Brownies keto

 This was found on Pinterest and I copied this to save it during the winter storm Fern. I didn’t want to lose it and this provides comfort food for keto storm weather 😆 I used ALLULOSE for the sweetener however, and I used a bit less.

Custard pie breakfast

 I love this. It will puff up while cooking and settle back down when cooling. I like it warm.

1&1/2 cups plain yogurt 

1 tablespoon cornstarch 

4 eggs

A dash of vanilla extract 

2 tablespoons allulose or sweetener of choice

1 teaspoon gelatin unflavored 

Optional tablespoon or two of cream cheese  I think this is optional but haven’t tried it without it!

Mix thoroughly. Add to 7 inch round baking dish that has been oiled. Bake 350F for 55-60 minutes until just starting to brown lightly on the top. Cool 30 minutes at room temperature and serve.

Salt and pepper 

Directions

Brown sausage and then drain off some of the fat.

Add broth and bring to a simmer.

In a bowl mix eggs and cream.

Slowly drizzle egg mixture into the simmering broth while continuously stirring so you create egg type ribbons.

Sheet pan kebabs

 

Great tasting recipe found here- as you can see, I did not grate my onions, but it was still very good. For the ground meat, I happen to use a combination of ground beef, liver, and heart that is sold in the store and it was good with this recipe, but plain ground beef meat would be great too. 

Here is an Instagram link https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR7Y0ZpkTP_/?igsh=d3VzdmZ4MnRkcTlp

The link gives detailed directions.

2 pounds ground meat

1 small onion grated 

3 garlic cloves minced 

1/4 cup fresh chopped dill( I used some dried, just less)

1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley ( had none)

Zest of 1/2 lemon 

Pinch of salt and pepper 

1 tablespoon cumin

1 tablespoon smoked paprika 

1 teaspoon coriander 

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

( for adding at the end of cooking a tablespoon of tomato sauce or paste)

—————-

Yogurt sauce:

3/4 cup Greek yogurt ( I used plain yogurt)

Juice of 1/2 lemon ( I just used lemon juice to taste)

1.5 tablespoons olive oil ( me less)

pinch salt and pepper 

Fresh parsley chopped (me none)

Fresh dill chopped ( used dried)

Dried mint ( my addition)

Original recipe called for teaspoon date syrup— me omit

You blend all the ingredients for the meat mixture. Press on a 13 x 9 pan ( I did this instead of sheet pan because of all the grease and because I made 1/2 the recipe.)You press to 1/4”-1/2” thickness . They have you score it vertically and horizontally but not all the way through.

Cook 20-22 minutes. Then I took a turkey baster to remove the grease.  You then take a tablespoon of tomato paste or sauce and brush the meat and broil for about 2 minutes. Finish scoring to the shapes you desire.

Serve with yogurt sauce.

Pizza crust no grain no nut flou

 

This is tasty— it is a soft crust, not crispy, but it is nice nonetheless the less. I cooked mine on parchment lined pan 400F for 15-20 minutes.

Chaffles no grain

 

Great for breakfast or lunch or supper 🤣 Makes 2 chaffles.

Mix one egg, 2 tablespoons powdered milk ( or powdered cream whichever you prefer, and one tablespoon melted butter. 

Cook as usual. Great as a hamburger bun or with egg and cheese etc

4 cups cauliflower florets 

4 cups chicken broth

Rolls carnivore

 So tasty. Here is the YouTube link that shows how to do: https://youtu.be/1N0E0ip6RIA?si=R9AgmSCPzV5b9L8B 

Actually I also like this chaffle recipe!!! : https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2025/12/chaffles-no-grain.html?m=0

However the way she makes the rolls are not very low carb- about 14 carbs each for the milk powder I used. If you want them about 1 carb use Anthony’ heavy cream powder: Actually makes 5 or 6.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 tablespoon of baking powder (I used a grain free one)

1 and 1/2 cups of either dry milk powder or cream powder (or 150 grams it said--that is what I used)

Optional for me is about a half teaspoon of unflavored gelatin ( if I add this and cook the rolls about 14 minutes they stay inflated 🤣

       NOTE: IF YOU WANT LOW CARB USE THE CREAM POWDER! THEN IT IS ABOUT 1 CARB PER ROLL.

Directions (see video for more details and the comment section of the video).

Mix eggs. Sprinkle in the baking powder and the gelatin if using.Mix well. Sprinkle in the milk powder a bit at a time.

Preheat oven 350 F

Place batter in 6 lumps to make six rolls. on parchment lined sheet. I used a silicone scoop which worked well. The video does it differently--wetting hands and so forth as the batter is sticky.

Bake 13-16 minutes. I did 12 to avoid the over browning on the bottoms she mentions.

HOWEVER I find mine collapse when cooling SO I did need to cook them longer than the 12 minutes! But even collapsed they have a very nice flavor.

NOTE:if you add a bit of gelatin around a teaspoon and cook 14 minutes they stay inflated 🤣

Note: some say to flip 1/2 way through which I found too difficult so I didn't do it. I did use an air bake cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Next time I will try the convection . 

In the comments one mentioned air Fryer--set on bake at 325 for 5 mins and flip and cook another 5. This person added 2 tablespoons of melted butter to their batter however.

The video comments are very interesting as some make pizza dough and some cook in an 8 by 8 pan and different ideas. 

Ginger cookies keto

I love love these!!

 I made 1/2 of this recipe which I found on Pinterest. I used a bit less of allulose. They came out a tad dry as I cooked for 12 minutes and I could have done less. But I was craving something like this 🤣. It hits the spot with a cuppa. The total recipe would make about 16.

Pumpkin cheesecake mug cake

 So nice and fast for a fall mug cake.

