This Keto-friendly orange-cranberry bread and muffins recipe is inspired by vintage American classics. It uses Stevia or similar Keto sweeteners instead of sugar and Swerve powdered sweetener for the vanilla glaze. Fresh orange zest is key for flavor without adding many carbs. Dried cranberries should be used sparingly and can be chopped for better distribution. Adding orange zest and vanilla extract helps mask any egg flavors. For extra flavor, poke holes in the cooling loaf and let the glaze seep in. The addition of Greek yogurt adds moisture and a subtle tang, similar to the effect of sour cream in baked goods.

If you prefer savory over sweet at breakfast-time, try a Keto breakfast quesadilla! Instead of a corn or wheat flour tortilla, your Keto quesadilla is made with 100% colby jack cheese. The cheese cooks to the perfect texture that lets you fold it into a handheld food and can carry all your favorite quesadilla ingredients. Since it s for breakfast, your cheese quesadilla is filled with little strips of bacon and two over-medium eggs with cilantro. Served on the side of your quesadilla is a bed of fresh grilled vegetables. They re seasoned with a Southern flair in mind to go with your main course. Yes, you can keep the Keto quesadillas in your refrigerator and even microwave them to reheat! Store them in airtight containers for up to 3 days. If you keep the vegetables separately, you can store those for up to 5 days. You can substitute some ingredients and add in others to keep this Keto recipe interesting for you. If you d like to substitute the pork bacon, try using turkey bacon or even a deli-slice of turkey breast in its place. If you have any cooked shredded chicken on hand, this would also substitute well. Since there are eggs in the quesadilla, keep any other protein light. Non-protein suggestions include avocado slices, cucumber slices, or sliced bell peppers. Don t avoid this savory breakfast recipe just because you don t like runny eggs! If you only eat your eggs scrambled, just scramble them in advance. You can leave the scrambled eggs as a solid omelet or scramble them into fine pieces. Just add the scrambled eggs on its appropriate half of the quesadilla at the same time as you add the bacon. Fold the quesadilla as instructed for a yummy scrambled egg breakfast. Jessica L.
This Keto gnocchi recipe offers a delightful low-carb twist on a classic pasta dish. The gnocchi, made with almond flour, boasts a dense and chewy texture without the use of potatoes. The authentic vodka sauce, which can be easily adapted by omitting the vodka for a simple creamy tomato sauce, perfectly complements the gnocchi. A key to Keto pasta sauces is using heavy cream and adjusting the fat content by adding water to mimic half and half or milk. Remember, this Keto pasta is very filling, so a small portion goes a long way. Enjoy this as a side dish or a main course with added protein or Keto vegetables.
Grilled eggplant transforms into a creamy delight, reminiscent of potatoes, when cooked to perfection on the grill. The softened eggplant is slit open, seasoned with kosher salt, and generously drizzled with a creamy garlic tahini dressing, then topped with fresh cilantro and tangy sumac. Sumac, a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, is readily available in specialty stores and online. The key to achieving the perfect texture is cooking the eggplant until it's exceptionally soft, indicating it's cooked through. Expect the process to take approximately 20-25 minutes over medium heat, during which the eggplant will transition from firm to soft, with the skin splitting in places. This tahini dressing isn't just for eggplant; it's a fantastic addition to salads! Any leftover dressing and grilled eggplant can be blended into baba ganoush, offering another delicious vegan Keto option.

This quick and easy Keto Alfredo sauce is deliciously rich and creamy, prepped and ready in no time at all. This low carb sauce is rich in fats and flavor and makes a versatile addition to your favorite Keto meals. Once prepared, the sauce can be served over low carb pastas, roasted meats, and Keto casseroles. This is a classic flavorful sauce that the whole family will enjoy. A classic homemade Alfredo sauce is often Keto compliant, as the base of the sauce is simply cream, parmesan, garlic, and butter. However, there are many variants on an Alfredo sauce, some of which use carb-heavy flour as a thickener or milk to thin the sauce. To keep our Alfredo sauce quick and Keto friendly, we have used a combination of butter, garlic, heavy cream, soft cream cheese, and grated parmesan. This simple combination not only packs a flavor punch but also makes an incredibly smooth and creamy Alfredo sauce. This quick and easy Keto sauce is incredibly versatile and will pair well with multiple Keto meals. We love our Alfredo stirred through low carb pasta noodles or in place of a bechamel sauce in a Keto lasagna. This also makes a wonderful addition to your Keto casseroles and bakes, perfect with low carb vegetable gratins and baked meatballs. The sauce is so rich and creamy that it could even be used as a decadent dip for low carb veggies!
The newest trend is pancake cereal, so why not make a Keto recipe version of it that is kid-friendly? A simple pancake batter made from almond flour, egg, mayo, and baking powder is mixed together. The mixture is easy enough for every day, especially if you prep the dried ingredients the night before. Once the batter is made, use a small cookie scoop filled partially with batter to drop small dollops of batter into a hot pan. A stiff spatula is the easiest way to flip small pancakes. Alternatively, if you are good with chopsticks, you can flip using this utensil as well. Yes, add a little coconut oil to the pan between cooking batches of pancake cereal. Since these pancakes are so small, it is better to get the pan hot and then bring the heat down to the lowest setting to give you time to divide the batter into small pancakes. Once your pan is full of the little pancakes, you can adjust the heat up if you would like, but most likely, at that point, the first pancakes made will be ready to be flipped.
