Bob’s Muffins: In Honour of a Wonderful Man

Hearty and Flavourful
Nutty too!

I adapted this recipe from the Bob’s Red Mill site to a more low-carb friendly version. I’m sad to hear they are closing the restaurant and on-site store very soon. We heard the line was 2 hours long to get in this weekend. Bob Moore was an amazing man, a legend in his own time, and passed not too long ago. I remembered being delighted to see his products in a grocery store as far away as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, some years ago.

This is not represented by photos of a step by step recipe. It’s just too good not to share after baking them and I never took a photo journal of the prep.  Enjoy!

And… thank you Bob! ❤️

Spiced Keto Muffins with orange zest

I’m beginning to think this is the only muffin recipe I’ll be using for a long while, just varying the flavours and types of nut flour I use. These are fresh out the oven to break an 8/16 fast since late lunch yesterday. Delicious slathered in butter. Just butter! I’m also convinced my favourite keto sugar is the brown version in the image below. Absolutely NO aftertaste, coolness and really tastes good. I’m not sure how I’ll bake keto sponge cakes in future, but honestly, it’s 100% the best flavour.

What we’ll be doing here – melting the butter/sugar mix gently on the stove; mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and in another bowl mix cream/nut milk/buttermilk with eggs and orange zest. Make sure to check you have some spices handy, I used a few or you can just stick with cinnamon. There are some optional things you can leave out, it will absolutely work without the optional add in’s. Makes 1 dozen muffins. Here we go:

Fig and Toasted Pecan Bread

Posted on by

We went to friends for a board game night and I baked two quick loaves of bread to take. These loaves are gluten free, low carb (you can leave the figs out for an even lower carb count) and fantastic with just butter or any cheese.

This is a variation of my other nutty keto loaf. I plan to bake other variations, like an olive parmesan or spiced ginger and apple loaf.

The beauty of this loaf is it’s so quick, no separate beating of egg whites, folding in and working quickly like other keto breads. I let the one loaf rest in the dough stage while I mixed up the second. Baked beautifully!

Best flavour in this loaf is the toasted pecan flour, it came out like pecan butter and the taste was sublime!
