Keto Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

With pumpkin season coming up, there are loads of low carb pumpkin recipes which make a great way to celebrate the fall season.

It’s easy to adapt old carby favourites, by reducing the carby ingredients (pumpkin) and increasing nourishing keto ingredients like eggs and coconut flour.

You can even make a big batch of the fluffy keto pumpkin pancakes over the weekend to enjoy as a speedy keto breakfast through the week.

When you prepare the Keto Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe, you simply whisk all of the ingredients together, except the coconut flour.

For the pumpkin flavor, you can use pumpkin pie filling, canned pumpkin puree or cook them mash real pumpkin to a puree, depending on what you can find at grocery stores near you.

You can feel free to swap the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice if you’d prefer, and also swap the stevia for monk fruit sweetener or your low carb keto diet friendly sweetener of choice.

Whisk all of the simple ingredients until smooth and then add the coconut flour to create the pancake batter.

You may need to add additional coconut flour to thicken or cream to thin the batter to perfection.

Then, it’s just a matter of frying the keto pancakes batter in a frying pan on the stove top until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.

Serve as a tasty low carb breakfast topped with sugar-free syrup, cream cheese, whipped heavy cream, sugar-free chocolate chips or indulgent keto friendly ice cream.

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe

September 22, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe – Easy Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour, Sugar Free and Gluten Free too – Simple Low Carb Baking Recipes.

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe

If you’re a fan of lemon sweet treats then you’re going to love these luscious keto lemon cookies. They are sweetened with stevia and flavored with real lemon zest and juice and are naturally low in net carbs. Perfect for fans of all things lemon to satisfy their sweet tooth.

If you haven’t worked with coconut flour before then you may be surprised that cookies need so little flour.

But, you’ll find that coconut flour is incredibly absorbent and that half a cup is the perfect volume for these low carb lemon cookies.

You can boost the flavor of the lemon cookie recipe by adding in half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of lemon extract, in addition to the fresh lemons, or vanilla extract or make a quick lemon glaze to cover the baked cookies with.

How To Make Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour

Preparing the delicious lemon cookies is really easy – you simply melt the butter, pour it into a large bowl and mix through the low-carb diet approved ingredients, one at a time.

Then you place the cookie dough onto a prepared baking tray before baking until golden. You can feel free to sprinkle macadamia nuts over the lemon keto cookies.

I’ve used stevia in place of regular sugar in the sugar-free cookies, but you can feel free to swap that for monk fruit sweetener, an erythritol blend, a low carb powdered sweetener such as powdered erythritol or any other sugar substitute you’d like that you usually include in delicious keto recipes.

You can enjoy the cookies as is or sandwiched together with whipped cream, cream cheese or even with chocolate whipped cream frosting. (Click here for the recipe!)

Keto Cauliflower Soup Recipe

September 17, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Cauliflower Soup Recipe – How To Make The Best Easy Creamy Low Carb Cauliflower Soup loaded with cheese – the best cauliflower soup ever!

Keto Cauliflower Soup Recipe

The weather has slowly become chillier, so I couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen and experiment with wintery Keto Soup Recipes hat the whole family will enjoy. This is the first success – Keto Cauliflower Soup that makes the perfect comfort food meal for chilly nights and an excellent alternative to carby potato soup.

Some recipe notes – I mixed blue cheese through my creamy soup, but feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese, sour cream or even cream cheese instead. You can also include way more than the suggested quarter of a cup for a more cheesy healthy cauliflower soup that’s full of rich flavors.

Regarding the soup liquid, I included a mixture of stock, almond milk and heavy cream. It really depends on how creamy you want your soup and how much healthy fats you want to include.

Feel free to change the ratios to suit your tastes or dietary requirements. You can easily adapt the keto soup recipe to be dairy free by swapping the dairy cream for coconut cream or coconut milk instead.

I’ve blended my soup using an immersion blender (or stick blender) because I adore a super creamy, velvety soup, but you can feel free to not blend the soup and enjoy the softened cauliflower florets in a thicker texture instead.

