Tips for keto baking

If you find baking therapeutic, you might enjoy learning more about keto baking, using our gluten-free, sugar-free, and keto-friendly ingredients.

Baking ingredients

Full-fat dairy: Because gluten-free dessert recipes can’t rely on gluten for structure, the proteins in dairy can help. The fat adds flavor and gives a softer texture to baked goods.

Eggs: Eggs add protein and fat to baked goods and provide structure while helping to bind recipes like cakes, custards, and pancakes.

Almond flour: Almond flour is made from finely ground almonds and is commonly used in keto baked goods to provide volume. It has a slight almond flavor and can make baked goods seem dense. It often works best when combined with other ingredients.

Coconut flour: Made from dried coconut, coconut flour is very thirsty. Baked desserts that use coconut flour often require a lot of eggs for structure. Coconut flour does have a light coconut flavor and tends to make cakes lighter, especially when used in combination with almond flour.

Ground psyllium husk powder: Psyllium fiber powder acts as a binding agent and can also help to give texture to keto desserts that use almond flour or coconut flour. Too much psyllium will make baked goods gummy. Some brands of psyllium will turn baked goods purple, which isn’t harmful but does look odd.

Chocolate: Cocoa powder behaves like flour and provides a soft texture to cakes or brownies. If you’re using chocolate solids, select a sugar-free baking bar and add your own sweeteners or use a chocolate that’s 85% or more cocoa.

Sweeteners: Many of our keto desserts use natural sweeteners. If you find that your taste buds have adapted to less sugar, then you may want to reduce the sweeteners called for in a recipe. Often cream, berries, or other ingredients provide enough sweetness. Our sweetener guide can help you find the perfect sweetener for your keto desserts.

Fruit: Nature’s candy can offer the perfect sweetener for your keto baked recipes. Berries in moderation can add just the right touch of sweetness.

Instructions

1. Bring the butter to room temperature.

2. Roast the shredded coconut carefully, over medium-high heat, until lightly browned. This will create a delicious flavor, but you can skip this if you want. Let cool.

3. Mix together butter, half of the shredded coconut, and spices in a bowl. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes, until slightly firm.

4. Form into walnut-sized balls. Then roll the balls into the remaining shredded coconut. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
