You haven’t tried proper keto pancakes until you have tried these!

Once upon a time, keto pancakes didn’t exist, and being on a diet meant you had to give up pretty much all of life’s culinary pleasures. Cakes, cookies, crisps, chocolate. The list is endless – and for some strange reason the food always seems to begin with the letter “c”.

Time to move on!

As the ketogenic diet got more popular, people began to experiment with their recipes more and more.  Thankfully nutritionists discovered wonderful substitutes that experimental chefs could use to create something new. And, no, it’s not the cronut! (although that mightn’t be a bad idea!). But instead, keto friendly of comfort food we all deserve to enjoy.

With the creation of wonderful ingredients such as Liquid Stevia, and alternative flours such as Coconut Flour and Almond Flour becoming more popular, it became easier to create for those on a keto diet to enjoy a nice plate of fluffy keto pancakes on a Sunday morning!

But I don’t just want to give you keto pancakes. I want to give you pancakes that make you scream “Hallelujah!” when you realize it’s 6:30am on a weekend and you can’t get back to sleep. So, just for you, I’ve experimented and experimented and finally come up with the best keto pancakes recipe in the world.

My Pancakes

I’m not going to lie to you. It took a lot of time cleaning up my messy kitchen before I finally cracked it. Sometimes the recipe was too eggy, too cream-cheesy, or just plain dry. And that wasn’t good enough. But now by moderating some of the ingredients, I’m proud to say, that these are the healthiest, tastiest keto pancakes I’ve ever tried.

As well as being super low carb, these are also gluten-free, which is perfect for anyone suffering dietary intolerances. Have I already mentioned that they’re also delicious? They’re very easy to make, and use regular keto ingredients such as cream cheese, eggs, coconut flour, and almond milk. The flavor comes from a little sweetener, vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon.

Coming in at 70 calories, 3g of fat, 6.1g of protein, 2.2g of carbs and only 1 measly gram of sugar, these pancakes are perfect for ANYONE. Counting calories? Lowering sugar? Upping your protein? No problem. These pancakes are perfect for you.

Trust me when I say these delicious pancakes are very similar to the real thing. They’re perfect for serving with tasty, crispy bacon and topping them with peanut butter really helps increase the quantity of protein too. My favorite toppings though, have to be sugar-free maple syrup. Sound too good to be true? Google Joseph’s Maple Syrup and you’ll believe me.

So, if you’re after the healthy, quickest and most delicious around, look no further! These fluffy keto pancakes are a force to be reckoned with.

Enjoy!

P.S. If almond flour isn’t your thing, we make these keto pancakes with Carbquick instead.

Bacon, Bacon and More Bacon

This page is dedicated to the best “Keto Bacon and Egg Cups” recipe on the Internet. But before we tell you the delicious secrets about this recipe, let’s step back for a minute.

You may not believe me, but there are a huge amount of yummy benefits to being on a ketogenic diet. And one of those benefits is eating lots of sweet, sweet bacon. We’ve heard about bacon “dangers”, as it can cause high cholesterol, but no one ever seems to mention the benefits.

For example, did you know that bacon actually contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are the same nutrients found in fish? And it’s these particular fatty acids that actually help protect the heart and keep it functioning correctly. Bacon also contains a lot of a nutrient called choline. This nutrient is particularly important for memory and intelligence and scientists have even found it can help fight off mental impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease. Amazing, right?

So, now we’ve discovered the benefits of bacon, let’s move on to the recipe.

Recipe Benefits

What you should know about this delicious recipe, is that it’s full of the all-important protein keto dieters need. This is not only due to the lack of sugary carbohydrates, but because it’s main ingredients are bacon (you guessed it!), eggs and cheese. And just to let you know, it’s pretty much impossible to find three ingredients that contain as much protein as these. So, for anyone trying to get their fat intake up, whilst keeping their other macros down, these little cups are perfect.

We recommend eating these for breakfast, as they’re very quick to make. For example, there’s only four steps to the entire recipe, whilst our last step is just a top tip to learn how to cook the eggs exactly as you like them. They’re also perfect as a protein filled snack if you’re having a particularly ravenous morning or evening.

