Fat bombs are a staple for many that are on a ketogenic diet. With the ease of being able to hit your macro goals with something delicious that's almost entirely made from fat, there's definitely a reason to see why they're so popular. Usually when I make fat bombs, I'll make something frozen - but I like having a bit of a change. So, I decided to make some chocolate covered macaroons! These little macaroons are sweet, gooey, and a delight with every bite. Each macaroon has a ...

Pumpkin isn’t just for fall inspired recipes, it can also be added to baked goods to give them some extra moisture and fiber. These keto breakfast muffins are rich, hearty and moist, while low in carbs and high in fiber thanks to their flaxseed base and wholesome ingredients. Each one delivers rich, dark chocolate taste with a hint of caramel (thanks to Torani’s sugar free syrup!). They’re a great way to start your day and keep you full until lunch time. If you don’t have slivered almonds, ...

Chocolate and peanut butter are just a match that are made to be together (cue Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake). It's rich, it's amazingly tasty, and it's something you just have to try for yourself! These chocolate peanut butter tarts are incredibly rich and filling. Each one is made to share and is full of fat and have lots of fiber. They’re made with a flaxseed crust and a delicious layer of peanut butter. Over top, the key ingredient for the rich, velvety texture is avocado! Avocado is ...

With school starting and everyone revving up to wake early in the morning, I thought that some peanut butter bars would be the perfect thing to share with everyone. These bars are fantastic to pack in a lunchbox for either school or work, and they double as an extremely tasty dessert. Chocolate and peanut butter is just a plain classic combination. Everyone seems to love it, and it's always a hit when I serve it to guests. The bitter dark chocolate plays with the sweet peanut butter fudge ...

Keto Mocha Ice Cream

This is one of the simplest ice cream recipes that I know of when it comes to keto. You don't have to make a custard, you don't have to freeze or refrigerate the mixture before adding it to your ice cream machine, and you don't have to wait around to temper anything. It's simply blend, add, and eat! I'm using a pretty fancy Gelato maker for this. It has a built in compressor, so it's also pretty expensive. My girlfriend picked it up a few years back on sale for around $120, which was a ...

Coconut macaroons hold a dear spot in my heart when it comes to sweet treats. My mom used to make coconut macaroons every new year for the celebrations - and they always disappeared within minutes. These keto friendly treats aren't exactly coconut macaroons - but they are equally as good! The other night I was craving coconut macaroons, and my girlfriend was craving cookies. So we took it together to create a mixture of the two that we could both eat and love. Hence, coconut macaroon cookies! ...

I wanted to make something extra special for Valentine's Day. This year, my girlfriend has really been craving donuts after seeing them over and over at markets, coffee shops and sports games. I decided to re-create her ultimate favorite flavor from Yo-Yo Donuts: their Cherry Chocolate Donut. They came out great! These donuts are just the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. If you've been missing out on chocolate, worry no more. ChocoPerfection is a ...

When I was a kid, my mom usually packed my lunch box with snacks and sweets that I could finish the day off with. From oatmeal cookies to honey buns, there was always tons of sugar packed inside. Well...now I guess I know why I gained so much weight in my childhood ;) One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I've been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them...but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the ...

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...

Chocolate Chunk Avocado Ice Cream

Eating avocados on a ketogenic diet is well known and done often. They're full of fats, absolutely delicious, and normally pretty easy to find. Though, eating avocados for dessert is pretty unconventional. I've made avocado-lime sorbet before, but this time I wanted to bring a whole new flavor profile to the dish - and we use cocoa powder to mask the avocado's taste without getting in the way of texture. The decadently rich and sweet flavors of the ice cream are offset by the unsweetened ...
