Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesKeto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies. I have, over the last eight years, tried more than several “supposed” low carb “moist brownies” only to be sadly disappointed one more time.  A while ago I posted a Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Balls cookie recipe using this exact same batter and the cookies, if not over done, were like fudge in the center. Thinking if the cookies were so fudgy what if I tried the same batter for brownies.  Did it work…Oh yeah, it sure did. The only other brownie recipe you will find on this site are Mocha Zucchini Brownies-Mocha Ganache but the reason these Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies might be so much better is that it is a dump & mix recipe and there are not many of them unless you do some kind of boxed mix. (Ugh)  This was just the first time I tried making these but the next time (if there is one) I am going to put the coffee ganache on them instead of the plain ole ganache I made.  I hope you can tell from the picture above how seriously moist these look because they are as stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth as any other really good brownie and I think the secret is all the oils in almond butter and tahini, I mean, come on. I believe these low carb tahini almond butter walnut brownies are absolutely the best.

I did make a batch of mocha brownies so I added a couple more pics.  Notice the nooks & crannies after baking which are filled with the ganache and I also allowed the ganache to drip over the edges which in my opinion keeps these moist brownies even more so.

Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies
Print
Brownies
  1. ½ C Almond Butter
  2. ½ C Tahini
  3. 2 Eggs
  4. 2 T Cocoa Powder
  5. 2 T Peanut Flour***
  6. 2 T Water
  7. 1 T Melted Butter
  8. 1 C Allulose***
  9. 2 t Vanilla
  10. 1 t Baking Soda
  11. ½ C Chopped Walnuts
Ganache
  1. ½ C 40% Heavy Cream
  2. ⅓ C Good Chocolate Bar Cut Into Small Pieces.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Minus the walnuts dump everything else into a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine with an electric mixer.
  3. Fold in nuts.
  4. This batter is so thick you will need to push it into a paper lined 8x8 pan with a couple of fingers.
  5. Bake 12-13 minutes and no longer. You can’t tell that they are done but better a bit under-done than a bit over-done if you want them to be fudgy.
Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream to simmer and keep your eyes on it-you don't want to boil it or you will have a huge mess on your hands.
  2. I put my chocolate into the microwave on med-low for 20 sec, stir, and repeat until it is just beginning to melt.
  3. Add hot heavy cream to chocolate and stir constantly until all chocolate is melted and incorporated.
  4. Let brownies cool just a bit, cover & spread with ganache and cool in the refrigrator until ganache is set.
  5. Carefully lift brownies out of pan, cut & serve. You're in for a treat.
  6. 12 Servings
  7. 233 Calories, 6.9g Protein, 21.7g Fat, 7.1g Carbs, 3.5g Fiber, 3.6g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I used Endangered Species 88% chocolate bar in my ganache.
  2. Notice that the fat content is 195 of the 233 calories. That's 84% Fat.
  3. If you want mocha brownies add ½ t instant coffee to mix and then add 1 t to ganache. I also added 2 drops EZSweetz into ganache with the coffee.
  4. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  5. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Low Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes.  All of the taste and zero carb crêpes instead of who know how many from two 6″ flour tortillas-I think maybe about 18-20g and they taste for all the world just like a good shrimp taco should taste. Hoping that you are able to see from all the crêpes recipes I have recently posted that you can put a whole lot more than just ham and cheese in them. Those white sticks in the background on the plate are jicama sticks sprinkled with lime juice and chili powder and they are so, so good.  You will need one recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes  and if you are so inclined to make your own here is a good recipe for Taco Seasoning which is so much less expensive than the purchased kind and which may have sugar in it.

Don’t make the mistake of using imitation seafood anything.  It is NOT low carb.  It is filled with starch as a binder and has 13g carbs in 3 measly oz.  I made the mistake and paid for it in my BS testing after dinner and I couldn’t figure out why and/but…now I know.

Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesLow Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesKeto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes.  I doubt there are too many people in this country who have never had either Mu Shu Pork or Peking Duck at one time or another in their lives and the predominate flavor in both is Hoisin Sauce.  In most restaurants all the ingredients are cooked in a wok, bound together with egg and served in a large bowl with a side of Chinese pancakes which is fine if that’s what you know but it is my opinion that people love to make their own food at a communal table and this is the perfect meal with which to do it.  It does not take much of each ingredient to make one crêpe and if served in small bowls on the table, each person can pick and choose their own ingredients.  And there is a big bonus, you can actually taste each flavor.  Soooo with all that said, I am going to show you two ways to fix this.  One is probably just as good as the other but the second way is…a lot faster and sometimes when we are putting a meal on the table, faster is better.

You will need a recipe for both Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and Hoisin Sauce.  It is also my opinion that once you have made both of these Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes recipes you will make them again and again as there are so many recipes, just on this site alone that use them, and of course you are welcome to make up your own.

I have now made a completely Separate Crepes Category for the many crêpe recipes I am developing but for now here are a few of them.  Raspberry Almond Crêpes,  Crab Rangoon Bundles/Asian Drizzle,  Chicken Enchiladas,  Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas and more.

Low Carb Lox And Cream Cheese CrêpesLow Carb Lox And Cream Cheese CrêpesLow Carb Lox And Cream Cheese CrêpesLow Carb Lox And Cream Cheese CrêpesLow Carb Lox And Cream Cheese Crêpes.  I haven’t had any lox for a long time and it’s not because I don’t love it, it’s because I already have so many other wonderful lowcarb things to eat.  Life is not boring in the small village of Kruegerville. I would normally have this concoction on one of my Low Carb Carbalose English Muffins but this is an even lower carb keto version without the Carbalose Flour.  Nearly all the same ingredients, just presented in a different form so instead of even the few carbs in the muffins there are zero in the crêpes.  They are easy to make and fun to eat to your heart’s content. I now have a whole catagory of Crêpes listed to the right.  Some are savory and some are sweet.  These Low Carb Lox And Cream Cheese Crêpes are very versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and you will need a recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes.

Low Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll CrepesLow Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes. If you can make Carbalose Flour Cinnamon Walnut Rolls why can’t you put the same tastes into a crepe?  Well you can.  I just love that every little bite looks like a cinnamon walnut roll.  Again, very easy and fast to make and you will need a recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes.

 

It is always fun to come up with something new and this was no exception but the bottom line question is always; will they taste good.  I’m glad you asked and well yes, they do and…low carb cinnamon walnut roll crepes are a lot easier than the walnut rolls, and I mean a lot.

Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crepes
  2. 1½ C Small Chopped Walnuts (Pecans Work Just As Well)(Save A Little Nut Dust For Garnish)
  3. 2 t Cinnamon
  4. ¾ C Allulose*** 18 Drops Liquid Sucralose*** Or Your Own Favorite Sweetener
  5. 12 Oz Softened Cream Cheese (Divided )
  6. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  7. ¼ C Heavy Cream + More If Needed To Make A Thin Drizzle
Instructions
  1. Add nuts and cinnamon to a small processor and chop until relatively small. (See Picture). You don’t want to grind it just a fine chop. If you overdo it, don’t worry and the final product would probably look about the same. Reserve 2 T.
  2. Beat cream cheese, Allulose*** or 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose*** or your favorite sweetener, and vanilla.
  3. Mix in heavy cream and reserve ¼ C.
  4. Lay out crepes, smear with thin layer of the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Top with 2 T nut mixture and roll crepe.
  6. Add enough heavy cream (or water) to thin remaining ¼ C cream cheese mixture and drizzle onto crepes.
  7. Sprinkle with remaining 2 T nuts.
  8. 12 Servings
  9. 330 Calories, 8.0g Protein, 37.4g Fat, 5.3g Carbs, 3.0g Fiber, 2.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I got so excited to try these that I didn’t get enough heavy cream as a thinning agent in the drizzle so I just kind of frosted them but for you? It should be thin enough to drizzle so if you need more heavy cream by all means use it.
  2. Hope you can see the size of the nut grind. You don’t want nut dust just very small and I have a mini processor that has a chop speed which I pulse with until I get what I want.
  3. Nutritionals include crepes.