Even though they take 25 minutes to prepare, twenty minutes of that is actually cooking time! Result! If you’re always in a bit of a rush, though, feel free to cook these in bulk and freeze them. It will save you so much time, that you can then spend on more important activities, such as caring for your kids or having extra leisure time! Be careful if you wish to recook these, however. Make sure they have fully defrosted and are piping hot when taking them out of the oven. You can test the temperature with a kitchen utensil and don’t burn yourself by eating them right away.

Nutritional Information

Now for the stats. These keto bacon and egg cups have 210 calories per cup, and you’re getting 15 grams of protein, and 16 grams of fat. Even better, they only contain zero carbs, which is just incredible for keto! It also makes them perfect for anyone who has dietary intolerances and is, for example, gluten-free.

So, what are you waiting for! All you need is five minutes of your time to prepare this dish and then you can have a tasty, ketogenic snack, breakfast or brunch any time you want. Wonderful? We think so too.

Ultimate Snacking

Dieting often doesn’t fit into our everyday lifestyles. Most of us work long hours and even if we try to eat well, time just isn’t available to make something healthy every single day. However, now is the time to rejoice, because these simple and tasty keto avocado cups are perfect for anyone who lives a busy life and spends most of their time on the go. Every single detail in this recipe has been checked to make sure you are not only making something delicious, but saving as much time as possible.

There is absolutely no cooking time in this recipe, which means you save time and get to eat something fresh. Furthermore, you can put in as little or as much effort as you like, as the steps only include a bit of prep and a small amount of mixing and seasoning! You can also prepare these cups in advance (and in bulk) so they are ready whenever you are. So here it is Keto lovers: The Best Keto Avocado Cups Recipe in the world!

Recipe & Nutrition Information

One thing that makes this recipe simple, is the small number of ingredients. Every ingredient on this list will be available in your local store and you may even have them already! This recipe is also incredibly versatile. For example, you can substitute the citrus juices for either lemon or lime and even change the seasoning if you want to. Don’t like sour cream? Use yogurt instead! Just a word of warning though, if you do use yogurt, check the sugar content first. Many dairy products are full of sugar to make them taste better and this can leave you feeling hungry later.

Regarding nutrition, these keto avocado cups contain a whopping 26 grams of fat. This is perfect for keto dieters wanting to keep their macros in check. There’s also 2.5 grams of protein, which is great for a small on-the-go snack. With 4 grams of fiber, these cups are also a great way to add some much-needed nutrition to your keto diet without going overboard on carbohydrates. Nutrition is calculated using lime juice and sour cream.

Thank You! 

We’d like to start this Keto Pancakes with Carbquick recipe, with a special thanks to Reddit user /u/InstyKim! It’s an incredible recipe that we’re really excited to share, which she has adapted from here. The most important ingredient in the recipe is Carbquick, but if you don’t have any, or are not sure how to use it,  you also can check out our other Keto Pancake Recipes here.

So, let’s get started!

Recipe Information

Unlike our other keto pancake recipes, this particular recipe includes some ingredients you may have never used before. Even though you may not have heard of them, it’s these ingredients that make this recipe out of this world, so do give them a chance. Keep on reading to learn more about how they work.

The first ingredient that has a strange name is Carbquick, which is just a low carbohydrate mix for baking with. It is very similar to Bisquick, but as it contains Carbalose, it has 90% fewer net carbs. There’s also Allulose in this recipe, which is just a type of sweetener. Feel free to use another type of sweetener if you’ve found one you particularly like.

The rest of the ingredients are simple. These include an egg, baking powder, heavy cream, avocado oil and coconut oil. These ingredients may not sound like the perfect foods to use to make pancakes, but if you don’t believe us, take a look at the picture at the top of the screen. Drool-worthy right? We think so too.

Let’s move onto nutrition.

Nutritional Information

This recipe contains 350 calories, which is perfect for a light breakfast or anyone watching their weight. It also keeps keto fans happy as it contains a massive 31 grams of fat and only 3.3 grams of net carbs. Also, with 13.3 grams of protein, these pancakes are perfect for keeping you going through a weekend morning.

