Keto Candied Walnuts Recipe

October 20, 2020 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Candied Walnuts Recipe – How to make easy low carb & sugar free roasted walnuts with cinnamon – with the video.

Keto Candied Walnuts

These Keto Candied Walnuts make delicious sweet low-carb snacks, Festive treat or tasty topping for a salad.

Walnuts are one of the best keto nuts to include in your diet that are naturally low in g net carbs and high in g fiber, g protein and healthy fats.

The best part is that you can enjoy the easy keto snacks in a number of different ways, from snacking on them by the handful to using them as a topping for keto ice cream, smoothies or a healthy yogurt bowl.

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

To make the perfect snack, you’ll need the following handful of ingredients that are all naturally low in grams of net carbs:

Walnuts – you can use sliced, chopped or halved walnuts. (Or really any healthy nuts you like in this ketogenic diet friendly recipe.)

Egg White – only an egg white is needed and gently whisked until foamy to help all of the ingredients stick to the walnuts, without the need for honey, maple syrup or other sugar loaded ingredient usually used in candied nuts.

I like to save the egg yolk in a separate bowl and use it in an omelette or scrambled eggs, so nothing is wasted.

Stevia – use stevia or your low carb keto sweetener of choice, such as monk fruit sweetener, that you usually include in keto desserts, and as little or as much as you’d like depending on how sweet you’d like your recipe to be to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Vanilla Extract & Pinch of Salt – each a great addition to balance the flavors in the sweet treat.

Cinnamon – use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, depending on how much of a rich cinnamon flavor you want with your delicious snack.

How to make low carb sugar free roasted walnuts

Keto Candied Walnuts Recipe

1 Egg – white only
1-2 Tablespoons Stevia or Sugar Substitute
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Salt
0.5 to 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
7 Ounces/200g Walnuts

Preheat the oven to 250F/120C, line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper and grease it well.
Separate the egg, moving the white to a large mixing bowl and saving the yolk to use in scrambled eggs, an omelette or another low carb diet friendly recipe.
Use a wire whisk to briefly whisk the egg white until frothy.
Add the stevia and whisk in to incorporate.
Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt and the cinnamon and whisk until fully combined.
Add the walnuts and stir through to fully coat the nuts in the sweet batter.
Move the nuts to the prepared baking tray, flattening them down so they are spaced out in a single layer.
Place into the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes baking time.
Remove from the oven, flip the nuts over and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
Remove the nuts from the oven, flip them and return to the oven for a final 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked to your liking.
Once perfectly roasted, remove from the oven, allow to cool completely to room temperature to further crisp up and then enjoy, storing leftovers in an airtight container to enjoy within a couple of days.

Ketchup – find the lowest sugar tomato sauce you can to include in your sauce.

Paprika – to add a spicy, roasted flavor to the sauce.

Salt – I like to keep it simple with just a generous shake of salt.

You can adapt the sauce and include your choice from a number of other keto friendly ingredients including:

Keto Chocolate Truffles Recipe

October 11, 2020 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Chocolate Truffles Recipe – How to make easy no bake 4 ingredient low carb and sugar free truffle balls dessert – with the video. Perfect for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or as a treat for special occasions.

Keto Chocolate Truffles

These keto chocolate truffles make an easy, decadent dessert treat that’s perfect for Christmas, Valentines Day or for all through the year when you’re craving a sweet treat.

The rich chocolate dessert makes a deliciously decadent, melt in the mouth creamy delight that will satisfy your sweet tooth craving.

Keto Truffle Ingredients

These low-carb truffles need only 4 ingredients, and below there are plenty of ideas for flavor inclusions and toppings:

Keto Chocolate – opt for 85% or 90% sugar-free chocolate or dark chocolate chips for the lowest carb and sugar content for your truffles. Lindt is always a luxurious option, but I’ve also made these with my go to ALDI 85% chocolate and they are just as divinely chocolatey, without too much added sugars.

Stevia – you can use your sugar alternatives or sweetener of choice, such as stevia or monk fruit sweetener, in this recipe. Start with less and add more to taste. If you’d like your truffles to be extra dark, then you can always leave out sweetness all together.

Butter – I usually opt for salted butter as it enhances the flavor and richness of the truffles.

Cream – use a high percentage of cream for extra creamy, delicately soft truffles, such as heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or double cream.

Swap the cream for coconut milk or coconut cream, use dairy free butter and chocolate for a chocolate truffle recipe that’s completely dairy free.

More Simple Ingredients Ideas

Sugar free truffle flavor and toppings ideas

You can keep the truffles simply chocolate flavored. Or, here are some ingredients you can choose from to flavor your low carb chocolate truffles recipe with.

You can mix the flavoring into the batter before going into the fridge. Go for 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon, depending on how strong you’d like the flavor to be:

Orange, lemon or lime zest
Sea salt
Vanilla extract
Raspberry flavor extract
Orange extract or lemon extract or essence
Rose water

You can leave the truffles without rolling or dipping into any further dusting, or you could fill a plate with one of the following options and roll your truffles in them for an extra indulgent layer:

Grated keto chocolates for added chocolate flavor
Finely chopped nuts
Unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
Shredded coconut
Melted chocolate coating

Keto Chocolate Truffles Recipe

3.5 ounces/100g Keto Chocolate
1-2 Tablespoons Stevia
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

Chop or break up the unsweetened chocolate into small pieces and place it into a mixing bowl.
Add the stevia and butter to the chocolate.
Pour the cream into a small saucepan and place it on the stove top over medium heat.
Heat the cream until almost at simmering point, then remove from heat and quickly pour the hot cream over the large bowl with the chopped chocolate.
Stir quickly so that the heat of the cream gently melts the chocolate and butter.
Mix until you have a smooth chocolate mixture, then allow the chocolate ganache to cool completely. You can taste the mixture to ensure it’s sweet enough or mix through any flavoring you like, at this point.
Once at room temperature, move the truffle mixture to the fridge for a few hours to harden.
After a few hours, remove the bowl from the fridge, remove a teaspoon of the mixture at a time and roll into chocolate truffles.
You can dip the truffles into grated chocolate, cocoa powder or your dipping of choice, place in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and enjoy.
Store the homemade truffles in the fridge and enjoy within a few days. (If they last that long!)

