These Keto Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes with a chocolate espresso ganache are a delightful treat that tastes indulgent but remains low-carb and keto-friendly! The dark chocolate cake batter is baked in a mini bundt pan, resulting in a dense, moist, and intensely chocolatey cake. Their individual portion sizes and wreath-like appearance make them perfect for Christmas. Use espresso strength coffee or strongly brewed coffee for the best flavor. Powdered erythritol is recommended for easy dissolving. Any liquid fat, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or ghee, can be substituted for salted butter; if you do, add a pinch of salt to the batter. For a richer flavor and color, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. A 6-count mini bundt pan with a 4-cup batter capacity is ideal for this recipe. Serve these mini cakes with other low-carb Christmas goodies, such as Keto Christmas Peppermint Mousse.
This vegetarian side dish is delicious during the summertime on your patio. Included in this Keto casserole are thin slices of yellow squash (also called summer squash at the grocery store). The squash is coated in a blend of Tex-Mex inspired spices before getting layered in a baking dish. The casserole filling is your typical style, but it s accompanied by a drizzle of buttery barbecue sauce glaze. Just a touch of barbecue sauce adds richness and Keto-friendly sweetness to your dish. Of course, no casserole is complete without a hefty layer of bubbling cheese on top. Use a Mexican cheese blend or create your own blend by combining equal amounts of cheddar and jack cheeses. Jessica L. What s the difference between summer squash and winter squash? Aside from the seasons they re grown in, both types of squash have a few differences and uses in the keto diet. Yellow squash (summer squash) has a softer skin and more tender fruit than zucchini (winter squash). Yellow squash tends to be more flavorful as well. This is why yellow squash is best for simply slicing and cooking with your favorite Keto fats for an easy, low-carb side dish. Zucchini, on the other hand, has a heartier skin and fruit. This is why you see spiralized noodles or zoodles made from zucchini instead of its yellow counterpart. A simple rule of thumb: yellow squash is great for easy side dishes and zucchini is better for creating innovative keto meals or snacks. The BBQ Summer Squash Tex-Mex Casserole is perfect for pairing with a vegetarian or pescetarian summertime meal. Keep the casserole hot alongside a cold, refreshing salad. For pescetarians, try any of Carb Managers Tex-Mex, fajita, or taco-inspired fish and shellfish recipes. The recipe library has a plethora of choices, from cod, to flounder, to skewered shrimp. This casserole makes a healthy accompaniment to any Carb Manager surf n n turf style meals as well.
