Keto Ginger Blueberry Bars

This bar is naturally sweet with a delicious texture. I was able to use half as much sweetener. Yes this bar is higher on the carb/sugar side because of the blueberries of course. I'd say this is how you get a handful of your berries in a day. Your family and kids will love them. Enjoy!

Instructions

For The Dry Ingredients

  • Add fresh peeled ginger to your Ninja and pulse until finely chopped. Next add walnuts to the ginger and pulse until walnuts are broken up.
  • Add remaining dry ingredients to the ginger walnut mix in a bowl and set aside.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients.
  • In a small pot over low heat add the cocoa butter and coconut butter. Stir until melted. It's important that the oil is hot going into the bowl so that it all incorporates well. The mix should get a dough-like ball by the end.
  • Flatten out the dough ball with a spoon into a glass baking dish. Save some almonds for the topping because it's pretty. Almonds stick on top beautifully, you just need to use the spoon to smooth them over.
  • Put in freezer for 15 minutes or put in fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into them.

Notes

I keep these sweet treats in the fridge and take them out five minutes before I know I’m going to eat them.

    • In a Ninja blender add pecans, almonds and blend. Put them in the bowl.

    • 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!

    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.

    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!

    Keto Hot Fudge

    tasty 4 Comments

    If you are deciding to indulge in something sweet and chocolatey, why not have it be hot fudge! This is a keto-style hot fudge that is simply the best topping for your low carb ice cream or added to brownies and cakes for the ultimate indulgence!

    This is real hot fudge, not chocolate syrup lameness like many other recipes claiming to be your secret low carb chocolate treat. Do not be fooled by weak imitations… Trust the pig!

    Keto Hot Fudge

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    • First melt your chocolate chips in a small pot or in the microwave. A stove-top with a double-boiler is the safest way to not burn the chocolate, but you can do it directly over low heat or with the microwave if you are careful and stir frequently. Once the chips are melted, add the cocoa powder, mix well and set aside.
    • Warm sweetener, vita fiber, heavy cream, and 1/3 cup of water in a medium  heavy-bottomed pot over low heat without stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium high, stirring frequently. It will bubble up once it get’s really hot and that’s exactly what you want! Let it bubble for about 4-5 minutes, stirring it constantly so as not to burn.
    • Turn off heat and whisk in the salted butter, vanilla and melted chocolate. It will look messy at first but will come together beautiful and creamy but thick like real fudge should be. I would not keep this in the fridge, or you’ll be getting your hammer out just to get some. It keeps beautifully on the counter and is much easier to get into…   🙂
