This Keto baklava recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional dessert, perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. Unlike the flaky, layered baklava you might be accustomed to, this version leans towards a denser, bakery-style treat. The recipe simplifies the process by using a special Keto dough that's easier to manage than traditional filo, yet still yields a satisfyingly layered texture. The filling features a blend of walnuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios, creating a rich, nutty flavor profile that's both sweet and buttery. The recipe also shares a unique tip: oiling your work surface instead of flouring it, which helps prevent the high-fat dough from sticking. This method, along with folding the dough multiple times, ensures that the baklava achieves a layered effect despite being gluten-free. While it may look slightly different from traditional baklava, the taste and texture will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet cravings.

For a thicker consistency like canned cranberry sauce, consider adding powdered gelatin (non-vegetarian/vegan) or powdered fruit pectin (vegan).
This Keto bread recipe is our low carb take on Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. These deliciously soft bread rolls are prepared with a simple fathead dough, sweetened with erythritol. Once prepared, the rolls are brushed with a sweet and buttery low carb glaze, then oven-baked until perfectly soft and golden. These make a great Keto alternative to traditional Hawaiian rolls; perfect served as a side dish or a low carb breakfast roll. Hawaiian rolls are soft and doughy dinner style rolls, with a hint of sweetness and typically finished with an egg wash glaze. Often traditional Hawaiian rolls are sweetened with pineapple juice. As this is not a Keto compliant ingredient, we have sweetened our dough with erythritol and topped the buns with a low carb maple syrup and butter glaze. These Keto rolls are an incredibly versatile low carb bread option. They can be enjoyed with sweet fillings such as a low carb jam - perfect for breakfast or dessert. Alternatively, they can be served as a savory dinner roll to accompany your preferred Keto mains.
These fudge-like avocado brownies are topped with a delicious salty, sea salt keto caramel sauce. The brownies are made with dark cocoa powder, avocado, melted chocolate, and eggs, and are baked until just set. Be careful not to over-bake them, as they will continue cooking after being removed from the oven. The caramel is simple to make, but cooling it until thickened is key. To test, dip the back of a spoon into the caramel; if a line drawn through it holds, it's ready for drizzling.
Store-bought mayonnaise often contains canola or other vegetable oils, which can contribute to insulin resistance. Even those labeled 'olive oil' mayos frequently include vegetable oils. This recipe provides a healthier alternative using only olive oil for a rich flavor. This homemade mayo lasts about a week in the refrigerator, limited by the egg's freshness. It's excellent for making egg or chicken salad, or as a spread on Keto or low-carb bread. While olive oil is recommended, avocado oil is a suitable Keto-friendly substitute. If your olive oil has a strong flavor, consider using half olive oil and half avocado oil. If the mayo turns out thin, it indicates an improper emulsion. To fix this, start with a fresh egg and slowly drizzle in the thin mayo, drop by drop, until the mixture thickens. A blender can be used, but ensure it's appropriately sized for the batch to ensure proper emulsion and avoid a thin consistency. An immersion blender is ideal for smaller quantities.
