Keto Friendly Tortillas

If you asked me what I'd want my last meal to be, it would definitely be tacos. Mexican food is my weakness and favorite of all time. When I began my keto journey, I didn't know how I'd manage without beloved tacos, shells, chips, etc. Well This fills the tortilla void that I was so desperately needing.

This recipe is simple, easy, and really quick to throw together. All things I love when creating. It helps that they're really delicious too! The recipe is simple and doesn't include any weird ingredients, in fact, you probably have most of the stuff already if you follow a low-carb or keto lifestyle.

What you'll need:

• 8 Egg Whites
• 1/3 c Coconut Flour
• 8-10 Tbs Water
• 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

Optional Ingredients to Taste

• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Cumin

Mix all ingredients together until you get a thin batter. If it's too thick (like pancake batter) add more water a tsp at a time. Once mixed, use a 1/4 c measuring cup to make even sized tortillas in a heated, greased (cooking spray of choice) skillet. Once poured, swirl pan immediately to spread. Cook for a min (until you see bubbles form) then flip for another minute. Keep tortillas under a warm wet cloth to keep from drying out. Then devour as needed!

Almond Butter Keto Breakfast Waffles

Who doesn't love a good breakfast waffle? The butter and syrup dripping is just heavenly! When I started keto, I didn't think it was possible to have them ever again. How would I be able to have thick maple syrup while maintaining a keto diet? Well I found the secret, an amazing company called ChocZero. They have been my saving grace for syrups and of course chocolate. 

I whipped up these babies super fast, and they are delicious. I am not affiliated with these companies in any way, I just love them, so if I post about a particular brand, it means I totally love it and spend my own money on their amazing products! I will also link my favorite ingredients in the recipe list. 

What you'll need:

• 1/4 c Pecan Pie Almond Butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbs Melted Butter
• 1/8 c Almond flour
• 1/2 Tbs Sweetener of Choice
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (or you can play with flavors here)
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• Syrup of Choice (I use ChocZero, but you can use any sugar free version you prefer)

Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients. Combined mixed ingredients and pour onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. This recipe makes two full sized waffles, so feel free to double or triple the recipe to feed the whole family.

Cinnamon Honey Wheat Thins

 

Going along with my healthy sanckity snack kick is these Cinnamon Honey Wheat Thins.

My little loves anything cookie or crackers out of a box, but I figured I would make my own this time. Not only will I save money, but it's WAAAY healthier. I know what's going into these crackers which makes me happy happy happy!!

There's this blog that I fell in LOVE with reciently, and she is pretty amazing at coming up with healthy foods and snacks. Check her page out, because she is where I got my inspiration to make these healthy babies!! Weelicious is awesome!

 

What you'll need:

•  1 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
•  1/2 tsp Salt
•  1 tsp Cinnamon
•  4 Tbs Butter (I used unsalted, but either will work)
•  2 Tbs Honey
•  1/4 Cup Water
•  1/4 tsp Vanilla

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In your food processor, add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter. Pulse until combined, and looks like crumbs.

 

 

In a seperate bowl, mix together the water, honey, and vanilla. Slowly add it to the food processor until a dough forms.

Remove from the food processor and seperate into 4 equal parts.

 

 

Roll out each part on a smooth floured surface. You'll want to roll these as thin as you can. Try for like 1/16 of an inch. Yea I know that's really thin, but the thinner the better here. Some of mine where a bit thick and didn't give that crunch I was looking for, but still yummy none the less.

Once you roll them out, cut them into 1 inch squares. Carefully put them on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for about 5-7 minutes. They will burn VERY easily since they are so thin, so keep a close eye on them. They will get dark much quicker if you put them directly on a baking sheet, so if you don't have parchment paper or a Silpat liner, watch them closely.

 

 

These turned out great. Not too sweet. Just right, and the little LOVES them!

Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers

 

Today I was thinking of how tired I am of my little snacking on junk! I've had enough of this chip and cookie thing, that unfortunately, I've kinda let slide lately.

I was browsing the internet looking for healthy snackity snacks for my little to carry around that follows my criteria: easy, tasty, healthy, NON-messy, and definitely toteable!!! My little isn't a huge eater, more of a snacker. He eats a little bit of stuff several times a day. I guess this is why he has SOOO much energy, and I can barely keep up!

I came across a snack that met my criteria, so here we are!!

 

What you'll need:

•  2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (you can use the pre-shredded kind, but it may not melt as   well)
•  1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
•  1 Tbs any salt-free seasoning (I make my own, but there's tons of salt/MSG free seasonings at  the grocery store ie: mrs. dash)
•  6 Tbs Unsalted butter (chilled)
•  1-2 Tbs Water

Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Put the first three ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine.

 

 

Once combined, add the butter in chunks. Pulse until it forms a ball. You may need to add one or two tablespoons of water to form the ball. Use your own judgement.

Once combined, roll out on a well floured smooth surface. Roll out to about 1/4 inch think.

 

 

Cut out shapes or cut into squares. I used cookie cutters that I had, stars, triangles, and squares.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes depending on the size of your shapes. Just keep a close eye on them!

 

 

Our result turned out wonderful. I couldn't keep my little from getting into them. I even like snacking on them too....Healthy toteable snacks is what this is all about!
