I made some yummy dried cranberries on Wednesday and used half of them for my toasted keto muesli mix and the rest in this loaf. You can also use sour cream or a mix of both Greek yoghurt and sour cream instead of all yoghurt for this loaf.To summarise: mix your dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. In a pot on low heat melt butter and stir in your preferred keto sugar to partly dissolve sugar and mix in the rest of the wet ingredients; fold into dry mix. Add fruit – any dried or fresh berries are fine to substitute!I have also posted the quick method I used to dry the cranberries below. So much better than shop bought, if you have the time.

Keto Rosemary Focaccia (with yeast)
I’ve literally been putting off trying a yeast keto bread for years. I love yeast. I miss baking with yeast. It’s delicious fragrance invokes such cosy memories and the feel of kneading a pliable dough is sublime. The friendly yeasty beasty that has brought deliciousness to humanity over the ages is a miracle of fermentation and nothing smells quite as good baking.What inspired me to finally take the leap of faith? Recently I discovered a lovely site, Wingspread Farm where you can buy home baked bread from their Florida farm stall Continue reading
Keto Granola
I’m not sure if you have the same cravings for something crunchy while keto (I’m looking at you, pork rind treats!) But I do. Here is a very successful keto granola I made this week.
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything I used, just sub with something else of your choice or reduce the recipe
This recipe has two steps, making a simple syrup adding butter after reduction and then toasting the nut mix with the simple syrup tossed in. Keep refrigerated in sealed container after completion.
Chaffles: Brie, persimmon and basil with keto maple syrup
I like unusual flavour combinations and in my pre-keto days a favourite summer treat was to eat waffles from a place called Waffle Window. There was always a line. This sweet/savoury waffle was my favourite but the Loaded Berry Waffles were amazing too.
Gingerbread Fruit Bake
I never had fresh berries so for this recipe I used a few plums. They were not quite ripe either! Anyhow, the gist of this recipe is to bake your fruit in butter while you prep the batter. Add the light scone-like topping, flaked almonds, more spices, bake and you’re done! Delicious with a cup of coffee and topped with whipped cream.
Keto Danish Pastries with Strawberries
If you have some fresh berries and ingredients for fathead dough, then you have the basic ingredients to make this recipe. The process is in three stages. First the filling, which is basically like a light cheesecake filling. Next you mix the dough and while it’s baking you make a quick glaze. This was my first time baking these and it took me a little longer than it should. Next time I will have everything prepped and be more organised. I literally decided to bake these on the fly today when I saw the strawberries needed to be eaten. Here goes!
Filling
- 1x 8oz cream cheese package
- 1/2 cup ground white keto sugar (if it’s too granular it’s not pleasant)
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- zest of a lemon (an orange would be good too if you don’t have lemons)
Beat all the ingredients well together.

Keto “English” cream tea Scones
4
I woke up this morning and needed a cream tea scone. It was that simple. Necessity being the mother of invention I created this recipe just now and holy cow, it worked. I’m recording it right now before I forget the quantities, and my future self can bake them again. They are truly delicious. We had them with butter, raspberry and strawberry keto jam and whipped cream. I’m pretty sure they would be fabulous topped with a good sharp cheese of your choice too. Though not everyone likes cheese with their scones I suppose, I might be in the minority!
My Chaffle Recipe (sweet) with berries and cream
I’ve been putting off trying out the mini waffle maker my partner bought for me … well, I think more nervous about making a keto chaffle itself!
The trick is to work fast, and I mean really fast.
Wow, are they are delicious!
September Indulgence: LCHF Grilled Cheese
Yes. This is indeed a grilled cheese, topped with an egg, chilli flakes, spiced Herbamare, oak leaf lettuce and roma and sungold tomatoes. I have not eaten a toasted cheese in nearly 3 years, but the delicious twist to this tale is the slice of bread is Continue reading
Mom’s Lemon Curd Tree
*all photos in this post are by my Mum, except the last which I took in January this year
As it’s Mother’s Day here is a post and tribute to my wonderful, witty, warm and welcoming 87 year old Mother. I always say to my friends, if I grow up to be anything half as awesome as my Mum, I’ll be happy.
When my Dad passed away, we planted a lemon tree Continue reading
