Cinnamon Roll Chaffle

Annie — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 11:00:34 +0000

These Cinnamon Roll Chaffles are going to be your go to for a keto breakfast! At only 2 net carbs including the cream cheese icing, you’ll love these for low carb meal prep!

Cinnamon Chaffles

I love Keto Cinnamon Rolls but sometimes my mornings just don’t allow me to make them. These flavorful Cinnamon Chaffles take a fraction of the time, and are just as satisfying! These indulgent chaffles are so easy to make and freeze very well, making them perfect for keto meal prep. They also only have about 2 net carbs, so you can enjoy a sweet meal guilt free!

These chaffles are full of flavor. The warm cinnamon makes every bite so delicious, and the sugar free cream cheese icing is the perfect topping. Your family will not believe how delicious these chaffles are, and you’ll never go back to store bought waffles! For more sweet chaffle ideas, check out Everything You Need to Know about Chaffles!

Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Chaffles

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Cinnamon Chaffles. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page. For the Cinnamon Roll Chaffles:

Eggs, Almond flour, Baking powder, Keto sweetener, Vanilla extract, Cinnamon
Mozzarella, Cream cheese

How to make chaffles with cinnamon

First, preheat your waffle maker. Beat your eggs and add the rest of the ingredients- mix well. Spray your waffle maker with nonstick spray and add your mixture. I recommend filling until about 2/3rd of the way full, or about 1/8 of a cup. Cook until the steam stops coming out of the waffle maker- for me, this was about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining mixture. This does make a softer chaffle, but you can toast them or put them in the Air Fryer if you prefer a crispier texture.

For the icing, add your cream cheese, heavy cream and powdered swerve into a blender and blend until smooth. Next, combine the cinnamon and monkfruit. Top your cinnamon chaffle with the icing and the monkfruit mixture.

Do you taste the cheese?

No, you definitely do not taste the cheese. I know it sounds like an odd combo, but trust me! These chaffles are great! If you new to the world of chaffle this Basic Chaffle recipe is a great way to experiment. These are great eaten as traditional waffles, as bread for sandwiches, or make a great appetizer!

Do chaffles get crispy?

Savory chaffles, like Jalapeno Cheddar Chaffles, tend to crisp up as they cool. Since these cinnamon chaffles have more cream cheese than mozzarella, they stay softer than traditional chaffles. To make your low carb chaffles crispy, just pop into your toaster or Air Fryer!

What to serve with chaffles

These are the perfect breakfast for a buffet or whenever you have company. I served mine with these Keto Cinnamon Frappuccinos, but I also think a Keto Caramel Frappuccino would be so good with these. Serve with Air Fryer Sausage, Sausage Cheese Keto Egg Muffins, Easy Frittata or a Breakfast Chaffle Bowl!

These five ingredient Sausage Cheese Keto Egg Muffins are less than 1 net carb each! This easy low carb breakfast recipe is great for keto meal prep!

What is an Egg Muffin?

An egg muffin is basically a crustless quiche, and miniature! An egg muffin is a mixture of egg, cheese, protein or vegetable all baked in a convenient grab-and-go style muffin. These little savory cups are great for breakfast, but they also make a delicious lunch option!

How many carbs are in Keto Egg Muffins?

These protein packed beauties come in at less than one net carb each! Each egg muffin has 0.9 net carbs. You can find the complete nutritional information under the recipe and instructions in the recipe card below.

Ingredients for Keto Egg Muffins

Here is a list of the ingredients used for Keto Egg Muffins. As always, there is a detailed recipe card below.

Eggs- size large
Heavy cream- if you only have half and half, that will work fine
Salt, Pepper, Baking powder
Breakfast sausage- cooked
Shredded cheese- cheddar, swiss, or pepper jack are all good options

How do you make Egg Muffin Cups?

Combine the eggs, cream, baking powder, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
Next, stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, put your batter into a greased muffin pan (see tips below). Finally, bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees F. When your muffins have set and you can put a toothpick in and it comes out clean, you’re ready to enjoy!

What kind of pan should I use?

This recipe is formulated to make 12 standard egg muffins. Alternatively, you can make 24 mini muffins. You can use metal or silicone. If you prefer to use liners, that will work fine as well but wasn’t necessary for mine.

