Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook chicken wings using your favorite method. I like to deep fry mine in 385 degree avocado oil until it is extra crispy.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat.
  • Add soy sauce (or Tamari/aminos), sambal, sugar free orange marmalade, brown sweetener (swerve is what I used), ground ginger, onion powder, sesame oil, and  garlic powder. Stir until the brown sweetener is dissolved.
  • Measure 1/4 cup water and mix xanthan gum with it. Pour half it into the mixture and stir – it will get thick fast. Pour the other half if you want your sauce thiccc.
  • Toss the chicken wings in as much sauce as your heart desires. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

Cream Cheese Stuffed Keto Bagel Bites (Bantam Bagel Copycat)

Keto Bantam Bagel Dupe (#twinning)👯‍♀️this is a cream cheese stuffed bagel! I used to get these all the time during my non-keto Starbucks runs. These are super easy to make and even easier to make different variations with flavors and seasonings. If you already have a favorite fathead bagel recipe or keto bagel recipe, feel free to use that and follow this method.

Low Carb Banh Mi Pockets

These are some of our favorite ways to enjoy one of our favorite sandwiches when we are craving the real deal. “Banh mi” literally translates to “bread” and Vietnamese. Hopefully, someone comes up with the billion dollar idea how to keto-fy french baguettes soon – but until then, these are the best we’ve had get our fix.

Some notes:

  1. The absolute EASIEST WAY to make these is to purchase the cold cuts, Vietnamese mayo, pickled veggies, and paté from your local asian market or Vietnamese deli. You can make your own fixins’ but it’s a process.
  2. If you have a Banh Mi shop near you, like Lee’s Sandiwich, Tip Top, Banh Mi Ba Le, or similar – those shops will have the ingredients ready for grab and go.
  3. The key to a crispy wrap is the lavash that you use – our absolutely favorite to use for these are CutDaCarb flatwraps. You can ONLY purchase them online directly from their website cutdacarb.com. A close second is low carb lavash bread you can find at specialty markets or Middle eastern grocery stores. The third option is Josephy’s lavash bread that can almost always be found at Walmarts across the country.
  4. I have only fried pockets but you can air fry or bake them to your liking. Try 375 degrees for 4-5 minutes.

  • Spread the pate on the surface of each strip.
  • Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the banh mi mixture and place it on the bottom right hand corner of lavash strip.
  • Fold the bottom right hand corner of the strip to the left to cover the banh mixture. Continue following the fold until you reach the other side of the lavash strip.  Follow the diagram below to see how to continue folding the pocket.

Edible Raw Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

One time, I paid $15 for a tiny jar of keto cookie dough…NEVER AGAIN!

This recipe is perfect for when you’re craving some cookies but don’t have time to wait for them to bake. It’s very customizable once you make the base so if you don’t have chocolate chips, sprinkle a mix of cinnamon/sweetener for some edible snickerdoodle dough.

Zero Carb Pancakes (Keto-Friendly)

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE pancakes. Give me pancakes any time of day and I’m a happy camper. The only issue is when I’m trying to really reduce total carbs, the classic almond flour pancakes that I love are just too high for me. ENTER: Isopure unflavored whey isolate protein powder – aka magic dust from the keto gods. Zero carb and versatile as hell! They give these pancakes a pancake texture and more fluff and firmness than if you were just making an egg pancake or crepe.

Here are some notes:

  1. If you eat this hot off the pan, they will taste eggy. Give them a hot minute to cool and then you will get the pancake vibes you’ve been craving.
  2. I use isopure because it’s the only brand I’ve ever used – if you want to use your favorite brand, go ahead and do so – but I have never used another whey isolate protein powder from another brand.
  3. I use unflavored whey isolate so I can control the taste and sweetness. If you have protein powder you want to try to use, please go ahead and try, but the carb count will be different – and possibly the texture.
  4. Here’s the sweetener I use for these pancakes – it’s the liquid stevia in toffee because it’s zero total carbs. I understand lots of people calculate net carbs in other sweeteners, but for a true zero carb situation, I prefer this liquid sweetener. It’s easy to work with and mixes beautifully in the batter.
  5. The pan I used is a silver dollar pan from Aldi. You can find a similar one on amazon.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in the microwave (about 20 seconds). Meanwhile, start heating a non-stick pan on medium heat.
  • In the same bowl as the butter, add half and half to the warm butter and mix.
  • Mix in whey and baking powder to the butter and half and half to form a thick, but smooth batter. No lumps!
  • Add vanilla and liquid stevia and continue mixing.
  • Whisk in eggs and let the batter sit for a minute or two.
  • Pour batter onto the hot pan – let it bubble up and then flip. The first side should only take 1-2 minutes to bubble up and the second side will only need half as much time to cook. Test out one pancake first to adjust sweetness and to get a better idea of cook time on your stove and pan.
  • Enjoy with butter and your favorite syrup or jam!

Super Easy Sugar Free Gummy Bears

These are an easy way to get your sweet fix without the sugar high or guilt. They have the texture of a soft gummy, firm jello, or soft fruit snack – whichever floats your boat to describe it. I keep mine in the fridge after I take them out of the mold so they continue to stay firm. You can use anything to flavor the gummies – I prefer to use the individual drink packets you can pick up at the Dollar Tree, Walgreens, or grocery store but if you want to keep it clean you could add electrolyte drink mixes or naturally sweetened water enhancers. I purchased my molds on Amazon.

You just need to remember these two tips: 1. Make sure the gelatin powder is completely dissolved in the water before pour the mixture into the molds and 2. You need to work quickly, do not try to pre-make the mixture and then save the pouring for another time.

Instructions

  • Mix the gelatin powder with hot water until it’s fully dissolved.
  • Add the sugar free drink powder.
  • Put the molds on a tray. Pour the liquid into silicone molds.
  • Pick up the tray and place the molds into the fridge for at least 20 minutes before removing them from the molds.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Blondies

These are the ooey-gooey cookie bars you didn’t know you needed in your low carb life. The secret ingredient? GELATINE. This is what keeps it moist (yes, I said moist) and chewy. We like the knox brand gelatine which can usually be found in the jello aisle at the grocery store.

  • Melt butter and whisk in eggs. Let the butter cool for a second so it doesn’t cook the eggs. Add sugar free vanilla syrup OR (2 tsp vanilla extract and two more tablespoons of sweetener).
  • Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
  • Line a 7×7 baking pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan.
  • Sprinkle more sugar free choco chips on top of the batter.
  • Bake at 350 for about 25-30 mins until the blondie is golden brown. I used my toaster oven so it will be done once it stops jiggling…or if you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean, it's done. Let it cool before digging in.

Low Carb (Keto Friendly) Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken

This is our take on Tawainese style Popcorn Chicken aka a dupe for Tastea’s Kickin’ Chicken 👯‍♀️this spicy, salty, savory snack is really popular at bubble tea shops around the world. Regina and I once flew to LA and sped like lunatics from the airport to get to a Tastea before closing time and still missed the cutoff. We had always wondered what type of mystical spice gave this type of popcorn chicken a kick so we asked one of the workers at Taste. The secret to SPICY AF popcorn chicken? Simply cayenne 😂

Instructions

  • Cut up bite sized pieces of chicken thigh meat. Throw it in a bowl and mix it with soy sauce, Chinese five spice powder, black pepper, minced garlic, and xanthan gum. Marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a ziplock bag, mix @isopurecompany whey isolate powder UNFLAVORED, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper. Add the chicken in there and shake it hard to coat 💯. Pour it on a baking sheet so it doesn’t get soggy or clump together
  • In 375 degree oil, drop the chicken pieces in there one by one and fry until fully cooked and crispy on the outside (about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the chicken).
  • Drain the chicken of oil. In a separate bowl, mix a tablespoon of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of Chinese five spice, 1/2 tablespoon of monkfruit sweetener, 1/2 tablespoon of asian chicken flavor granules (optional), and a teaspoon of black pepper. Either sprinkle it onto the chicken or toss it like they do with buffalo wings. Careful when you toss cause it can get salty if it’s not even.