Low Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes

Low Carb Strawberry Orange CrêpesLow Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes.  You’ll not see the orange in these but you sure as heck will be able to taste it.  I love crêpes and in fact I am going to try to post maybe 18-20 recipes for them.  With the advent of my Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes I can now have crêpes any which way but loose-and actually…loose too.  They can be savory as well as sweetened and yes, I like them both ways.  It’s always easier to start with the sweet stuff because it is what grabs peoples attention first but there really aren’t that many of them as most are savory and begin to think Enchiladas.  You know, I have to eat the recipes I test and I have to say, not only are these low carb strawberry orange crêpes easy to eat, they are also easy to make.

Keto Peruvian Green Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Peruvian Green SauceLow Carb Peruvian Green SauceKeto Peruvian Green Sauce.  This sauce is ridiculously easy and fast to make-probably not more that 5-10 minutes but oh boy, the flavors.  Real Keto Peruvian Green Sauce may not have any cheese in it and if you don’t want it, don’t put it in.  This is best served with fish or chicken but it also makes a fabulous salad dressing and for the dressing the Parmesan cheese is a must. As you look at the nutritionals it is basically a free keto food as in ZeroCarb.

Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients except mayo into food processor, process several times scrapping each time until finely ground.
  2. Put into small mixing bowl, add mayo and blend well.
  3. Refrigerate for at least several hours.

  2. If you are making this as a salad dressing the Parmesan cheese is pretty essential.

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts. A pretty study in the Italian flag colors of red, white, and green.  It is ridiculous that I have never posted a recipe for Chicken Parmesan but I am only human and as I was doing the Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts I realized instead of doing this over something like spaghetti squash why not also make a low carb chicken Parmesan over mung bean sprouts too. Heaven only knows how many recipes I have replaced flour using pork skins but this is at least the latest.  You need to trust me on this, fried pork skins keep EVERYTHING moist.  I have said I fry my own pellets but you can easily enough buy pork skins and even buy the ground Pork Dust here.  This is a very simple & easy recipe and I can’t imagine what the carb difference would be between real pasta and mung bean sprouts but I do know this, I can eat sprouts and I can’t eat pasta.

Low Carb Stir Fried Mung Bean Sprouts

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts SaladLow Carb Mung Bean Sprouts SaladKeto Bean Sprouts Salad.  What in heaven’s name do you do with a big ole bag of beautiful white mung bean sprouts when you have purchased them and only needed a small amount?  Most people let them sit in their refrigerator for 5-6 days while they turn to…but you don’t need to, not anymore.  This recipe goes right from fresh leftover sprouts to a warm side dish or a cold salad-your choice.  I think once you have had them you will be buying sprouts just to make this dish as it is that good.  You might call keto bean sprouts salad a little side dish of Asia.

Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl

Leave a reply

Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp BowlLow Carb Vietnamese Shrimp BowlLow Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl.  I ended up making this with a bunch of leftovers and it was so good I decided to do a recipe with it.  I was originally going to use pulled pork in it but wondered how many people have pulled pork just hanging around so decided to leave it out, substituting avocado instead.  Everything else is pretty reasonably and easily gotten. We all do a little experimenting from time to time and of course, so do I.  The difference is, I have to eat what I make and if it’s not right I need to do it over…and eat it again so…I have included the pics from the first try as a wrap.

The wraps were so good…and so messy, that I redid it as a bowl.  I have also included a sketch I did to figure out the color scheme and where I wanted to place everything and as you can see, the pulled pork didn’t make the final cut. I rearranged things-again for the final picture.  Did I have trouble making and having to eat this again?  Nope. Not. At. All.  I used bibb lettuce for the wrap but since I always have bok choy (my lettuce of choice) I used it in the bowl.

It is now the dog days of August and though this Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl is a perfect anytime dinner dish, you will not need to do any cooking except to do a quick blanch with the bean sprouts.  After eating?  You might think you just stepped out of a Vietnamese restaurant.

It’s just a list of ingredients and comes together very quickly.  You may have a little dressing left over but don’t worry, it would last a long time in the fridge and once you have eaten it, it would disappear very quickly.  Make no mistake, this is a complete and filling meal and if you want to make any substitutions please do, as this is cooking-not baking and a salad is always just a guide.  If you can’t get fresh mint then please try to include a little dried mint into the dressing as it enhances the flavors very well and kind of bring the whole bowl together.

So, what do you do with your leftover mung bean sprouts?  I have the answer :  Mung Bean Sprouts Salad served either warm as a vegetable or cold as a salad.