Tips for the best Keto Egg Muffins

If you do not have a really good nonstick muffin tin I recommend using a silicone muffin tin. This will keep your eggs from sticking, and they come out very easily.
Be sure to really combine the mixture well- this will help to give you really fluffy muffins
Make these muffins yours! If sausage isn’t your favorite, try bacon, chicken, turkey or Canadian bacon.
Add veggies! Bell peppers, tomatoes or asparagus would be delicious in these muffins

How to freeze Breakfast Egg Muffins

These egg muffins are good to go into the freezer for up to three months. Allow the egg muffins to cool completely, then freeze (not touching) on a baking sheet or plate. After 1-2 hours, place the muffins in a freezer safe bag. Be sure to write the date that you froze your muffins on the front.

If freezer burn is a frequent problem with your freezer or you plan to keep them frozen the entire three months, you may want to wrap each muffin in plastic wrap to protect them.

How to store and reheat Keto Egg Muffins

These egg muffins are good in the fridge for three days. They can be stored in either an airtight bag or a Tupperware container. To reheat, place in the microwave and heat in thirty second increments or until the desired temperature is reached.

What is a Chaffle?

While the term chaffle may be new to some, most of you probably know it as a “cheese waffle.” The term chaffle came to be because this is a waffle that is made from a cheese base. Most chaffle recipes contain some variety of egg, cheese and a low carb flour, such as coconut or almond flour.

The mixture may sound off, but I can assure you, they make perfectly crisp waffles on the outside and delightfully fluffy waffles on the inside! For more chaffle ideas and recipes, check out this post – Everything You Should Know about Chaffles!

You can make a chaffle with any waffle maker you have. However, I do love this handy little Ms. Dash waffle maker, they are the perfect size. This is the machine I used for this recipe and it makes 5 perfect waffles.

Spices: garlic salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley
Low-carb marinara

Is Marinara Sauce Keto Friendly?

Generally not, as most brands add too much sugar to the sauce to fit within a low-carb diet. However, nowadays there are some great keto options available. For example, Rao’s do a lovely marinara sauce containing minimal sugar and net carbs.

How to Make Keto Mozzarella Sticks

Never made mozzarella sticks before? Don’t worry, it’s easy! Here’s an overview of how to make mozzarella sticks without bread crumbs:

First, you’ll need to prepare three bowls. One with a mixture of almond flour, garlic powder and garlic salt. one with the beaten eggs. And one with the pork rind panko, parsley and Italian seasoning.

Roll the cheese sticks in the almond flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the pork rind panko.
Place each breaded cheesestick on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer. Freeze at least 2 hours.
When ready to cook, add enough oil to cover 2 inches of a small pot to medium heat.
Cook 2-3 keto cheese sticks at a time, using tongs to rotate. Cook 3-4 minutes until the outside has browned.

Can Mozzarella Sticks Be Made in an Air Fryer?

Yes! To make keto air fryer mozzarella sticks, do the following:

Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F.
Add the frozen cheese sticks to the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Cook 5 minutes.

Dipping Sauces for Mozzarella Sticks

Not a fan of marinara? No problem! These keto cheese sticks are equally as delicious on their own or with another dipping sauce of your choice — sweet chili is a popular accompaniment for mozzarella sticks.

Or, you could serve up your mozzarella sticks with a gorgeous homemade dip. For an extra kick, give this Jalapeño Ranch Dip a try.

What Goes With Mozzarella Sticks?

Keto mozzarella sticks make the perfect appetizer, but are also great served with a fresh salad. Here are some suggestions of what to serve with mozzarella sticks:

Tips for the Best Low-Carb Mozzarella Sticks

When dipping the cheese sticks into the coatings, use your fingers to press the mixture tightly to the cheese. Make sure each cheese stick is covered completely.
You can also dip each cheese stick in the egg and back into the pork rind panko mixture if you need to cover them better.
You must freeze the mozzarella sticks prior to frying them. This ensures that the keto breading stays put and doesn’t slide off and burn.

These Keto Pepperoni Pizza Bites are another perfect finger food for your next party!

Perfect Keto Pie Crust (Almond Flour Pie Crust)

Annie — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 17:15:14 +0000

This is the perfect Almond Flour Pie Crust recipe! This buttery keto pie crust is perfectly flakey. This can be used in all of your favorite sweet and savory low-carb recipes!