What makes this recipe special though, is the amount of fiber included. Because as keto dieters are always trying to up their fat, this means we often miss out on that all-important fiber, which is needed to keep our bodies healthy. But if you choose this recipe, you’ll be consuming a huge 14.5 grams of the stuff. We told you this is the best Keto Pancakes with Carbquick recipe!

So, there you have it. When the weekend finally comes around, get yourself ready for the perfect treat with this wonderful recipe for Keto Pancakes with Carbquick.

Muffins have always been a typical favorite breakfast item in America. Previously, though, these have been of the sugary kind, including tangy lemon and poppy seed, punchy blueberry and rich chocolate chip. But with an ever-growing obesity crisis, we need to kick these types of food to the curb.

Interestingly, though, the muffin has still managed to retain its crown at the top of the breakfast list. This is due to changing the ingredients slightly and focusing more on proteins rather than sugary carbohydrates. And with that in mind, we think we’ve discovered the best pepper jack, mozzarella, spinach and egg keto muffins recipe, so you’ll never go back to your old habits.

Trust us, don’t be fooled by these dinky keto muffins. They come in at 95 calories, which is perfect for anyone watching their weight and trying to maintain a low-calorie diet. They also have a whopping 8 grams of protein, which means you’ll stay full all throughout the morning and not reach for a mid-morning snack. Finally, they only have 1 gram of carbohydrates. One gram! That deserves to be shouted from the rooftops, don’t ya think?

You can even make these yummy treats in bulk and freeze them for later. This is perfect for saving time if you’re constantly on the go and have breakfast on the way to work. This standard recipe makes 12, but feel free to double up the ingredients and make more.

Now let’s move on to the flavors. Mozzarella and pepper jack cheese compliment the egg base perfectly and herby additions such as spinach keep the muffin tasting lovely and fresh. If you’re confident, we recommend you add garlic powder and green onions for an even richer flavor.

So, what do you think? Delicious or what?!?

The Usual Morning Routine

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Every night when you go to bed, you swear that you’re going to get up early to feed yourself properly. But what happens when the alarm goes off? You think, “Ugh, it can’t be 6:30 already,” and hit the snooze button.

Even if you actually manage to get out of bed, there’s still a lot that gets in the way. Either you’ve not checked the time and spent too long practising the work presentation you have to present in exactly 2 and a half hours, or the kids have done something silly, like squirted toothpaste on their school uniforms. Or just feel so groggy, you genuinely can’t be bothered.

Well, The Keto Cookbook is not here to load you with excuses, but instead come to the ultimate rescue! We’ve developed the best simple keto breakfast recipe that is not only quick and tasty, but is full of the fats and vitamins needed to keep you going to lunchtime. It will even keep revving up your metabolism without you even noticing!

Convinced? Let’s take a look.

Recipe Information

This recipe contains only 7 ingredients that are so easy to prepare, you could almost make this dish with your eyes closed (but please do not try this!). The main ingredients in this are eggs and spinach, which do wonders to your body. Eggs contain good levels of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc and iron. A lot of cereal is fortified with these sorts of ingredients, but trust us, it’s better to get your vitamins and minerals from healthier food sources.

Like eggs, spinach also contains iron, but also vitamins A, B2, C and K and magnesium, manganese, folate, calcium and potassium. Phew! That was a long list! These vitamins and minerals are so important to keep our body functioning properly and can really help prevent some diseases that are developed later in life.

In our opinion, just eggs and spinach is a bit of a plain meal. So we’ve ramped up the flavor with garlic, onion and if you’re brave, some red chilli powder! Those flavors are definitely worth getting up for in the morning!

Nutritional Information

This breakfast recipe is the ultimate meal if you’re a keto fan like us. This is because it contains only 1 gram of net carbs, which also makes it wonderful for those following a similar Atkins style diet. There’s also no sugar! Yes, you heard us right, NO sugar! Which means it’s also great for those watching their sugar content. Finally, it only comes in at 481 calories, whilst packing in a massive 20 grams of protein and 43 grams of fat! If you’re a new reader, you may have panicked at the word “fat”, but trust us, these are healthy fats. These are essential for maintaining muscle and protecting your heart.

So, now there’s really no need to panic about making a simple keto breakfast in the morning. Just follow this recipe and you’ll always be good to go!
