Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Keto Peanut Butter CookiesKeto Peanut Butter Cookies. Make no mistake these keto peanut butter cookies are good, good, good and super easy to make. They are about the right size at 3″ and perfect at the end of a good keto lowcarb meal and that’s if you can even fit one in. Also quite nice with an afternoon cup of tea. I don’t eat many desserts as such but I have always loved peanut butter so these keto peanut butter cookies are a rare exception.

  3. ½ t Baking Powder
  4. ¼ t Salt
  5. ½ C Butter (1 Stick)
  6. ½ C Peanut Butter
  7. ½ C Allulose

  1. Preheat oven to 340°.
  2. In medium bowl combine Carbalose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another medium bowl cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars.
  4. Beat in egg & vanilla.
  5. Mix in flour mixture ⅓ at a time.
  6. With a 2½ T #24 scoop put 12 scoops on a parchment lined sheet pan.
  7. Press with a fork into the traditional crisscross pattern on a peanut butter cookie.
  8. Bake15-17 minutes or until just beginning to brown on the edges.
  9. Cookie should end up about 3" in diameter.
  10. 12 Servings (Cookies)
  11. 162 Calories, 5.5g Protein, 14.3g Fat, 6.0g Carbs, 3.1g Fiber, 2.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  2. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.
  3. I am now using Allulose.
  4. As I said, I rarely eat desserts or snacks but, these are an exception.
  5. If by some chance you are a bit short on peanut butter and...you have tahini...you may use up to 25% replacement with no effect on the final flavor.

Keto Potica

2 Replies

Keto PoticaKeto PoticaKeto PoticaKeto Potica. Many years ago while living in the mountains of Colorado I used to cater lots of weddings. For whatever reason there was a small enclave of Slovenians and one of the things that was served in abundance was a pastry called potica (poh-teet sah). My recollection is that it was served in honor of the bride for health, wealth, and prosperity and always served around the holidays of Easter and Christmas. I got to eat this a lot and interestingly every woman made it differently. Ruth made by far the best potica and I finally figured out why. She used to keep hers wrapped in foil which kept it ever so moist and chewy. I tried making it but seriously, was never as successful as she was. Being a hillbilly from KY was just not going to cut it like an old world master. Well, many years later I have finally figured out how to get my keto potica (almost) as good as Ruth’s and I will say it’s pretty danged good. This freezes perfectly and it’s a good thing because I wouldn’t eat this whole loaf in a month of Sundays but um…I do have grateful neighbors and friends. Recently my neighbor Nicole gave me candles during a power outage and I will for sure be giving some to her. If you are interested in testing your baking skills just a bit, you may want to try the Low Carb Babka too.

I have almost zero recollection where I got that fabulous pan but I’m glad I did. I vaguely recall I was going to make small loaves of bread to use for canapés. So this is (maybe?) its debut. If you don’t have the same pan just lay your keto potica loaf on a parchment or foil lined sheet pan to bake it. Opting for foil gives you a ready-made covering.

Potica
Print
The Nut Filling
  1. ½ C Walnuts
  2. ¼ C Allulose***
  3. 1½ t Cinnamon
  4. 4 T Softened Butter (To Be Used Later)
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Gluten
  4. ½ t Salt
  5. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  6. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  7. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  8. 2 T Warm Water
  9. 2 T Soft Butter
  10. 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  11. ½ C Warm Water + More As/If Needed 1 T At A Time
  12. 1½ t Yeast
  13. ½ t Sugar
The Dough
  1. Put first 6 ingredients in processor.
  2. Add 2 T warm water to flaxseed meal for 10 minutes, add to dry ingredients, and pulse to mix.
  3. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  4. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  5. Start processor, add liquids, and process for 1-2 minutes or so.
  6. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  7. Place dough in a small square or rectangular pan, cover with film and let rise about 30 minutes.
The Nut Filling
  1. Place walnuts, cinnamon, and Allulose in a small processor and process until nut are finely ground.
The Fun Part
  1. I hope you have a small offset spatula because it will make spreading the butter very easy. Otherwise it is easy to put a hole in your beautifully thinly rolled out dough.
  2. With the tiniest amount of bench flour flop out dough and begin to roll it as thinly as possible. Best size should be about 12”x18”, you’re going to need a long counter so…just keep rolling along.
  3. Now spread dough thinly all over with butter, completely cover with the nut filling and press firmly into butter.
  4. Starting with the short side begin tightly rolling just like you would for cinnamon rolls.
  5. You probably won’t have the same pan I do so just put in on a double sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  6. Cover lightly with film and allow to rise about 25-30 minutes. You don’t want it to rise much.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°.
  8. Bake 27-28 minutes, remove from oven and leave loaf in pan to cool completely. If you can remember, cover it with film after about 30 minutes. Reason: It will keep it totally moist and a bit chewy which is what you want.
  9. If you drink afternoon tea this is THE perfect accompaniment.
  10. Cut into 12 pieces.
  11. 12 Servings
  12. 111 Calories, 5.7g Protein, 8.3g Fat, 8.3g Carbs, 4.9g Fiber, 3.4g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. One of secrets of a successful keto potica is to roll it as tightly as possible. Remember there is no sugar and very little starch in Carbalose flour so…not much binding power going on so, if it ends up a little loosey goosey don't worry about it-just eat & enjoy it.
  2. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  3. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose (and have for over 9 years with zero ill effects) as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Low Carb Babka

Low Carb BabkaLow Carb BabkaLow Carb BabkaLow Carb Babka

Low Carb Babka. This was a really fun and easy recipe to make and even better to eat. My description of this low carb babka would be a moist sweet bread and most will think of it as a pastry. Today most babka is chocolate made with Nutella and I wouldn’t eat Nutella with a ten foot pole. In fact, I have never even tasted it so, no loss to me. Cinnamon and walnuts  are originally traditional and what I have used. So, you can call this a bread, or a cake, or a pastry but I’m pretty sure you’ll call it really good eats.

Many years ago in the mountains of Colorado I used to cater lots of weddings. For whatever reason there was a small enclave of Slovenians and one of the things that was served in abundance was a pastry called Potica (poh-teet sah). My recollection is that it was served in honor of the bride for health, wealth, and prosperity and always served around the holidays of Easter and Christmas. The biggest difference between a low carb babka or a low carb potica is their final shape. I had never done it this way, sometimes my ego gets in the way, and I just wanted to see if I could do it. I’ll probably make a loaf of Potica at some point so you can see the difference. My problem is that I don’t eat much dessert so I end up giving a lot of it away and…my neighbors and friends are very appreciative. Low carb babka freezes very well and is just one step further from potica in that it is easily braided. Babka originated in the Eastern European areas of Poland~Lithuania while potica came to us from Slovenia and aren’t we lucky they made it to here.

  5. Starting with the long side begin tightly rolling just like you would for cinnamon rolls.
  6. With bottom seam firmly secure and on the bottom, start 1” in at the top and slice the length of the log all the way through the other end. So now, you have it completely sliced in half except that 1” at one end.
  7. Open to cut side up. To twist and being gentle, put one side over the other always keeping the cut side up and showing, until you have what looks like a braid that will be too long. Pinch the last end, lightly grease 4”x8” loaf pan and gently nestle in braid until it fits evenly.
  8. Sprinkle on reserved nut mixture, cover lightly with film and allow to rise about 30-35 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°.

Keto Southern Pecan Bread

2 Replies

Keto Southern Pecan BreadKeto Southern Pecan BreadKeto Southern Pecan BreadKeto Southern Pecan Bread. Why in heaven’s name this is called bread and not cake is a mystery to me. I found a recipe, was intrigued by the name, looked at the ingredients, and thought I could make it keto. At least for me this is not bread in any way shape or form.

As comparison the label to the left is the label from another recipe I found and of course it had massive amounts of sugar in it so, take a good look because mine is sugar-free. Keto southern pecan bread is the first keto dessert I have done since sometime last year but I have to say I’m glad I tried it because IT. IS. DELICIOUS. I very rarely eat sweets of any kind and the longer I have eaten keto~lowcarb (10 years) it has only become less and less.

God forbid, I managed to find myself in the Kitchen Kaboodle store in the middle of our “pandemic” and I went nuts. Besides picking up pre-ordered books and going to grocery stores I had not been inside a retail store for over 4 months and yes, I was like a kid in a candy store and how I got that sweet little Fat Daddio Bundt pan. If you ever decide to make Keto Monkey Bread this 7” puppy holds well over 2 cups and is the perfect sized pan and the same one I used for this recipe. If you’re not sure then make this in a 7”x7” pan and cut them into bars.

This keto southern pecan bread is plenty sweet enough all by its lonesome but…if you want to guild the lily feel free to drizzle the finished bread with Keto Rum Caramel Sauce and it is certainly not necessary. If…you happen to have Sugar-Free Maple Syrup then 1 T drizzled over a piece is fabulous because we all know maple and pecans make fabulous tasting foods together, and…one other suggestion would be to drizzle it with Keto Orange Sauce because you know, orange & pecan.

Keto Brown Sugar Cookies

Leave a reply

Keto Brown Sugar CookiesKeto Brown Sugar CookiesKeto Brown Sugar Cookies. Yep, and they are so easy too. Tons of butter to sooth any savage beast and They. Are. Huge. To be more exacting they are over 4″ huge so one is plenty enough after a good low carb dinner. A while ago I did a recipe for Giant Ginger Cookies and this is just kind of a sister-cookie. When baked, and after sitting, these keto brown sugar cookies have kind of a soft-crunchy texture but, that’s if you get people to leave alone long enough to actually sit.

  6. With a ¼ C scoop place 8 balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and with your fingers, press each ball to flatten a bit.
  7. Generously sprinkle on more sugar and press with a flat surface to about 4" and it's the sugar that keeps them from sticking to whatever you use for the final flattening. I use, of all things, my meat pounder but whatever trips your trigger.
  8. Bake 18-20 minutes or until just beginning to brown at the edges.

  1. I have a very large baking sheet that fits all the cookies at once but since you may not, it's why you either need 2 sheet pans or to repeat the process for all your cookies.
  2. Yes, they freeze very well, I wrap mine individually, and thawing is a snap.
  3. The dough will be fine if you are doing the cookies in two batches and they do not have leavening in them except for the eggs.

Keto Crepes Suzette

Leave a reply

Keto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes Suzette.  Somewhere in one of the many recipes on this site I talked about having worked for the Broker Restaurants, a group of restaurants in Denver.  Mine was the Continental and it was the only one that did table-side cooking and yes, I wanted to increase my tips so when Eugene, our Maître d’ was busy, I would step in and do table-side for the other wait staff. One of the fancy dancy desserts we did was Crepes Suzette. Remembering that this was in the mid 70’s, a fully prepared table-side dinner was only between $9-$10. The crepes suzette was about $3. and that was a fortune back then. Whoa, those really were the good old days. Think of this; I lived up into the mountains, about a 50 minute drive, and sometimes had to work a split shift which meant a 2-3 hour afternoon break. I couldn’t go home & come back because the drive was too long but guess what I did get to do.

I went next door to the original Cherry Creek hole-in-the-wall (yeah only 950’ ft on 2 floors) Tattered Cover Bookstore and settled into the dreamworld that is books. Now, I would liken the Tattered Cover to Powell’s Books here in Portland, and Strand Bookstore in New York City. They are all three huge, they are iconic, and they are all independently owned and are NOT Amazon.

So, I have been a bit long winded and the keto crepes suzette recipe is so small and easy it’s ridiculous.  You will need a recipe for Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crepes to finish the dish.

Keto Chocolate Mocha Pie

Keto Chocolate Mocha PieKeto Chocolate Mocha PieKeto Chocolate Mocha PieKeto Chocolate Mocha Pie. This is another one of those desserts that I find difficult understanding how something so good can be keto but it is. Keto chocolate mocha pie is rich, decadent, fabulous and doesn’t need to be saved for special occasions. Except for baking the crust this is a cold pie and keeps well in the fridge but I’m guessing it will not last long anyway.  Despite how the recipe card looks this is a very, very easy pie to make.

Chocolate Mocha Pie
Print
Crust
  1. 1¾ C Almond Flour
  2. ½ C Ground Pecans
  3. ½ C Allulose*** (Paleo) Or 9 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  4. ½ C Melted Butter
Filling
  1. 1 Divine 85% Chocolate Bar
  2. 4 Eggs (Divided)
  3. ⅓ C Hot Water
  4. 1½ t Instant Coffee (More If Stronger Coffee Flavor Is Wanted)
  5. 2 t Vanilla Extract (Divided)
  6. 1½ C Heavy Cream
  7. ½ C Allulose or 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose (Or ½ C Sweetener Divided)
Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Put almond flour into a medium bowl.
  3. In a small processor add pecans, Allulose and process until pecans are ground.
  4. Add pecan mixture to almond flour stirring well, then mix in melted butter.
  5. Press into an 8” glass pie dish all the way around and to the top just like any regular pie crust.
  6. Blind bake crust 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees and then “tamp down” as it will puff up. Return to oven for about 5 additional minutes or until it starts to turn slightly brown. If it has puffed up again knock it back down. Put on counter to cool completely.
Filling
  1. Finely chop chocolate bar. You don’t want it chunky as your chocolate mixture won’t end up being smooth.
  2. Line up 3 bowls-2 medium and 1 large.
  3. Separate eggs making sure not to get any yolk in the whites. I do try to gently take the chalazae off the yolks as I don't want hard little cooked knots in my mousse.
  4. Put whites into 1 medium bowl and yolks into the large bowl, adding coffee, water, and or ½ of your sweetener.
  5. On medium low and whisking constantly, cook coffee yolk mixture until pretty hot and very frothy. Don’t worry, the eggs shouldn’t scramble because of the water content but you need it hot enough to eventually melt the chocolate.
  6. When yolk mixture is hot enough remove from heat, add 1 t vanilla, add grated chocolate all at once stirring to cover all chocolate, let it sit a minute or so and whip until all chocolate is thoroughly melted. Allow mixture to cool and it shouldn’t take too long. Chocolate will be very, very thick.
  7. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, first beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Making sure chocolate is cooled, FOLD in egg whites ½ at a time until well incorporated.
  8. In second medium bowl, beat whipping cream. Add vanilla & last 6 drops of sucralose or the other ½ of your sweetener.
  9. FOLD ⅔ of whipped cream into mixture until all is well incorporated and add to pie shell. Cover filling with remaining whipped cream and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes
  1. Before filling crust, make sure it is loose in the pie dish. It should not stick but once it's filled it might just a bit and that's not what you want.
  2. Not that this pie takes very long to prepare, but you can always make the crust ahead of time.
  3. If assembled just before service the crust will stay crunchy.
  4. Sorry for the crummy picture but hey, I'm a chef not a photographer and it shows quite well here.
  5. I sprinkled a little espresso powder on the pie---BIG mistake unless you do it just before serving as it immediately started to "melt". Probably best to use cocoa powder instead.

Keto Monkey BreadKeto Monkey BreadKeto Monkey BreadKeto Monkey BreadKeto Monkey BreadKeto Monkey Bread.  It’s been a whirlwind of recipes since I came up with Keto Rum Caramel Sauce.  and this will probably be the last recipe for more than a couple of reasons but have given you enough to branch out and come up with your own.  I have had this recipe for keto monkey bread on the drawing board for about 5-6 months.  It’s not that I’m not busy because I am, but one would think that with all the other new Carbalose Flour dessert recipes I have done recently, that I should have done this before now.  Every once in a while I have to hit myself in the head and say oops, I coulda had a V-8.  This is one of those times.  My problem was getting the nut mixture in between the little dough balls and of course it really turned out not to be a problem at all.  Several months ago I did a recipe for Rich Rum Sticky Buns and this keto monkey bread uses nearly identical ingredients (a bit more butter) and just put together a little differently.  So stop monkeying around and get to makin.  I have shown the keto monkey bread on a couple of plates but the idea is really to individually pull each ball by hand and eat it.  Incredibly, it is not sticky, yes it is messy, and your kids will love eating it with their fingers.  I personally think about 4 balls is plenty enough as they are filled with so much fat but…that is up to you. Really easy to eat and very easy to overeat because of the oh-so-high fat content.

That sweet little 8″ angel food cake pan is something I have had for 45-50 years so keep that in mind when choosing your cake pan size.  I have found the perfect 7″ tube/bundt pan by Fat Daddio on Amazon for 15.99.

Caramel Topping
  1. ¼ C Butter
  2. ½ C Allulose***
  3. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  4. 2 T Sugarfree Maple Syrup***
  5. 1 T Rum
  6. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  7. ⅔ C Un-Toasted Chopped Pecans (To Be Used Later)
  8. 1 t Butter (To Be Used Later)
Nut Filling
  1. ½ C Pecans
  2. ¼ C Allulose***
  3. 1½ t Cinnamon
  4. 6 T Melted Butter (To Be Used Later)
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Gluten
  4. ½ t Salt
  5. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  6. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  7. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  8. 2 T Warm Water
  9. 1 Large Beaten Egg
  10. 2 T 40% Heavy Cream
  11. 2 T Melted Butter
  12. 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  13. ⅓ C Warm Water + More As/If Needed 1 T At A Time
  14. 1½ T Yeast
  15. ½ t Sugar
  16. 1 t Orange Extract (This Is An Important Essential Ingredient)
  17. 1 t Butter (To Grease Bottom Of Pan)
Caramel Topping
  1. In a small sauce pan barely, and I mean barely, melt butter, add the allulose a little at a time until all is incorporated. (It’s gonna look ugly to begin with).
  2. Bring to very slow simmer, stirring occasionally and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until beginning to turn golden brown. It will begin to darken and get a little thicker. Now add heavy cream, syrup, rum & vanilla and simmer until as thick as you want it. (Additional 8-10 minutes and remembering that it will thicken further as it cools).
  3. The idea is to have an overall bit of bubbling for the total cooking period.
  4. If you have everything ready this can be made while you are baking your monkey bread.
  5. Cool to warm.
Nut Filling
  1. Put pecans, cinnamon, and Allulose in small processor and grind until nuts are finely ground. Set aside. This can be done a day or two ahead of assembly and trust me, it’s easier. I do mine the night before and it only takes a couple of minutes at most to do.
Dough
  1. Put first 6 ingredients in processor.
  2. Add 2 T warm water to flaxseed meal for 10 minutes, add to dry ingredients and pulse to mix.
  3. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  4. Add Sucralose, orange extract, and melted butter to top of bloomed yeast.
  5. Beat egg and add cream.
  6. Add egg mixture to bloomed yeast mixture.
  7. Start processor, add liquids, and process for 1-2 minutes or so.
  8. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  9. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky to begin with and as you are cutting and forming dough to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky. It's kind of like magic.
  10. Place dough in a small round pan, cover with film and let rise about 15 minutes.
Final Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Begin bringing caramel sauce to room temperature (if already made) and when ready, heat slightly until warm and slightly liquified to drizzle over finalized monkey bread.
  3. As lightly as is possible grease bottom of pan with 1 t butter. Evenly distribute ⅔ C un-toasted chopped pecans (they will get roasty-toasty in the oven). Butter is to hold the pecans in place more than anything else as the monkey bread will slip out with no help after baking.
  4. Invert dough onto countertop (or your trusty Silpat is perfect), cut dough in half and them cut into 24 pieces. Repeat with second half of dough for a total of 48 pieces.
  5. Working quickly and as best you can roll into balls and they DO NOT need to be perfect. (See Picture)
  6. Place 24 dough balls in kind of a zigzag around the bottom and on top of the pecans. Sprinkle with ½ of the nut filling and then drizzle with ½ the melted butter. Repeat with last 24 dough balls, nut filling and butter.
  7. Cover and allow to rise for about 20 minutes.
  8. Place monkey bread in oven for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Invert onto small serving plate with the pecans on top.
  10. Allow to cool for 6-8 minutes.
  11. Drizzle warmed caramel topping all over top & down the sides and voilà, it’s ready.

  1. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  2. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose (and have for over 9 years with zero ill effects) as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Keto Sticky Toffee Pudding

Keto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee Pudding.  Not sure how this recipe came about but I had been thinking about a sticky toffee pudding cake I used to make for a restaurant I worked in.  I used to tell people who ordered it for the first time that it would be free if…they could guess the sweetening ingredient in it.  I never did have to give a free piece away although I did hear some pretty funny answers.  Now if I had been in England I’d have lost every time as it is a favorite dessert there, on the menu in many a pub, and made with dates-lots and lots of dates.  I have to say it was disgustingly good but oh, the carb counts, they must have been horrendous and I have seen anywhere from between 66g and 80g.  So this is my rendition of a keto sticky toffee pudding and I think you will find it quite easy to make but most of all…you will love it.

Notes
  1. This is a very dense, rich dessert and I would suggest you not eat a very large piece to begin with. I personally would (and did) cut it into 12 pieces and if you need more-have another piece. It may take a while but after dinner and a piece of this pudding it will hit you and could make you feel very full.

Keto Rum Sticky Buns

Keto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky Buns. You know, it has been many years (10 and counting) that I have been making keto~lowcarb foods for myself (and you of course) and many times it just takes the time to actually make and post a recipe.  That is not the case here.  Posting a recipe involves many steps~It is not just making it and until I got the perfect Keto Rum Caramel Sauce that would work for these keto rum sticky buns, I couldn’t make them.  Well, I have that perfect caramel sauce now so it’s katy-bar-the-door and these are spot, spot on.  I posted a recipe for Cinnamon Walnut Rolls in February of 2014 where I talked about rich rum sticky buns so you can see that it has taken me over 5 years to come up with what I call (at least for myself), the perfect keto rum sticky buns and all I can say is they are beyond fabulous.  There are probably infinitely more new desserts I could do with the sauce but when you feel you have reached the top, and this is it for me, I think maybe I should just stop. Please DO NOT be intimidated by the list of ingredients as these buns are really pretty easy to make.

Because they are indeed so rich I am doing the recipe for either 8 buns, 9 buns, and a smaller 16 count bun for smaller eaters (that be me).  The caramel sauce is actually a fatbomb with zero carbs so put that in your pipe and smoke it and there are other things you can do with it like make Keto Pecan Pralines, use it as a dip for apples and…anything else that may come to your mind. The recipe for the caramel topping below is exactly ½ the Rum Caramel Sauce and my suggestion would be to make the whole recipe since you already know you can make a ½ recipe of the Pecan Pralines with left over sauce.  Lastly, I would like to say that these are a LOT EASIER than the recipe indicates and once you’ve made these keto rum sticky buns just once, you will understand what I am saying. They are not much more work intensive than any other cinnamon roll~they are just better.

  11. 2 T Barely Melted Butter

  14. 1½ T Yeast
  15. ½ t Sugar
  16. 1 t Orange Extract (This Is An Important Essential Ingredient)
Caramel Topping
  1. This can be made a day or two in advance (for times sake). Be sure to hide it in the fridge or someone will get into it. Bring to room temperature & heat slightly the day of final assembly.
  2. In a small sauce pan barely, and I mean barely, melt butter, take off heat, add heavy cream, syrup, rum, vanilla, and Allulose. Begin mixing until all is incorporated.
  3. Bring to very slow simmer, stirring occasionally and cook for about 16-18 minutes. It will begin to darken and get a little thicker. The idea is to have a very slow overall bubbling for the total cooking period.
  4. Cool completely.
  5. Refrigerate if not using until the following day. When ready to use bring to room temp.
Nut Filling
  1. Put pecans, cinnamon, and sweetener in small processor and grind until nuts are finely ground. Set aside. This can also be done a day or two ahead of assembly and trust me, it’s easier. I do mine the night before.
Bun Dough
  1. Put first 6 ingredients in processor.
  2. Add 2 T warm water to flaxseed meal for 10 minutes, add to dry ingredients and pulse to mix.
  3. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  4. Add Sucralose, orange extract, and melted butter to top of bloomed yeast.
  5. Beat egg, being sure to reserve 1 T and then add cream.
  6. Add egg mixture to bloomed yeast mixture.
  7. Start processor, add liquids, and process for 1-2 minutes or so.
  8. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  9. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky to begin with and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky. It's kind of like magic.
  10. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle, place dough in a small bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 10-15 minutes.
Final Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Begin bringing caramel sauce to room temperature.
  3. As lightly as is possible grease pan with ½ t butter. Evenly distribute ⅔ C un-toasted pecans (they will get roasty-toasty in the oven). Butter is to hold the pecans in place more than anything else as the buns will slip out with no help after baking.
  4. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop (or your trusty Silpat is perfect) and roll about 9” wide (for 8 rolls) or 10” wide (for 9 rolls) wide and about 14”-16" long. I basically cover my Silpat.
  5. Brush reserved egg wash 1” around the perimeter of dough.
  6. Spread ¼ C butter on dough, (if you have a small off-set spatula this works perfectly) this time leaving it about ½” around perimeter. Don’t cover all the egg wash as this is your “glue”.
  7. Sprinkle nut filling evenly on butter and roll making sure the bottom is tightly glued.
  8. Again, if you use a Silpat you will not need any bench flour.
  9. Take log roll off Silpat onto a cutting surface and with seam down, gently slice log into 8 or 9 buns about 1” wide.
  10. Place cut buns evenly in pan over pecans if using an 10"pie dish and for 9 buns put them 3 to a row in 3 rows in an 8"x8" square pan.
  11. Cover and allow to rise for 15-20 minutes.
  12. Place buns in oven for 30 minutes.
  13. Invert onto serving dish and now the pecans will be on top.
  14. Allow to cool for 14-16 minutes.
  15. Dot each bun with about 1 T caramel sauce, allow to melt slightly, spread completely, and they are ready to serve. If you have made and cooled your sauce while the buns are baking, you should be able to just drizzle it all over warm buns.

