinnamon topping. Get creative!

              Ganache Recipe
              Melt low carb cacoa chocolate and slowly add equal portions heavy cream. Add vanilla and some erythritol (if you are using dark unsweetned chocolate). Dip each donut into the ganache and let cool.

              makes 6 donuts; 3 carbs each

              DESSERTS: KETO FRUIT PIZZA (click here to print)


              Keto Fruit Pizza Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

              • 4 tbs butter (I used Kerrygold butter)
              • 2 oz cream cheese
              • 3 tbs whipped cream
              • 2 tbs swerve sweetener (I used the powdered kind)
              • 4 Strawberries
              • 7 blueberries

              Keto Fruit Pizza Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe Instructions

              1. Combine the butter and cream cheese until creamy.  Note:  This may not be easy to do if the ingredients are not at room temperature.  If they are cold, place the cream cheese and butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat it on high for exactly 10 seconds.  This will slightly soften the ingredients to mix them together easier.
              2. Add the whipped cream and Swerve sweetener to the batter.  Mix it until it’s fully combined.
              3. Slice the Strawberries.
              4. Spread the cream cheese frosting mix over the cooled Keto friendly pizza dough.  Place the strawberries and blueberries over the top.
              5. Cut the pizza into individual servings and enjoy!
              decide to top your dough with something else!

              Keto Fruit Pizza Crust Recipe

              2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
              3/4 cup almond flour
              2 tbs cream cheese
              1 egg

              Keto Fruit Pizza Crust Recipe Instructions

              Heat the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in the microwave (or over the stove top on low heat until melted) for about 1 minute.
              Stir in the almond flour and egg. Mix it until the ingredients form into the dough.
              Place the ingredients on a nonstick surface such as a silicone mat or parchment paper.
              Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it out. Note: You will want to roll it out in the shape of your pan. If you have a round pizza pan, you may need to split the dough into two separate parts and roll them into circles. If you have a large rectangular pan, you will roll the dough into a rectangle shape.
              After you roll the dough out, take the top piece of parchment paper off, and slide the dough with the bottom parchment paper on to the pan you plan to bake it on.
              Bake it at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until it’s golden brown.
              Let the dough cool.

              BREADS: LOW CARB USING A BREAD MACHINE (click here to print)

              1 1/2 Cup. Water 110-115 degrees
              2 Eggs, slightly beaten (organic)
              2/3 Cup. Ground Golden flax meal
              1/2 Cup. Oat Fiber
              1 Cup Vital Wheat Gluten
              1/4 cup ground Psyllium Husk
              2 Tbsp. Soften butter (grass fed)
              4 Tbsp. Swerve, Sukrin ( powdered)
              1 tsp. Salt
              1 Tbsp baking powder
              1/2 tsp. Xanthum gum
              keep the last two ingredients separate
              1 tsp. Honey (raw)
              2 Tbsp. yeast
              Ok... add the eggs to the bread machine first. add the water and the softened butter.(if eggs are cold soak in warm water for 5 minutes before cracking).
              Next add and whisk all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
              This is very important!!!!!! take another 1/4 cup water and heat to 110 to 115 degrees F. then add honey and stir... add yeast and set aside for 5 minutes. The yeast will form bubbles and a thick looking slime on top. This means your yeast is active. skim the top of the water (slime will be about an inch thick) and add the slime to the bread machine(NOT THE WATER). Immediately add dry ingredients to the bread machine and start. It should start mixing right away. i used the basic bread setting. 3 hours 50 minutes with dark crust selected and 2 pound loaf selected. DO NOT LIFT LID TILL ITS DONE!!!! Enjoy!!!!! i only figured out the carbs but its 104.8 total carbs per loaf. Take away 84 carbs because they are totally insoluble fiber. that leaves 20.8 carbs per loaf. i got a bout 10-12 slices out of a loaf. so around 2 net carbs per slice. 10 total carbs per slice. If you are a total carb counter you can easily get 18-20 thinner slices out of this and bring down the total carbs per slice to 5 or 1 net carb per slice.  Recipe submitted by Tom Saunders

              LOW CARB MONTHLY MENU PLANS (click here to view)


              The daily menus list what I actually ate each day. I post them to give you ideas for planning your low carb menus. They are not meant to be the ideal way to eat or right for every low carb plan, so tweak them as needed to fit your low carb lifestyle. Also bear in mind that I do a lot of recipe testing. That means that there may be some pretty strange menus some days where I might eat three desserts or make other seemingly unusual food choices. If you want some structured menus that do follow the Atkin's low carb plan, check out the Induction Menus link above.

