Lemon Blondies (keto + gluten free)

Annie — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 17:54:14 +0000

These refreshing Lemon Blondies are covered in a sweet citrus and cream cheese frosting! This keto-friendly treat has less than 3 net carbs per serving!

My family LOVES brownies–Seriously, all of our childhood friends knew our house as the “Brownies for Breakfast” place when we were growing up. Some Sunday mornings, I still wake up and wonder, “Where are the brownies?”

However, now that I’ve had more than a few years to discover new tastes, I’m realizing that there are some other options out there! Now these Lemon Blondies have found a place in my dessert-filled heart, too!

We keep the nice dense texture of a brownie but brighten the whole thing up with a citrusy punch of lemon! To take it to the next level, I added lemon icing, too!

Not only is this twist delicious, it’s also great for all kinds of diets. There’s no gluten and no refined sugar, so you can just focus on how great they taste instead of what they may be doing to your insides! These are also keto and low-carb, so feel free to indulge a little! I won’t tell if you choose to have them for breakfast, either!

Ingredients for Lemon Blondies

This is just a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe. The complete recipe and instructions are below, just keep scrolling.

Butter: unsalted, softened butter
Granular Monkfruit Sweetener: Granular Swerve also works.
Eggs: room temperature eggs are ideal for this recipe.
Almond Flour and Coconut Flour: you need both flours to get the right rise and consistency for this recipe.
Lemon juice and lemon zest: this is about 2 medium size fresh lemons
Baking powder and Salt: provides lift for the blondies.
Additional ingredients for the glaze: Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener, cream cheese, almond milk or heavy cream, vanilla extract.

How do you make Keto Blondies?

To make this low carb blondie dessert, you’ll start out by using a handheld electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, and granular sweetener until creamy. Then, mix in the eggs, one at a time until smooth.

In another bowl mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt and combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat with the electric mixture until combined. Add in the lemon juice and lemon zest.

Prepare a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.

Allow the blondies to cool completely and add the keto lemon glaze (recipe below).

Tips and Tricks for the Best Gluten Free Blondies

Line your pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and leaving some overhang. This will make it much easier to remove the blondies from the pan. It also makes clean up a breeze!
Make sure the butter is softened before blending.
Be sure to use the correct size pan. Using anything larger than an 8×8 pan will result in very thin bars.
My personal preference is to enjoy these bars at room temp. Remove the bars from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to allow the butter in the blondies to soften slightly for the best taste and texture.

How do I store Blondies?

Blondies can be stored up to 5 days in an air tight container in the fridge.

Can I freeze Blondies?

Yes, these easy gluten free blondies will freeze well for up to 3 months if stored in an air tight container in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving.

Keto Strawberry Shortcake Waffles

Annie — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 11:00:20 +0000

Enjoy a plateful of these Keto Strawberry Shortcake Waffles for about 5 net carbs each! This is the perfect low carb breakfast!

Have you heard of a chaffle? These are low carb keto friendly waffles that are usually made from shredded cheese and eggs, and sometimes the addition of coconut or almond flour. Actually, I can’t believe I haven’t posted one before because I make them all of the time!

Recently, I began thinking ahead to Spring and those old favorites I know I will be craving and the first thing that came to mind was a Strawberry Shortcake! That is when I knew I wanted to make a keto friendly waffle that wasn’t cheese based so that I could create low carb Strawberry Shortcake Waffles.

These almond flour keto waffles fit the bill perfectly. One recipe makes two small waffles you can enjoy anyway you would like! They would be great with butter and keto friendly syrup, or like this with strawberries and whipped cream!

What ingredients do you need to make Keto Waffles?

The great thing about this recipe is that just need 7 pretty basic ingredients! They are:

Almond flour
Egg
Keto friendly sweetener such as swerve or monkfruit
Heavy Cream
Baking Powder
Strawberries
Whipped Cream

How do you make Keto Strawberry Shortcake Waffles?

