Recipe: Keto Brownie Cupcakes

So, based off the fact that I'm posting not one, but TWO "sweet" recipes for y'all today, you can probably figure out that I've got quite a sweet tooth. A couple weeks ago, I randomly felt like experimenting in the baking department and seeing if I could create a cakey-keto-brownie that I actually liked. I tried a ruled.me recipe for a chocolate mug cake a few weeks back it was GROSS. Like, throw away after the first bite, gross. Note, I've never made brownies from scratch before, but for some reason (probably to avenge the failed mug cake experiment), I thought it was something I could try. And they turned out really great! I made a small batch for my husband and I one evening and we had them warm with a scoop of vanilla halo top. Delicious!

Unfortunately, I have no low quality pictures of the cooking process for you all, but you'll just have to use your imaginations. 😉

Lastly; every time I post a baking recipe, I get asked if it's OK to swap coconut flour for almond flour. My super-helpful answer to that is, "I don't know, probably." I realize that isn't what people want to hear, but the truth is I just don't work with coconut flour as much. I have figured out almond flour pretty well, which was a relationship that took time for me to development after I broke up with white/wheat flour, and I just haven't taken the time to get to know coconut flour. So, if you're wondering if that's an OK substitution, "I don't know, probably." It may change the texture a little bit.

Recipe for Keto Brownie Cupcakes

- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups stevia
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips

Beat together eggs and stevia. Add in butter. Beat in cream and vanilla.

In another bowl, mix together dry ingredients, then add this mixture to wet ingredients. Stir until thoroughly combined, then fold in chocolate chips.

Bake in a muffin tin at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. When you take them out, they should still feel a bit moist/soft. Let rest, and enjoy!

I was so eager to eat this, I forgot to take any pictures that weren't terrible. But trust me when I say, they're forget-to-take-an-IG-picture-delicious. :)

Recipe: Cheesecake Fruit Dip

Happy Memorial Day! Later today we are going over to my parent's house for a family dinner and yesterday I was perusing the Aldi for something fun to bring along with us. They had some great looking keto-friendly-fruit (berries) for super cheap (which, let's be honest, that's why we love Aldi!). So I grabbed a bunch (all for under $5) and decided to come up with a fruit dip that would compliment it. I used to create a fruit dip that was [delicious, but] chock full of sugar that was cream cheese, cool whip and sweetened condensed milk. Every once and a while, I would try to reign in the sugar by buying "light" or sugar free cool whip, but still, the sweetened condensed milk accounted for everyone's carbs for the day (or week). Anyway, it was one of my favorite things to make for a party, and I wanted to come up with a keto friendly alternative. On instagram somewhere, a friend posted a recipe for keto condensed milk, and I'll try that one day, b...

Body Image While On a Weightloss Journey

So, today I wanted to write about something that is very personal for me - and that's maintaining self esteem while on a weight loss journey. Throughout my struggle with my weight over the last few years, my self esteem and body image has taken some massive hits. I have had lots of "I look like THAT?" moments, followed by several more "I STILL look like THAT?" The first time it really hit me how overweight I had gotten was at my son's second birthday party. I put a LOT of work into his Toy Story party and the end result was SO cute. I had gone pinterest-crazy and spent way too much money on a two year old's birthday, but I was SO pleased with the result. So much so that I hired a family friend to come take professional pictures. The pride I had felt in regard to his party quickly dissipated when I saw how I looked in the pictures. At first glance, all you see in this picture is a young, happy family - but for me, these photos represent how far gon...

Let's Get to Know Each Other

Hello There! My name is Rebekah and I'm a 28 year old Mom of three from Tampa, Florida. I am on a journey to better overall health with the help of keto. I started this site as a way for me to archive all of the things I've learned and am still learning along the way, and to hopefully help others achieve their weight loss goals with a ketogenic diet. I started my weight loss journey in 2015. I was tipping the scales at 265 lbs, the heaviest I've ever been in my life, after several long months of dealing with depression, anxiety, and turning to binge eating for relief. I lost about 40 lbs by cleaning up my diet, starting to exercise, and just generally being more active. Fast forward to Spring of 2016 and, surprise! I found out I was expecting my third baby! I have battled with thyroid disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and hashimotos thyroiditis, so my fertility odds have always been low. However, God saw fit to bless my husband and I with another sweet baby and we ...