Keto Cauliflower Soup Recipe

1/2 Onion, peeled and diced
2-3 Garlic Cloves, peeled and diced
1 Head of Cauliflower, chopped
4 Cups Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock
Sea Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup Almond Milk (or your milk of choice)
1/4 Cup Crumbled Blue Cheese
Butter or Coconut Oil, for frying

Heat butter or coconut oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat.
When melted, add the diced onion and garlic.
Cook until lightly golden.
Add the chopped cauliflower, stock, salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is softened, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Allow to cool and blend with a handheld blender, regular blender or move to a food processor, being very careful and mindful of the hot liquid.
Return to the saucepan, pour in the milk and cream.
Bring back up to a simmer, add the cheese and bubble away for a couple of minutes.
Serve the creamy cauliflower soup and enjoy, topped with chopped green onions if you like, storing any leftovers of the healthy soup in an airtight container.

A Typical Day On The Keto Diet

September 15, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

A Typical Day On The Keto Diet – a day in the life of Low Carb & Ketogenic Diet meals

A Typical Day On The Keto Diet

When you’ve been on the keto diet, you get into a routine. Enjoying mixing and matching ingredients to create delicious meals is easy with the choice of low carb foods available.

Here’s a typical day on the keto diet, to give you ideas for meals to enjoy – whether you’re a beginner or veteran Keto follower, you’re sure to find inspiration. (Here’s my full keto food list for beginners for you.)

Day In The Life of Keto – Breakfast

Keto Breakfast Hash on a typical day on the keto diet

Breakfast usually involves fried eggs, vegetables and a couple of portions of healthy fats. In the above example, I’ve put together a Keto Breakfast Hash which includes beef mince, mushrooms, radishes and fried eggs.

You could enjoy eggs any way and with any vegetables you like on the side. To elevate the fat content, you could enjoy your breakfast with a side of avocado or sour cream.

Typical Keto Lunch

For lunch, I usually enjoy a salad. I start with a bed of greens and then top them with low carb and high fat ingredients.

For example, the above Avocado Salad is loaded with healthy fats thanks to the avocado and added flavour with feta.

Keto Dinner Ideas

Dinner can easily be adapted from regular favourites. For example, I’ll often enjoy a meaty bolognaise, but without spaghetti, or burgers with lettuce cups instead of buns.

A regular go to dinner is the above pictured Tuna Mornay. (Get the recipe here.) You simply replace carby pasta with cauliflower and you can enjoy a cheesy, comfort dish.

Low Carb Snack Ideas

If you feel the need to snack between meals, then there are loads of easy keto snack ideas. (Here are 17!)

My regulars are either strawberries and cream or hot chocolate – each being nourishing and keeping me full for hours.

A Typical Day On The Keto Diet - a day in the life of Low Carb & Ketogenic Diet meals - a look at breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Sometimes I’ll have a day similar to above, others I’ll go for vegetarian only meals for a change or intermittent fast and skip a meal.

The beauty of the Keto diet is that you can adapt to suit whatever you feel like and choose from endless meal options.

Keto Breakfast Hash

June 21, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Breakfast Hash – An easy low carb breakfast idea with radish, mushrooms, beef mince and fried eggs. Simple gluten free breakfasts for easy mornings.

Keto Breakfast Hash

There are so many variations on the Keto Breakfast Hash. The one I’m sharing today is a mish mash of ingredients I had in my fridge at the time, that came together to create breakfast perfection.

It started with a portion of beef mince, left over from making bunless burgers. I decided to brown the mince, then cook up some sliced mushrooms and radishes, along with adding tamari for flavour.

Once cooked, space was made for eggs, which were fried until cooked. The resulting breakfast was hearty and flavourful and the perfect way to start the day.

This is a combination which worked really well and one I’ll be creating again in the future. You could of course mix and match the ingredients depending on what you have in your kitchen and what you feel like enjoying in your own breakfast hash.

Keto Breakfast Hash Recipe

Beef Mince
Sliced Mushrooms
Chopped Radishes
Tamari or Soy Sauce
Eggs
Butter or Coconut Oil, for frying

Heat butter or coconut oil in a frying pan.
When hot, add the beef mince.
Cook until just browned.
Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped radishes.
Drizzle over a couple of tablespoons of Tamari.
Cook until the vegetables have browned and meat is cooked through.
Made space within the hash and crack a couple of eggs.
Fry until the eggs are done to your liking and enjoy.