5 Best High Fiber Keto Foods

These 5 best high fiber keto foods can easily be incorporated into your daily meals in plenty of tasty ways.

It’s important that you’re getting enough fiber, which can be difficult when you’re on a low carb diet like the keto diet. Fiber helps regulate your blood sugars, among other benefits. (Source.)

So, being aware of the best foods to consume that are high in fiber as well as keto friendly, will help you meet your daily fiber intake requirements and keep you healthy.

Important Note – if you’re concerned about your fiber intake for any reason, please speak to your Doctor or chosen health professional to ensure you’re healthy – and stay that way.

1. Avocado

High fiber keto foods - avocado, spinach and raspberry salad

Avocado is the ultimate low carb and high fiber food – it’s packed full of nutritious fiber and healthy fats.

Here are some keto friendly ways to incorporate avocado into your meals:

Sliced, as a side with fried eggs for breakfast
Halved and topped with feta and salt as a snack

I try and include a portion of vegetables in every meal, here are some ideas for you:

4. Nuts & Seeds

Nuts and seeds are naturally high in protein and fiber too. Just be careful to exercise portion control – especially when snacking on nuts by the handful, carbs can quickly add up. (Here’s a list of the best keto nuts and seeds.)

Here are some keto ideas to include nutritious nuts and seeds in your meals:

Sprinkled on top of low carb yogurt
Keto Candied Walnuts

Keto Pumpkin Brownies Recipe

September 29, 2020 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Pumpkin Brownies Recipe – Easy Flourless Low Carb, Sugar Free & Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Dessert with pumpkin and coconut flour – plus the video.

Keto Pumpkin Brownies

These keto pumpkin brownies are a decadent sweet treat to make during pumpkin season when you’re craving all things pumpkin.

They are dark, chocolatey and naturally sweetened thanks to the inclusion of pumpkin puree that has natural sugar flavor.

For the puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree – just make sure that it’s unsweetened. Or, make homemade pumpkin puree yourself by boiling or roasting pumpkin, allowing it to cool and then blend the sweet flesh to a puree in a food processor.

For the dark chocolate in the chocolate brownies, you can use whatever low carb, keto friendly chocolate you usually include in your keto diet. I find that 85%, 90% or higher tends to be the lowest in carbs and sugars.

You can break up a block of chocolate or use chocolate chips in the keto brownies.

If you’d like, you can add in a few tablespoons of cocoa powder or raw cacao powder for added chocolate flavor or swirl almond butter or peanut butter through the brownie batter for peanut butter swirl sugar free pumpkin brownies.

For spiced traditional brownies for the holiday season, add in a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie mix or pumpkin spice blend.

You can enjoy the ketogenic diet friendly flourless brownies as the perfect fall dessert topped with keto chocolate whipped cream frosting.

Easy low carb brownies topped with frosting

Easy Keto Granola Recipe

September 25, 2020 by Easy Keto Living

Easy Keto Granola Recipe – How to make low carb high protein nutty chocolate breakfast cereal with the video.

Easy Keto Granola Recipe

This easy chocolate granola recipe is nutty, chocolatey and makes an indulgent breakfast treat.

A while back I shared another simple low carb granola recipe which has been really popular on the blog. So, I set about to create a chocolate version, complete with crunchy clusters.

Low Carb Granola Ingredients

Here are the ingredients that you’ll need for this recipe, most of them are easy to find at Amazon or even budget friendly ALDI.

Seeds – I find that bulking out the granola with sunflower seeds helps keep the granola budget friendly.

Nuts – almonds and cashews are included in this particular recipe. You can feel free to include any chopped nuts you like, instead.

Coconut – to add in sweetness, texture and coconut flavor.

Mixing the ingredients together in a bowl

Stevia – or you sweetener of choice to sweeten the granola without adding sugars or carbs.

Chocolate – I’ve included both cocoa powder and cacao nibs for an intense chocolate hit through the granola.

Coconut Oil – to help bind the granola together and add healthy fats.

Easy Keto Granola Recipe

1 Cup Sunflower Seeds
1/4 Cup Chopped Cashews
1/4 Cup Chopped or Sliced Almonds
2 Tablespoons Stevia
2 Tablespoons Shredded Coconut
1 Tablespoon Cacao Nibs
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil

Preheat the oven to 250F/100C and line a baking tray with parchment paper and grease it well.
In a large bowl, combine together all of the ingredients except the coconut oil and stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan melt the coconut oil and then pour it over the granola mixture.
Pour the granola mixture onto the prepared baking tray and flatten it down so that it’s all in a single layer.
Move the granola to the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, toss the granola and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes and toss the granola once again.
Cook for a final 20 minutes or until golden and cooked to your liking.
Once done, remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool . The longer you leave the granola, the more clusters will form.
When you’re happy the granola is cool enough, break it into clusters.
Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container and enjoy with low carb milk or yogurt.