For this recipe I use my favorite tiny waffle maker, it makes exactly 2 perfectly sized waffles. The first step is to plug in your waffle maker and it is ready to go when the light goes off. Though this waffle maker does have a nonstick coating I always spray a very light coat of cooking spray just to be careful.

Next, in a small bowl combine the almond flour, egg, sweetener, heavy cream and baking powder and whisk until smooth. Carefully pour half of the mixture into the waffle maker. It will take 2-3 minutes and the waffle maker will “pop” up a bit when the waffle has expanded and risen. Remove the first waffle and set aside. Repeat the steps for the second waffle.

The final step is to assemble the strawberry shortcake stacks! Place one waffle on the bottom top with 1 1/2 thinly sliced strawberries and whipped cream and repeat for the second layer.

Lastly, you can dust a bit of powdered keto friendly sweetener if you like to make your waffles extra decadent!

Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits

Annie — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 15:45:59 +0000

These Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits are the perfect easy keto breakfast. Each soft, fluffy biscuit is loaded with cheese and ham and is less than 2 net carbs!

I’ve been following a keto diet for over a year now. For the most part, I rarely crave carbs but every once in while those tricky cravings sneak back and I need something that reminds me of my “carbful” days.

Most recently, my cravings for a good old ham and biscuit were absolutely out of control! Fortunately, I created a keto version that totally hit the spot!

These Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits are great as a quick breakfast, amazing little sliders, or the perfect thing to serve with soup!

Ingredients for Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits

To make these cheesy low-carb biscuits, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:

Cream cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
Eggs
Almond flour
Baking powder
Salt
Heavy cream
Butter
Chopped ham

Can the Almond Flour Be Substituted?

No, this almond flour biscuit recipe must be made as written. Almond flour is the best keto flour I’ve found for this recipe, so that’s what I recommend.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Biscuits

This recipe is based off of my Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits that I shared on my other website, Maebells. That version tastes insanely like Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and only has two net carbs each!

These Ham and Cheese Biscuits have the same cheesy base that contains a cream cheese, cheddar and egg base. This mixture makes the perfect soft, fluffy, cheesy biscuits.

Here’s an overview of how these cheesy keto almond flour biscuits come together:

Once the cream cheese, cheddar and eggs have been mixed, until smooth add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, butter and heavy cream.
Next, fold in the chopped ham. The dough will be quite thick and you may be tempted to add more moisture, but don’t.
After you’ve mixed the batter, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes (otherwise they will spread out too much as they bake).
Use a small cookie or ice cream scoop to scoop them out onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Lightly press the dough down to flatten it slightly.
Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.

How to Store Keto Biscuits

After baking, store these low-carb biscuits in the fridge. Since the recipe does make 22, I like to freeze about half of my batch for quick sandwiches or a side dish.

They freeze beautifully, so just store in an airtight freezer bag and reheat in 20-second increments until warm.

Tips for Making Ham and Cheese Biscuits

You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of cream if you want, but the fat content decreases.
The dough will be thick, be careful not to overmix, watch the video to see exactly how it should look.
I use a SMALL cookie/ice cream scoop to get 22 biscuits. If you want to use a large/full size scoop, you will get approximately 12 biscuits with about 4 net carbs each. The baking time is 16-18 minutes for the large biscuits.

Are you missing classic Bisquick sausage balls now that you’re following a keto diet? I’ve got a really great low-carb replacement for you!

These easy 5-ingredient keto sausage balls are perfect for keto meal prep, and they make an easy grab-and-go breakfast or appetizer! These sausage balls are just 0.8 net carbs per ball and couldn’t be easier to make!

If you are familiar with my site you know I have another recipe for Almond Flour Keto Sausage Balls. That recipe differs because the sausage is cooked and drained before adding the other ingredients.

This recipe uses uncooked sausage just like the traditional Bisquick Sausage Balls.

Ingredients in Keto Sausage Balls

I know what you’re thinking, “A recipe for sausage balls without Bisquick?!” Just trust me, these cream cheese sausage balls taste just like the original, minus the carbs!

