I love any type of muffin and raspberry is one of my favorite kinds! You can of course use blueberries or blackberries as well! This recipe makes about 16-18 muffins. I use silicone liners, or paper liners. I also fill my muffin wells 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Low Carb Raspberry Muffins
Make some with raspberry as listed, or change it up to a different berry, even chocolate chips would work!
You know those donuts you can get at the local bakery that are slathered with the maple icing…ā¦.yes, these are what I used as my memory to re-create them into low carb!
It is so close to the real thing that my kids went crazy over them!
First you need to make sure you have some Keto Maple Syrup either made with my recipe HERE, or purchased. AND you also need to make sure you have some Keto Brown Sugar made up with my recipe HERE, or purchased.
You will also need a donut pan, silicone preferred for easy removal from the pan! Non stick may not release in one piece once baked!
Using maple extract will give you the closest possible flavor to what I have created. If you sub maple syrup for the maple extract it may add too much moisture and result in runny glaze and too moist donuts. Following the recipe as stated is how you will get the results I did!

Low Carb Maple Donuts
Now you can enjoy maple glazed donuts again with this re-creation of a carby favorite! The donuts turn out moist and the glaze is perfectly set and keeps up to 5 days! This recipe makes 6 donuts. 1 donut = 8g carb // 4.2g fiber // 3.8g NET carbs --- 6g protein // 23g fat
Preheat oven to 350F and set your donut pan on a baking sheet so it is ready.
In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk well and set aside.
In a large bowl combine wet ingredients: eggs, heavy cream, keto maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla.
While whisking the wet ingredients, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Whisk well until batter is smooth.
Now put all of the batter into a piping bag, or use the corner end of a gallon ziploc bag. Pipe batter evenly into each donut well in your pan. Smack pan on the counter to release any bubbles in batter and to make it even.
Bake 20-25 minutes until it is set and lightly golden.
Let donuts cool in pan for 5 minutes before slowly turning onto a cooling rack with a pan underneath. Make your glaze!
In a small saucepan add all of the glaze ingredients and heat over medium heat while whisking until it is completely smooth and thin.
In a quick motion, drizzle glaze over each donut. It works best to follow the golden circle on the donut so you cover it as evenly as possible. You MUST do this in a swift motion as the glaze will harden and crystallize in the pan before you are able to coat them all if you take too long. If it hardens in the pan before you are able to coat them all, reheat and try again with the remaining amount.
Donuts keep on the counter for 1-2 days. For longer storage keep in fridge up to 5 days.
You have all heard of the chocolate raspberry combination and have most likely heard of cakes baking in the oven, but IN THE CROCKPOT?
Yes, it is possible with my Low Carb recipe that not only features the crock pot, but also this very tasty sugar free Raspberry Syrup from Natures Hollow!
I was thrilled to learn of this great syrup and MOST thrilled to know that it worked in my baking as well!
Now you are getting ANOTHER treat from my newest cookbook “Chaffles, Cast Iron and The Crock”!

I have another pancake recipe called Keto Blender Pancake Recipe , but it uses cream cheese and the blender, which usually is not a problem, but I wanted to re-create the pancakes that mix in a bowl!
Spring is approaching and it has gotten me thinking of recipes I can have on hand for camping season!
This recipe works out well for any mix and pour situation! Another nice thing about these is that the texture is improved with the mixing of the flours in the base š
They also re-heat well in a toaster!

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan
Serve up this quick dinner on a weeknight as the only hands on time is a little frying in the pan! There is even a sauce that is made in the pan without sugar!
Slice chicken breasts lengthwise. In a small bowl whisk eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
Add to a shallow bowl. Allow chicken cutlets to sit in the egg mixture, rotating to coat.
Allow to sit 15 minutes covered.
Chicken Breading
In a shallow bowl mix together the pork rinds, almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder and onion powder.
Dip chicken in crumb mixture one at a time after letting the egg wash drip away a bit before covering in the breading.
Flip and press lightly to coat the other side. Place the chicken cutlets on a baking sheet. Let them sit for 5 minutes while you heat up the frying oil in an oven proof skillet. The oil will be at the correct temperature when the end of a wooden spoon forms bubbles when placed in the oil.
Fry each cutlet for 5 minutes on each side with the oil at a medium temperature. Remove from the skillet once they are all fried. Remove oil from the pan and wipe clean.
Marinara Sauce
Dump all sauce ingredients in the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Assembling the dish
Now with the marinara sauce in the oven proof skillet, put the chicken cutlets in the sauce.
Spoon the sauce over the cutlets so they are covered. Mix all of the topping ingredients together in a small bowl then sprinkle over each cutlet in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
Recipe Notes
If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, put the cutlets in a 9x13 pan and cover with sauce, then cheese, proceed with baking the cutlets as described.
I normally do not choose to make pork chops because they are finicky and tend to be dried out if you do not watch them carefully!
Not when you coat them and bake them on a rack! The rack allows for the heat to get around the entire pork chop and not sit and get soggy!

A scone is a British baked good, usually made of wheat, or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent and baked on sheet pans. A scone is often slightly sweetened and occasionally glazed with egg wash.
These scones I made low carb when I subbed the wheat flour for part coconut and part almond flour. This lends to a tender crumb that does not break into a million crumbs when you take a biteš¤£
Now this recipe is ultra versatile as you can swap out extracts and swap out additions!
It is important to follow the steps as they are meant to be the way they are so you achieve the same results.
