Brownies with Almond Flour

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 4 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 3/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 2/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 2 large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt (only if using unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 8” pan.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the almond flour, powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, sea salt, and eggs. Stir together until just mixed. Fold in walnuts.
  5. Pour batter into the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips and press into the top.
  6. Bake for about 13-18 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out almost clean with just a little batter on it that balls up between your fingers. (Don’t wait for it to come out totally clean, and don't worry about any butter pooled on top - just watch the actual brownie part to be super soft but not fluid.)
  7. Cool completely before moving or cutting. There may be some butter pooled on top - do not drain it, it will absorb back in after cooling.

Keto Bagels

Keto Bagels

Ingredients

  • Bagels
  • ¾ cup (68 g) almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups grated mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • Toppings
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Sesame seeds to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 390ºF.
  2. In a bowl mix together the almond flour and xanthan gum. Then add the egg and mix together until well combined. Set aside. It will look like a doughy ball.
  3. In a pot over a medium-low heat slowly melt the cream cheese and mozzarella together and remove from heat once melted. This can be done in the microwave as well.
  4. Add your melted cheese mix to the almond flour mix and knead until well combined. The Mozzarella mix will stick together in a bit of a ball but don’t worry, persist with it. It will all eventually combine well. It’s important to get the Xanthan gum incorporated through the cheese mix. If the dough gets too tough to work, place in microwave for 10-20 seconds to warm and repeat until you have something that resembles a dough.
  5. Split your dough into 3 pieces and roll into round logs. If you have a donut pan place your logs into the pan. If not, make circles with each log and join together and place on a baking tray. Try to make sure you have nice little circles. The other way to do this is to make a ball and flatten slightly on the baking tray and cut a circle out of the middle if you have a small cookie cutter.
  6. Melt your butter and brush over the top of your bagels and sprinkle sesame seeds or your topping of choice. The butter should help the seeds stick. Garlic and onion powder or cheese make nice additions if you have them for savory bagels.
  7. Place bagels in the oven for about 18 minutes. Keep an eye on them. The tops should go golden brown.
  8. Take the bagels out of the oven and allow to cool.

Baked Lemon Chicken with Mushrooms

Baked Lemon Chicken with Mushrooms
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  3. Pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, coating each side with oil. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each chicken breast. Slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon slice on top of each chicken piece.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. Add chicken broth, stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce to reduce, adjusting with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at the last minute. Spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.
