These may be a slightly strange flavor combination for some, but it's truly worth a taste! The flavors all meld extremely well together, the aromatic cardamom with the sweet pumpkin puree. And, has a fantastic soft cakey texture! If you've ever been missing that moist, almost crumbly taste of an old-fashioned donut on a ketogenic diet; you've come to the right place! These little donut holes are extremely rich, so 2 or 3 is enough to really hit the spot. Though, they serve as great small ...

Salted Caramel Pork Rind Cereal
Some of you out there might be shaking your head at the idea of pork rinds, cereal, and cinnamon going together - but take a leap of faith with me. When these initially came out of the fridge, the absolute first thought that I had was "WOW, Salted Caramel Popcorn!" Seriously, these things are almost too good to be true. That said, if you're not a fan of cereal, make these and eat them as snacks. They'd go great with a late night and a movie on the side! This is such a simple and easy recipe ...

Almond Crusted Keto Quiche
I make a ton of frittatas, whether they're in muffin version, in the cast iron, or just in a casserole - they're fantastic. But I do miss that crusty crumbly pastry on the outside. So, I set out to re-create a quiche! Frittatas save extremely well for me in the fridge, lasting all week and sometimes longer, and it's the same with this! Can you say breakfast every day for the rest of the week? The only thing that I had a problem with, was the first slice. I had to ruin the crust on it to ...

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!
Valentines day is coming up and I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that comes to the site and reads the articles and recipes on here! Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back. Red Velvet Donuts are a staple Valentine's Day food that has changed pretty greatly over the years. Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...

Keto French Toast Muffins
Come on, just admit it. You haven't had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste. You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this. Keep in mind that I normally don't eat berries, and I ...

Egg and Bacon Cheese Baskets
Since I made the cheese chips recipe a while ago, I figured it was time to revisit them. This time, I wanted to use the cheese crisps as both a textural addition as well as a vessel for the food to sit on. This not only offers a deliciously crisp contrast in texture, but it also adds extreme portability to your breakfast, which is a big plus in my book! Make sure when you take your bacon out of the pan, you try to keep as much bacon fat in the pan as possible. This will allow you to cook ...

Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata
I've been wanting to do a frittata in a cast iron skillet for a long time, but could never do it. I'm so glad I finally got around to it because the crust this thing created is phenomenal. A little bit crunchy, and then a whole lot of egg, meat, and cheese. I recently got my cast iron skillet off of amazon. It's pre-seasoned, but if you buy one (and I highly suggest it), you should re-season it yourself. Wash it with only water and salt. Wipe it down with olive oil or bacon fat and bake it at ...

Low Carb Breakfast Stax
Bacon weave. Check. Eggs cooked in bacon grease. Check. Vegetables. Check. This is just a delicious and nutritious breakfast, 'nuff said. They keep well, they taste fantastic, and they're really easy to make a few at a time. Can you say new breakfast staple? I know some people have been having problems weaving their bacon, or that it's not turning out right for them. I've put together a picture tutorial on How to Weave Bacon. This goes through the whole process, as well as the importance of ...

Almond Flour & Flax Seed Pancakes
A long time ago, I used to eat steel cut oat pancakes. I used to adore them, the chunky consistency, the full body taste, and the chewy texture. While these aren't as chunky, they came pretty damn close with the satisfaction. I don't like those protein pancakes or those cream cheese pancakes that turn out more like crepes. I want a PANCAKE and there's not all that much you can do to actually get what you wish on keto. I sought out an adventure and wanted to figure out a way to get a very low ...
