I’ve done lots of keto mug bread experiments. I posted one recipe, which was pretty close to this one, on Facebook a couple of years ago. But that recipe contained flaxseed, which I don’t use anymore because there are so many problems with it (see below!), so I use chia seeds in this recipe instead. They lend a delicious crunch to this easy-to-make 90-second keto bread.

Easy Egg Gratin with Sriracha Sauce
First of all, I want to thank Gladys — my dear friend and reader — for this wonderful recipe idea. She sent me an old Hard Boiled Eggs Gratin recipe that was found in a wooden trunk which had been hidden away in the corner of a dusty attic for generations.
I was immediately intrigued with egg gratin; it sounded like a perfect idea and looked gorgeous. Actually, I made several experiments when perfecting the recipe — you can read more about them in this post. This variation is my absolute favorite, though, because it’s so tasty: Sriracha (or homemade Sugar-Free Sweet Chili Sauce) is a great companion for this easy, nearly-zero-carb egg gratin.

Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud
Last week, I learned that Eggs on a Cloud is a kinda Instagram hit now — my husband showed me an article in a German online magazine. You know Eggs on a Cloud? Where you place a whole egg yolk on top of stiff-beaten egg whites, looking like the bright-colored yolk is floating on a soft, white cloud? The idea is certainly fascinating, and I immediately got several ideas of how to vary and improve the basic recipe, naturally keeping it still simple.
In this post, you will find my experiments and variations as well as the ultimate, super-scrumptious Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud recipe! You couldn’t imagine how simple this tasty and practically zero-carb dish actually is!

Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding
Those who are familiar with me know I cannot start my day without a big mug of strong, black coffee. A good start for the day simply cries for the sumptuous smell of coffee, which wakes up all your senses. And when you taste the first sip of freshly-made coffee, you feel each cell in your body wake up. Ok, maybe I’m a coffee addict, but that’s not too bad of an addiction, I think.
For a change, I enjoyed my morning coffee in another form. To be honest, I haven’t been a big lover of the extremely trendy chia puddings, maybe because I don’t like chia seeds. Well, to be even more honest, I haven’t even tried chia pudding, so I cannot really tell if I like it or not!
I got rid of my lack of knowledge, and did some low-carb chia pudding experiments. The winner proved this Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding, which is a perfect all-in-one breakfast, including that sumptuous coffee! I’m sure you will love it, too.

Instead of using harmful starch for replacing gluten-filled flours, this bread uses coconut flour and psyllium — fantastic and healthy low-carb alternatives to rice flour, tapioca flour and other questionable starches which too often are used for preparing gluten-free bread. Because of psyllium, just remember to drink plenty of water when eating this bread.

Egg “Porridge”
Here is a fascinating (and satiating!) option for those who are after porridge or oatmeal for breakfast but are lacking proper gluten-free and ketogenic oatmeal recipes. This sweet, creamy and rich breakfast “porridge” keeps you satisfied for hours. (NB. There is a dairy-free version at the end of the post!)
This creation is quite close to scrambled eggs, but grainier, creamier, and sweeter. In fact, when spiced with cinnamon, it resembles rice porridge that we eat here in Finland during Christmas time. It also reminds me of Milchreis (“milk rice”), that Germans eat any time.
If your daily quota of carbs allows, top this porridge with berries or slices of apples or peaches. Berries are highly recommended because of their valuable nutrients.