For this naturally gluten-free sausage ball recipe, you’ll need:

Breakfast sausage
Cream cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
Baking powder
Almond flour

Can the Almond Flour Be Substituted?

Possibly, but I’ve tested this recipe the most using almond flour so that’s what I recommend using.

How to Make Keto Sausage Balls

This is a very easy sausage balls recipe. Here’s a look at how it’s made:

Combine all of the ingredients until well incorporated.
Lightly spray a large baking sheet or line with silicone baking sheets
Roll the sausage balls into golf ball-sizes balls.
Bake at 375ºF until done.

How Long to Cook Sausage Balls?

These low-carb sausage balls need to cook for roughly 20 to 24 minutes at 375ºF.

Can This Recipe Be Prepared in Advance?

Yes, you can mix together the sausage mixture, form the balls, and seal them in an airtight container until you’re ready to bake them off.

Or, you can prepare the entire recipe as written and either refrigerate or freeze the sausage balls until ready to eat.

Tips for Making Low-Carb Sausage Balls

This recipe is easy to customize a bit based on your preferences. You can use spicy sausage to add a kick or switch up the cheese for another flavor combination. My personal favorite is spicy sausage and sharp cheddar cheese.
Sausage balls freeze very well. When ready to eat, reheat for 20-second intervals in the microwave.
Sausage balls can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If serving these as an appetizer, store them in a Crockpot set to “Warm” or “Low” to keep warm.

Keto Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups

thebestketorecipes — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 01:04:21 +0000

Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups are only about 1 net carb each. This is a great breakfast meal prep recipe to make for busy weeks!

These crustless quiche muffins are perfect for busy mornings or an easy protein-packed lunch. This recipe consists of four real ingredients (the extras being salt, pepper and baking powder).

The great part is that the crustless ham and cheese quiche cups are not only easy to prepare, but they’re also budget friendly. This is the kind of meal you can double or triple and still not break the bank.

These crustless ham quiche muffins are similar to a crustless quiche in many ways. They have a light, fluffy egg batter but they are absolutely packed with ham and cheese to make them extra filling.

There is no crust and no flour so they are ultra low in carbs, which makes them a great keto breakfast option. The exact nutritional value that I calculated is about 1 net carbs per muffin, so you can enjoy more than one!

Ingredients in Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups

For these keto crustless quiche cups, you’ll need just four real ingredients (plus some seasonings):

Eggs
Heavy cream
Smoked ham
Shredded cheese (any kind)
Salt
Baking powder

Can I Add Other Mix-Ins?

Yes! You can add chopped veggies, crumbled cooked bacon, and any other mix-ins you’d like.

How to Make Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups

If you’ve never made quiche cups before, you’re in for a treat! They’re very simple to prepare:

In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Stir in the chopped ham and shredded cheese.
Spoon the mixture using a 1/4 cup measuring cup into a greased muffin tin.
Bake until the muffins have set and a toothpick comes out clean.

How to Store Crustless Quiche Cups

These convenient no-crust ham and cheese quiche cups reheat very well. They are great for meal prepping to make grab-and-go breakfasts easier.

Simply store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze these and pull them out individually over the course of 4-6 months. To protect them from freezer burn, I wrap each quiche muffin multiple times in plastic wrap, then toss into a freezer bag (squeezing all the air out). I reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm.

Tips for Making Crustless Quiche Muffins

I highly recommend using a silicone muffin pan because it will prevent the mixture from sticking and the quiche muffins will release very easily.
You can use any kind of shredded cheese you’d like in this recipe.
Try different meats if you prefer! Leftover shredded chicken, holiday turkey or ham, or even pulled pork would create interesting, flavorful variations!
Crustless quiche cups freeze well, so consider making an extra batch!

No matter where you are on your keto journey, you have probably discovered one thing: it takes a bit of work to stay on track. There are so many quick and easy meal or snack options that are high in carbs. It can be very easy to fall off the wagon. When in a rush, it is easy to grab an unhealthy breakfast option at the convenience store or bakery on the way to work.

