The Top

Instructions

For The Bars

  • In a Ninja blender add pecans, almonds and blend. Put them in the bowl.
  • Add coffee beans to the Ninja and blend. Put the ground coffee in the bowl.
  • Do not blend the pumpkin seeds! Those are good whole. Just add those in the bowl.
  • Add the rest of your dry ingredients, allulose, inulin, vanilla, cocoa powder and salt. Mix with a spoon and set aside.
  • Grab a small pot and over medium heat add COCOA butter and COCONUT butter. These are not the same thing! Once melted, add the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until a mush ball forms.
  • Get your smaller size brownie pan and dump the mush ball in. Flatten with your spoon and put in freezer for 15-20 minutes.

Chocolate Top

  • Add the Lily's chocolate and butter to a small pan and melt before drizzling over the bars. If you don't have Lily's. You can take chunks (about 1/2 a bar) of unsweetened chocolate and add 1/4 cup VitaFiber syrup. This is delicious too!

Notes

It is 102 grams of protein for the whole batch. That’s 8.5 grams for each bar! I keep these sweet treats in the fridge and take them out five minutes before I know I’m going to eat them.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a pot on low heat. 
  • In a separate bowl add in almond butter, vanilla, vitafiber, monkfruit sweetener, butter and salt. 
  • Combine throughly and you may want to heat 30 sec in microwave if you had your almond butter stored in the fridge. Set this aside and prepare your mini cups.
  • Take the melted chocolate and fill all the cups less then half way about a quarter full. Put in the freezer for about ten minutes.
  • Take the filling and fill to about 3/4's, leaving just enough room for the top layer of chocolate. There is more then enough butter filling to fill 24 cups so be generous. 
  • Then add the rest of the melted chocolate to each cup and replace in freezer for about 10 minutes. 
  • Store them in the fridge or room temperature if you like them a bit softer.   
 

Keto Pfeffernüsse

tasty 5 Comments

Have you ever had a Pfeffernüsse? As a special request from my husband, this was my first time making them… And wow, let me just say these are fantastic! They have a lot more zing than gingerbread, making them a bit more of an “adult” cookie that goes great with coffee or something stronger.

Try them out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Vegan Keto Cream Cookie Cupcake

tasty Leave a comment

I made this recipe for a friend and I was honestly skeptical but to my surprise it was so much better then what I excepted! This vegan keto cream cookie cupcake recipe is so easy to make and is high in monounsaturated fats. It is so creamy with an ice cream-like texture and a pastry cookie crust. You wouldn’t expect this delicious sweet treat to also be a vegan one!

Vegan Keto Cream Cookie Cupcake

Ingredients

For The Cookie Crust

For The Filling

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F. In a bowl add almond meal, coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon and other spices and mix it until well incorporated. Heat the butter and oil in microwave on 15 second intervals stirring in between making sure to not burn it. Cacao butter is hard at room tempter and doesn’t melt easily so making sure to finely chop it before trying to heat it will help. Patience grasshopper.
  • The crust will bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and make sure to let it cool before putting the cream filling on top.
  • Put the nuts in a food processor/ninja with the nut milk and blend until smooth. Next add 1 scoop of protein powder and continue to blend, scraping the sides as you go. Place in freezer.
  • In a new bowl, start whipping the coconut cream that has been separated from the water. Add in the powdered sweetener and vanilla. Once you have all that whipped up, add the macadamia nut mix to the cream and whip it all up together. I did sprinkle in some extra cinnamon at this step because I love cinnamon.
  • For the last step, spoon the cream filling on top of the cookie crusts and put in the freezer. Wait approximately one hour for the filling to set firmly. This recipe made 12 cupcake treats.
