The unthinkable happened. My food processor is temporarily out of commission. But I’m happy to let you know that I tested these chocolate zucchini muffins without any electrical gadgets with great success. I grated the zucchini using my hand-held metal grater and mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork. It was that …
Strawberry Ripple Frozen Yogurt
Here’s my rendition of strawberry ripple frozen yogurt. The addition of lemon and salt make this lip-smacking good. I usually prefer straight, sweet ice cream or frozen yogurt that tastes like ice cream exclusively, however this frozen yogurt tastes like strawberry ice cream. And is it me or does it seem like strawberries are available …
Pumpkin Muffins {low carb}
This is an updated version of my pumpkin muffin recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Keto Baking. This recipe is based on my original pumpkin muffin recipe that uses maple syrup or honey as a sweetener, so to make this low carb I replaced the sweetener with a low-carb sweetener and adjusted a few ingredients to …
Ice Box Cookies {almond flour}
You’re going to want to make room in your freezer for ice box cookies. They use almond flour and cocoa butter, and are both buttery and crunchy when stored in the refrigerator or freezer. The bonus is that they’re quick and easy to make and ready any time! Cocoa butter is a solid at room …
Banana Bread Cake
I stumbled upon a beautiful creation posted on an SCD Facebook page last week. It’s a banana bread birthday cake made by the one and only Sarah Miller. Sarah used my banana bread recipe using coconut flour as a birthday cake, and graciously agreed to share her photo and instructions. Thank you, Sarah! I’m a …
Lemon Blueberry Loaf {coconut flour}
I’ve got a thing for blueberries and lemons, and they definitely belong together in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf, using coconut flour. After playing around with lemon muffins and blueberries I decided to turn the recipe into a cake. This tastes very much like a lemon pound cake so if you prefer you …
Lemon Muffins {coconut flour}
I started with the intention of testing lemon juice in place of milk in my vanilla cupcake recipe, which turned into creating a recipe for lemon muffins. I kept adding more lemon juice until I discovered it’s great with about a 1/4 cup of lemon juice added to my somewhat standard coconut flour recipe ratio for …
Berry Yogurt Waffle Cones
Greek yogurt is like cheesecake to me: it’s tart, sweet, thick, and creamy. The bonus is that yogurt is rich in probiotics and healthy fat. Drizzle in some honey, add some preserves or fruit, freeze, and serve. Consume in a bowl or a waffle cone for a healthy version of, what I consider, cheesecake ice …
Almond Toffee Brownies {grain free}
One of the things I love about creating recipes is all the additions and changes that readers suggest. I feel equally happy about recipe testing and happy accidents. When a reader, Bhavna, told me about adding a cup of coffee to my blondies recipe, I immediately thought I need to try that! I only had …
Nut Butter Cream Frosting
This nut butter cream frosting is decadent. Which is why it has a post all to itself. I was going to call it “nut butter frosting” but it’s definitely a level above frosting due to the butter component, making it more like butter cream frosting. And any nut butter will work with this frosting. If …
Raw Berry Cheesecake
I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …
Baked Apples
Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert when I was young. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented …
