Carrot Cake Muffins for Breakfast…or anytime
Who says you can’t have cake for breakfast… not me! I find that cakes made with just almond flour or mixed with coconut flour turn out dry, heavy, flat and the texture is just not the best. I’ve started halving the almond flour and replacing that half with fibre flour. The texture is nicer, they’re…

Surprisingly enough it worked. Keto Tahini and Maple Blondies Ice Cream Ingredients 3 eggs 125ml/1/2 cup Sugar free Maple Syrup, I…