I’m so excited to share this keto pie crust recipe with you today! I began working on this several months ago when I wanted to create the perfect keto quiche.

While I had made quiche using fat head dough, it just didn’t quite satisfy my craving. I think part of what makes a quiche so fabulous is the buttery, flakey crust that balances the smooth egg filling.

So, my quest to create the perfect keto pie crust began. In this post, I’m sharing all my tips and tricks for making the best almond flour crust every single time!

Ingredients in Almond Flour Pie Crust

Because this keto pie crust is made with almond flour, it’s naturally gluten-free and low-carb. Here’s what you’ll need for the almond pie crust:

Almond flour
Salt
Butter
Cream Cheese
Egg
Apple Cider Vinegar (creates a crisp, flakey texture)

Can I Substitute the Almond Flour?

No, this keto crust recipe works best with almond flour. I do not recommend substituting it. Likewise, make sure to buy almond flour and NOT almond meal.

Can I Use Low-Fat Cream Cheese?

Possibly, but I recommend using brick-style, full-fat cream cheese for best results.

How to Make Almond Flour Pie Crust

To make this low-carb pie crust, you just need a few basic ingredients and a mixer or food processor. If you do not have a mixer, I have also included instructions to make this crust by hand below.

Step 1: Add the almond flour, salt, cubbed butter, and cubbed cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.

Step 2: Mix the crust until the butter and cream cheese begin to break down and it resembles course sand.

Step 3: Add the egg and apple cider vinegar and mix until smooth. The dough will be sticky.

You can add additional almond flour to your hands or lightly wet your hands to make this easier to work with.

Step 4: Roll the mixture into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap.

Step 5: Chill in the fridge for at least two hours to allow the butter to harden. If you use the dough without chilling again, the butter will already be soft and it will not create a crispy crust.

Can I Make This Recipe Without a Mixer?

If you do not have a mixer, you can still make this crust with a little bit of elbow grease.

Combine the almond flour, salt, cubbed butter, cubbed cream cheese and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter and cream cheese into the flour.

When the mixture resembles course sand, add the egg and apple cider vinegar, use the pastry cutter a few more times to mix the dough, then switch to a silicone spatula and work until a smooth dough forms.

Can I Blind Bake the Keto Pie Crust?

Blind baking refers to pre-baking the crust, and this is not required for every recipe but some do. Often, dessert pies are blind baked until the crust is done and cooled before adding the filling.

The answer is, yes you can absolutely blind bake this keto pie crust. When blind baking this crust, I do suggest using pie weights.

If you do not have pie weights, simply line the bottom of the crust with parchment paper or foil and add dry rice or beans. This just weighs down the bottom of the crust so it does not create any bubbles and instead forms a perfect pie crust.

Tips for Making Keto Pie Crust

You must let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before rolling it out and using it. If you skip this step, the pie crust won’t hold its shape or turn out nice and flaky.
The apple cider vinegar in this recipe doesn’t affect the flavor at all. It just makes the crust flaky!
Make sure you’re using almond flour and not almond meal. They’re two separate products!

Recipes Using Almond Pie Crust:

This is an excellent all purpose almond flour crust. I use this for my favorite quiche recipes as well as decadent pies. This can also be used to line muffin tins to create smaller pies if you prefer.

Some recipes that would be keto-friendly with this crust are:

Yield: 1 pie crust

Perfect Keto Pie Crust (almond flour pie crust)

This is the Perfect Keto Pie Crust recipe! This buttery crust is made with almond flour and is perfectly flakey! This can be used in all of your favorite sweet and savory low carb recipes!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Additional Time 2 hours

Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ounce cream cheese
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 egg

Instructions

Combine almond flour, salt, butter and cream cheese in a food processor or mixer and mix until it resembles course crumbs.
Add in one egg and apple cider vinegar (this helps to achieve a crisp, flaky crust) and mix again until well combined.
Roll the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the butter time to harden again. (I like to prepare the dough the day before)
When ready to use the dough press it into the prepared pan (you can roll the dough, but it is sticky and I find it easier to press the dough into the pan)
Bake at 350 degrees

To Blind Bake

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes with pie weights. Remove pie weights and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes until set and golden brown.

Notes

To Blind Bake:
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes with pie weights. Remove pie weights and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes until set and golden brown.