              Ingredients
              • 1 1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
              • 2 ounces full-fat cream cheese, cut into pieces
              • 1 large egg
              • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
              • 3/4 tsp baking soda (or 1 tbsp of baking powder)
              • 1 tbsp oat fiber (or 2 tbsp whey protein powder or 1/4 cup more almond flour)*
              Report this ad
              Instructions
              1. Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute more.  Scrape the cheese into a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
              2. Add the dry ingredients and process until a dough forms. It is very sticky! Scrape onto a piece of cling film and place into the freezer.
              3. Preheat oven to 400 F and place rack into the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
              4. When oven is ready, remove the bagel dough from the freezer and divide into 6 equal pieces. Lightly oil hands and roll each portion into a snake and seal the ends together forming a ring. Place on the parchment paper and top with your favorite topping, pressing gently to adhere. 
              5. Bake for 12 minutes or until the outside has browned.  They will still be soft, so let them cool before removing from the baking sheet. Once cool, store in a bag in the refrigerator. Warm slightly to enjoy or toast.
              6. Makes 6 average sized bagels. Dividing the dough into 8 portions results in mini bagels and dividing into 4 results in gourmet sized bagels. (Don't have a food processor? Read the post for other methods.)
              7. Keep bagels in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They keep for 7-10 days and also freeze well.
              Recipe Notes
              *The oat fiber option tastes the best, but use what you have. 
              Do NOT double the recipe if making in the food processor or it will crawl up under the blade. Mine was difficult to clean out completely.

              APPETIZERS: CHEESE CRACKERS (click here to print)

              me
              Cook time
              Total time
              Author: 
              Serves: 30-35
              Ingredients
              • 2 Cups Cheese of your choice (I used a Parmesan-Romano mix along with some swiss and cheddar)
              • 1 cup Almond Flour
              • 2 oz Cream Cheese
              • 1 egg
              • ½ teaspoon sea salt
              • 1 teaspoon Rosemary (or a seasoning of your choice such as basil, chives, garlic, dill weed, spicy chili etc...)
              Instructions
              1. Mix all the cheeses (including the cream cheese) along with the almond flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook it for exactly one minute.
              2. Immediately stir the ingredients until the almond flour and cheeses have combined fully. You want the cheese to be partially melted (see photo)
              3. Allow this to cool for a few minutes because if you put the egg in these ingredients too soon it will cook the egg.
              4. Now add the egg, sea salt and seasoning of your choice. I decided to cut up some fresh rosemary I had on hand. You want to add about a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning unless it's a spicy mix. I would add only about a ½ teaspoon for spicy seasonings.
              5. Mix it together until all the ingredients is fully combined. If you cheese has gotten too hard or it's too hard to mix, you can microwave your cheese for another 20 seconds to get it soft again.
              6. Now you will place the ball of dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Then place another sheet of parchment paper of equal size on top of the ball of dough.
              7. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to spread the dough out into a thin layer. It spread so easily that I used my hands to have more control and keep the dough inside the square piece of parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper is the same size as your baking sheet.
              8. Next use a pizza cutter to cut the crackers into small squares as seen in the photos.
              9. Bake these crackers on each side at 450 degrees for about 5 or 6 minutes on each side. If the crackers are thin, you will cook them about 5 minutes on each side but if the dough is thick, it may take 7 to 9 minutes to get the crispy cracker texture you are looking for. When you keep the dough on the parchment paper it's really easy to flip it over while it's hot after cooking it on the first side. I ended up using the pizza cutter again to define the lines on the flip side too. Feel free to leave the crackers in there a bit longer (but watch them closely) if you love a very crispy texture.
              10. Allow the crackers to cool for about 5 minutes and they are ready to eat!

              DESSERTS: CHOCOLATE RICOTTA CAKE (click here to print)

              *This recipe makes to 3×5 mini loaves. Double it for a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a bundt pan and increase baking time.
              1 tbsp butter
              2 tbsp cocoa powder
              1 1/4 cup almond flour
              2 tbsp erythritol
              1/2 tsp baking powder
              1/2 tsp baking soda
              1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
              1/8 tsp salt
              3 eggs
              1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
              1/2 tsp almond extract
              8-12 drops stevia extract
              Preheat the oven to 325F and grease 2 mini-loaf pans. Line bottom and long sides of pans with parchment paper, and grease paper.
              In a medium, microwave-safe dish, melt butter. Stir in cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside.
              In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt.
              In a larger bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until frothy. Beat in ricotta, almond extract and stevia until smooth. Add dry ingredients and beat until thoroughly combined.
              Place half of batter into chocolate mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Alternating between light and dark mixtures, spoon dabs of batter into prepared pans until they are 2/3 full. Place pans on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until top is set and a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
              Serves 8. Total carbs per serving is 8g, but only 7g if you subtract erythritol.
