Keto Desserts

What makes an alternative flour Keto friendly?

Any flour that is grain or wheat based is not a Keto approved flour. These flours are high in carbohydrates, which will raise blood sugar levels and take you out of the ketosis state. Keto-friendly flours are low in carbohydrates and often made from finely ground seeds, nuts, or other fibers.

What are some tips for baking with Keto-friendly flours?

Do not substitute Keto compliant flours for all-purpose flour without adjusting the measurements. Different types of Keto flours have varying consistencies and amounts of fiber, which means they don't have the same ratios for recipes. Don't grind your own nuts at home to make flour. You won't be able to grind the nuts to a fine enough texture.

What are other dessert ingredients that are Keto compliant?

The list of Keto-friendly dessert ingredients is extensive. You can bake with eggs, cream cheese, butter, yogurt, coconut cream, cocoa powder, and almond butter. Keto-compliant sweeteners include stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, and xylitol.