For quiche: I prebake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes without pie weights. Add the quich filling and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set.

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!

What are some other easy keto breakfast recipes?

These 5 Ingredient Keto Sausage Balls are one of those super easy recipes that are perfect when you are short on time or ideas. Some other easy keto breakfast ideas are listed below, all of these combinations are under 7 net carbs.

One heaping serving of this Keto Sausage Breakfast Hash
Keto Mocha Frappuccino and three Keto Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites = just under 7 net carbs

Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

thebestketorecipes — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 12:30:01 +0000

These Keto Pumpkin Cookies come to about one net carb each! The ultimate low-carb fall dessert!

Are you ready for pumpkin season? Truthfully, I think all year is pumpkin season. It is one of my favorite flavors to bake with. I love pumpkin so much, I made this list of the Best Keto Pumpkin Recipes! My personal favorite? The Keto Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls!

When I started keto and so many fruits and veggies were limited I worried I would miss out on my pumpkin favorites. Fortunately, these Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are very low carb and fit right into my keto diet!

Ingredients Needed for Keto Pumpkin Cookies

These low-carb pumpkin cookies use a handful of basic baking ingredients. Here’s what goes into this keto fall cookie recipe:

Almond flour
Brown sugar substitute, such as Brown Sugar Swerve or Golden Monkfruit
Canned pumpkin
Baking powder
Salt
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Egg
Lily’s Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Pecans

How to Make Keto Pumpkin Cookies

As you might have guessed, these sugar-free pumpkin cookies have an almond flour and pumpkin base. Cookies need a fat — which is usually butter — to make them have a nice soft, chewy texture. However, these cookies are unique because pumpkin works in place of butter.

They feature a pumpkin dough with pumpkin spice and sprinkled with chopped pecans and low-carb dark chocolate chips. I think they have the perfect texture. Here’s how the almond flour pumpkin cookies are made:

Preheat the oven to 350F.
While the oven preheats, measure out the pumpkin puree and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Once the pumpkin is dried out somewhat, simply combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Chill the dough for 10 minutes.
Scoop the dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until done.

You can enjoy these cookies warm with the melted dark chocolate, but they are very good served chilled too.

Can I Omit the Chocolate Chips?

Of course! I made this recipe as keto pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, but you’re welcome to omit them if you’d like to make classic pumpkin cookies.

Can I Substitute the Almond Flour?

Almond flour works best in this recipe, so I can’t recommend a substitute. Coconut flour isn’t a 1:1 substitute, so don’t try using it in these cookies.

Can you freeze low carb pumpkin cookies?

Absolutely! Since this makes a pretty big batch, I freeze mine and pull them out and let them thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tips for Making Almond Flour Pumpkin Cookies

The most important step is to dry the pumpkin before you begin baking. Pumpkin has a high moisture content and to create the perfect cookie you need to allow some of the moisture to release from the canned pumpkin.

This is a very simple process:

Simply line a bowl with several layers of paper towels and spoon the 1 cup of pumpkin onto the paper towels.
Top with additional paper towels and pat down lightly.
Allow the pumpkin to rest while the oven preheats.
You need to let the pumpkin sit for 10-15 minutes.

When ready to use, the paper towels will be soaked through with moisture from the pumpkin. Simply discard the paper towels and add the pumpkin to the mixing bowl as the directions state.

Cook Time 12 minutes

Total Time 17 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup brown sugar monkfruit or Swerve
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (moisture removed, see tips below)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1/2 cup Lilly's dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup pecan pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
While the oven preheats measure out the pumpkin and place it in a paper towel lined bowl, cover with extra paper towels, pressing down lightly. Allow the pumpkin to sit for 10-15 minutes. The paper towels will absorb the extra moisture. Discard the paper towels when moisture has been absorbed.
Once the pumpkin has been dried out, combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
Chill the dough 10 minutes.
Grease a large baking sheet and use a small one inch scoop to scoop the cookie dough.
Lightly press each dough ball down so they spread out evenly as they bake.
Bake for 14-16 minutes. Allow cookies to cool before removing from the baking sheet. **Cookies will be slightly soft when you remove from the oven and firm upon cooling, do not overcook.**

Notes

This makes 24 small cookies for me.

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!

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!

How to Store and Reheat Bacon Egg Muffins

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?

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.
