Keto Cauliflower Biscuits

I have tried making are recipe similar to these in the past based on my loaded faux-tatoes only to result in most of dinner stuck in the muffin tin. These, however, are amazing. I used Trader Joe's Coconut Oil Spray and parchment paper, measuring out each biscuit in my 1/3 baking cup. Unlike the egg cups that I have made for breakfast in the past, these are not too "eggy" and take on the texture of a real biscuit.  Loving that by being made with almond flour, they pack only 3 carbs each.  I could brag about these biscuits forever, but you'll have to try them for yourself.

Keto Cauliflower Biscuits:

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower (riced in the food processor)
1/2 cup almond flour
2 eggs
5 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
2 tbsp. pickled jalapenos
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp. onion powder
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the cauliflower into florets and put them in your food processor.  Pulse the food processor until the cauliflower begins to take on the texture of rice.

In a large skillet, sprayed with coconut oil spray, saute the garlic, bacon, jalapenos, and riced cauliflower. Allow the mixture to cook over medium heat until the cauliflower begins to soften.

Remove the mixture from the heat and place into a large mixing bowl.  Combine the cauliflower mixture with the eggs, almond flour, cheeses, salt, and pepper.

On a prepared baking sheet, covered in parchment paper and sprayed with coconut oil, scoop the cauliflower mixture out using a 1/3 baking cup.  You'll want to make sure the mixture is packed together and not separated in the cup.  You should be able to make 12 biscuits.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown.  Cool for a few minutes before enjoying!

Trader Joe's Coconut Oil Spray is essential for Keto cooking.  I was thrilled to find it!

Keto Skickerdoodles

Playing around in the kitchen last night and came up with a Keto friendly recipe for Snickerdoodle cookies.  These are not incredibly sweet, but the almond flour offers a subtle hint of sweetness that partners well with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Keto Snickerdoodles:

Ingredients:
1 cup Almond Flour
1/4 cup Erythritol
2 tbsp. Kerrygold Irish Butter
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Combine the almond meal, egg whites, baking soda, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl.  Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, dipping each in the butter then rolling it in the erythritol before placing on the baking sheet.  You can also sprinkle on additional cinnamon if you'd like.

Bake for about 20 minutes, allowing to cool before serving.

This recipe makes one dozen cookies.