With just a few simple steps, you can stock your fridge with these delicious egg muffins that will keep you on track with your diet. They are high in protein yet less than 1 net carb per muffin. When your fridge is stocked with these, you won’t want to stop for a donut or biscuit on the way to work!

I also love to customize these bacon, egg, and cheese muffins to suit the ingredients I have on hand, and because they freeze well I can make a big batch for future breakfasts!

Why You Will Love these Bacon and Egg Muffins

Perfect for making ahead of time. These muffins can easily be stored in a refrigerator or freezer. They’re great to prepare ahead of time when you know it is going to be a hectic week. They taste great hot or cold so you can grab them out of the fridge as you run out the door if needed.
Easy. This recipe is prepared with only requires 6 ingredients and a couple very simple steps.
Healthy. These muffins have 3.6g of protein and less than 1 net carb each!

Ingredients

To make these keto bacon egg muffins, you will need just six basic ingredients:

Eggs, large: You can use egg replacements if you’re egg-free. Also, if you prefer to only use egg whites, it is okay to replace with only 2 egg whites.
Cream cheese: Full- or low-fat cream cheese can be used without a significant change in the texture or flavor. Make sure you allow it to soften to room temperature before using.
Bacon: You could also use candied bacon or another meat if you prefer. Store-bought bacon bits can be used if you are short on time and looking for a quick, convenient option.
Shredded cheese: We recommend to use a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar cheese because of the sharp and slightly spicy flavor. You could use others such as havarti, Swiss, mozzarella, or another blend based on your personal preference. Easy-melting cheese works best so avoid crumbly options like blue cheese or feta.
Coconut flour (or almond flour): Coconut flour creates fluffy, light muffins. The muffins will be denser and less fluffy if using almond flour. We have used both and each version will create delicious, gluten-free, and low-carb, so choose based on your own personal preferences.
Baking powder: Adds lift and structure, making these keto egg muffins light and fluffy.

How to Make Bacon Egg Muffins

This grab-and-go breakfast comes together easily and makes a pretty big batch without a ton of work! Here’s a look at how the low-carb breakfast muffins come together:

Mix the ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Then mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. After well combined, let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so that the coconut flour can absorb the moisture.

Bake

Spray a mini muffin pan and fill each cup until each is about 3/4 full. Bake until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before popping out of the pan.

Serve

Once you have removed them from the pan, they are ready to serve. Yes, it really is that easy!

Can Egg Muffins Be Meal Prepped?

Absolutely, these keto bacon and egg muffins are perfect for meal prepping! This easy low-carb breakfast dish allows you to quickly grab a bite without much work or thought. It makes the whole day start so much smoother, and you won’t skip eating just because you can’t find something low enough in carbs.

How to Store and Reheat Bacon Egg Muffins

Reheating Instructions: To reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals until muffins are warmed throughout. This may be done from frozen or after thawing at room temperature for 2-3 hours or in the fridge overnight.
Refrigerator Storage: These keto egg muffins with bacon can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days in the refrigerator. Allow them to completely cool before placing in an airtight container.
Freezer Storage: They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Do I Have to Make Muffins?

No, you can bake the egg mixture in a 9-inch baking pan instead. Note that the bake time may need to be increased.

Tips for Making the Best Bacon Egg Muffin Cups

These bacon, egg, and cheese muffins freeze well and are easily customizable. Make a batch for each member of the household so anyone can pull one out to tide them over until lunch time!
Use a silicone muffin tray. A regular muffin tin will work but a silicone muffin tray is easier to clean up which will save you even more time!
Use any cheese you’d like to make this recipe such as Swiss, cheddar, gouda, or Colby jack. Pepper jack is great if you food with a little heat! Likewise, you can use any kind of bacon.
If you’re out of bacon, feel free to swap in browned, crumbled sausage. Diced ham also works well.