  3. Nutritionals include all ingredients and I have given them for 8 buns and 9 buns, depending on the size and shape pan (10" round pie dish or an 8"x8" square pan) you may wish to use.
  4. You may have a bit of caramel topping leftover so...you can use it on lowcarb ice cream, throw in more pecans and make a few pralines or um, get out a spoon and have at it.
  5. Now I hear tell that bacon, caramel and pecans are terrific together so if you want to add a few bacon bits to the top of your buns, by all means, do it.
  6. Yes, they freeze beautifully but if you have a family, they won't make it to any freezer.

Keto Pecan Pralines

Keto Pecan PralinesKeto Pecan PralinesKeto Pecan PralinesKeto Pecan PralinesKeto Pecan Pralines.  This was a long story so if you are interested in reading all of it please see the Rum Caramel Dip Sauce because this is an extension of that recipe.  Thus far, I have not gotten to the original goal of a Sugarfree Rich Rum Sticky Buns recipe…yet. It has been pushed aside until further notice. The original Caramel Dip is zero carb so the only carbs in this are from the pecans which of course only adds more fat too.  You only see 15 pralines on the pan because I only made half a recipe and I, uh, ate one before I got it down to begin freezing.  My last line will be:  Eat keto pecan pralines for health.

Keto Rum Caramel Sauce

Leave a reply

Keto Rum Caramel SauceKeto Rum Caramel SauceRum Caramel Dip SauceRum Caramel Dip Sauce Keto Rum Caramel Sauce.  The first time I tried testing keto rum caramel sauce I used Sugar-Free Maple Syrup but I wanted to see if I could make it without the maple syrup and using just water and maple extract. One of the things I love about testing a new recipe is when it comes out the way I think it should.  (And I have had my share of some dandy, expensive epic failures too).  I did try to make it with the water and yes, I failed~miserably~it curdled, you know like a broken sauce so…I had to go back to the sugar-free maple syrup.

Keto Rum Caramel SauceI think if you added pecans you could end up with some terrific Keto Pecan Pralines.  Just add pecans, put onto a papered sheet pan and refrigerate.  In fact when I am finished writing this I am going to just that and as you can see from the above link I have done just that.   I don’t have any idea how I come up with this stuff but I do and I am thankful.  I can’t guarantee results if you use anything other than Allulose*** and it is the only sweetener I use besides EZ-Sweetz Liquid Sucralose*** and there is virtually no Sucralose in this keto rum caramel sauce. (it’s in the SugarFree Syrup).  Keto rum caramel sauce could probably be called a fat bomb as they don’t have any appreciable carbs in them. Of course I needed to taste them and um, they are incredible.  When I began testing this it was to make a new recipe for Keto Rum Sticky Buns. Had two sisters I met on a lowcarb cruise 5 years ago coming to visit from back East and one of them has a sweet tooth but doesn’t like to cook so the Sticky Buns were going to be for her. (So surprise Holly~no sticky buns).  I hadn’t gotten that far as I became so enamored with the sauce I just decided to stop and pat myself on the back. I’ll get to those sticky buns…maybe…at some point.  The pralines may look sugared but rest assured. they are as smooth as a baby’s bottom and how could they not be?~they don’t have any sugar in them.  They were frozen in the picture and can be eaten right out of the freezer.  OK, so as of today May 19th, I have now made those Keto Rum Sticky Buns and they are absolutely out of this world good.

I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol (with or without oligosaccharides), food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  2. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.
  3. All I did to make those pralines was literally mix in chopped pecans, form, and drop onto a flat surface and freeze them. Yes, they freeze and can be eaten nearly right out of the freezer. If brought to room temperature they will become soft again so eat ‘em up fast.
  4. If you refrigerate it, (not necessary for immediate consumption) it will become more firm because of the butter so bring to room temperate before service and I imagine this will not last long with a family around anyway.
  5. The texture will be smooth as glass and literally melts in your mouth.
  6. Fabulous served with apple slices for a sweet treat after a satisfying keto~lowcarb dinner or ready for that sugar-free ice cream you make every once in a while.
  7. I have the 1968 edition of The Joy Of Cooking and there is a recipe for penuche which I used to make. This Rum Caramel Dip Sauce is reminiscent of that penuche minus the rum.
