6. S’Mores Stuffed Cookies



To insure your cookie doesn't turn into a big puddle with graham cracker poking out, refrigerate your cookies before you bake them. 10 to 15 minutes should do the trick — no longer than an hour though, or your marshmallows won't melt while baking!

18 Easy & Delicious Keto Cake Recipes to Try

Think you have all the keto cake recipes you could ever possibly need now?

Instead of keeping them all to yourself, try them out with your friends and family to show them a low-carb lifestyle isn’t all about restriction.

Or share this roundup with your fellow keto squad and have a cake swap party where you each make a different one to share.

Just be mindful of portion control; while these recipes are low-carb, sugar-free and keto-approved, eat too many servings and you’ll definitely kick yourself out of ketosis.


1. Keto Chocolate Roll Cake





Thе bаttеr іѕ mаdе frоm juѕt сосоа роwdеr, eggs, ѕugаr free ѕwееtеnеr аnd a lіttlе bit оf strong coffee.  And the cream fіllіng іѕ tо dіе fоr.  (I’ve bееn tаѕtе tеѕtіng it extensively.)  It’ѕ juѕt the thing when уоu аrе іn thе mood for ѕоmеthіng bоth lоw саrb аnd сhосоlаtеу.  And bеѕt оf аll, thе whole shebang сlосkѕ іn аt only 166 calories аnd 2g nеt саrbѕ реr ѕlісе.

2. Keto Italian Cream Cake





I made it in 3 9″ pans and cooked in a 325 convection oven for 40 minutes. It came out moist and perfect. The frosting was light and wonderful.

3. Easy Keto Lemon Poke Cake
 




Lemon desserts are my ultimate weakness even above and beyond my chocolate addiction! I love that I made this single serving as well because I never need extra sweets around!

4. Keto Birthday Cake




I made this for my husband’s birthday (exactly by the recipe) and it was so incredibly yummy! I loved how the different flavors complimented each other. I am going to make this, again, but will try skipping the lemon zest and raspberry and just go with the French Buttercream frosting and whipped cream.

5. Classic Carrot Cake




A tаѕtу low саrb саrrоt саkе wіth cream сhееѕе ісіng. It hаѕ a wonderful texture and taste оf a traditional саrrоt саkе tо fооl уоur frіеndѕ. Great tо tаkе аѕ a dessert fоr аftеr dinner оr a mоrnіng tеа.

6. Keto Raspberry Layer Cake With Mascarpone Cream

Recipe >> Keto Raspberry Layer Cake With Mascarpone Cream @ fitmomjourney.com











7. Low Carb Coconut Cake



This cake was awesome! Reminds me of the Alton a brown cake I love so much! I used 1 heaping cup of freshly grated coconut on the top and sides of the cake. I did not put any inside the cake. I also used some homemade coconut extract in the cake and 1/4 t. of the strong coconut flavor from King Arthur Flour. It was so delicious! It was a bit on the thin side. I may try making it with two 8 in. rounds next time and doubling the cake recipe. I think cutting it into 20 pieces would keep it around the same amount of carbs and calories, but I will have to wait till the next time I make it.

9 Easy Salad Recipes To Try

As warm weather approaches, it’s time to ditch the comfort food in favour of something light and lovely. Making a salad can be tricky because more than often it turns out to be bland and well, just leafy. Which is why the right kind of salad recipes can take you a long way. Salad recipes that aren't just for healthy eaters, but also for those who love a burst of flavour. These are fireworks on a plate, not to be missed!

1.Cranberry Almond Broccoli Salad Recipes 




Broccoli salad is usually drowning in a creamy, often very sweet, dressing and studded with 1/2 pound crumbled bacon, making it more about the creamy dressing and bacon than about the actual broccoli.

2. That Good Salad Recipe




Slivered almonds and a lemon juice dressing and olive oil make this salad a real standout. In fact, I keep slivered almonds in my freezer just so I can whip it up for those spur-of-the-moment special occasions! For more nutrition, color or variety, I sometimes add broccoli and tomatoes.

A gluten-free, keto cheeseburger salad like this makes a healthy lunch or dinner.But now you can enjoy those classic flavors in salad form and eliminate some of the ingredients that make it so over-indulgent.  Thanks to Wholesome Yum, no bread and a more moderate serving of beef significantly lower the carb levels and also make this dish gluten-free.

5. Strawberry Cucumber Spinach Salad 




There are so many reasons why I LOVE this strawberry cucumber spinach salad! Mostly, it’s because it tastes like summer in a bowl and is all the things I really want to eat RIGHT NOW, but also, look at it – those colours are just gorgeous!

6. Berry Orange Spinach Salad 




The salad was filling, and it was pretty to look at, too (you eat with your eyes first, right?).  spinach leaves, crumbled feta cheese, walnuts or pecans, mandarin orange slices, strawberries, and some fresh blackberries are the ingredients in the salad.  The salad dressing is an easy to mix together citrus balsamic vinaigrette, and it really complimented the sweet fresh fruit and the slightly salty feta well.