2 ounces cream cheese, softened 

1 tablespoon pumpkin puree ( unsweetened and not seasoned)

1 tablespoon allulose sweetener ( can use 2- I like 1)

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Topping:

( whipped cream for topping)

Blend cream cheese. Then add the other ingredients but not whipped cream. 

Grease a mug. Pour into mug and microwave 90 seconds ( if you have a lower powered microwave you may need up to 2 minutes). Or bake in 350 oven for 25 minutes.

Place in refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes then serve with whipped cream if desired.

Waffles mini keto

Delicious and easy— mini waffles— made 3 in mine. Nice snack or breakfast.

1 egg

1 tablespoon full fat yogurt or sour cream

1 tablespoon almond flour 

Pinch baking powder 

Mix and cook as usual

 

Chicken waffle sandwich keto

The last 2 photos were after buying a mini waffle maker— much better for chaffles 

Good use for left over chicken! (My only problem was my Waffle maker was more of a Belgium style so it made this pretty thick in the original top 2 photos. Now I have a mini.

1 cup chopped cooked chicken

1 egg

1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded

1/4 cup either Parmesan or Mozzarella

Mix  the above ingredients in food processor, and place in your preheated waffle iron. Cook until done to your liking--my waffle maker is big --it only took a few minutes 3-4?  I cut mine in half to make the sandwich.

I placed lettuce and bacon on mine and topped with a sauce made from Primal Kitchen Mayo that uses Avocado oil, plus adding Bubbies Kosher dill relish, mustard, and paprika (this mixture makes a sauce similar to McDonald's Big Mac)
 

Lemon pound cake keto

 Very nice treat!

Mix wet ingredients:

(Mix cream cheese and butter first and then add eggs and lemon extract):

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

4 tablespoons butter (softened a bit)

4 large eggs

4 teaspoons lemon extract

Add dry ingredients to the above one at a time:

1 & 1/4 cup almond flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

sprinkle of salt

3 tablespoons allulose powder (sweetener)

Pour in a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan that has either been oiled or lined with parchment paper (I did the paper)

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting if adding frosting.  NOTE: I let mine cool ten minutes before removing the parchment paper , but I lifted it out of the pan first using the paper--

Frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese softened

4 T. butter softened

1-2 tablespoons of allulose or more to taste (or whatever sweetener you use)

2 t. lemon extract

Beat until fluffy.

Noodles carnivore/keto

 

These are very tasty and I should’ve cooked mine a hair less, but I did what the recipe called for. I really like them and you can use them for noodles or for lasagna noodles or for a flatbread. I made mine the size of egg noodles ,wider ---here is the recipe below, and I will give a link to the original

Preheat oven 350 F

Place in food processor:

4 eggs

4 ounces cream cheese

2 tablespoons plain gelatin

1/4 cup pork panko (I used the above Epic Pork rinds--just grinding enough)

Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet (air baking sheet would have been better). Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes (me possible a bit less as mine was fairly brown on the bottom but it still tasted really good!).

Let cool so you can handle it. If making noodles instead of flat bread you can roll and cut it or you could cut it from the flat condition .   

Here is a link that quickly demonstrates the method. The lady has a cookbook coming out soon , also.

https://youtube.com/shorts/kHPIRllmwwg?si=pZAZldu1PUzh0JVM

Great for wraps. After making the way above, I put cooked beef and mozzarella cheese inside of the wrap and baked it in the air fryer on a rack at 400 for five minutes. Nice and crunchy and good.

Cheesecake carnivore or keto

 Very tasty- quick to whip up, but time to bake.

Ingredients 

16 ounces cream cheese (full fat) softened 

2 large eggs

4 ounces sour cream 

Butter for greasing 

I added: 2 tablespoons of allulose powder and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract— 

Oven only at 300 F and you use a container of boiling water on bottom rack and place cake on middle rack cooking until edges start to get firm . About 45 minutes in 8” springform pan that has been greased.

Then turn off heat leaving everything in the oven with door shut for an hour. 

Then remove and cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate at least 4 hours. 

Here is the original recipe https://www.lowcarbsosimple.com/carnivore-cheesecake-in-the-oven/#mv-creation-212-jtr

Pancakes one ingredient Carnivore!

 So easy and tasty. After cooking these, I sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice since it’s fall this recipe makes 5 pancakes.

2 eggs  yolks and whites separated

Salt and pumpkin pie spice optional 

Separate egg whites from yolks. Meanwhile heat your pan with a little butter if using cast-iron

Whip egg whites until very stiff— you can turn your bowl upside down and they won’t fall out. 

Next whip your yolks in separate bowl with a little salt if desired.

Slowly fold in your yolks to the whites a little bit at a time using silicone spatula. 

Cook as usual, feeling sides to make sure they are done to your liking. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon or whatever..

Directions:

Crème brûlée carnivore

 Very rich and creamy

4 egg yolks OR 3 egg yolks and one whole egg (that is what I did)

2 cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon of vanilla (you can do less--but I like more than the 1/4 teaspoon it called for) or you can omit.

Preheat oven to 325F

With a mixer or blender, blend egg yolks and heavy cream adding vanilla if using. Blend just until combined.

Pour into a medium sized bowl (mine was 7 inches in diameter) or individual ramekins.

Place bowl or ramekins in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with about an inch of hot water--making a water bath.

Bake for 30-65 minutes until internal temperature reaches 170 F.  Mine took at least the 65 minutes.

However I did not put hot water for the bath, I used cold.  Also if you use smaller individual bowls it reduces the time. It still should be jiggly in the center .

Let it cool at room temperature about an hour. Then refrigerate fro 2-4 hours---this solidifies as it cools so is necessary

PS This would also be good with a bit of allulose sweetner.  Some sprinkle this sweetner on top after the cooking and  cooling and torch the top.
