My Keto Spot

Keto/ low carb easy peasy flourless mug cake! In the evening when I'm ready for dessert, I want something yummy and low effort! If you're like me, then this mug cake is for you! The ingredients you likely have in your pantry already! So really, you just need to have about 2 minutes to spare. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Almond Butter 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder 1/2 tablespoon Pyure (really any sweetener, and to your liking) 1 large Egg Directions: 1. Add all ingredients to your mug or ramekin. 2. Mix! Mix! Mix! I use a fork to really mix it all together. If you don't mix well, you will end up with a layer of scrambled egg. 3. Microwave for 60 seconds. 4. Let cool for a few seconds and enjoy! I like to transfer mine to a plate, just place your mug upside down over your plate. Don't forget yummy toppings! My favorite toppings: Lily's chocolate chips , ALL of the whipped cream, fresh berries, and Walden Farms pan...

When you are doing keto you can have your cake and eat it too! Nowadays there are several options for keto and low carb cakes. There are mixes you can take home and whip up in a jiffy or you can make one from scratch at home.  I enjoy the convenience of being able to pick up this mix at my local health food store and being able to have an easy cake whenever I want! I picked up this Swerve Cake Mix at my local Clark's Nutrition for $7.19. Pretty good price for something that is low carb and convenient! How easy is it to make? Super duper easy peasy! I obviously had to complicate it by using coconut oil that I partially melted, so once I was whisking everything together, it was a bit hard. The directions don't specify a type of oil to use, if you don't like the taste of coconut then you definitely want to use something else. All you need to have at home is some type of oil, water, vanilla, and eggs! You whisk it all together and then put it in your prepared pan. ...

It's the most wonderful  hectic time of the year! Some days I will put in the effort to make things from scratch and other days I just need something easy peasy. On my shopping trip to Clark's Nutrition today (my local health food store), I picked up this muffin mix for $7.69!   The directions were easy to follow! It didn't take much effort to get them going.  I used a hand mixer for each of the steps. I also used butter instead of the suggested coconut oil.  I used my ice cream scoop to fill up my muffin tins and left them in the oven for 12 minutes. There were 12 servings for this package and 1g net carb per serving. So, each of these muffins is 1g net carb! Pretty awesome if you're counting carbs! Time - super fast! I spent about 20 minutes form beginning to end. Texture - they were nice and fluffy, not super dense like other mixes. Taste - did not have an intense blueberry flavor, but did not have any funky after taste either. Overal...
