Low-Carb Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

September 11, 2012 By elviira 38 Comments

Marshmallow fluff is not the easiest thing to convert into low-carb. Commercial sugar-laden versions have high-fructose corn syrup as main ingredient — which is really bad, bad, bad. And sticky. With low-carb ingredients you cannot get that sticky result, at least not easily. But since I’m not in favor of stickiness, I created this yummy airy, fluffy frosting as healthier low-carb alternative to fill and frost your baked goods.

Chocolate Mini Muffins

July 21, 2012 By elviira 36 Comments

I bake over and over again these gluten-free, sugar-free low-carb chocolate mini muffins. Usually baked goods made with coconut flour get rock hard when stored, but these muffins stay soft and moist even for few days in a room temperature. I made a lot of experiments until I was satisfied, and now I’m happy to share my best results with you. Here you are, hope you like this recipe as much as I and my family do!

Grain-Free Crackers with Olive Oil (Dairy-Free)

July 6, 2012 By elviira 6 Comments

When making experiments with my 1-2-3 Bread I once brushed the loaf generously with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkled with unrefined sea salt. The crust was crunchy and deliciously salty. That gave me an idea to try out crackers with the same method — almond flour and eggs, brushed with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled salt on top.

After few attempts I found the best ratio between almond flour and eggs. Then adding olive oil and salt wasn’t much of rocket science. The result: simple but delicious, very very addictive crackers. Easy to modify as well, of course.

1-2-3 Bread (Dairy-Free)

June 14, 2012 By elviira 151 Comments

I don’t remember how many experiments were needed that I was satisfied with this recipe. I just can say many, and maybe some more. All I wanted was a really simple recipe for easy gluten-free low-carb bread made from ingredients you can find from almost every grocery store, or at least every health food store. A bread, which is easy to vary and makes a nice base for sweet and savory toppings alike.

Finding the best ratio between these simplest ingredients took looong time. Luckily my toddler and my husband loved most of the results, so did my parents whenever they happened to visit us and I was in the mood for baking (well, I’m always in the mood for baking…) I bet you’ll like this simpler than simple recipe, so enjoy!

Quick Mocha Pudding

June 13, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

Last week I was fancying rich and creamy pudding. Vanilla pudding would have been too — well, vanilla. Chocolate pudding could have been a nice option, but I wanted something a bit more full-flavored so I ended up with mocha pudding. You can easily modify this versatile delicacy to plain vanilla or something more interesting. I’ll give some ideas in the end of this post.

Simple and Easy Low-Carb Lemon Curd

May 31, 2012 By elviira 24 Comments

I had never made lemon curd before since I’m not that big fan of lemon flavor. The idea of simple low-carb lemon curd was however so tempting, that I wanted to try and develop it. Many lemon curd recipes are quite complicated. Separating eggs, grating some lemon zest, melting the butter, using a double boiler, … I wanted something simple and easy. I think I reached my goal, at least I immediately fell in love with this low-carb lemon curd and I wasn’t even a fan of lemon flavor before! I hope you like it as well.
