Keto Chocolate Cake Donuts

Keto Classic Chocolate Cake Donuts

Ingredients

For Donuts

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp brewed coffee or water coffee intensifies the chocolate flavour

Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Donuts:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F and grease a donut pan very well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then stir in the cold coffee or water until well combined.
  3. Divide the batter among the wells of the donut pan. If you have a six-well donut pan, you may need to work in batches.
  4. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until the donuts are set and firm to the touch. Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze:

  1. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener and cocoa powder. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and whisk to combine.
  2. Add enough water until the glaze thins out and is of a “dippable” consistency, without being too watery.
  3. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and let set, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Notes

How many donuts you get depends on the size of your donut pan. You will likely get 8 to 10 donuts.

A FEW TIPS ON MAKING COCONUT FLOUR DONUTS:

  • Don’t skimp on the eggs! Coconut flour won’t rise without them. I have had no luck as yet making coconut flour baked goods without eggs.
  • You really can’t substitute any other flour in this recipe.
  • Grease your pan well. I think this USA Donut Pan works best. It’s so non-stick, the donuts practically fall right out!

Crock pot Cheesecake

Crock-Pot Cheesecake

Cook time:  3 hours Total time:  3 hours Serves: 8   Ingredients

  • 3 8 oz packages of ⅓ less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 cups animal crackers, pulverized into crumbs (graham crackers will work too, but this is what I had on hand)
  • 3 Tbs butter, melted
  • jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Find a bowl that fill fit inside your slow cooker, but will leave enough room for you to lift it out when finished cooking. A bowl with a lip is preferable.
  2. In a medium size bowl, mix animal cracker crumbs and melted butter.
  3. Press crumbs into the bottom of your bowl – the one that you will do the cooking in, inside the slow cooker.
  4. In a separate bool, Mix sugar and cream cheese until well blended.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix after after each addition.
  6. Add the cream cheese mixture to the top of the graham crackers.
  7. Place cheesecake dish in your slow cooker and carefully pour water around the pan. I used a cup and slowly added water, about ⅔ of the way up the cheesecake dish. Just be careful not to get water in your cheesecake.
  8. Put the lid on the Crock Pot and cook on high for 3-3.5 hours, or until the center is not watery when a butter knife is inserted into the middle.
  9. If your dish is difficult to remove from the slow cooker, without getting water in it, then try using a syringe to get some of the water out of the slow cooker, before removing.
  10. Allow cheesecake to cool on the counter for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least an hour, before serving.
  11. Serve with jam, if desired.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 cup Swerve (powdered)
  • 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 drops Lorann Pineapple oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger paste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Gather all of the ingredients first and measure them out.  This is important because once you melt the mozzarella cheese you will need to combine the ingredients quickly before it cools down.
  2. Place the Almond flour, baking powder and Swerve into a medium size bowl and mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  3. Place the Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe container and cook it on high for about a minute and a half or until the cheese is melted.  You can use a double broiler for this part if you prefer.
  4. Pour the melted cheeses mixture into the medium bowl filled with the dry ingredients.
  5. Add the eggs, fresh ginger, and Lorann Pineapple oil.
  6. Mix the ingredients until it’s fully combined.  The dough will be sticky.
  7. Place the dough on a silicone mat or parchment paper to continue kneading the dough together until if forms.  It will get less sticky the more you knead it but it will always be a bit sticky.
  8. Cut the dough into 10 even parts.
  9. Roll each part into a ball.
  10. Place the dough ball into a well greased baking pan.
  11. Bake it at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Use a knife to separate the lines before you pull each roll out of the pan.  The bottom of the rolls should have a nice brown crust.

Creative Ways to Use Leftover Chili

Too much chili? Chili is the ideal dish for leftovers, and it is just as appetizing on the second day as it was on the first. You can also ‘repurpose’ it into other dishes, so no one gets bored. Depending on the size of your family, you might even get two or three meals out of one slow cooker.

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and enjoy a second helping for lunch the next day. You may even have enough to make tasty chili dogs for tomorrow night’s dinner. Also, consider serving the chili over a bed of freshly cooked spaghetti noodles, it’s a specialty of Cincinnati and surprisingly delicious.

Stuffed Peppers in Crock Pot

Ingredients

  • 4 medium green bell peppers (or use multicolored)
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean)
  • 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cups rice (cooked)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt ​(or a Creole seasoning blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (32-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (or marinara sauce)

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, cooked rice, and seasonings until well blended.
  3. Cut the tops off of the peppers and remove the seeds and fibers.
  4. Stuff the peppers with equal portions of the ground beef and rice mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers in a crockpot; cover with the spaghetti sauce.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Or until the ground beef is thoroughly cooked and the peppers are tender.
  7. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read food thermometer into the center of the filling. It should read at least 160 F (71 C) or 165 F (74 C) for ground turkey.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Tip

  • Since the ground beef is not browned ahead of time, use a lean ratio of ground beef in this recipe.

Recipe Variations

  • Substitute 1 cup of uncooked white or brown Minute Rice for the cooked rice.
  • Instead of ground beef, use ground turkey in the filling.
  • Substitute a 14.5 -ounce can of diced tomatoes and a 10 3/4-ounce can of condensed tomato soup for the spaghetti sauce. Combine the two in a bowl and pour over the peppers.
  • Chop the tops of the peppers finely and add them to the filling or to the sauce mixture.
  • Instead of plain white rice, add cooked Mexican or Spanish rice to the beef mixture. Use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice or Rice-a-Roni brand.
  • For Tex-Mex or Mexican flavors, substitute two 14.5-ounce cans of chili-style or Mexican style tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce.

  • Author: Peace Love and Low Carb
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

For the “Noodles”:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cups Three Cheese Marinara Sauce, divided (get the recipe here)

  • 6 tbsp whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp minced onion flakes (I use this brand)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

For the “Noodles”:

  1. This part will take the longest, so feel free to make the “noodles” the night before and just leave them in the fridge until you are ready for them.
  2. Preheat oven to 375° Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and eggs.
  4. Next, add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, fold in mozzarella cheese and mix until well incorporated.
  6. Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming a nice even layer.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
  8. When the “noodles” are done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut into thirds. This makes three perfectly sized “noodle” layers for an 8.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 loaf pan.

For the Filling:

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, minced onion, oregano, garlic powder, dried basil and a pinch of salt. Cook until the meat is browned.
  2. Drain excess fat from pan and add ¾ cup marinara sauce to meat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Putting it all together:

  1. Pour ¼ cup marinara sauce into bottom of loaf pan. Top with the first “noodle” layer
  2. Layer a third of the ground beef mixture. Top with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese and 3 tbsp ricotta cheese, and cover with another “noodle” layer. Repeat these steps.
  3. Cover the top “noodle” layer with remaining ground beef, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over top. Bake for 20 minutes.
