Keto Coconut Flour Waffle Bread

Keto Coconut Flour Waffle Bread

The most delicious Keto Coconut Flour Waffle Bread that you ever did see!

Delicious. Moist. Stupid easy and fast to make and I PROMISE YOU, the entire family is going to go wild over!!  This original recipe HERE was made with almond flour but I have so many friends in our FACEBOOK COMMUNITY that need a coconut flour alternative. This ratio is PERFECT, the taste is slightly sweet but not eggy at all, and I am so so happy to share it with you all!

Check out the FACEBOOK LIVE video I linked below for ALL amazing bread hacks and details! The is such a tasty and basic bread base with so much versatility!

My ONLY must have for this recipe to work perfectly as a WAFFLE BREAD is the DASH MINI WAFFLE IRON. If you don’t yet have one, they are under $10 and ahhhhhhmaazing for ALL the Keto things. But if you don’t have the mini waffle iron you can still make this recipe as a KETO FLATBREAD combo OR use your large waffle maker (the texture will just be different)!  So don’t fret!!

Now back to the recipe!  You can get fun and creative with the way you want to season it and have some amazing different flavors!  I have tried plain (just salt, no seasoning), Everything Bagel Seasoning, Garlic, Onion and Slightly Sweet (1-2 tbsp erythritol and a small sprinkle of yeast for that BREAD flavor!).

No matter which way you try it, they make the yummiest sandwich bread and so perfect for summer picnics and beach trips!  Listed below I have provided what I would do in using my “Everything Bagel” recipe because it is my current obsession!  Use the “slightly sweet” to make the kids PB&J’s!!  So many amazing ways to eat this DELISH bread! 

And yes… I unashamedly have 3 mini waffle irons because 1-they are dang cute and 2- it makes cook time SO fast! I can have a batch done in under 10-12min!

Low Carb Pulled Pork Waffle

Low Carb Pulled Pork Waffle

by | Jul 26, 2019 | Ketogenic

Yes. Thats right. Pulled Pork on a WAFFLE!

Hear me out before you gasp at such a claim! You know how people love the combination of sweet and savory!? Carmel cheddar popcorn or chicken and waffles? THIS amazing combo is just like that but BETTER because I found the perfect Low Carb BBQ Sauce that I can’t wait for yall to experience! (And y’all have been asking me FOREVER to find the best… and trust me… this is the BEST!)

Before we get to the super simple way to make the pulled pork waffles, I want you to meet my new friends at ALTERNA SWEETS and get to know their amazing low carb sauces!  I love that they are made with our beloved, keto friendly STEVIA!  I have tried to many other brands that are low carb but I am super picky about my ingredients and really don’t personally prefer the taste of Sucralose or some of the varieties of stevia that leaves that strange aftertaste!. 

So I searched and hunted and finally found my beloved new friends at AS!  I tried the Smokey BBQ sauce and Spicy Ketchup and y’all its D E L I S H. My husband is VERY particular and VERY picky about his sauces and he said, (and I quote), “Even if I didn’t eat Keto, I would 100% eat this BBQ sauce… this is everything I have been waiting for!!”

There you have it. Honest feedback from a very particular BBQ guy. I mean I guess we have reason to be picky since we met and married in Kansas City.  Its like the BBQ capitol of the world in our opinion HA HA!!  This week alone I have made the Pulled Pork waffle from this post, BBQ wings and we have drizzled it on Waffle Bread sandwiches too for a wonderful and flavorful KICK!  

Obviously we are obsessed…
I mean its been 3 years without a true BBQ sauce, so we are going BIG!

Xo, Rachael Dee

One of the hardest things on Keto has been to find a sweet yet SMOKEY BBQ sauce that isn’t loaded up with sugar! Some sauce you can get at the store or at a restaurant can be 22-25 carbs PER 2 Tbsp… I mean who ever ever ever only uses 2 tablespoons!? But AlternaSweets has created some of the BEST, thick and hearty sauces with Stevia and they are 2 net carbs per serving!

As always, we want to make sure we are watching our portion sizes with anything Keto we consume.  Because let’s be honest, even too much of a good thing can be BAD!  Meaning, don’t pour half a bottle on your ribs next time you make them… even though its low low carb!

I loved that the richness of the sauces were bold enough that we didn’t need too much and could really keep our carbs LOW!  I think I used about 1.5-2 Tbsp on the waffle and it was PERFECT!

This waffle recipe is really just a thrown together simple meal idea that we had 2 nights in a row. It was seriously THAT GOOD. If you prefer a crispy bread as a base, check out the FB live video i did a while back for using the PIFFLE (Stupid Easy Bread Base) instead of the WAFFLE BREAD. Both are so delicious and so versatile!

I pulled a “tired mom card” this week and got the Pre Pulled Pork from Sam’s and it was PERFECT for this quick and easy meal! But any shredded meat would do!  You could shread some rotisserie chicken, make some pulled pork in your Instant Pot or even used leftover ribs! Anything that you would want to drizzle BBQ sauce on will work PERFECT!

Here are the basic instructions for the Pulled Pork Waffle and the multiple variations!  I would love to hear below in the comments what you came up with and how much you love the sauce!   

OH! Don’t forget to use code RACHAELDEE at checkout to save 5% on your order! 

LOW CARB PULLED PORK WAFFLE:

For the waffle base, there are a few amazing choices! Click on the links to find your desired texture!

-Waffle Bread HERE for soft and moist base
-Piffle Bread HERE for crispy and crunchy

If you don’t have a waffle maker, don’t fret!

-This FLATBREAD RECIPE will work amazing
-The Stupid Easy Bagel Recipe is also a classic!

For the Meat options, there are so many choices!

We ended up using pre shredded Pulled Pork from Sam’s but you could easily make it in your Instant Pot!

IP PULLED PORK:
-3lbs boneless pork roast cut up into cubes
-Salt and garlic to taste (Liberal amounts in my opinion!)
-1 cup chicken stock

DIRECTIONS:
-Season cubed pork with salt and garlic and set aside. 
–optional: you can sear the pork in a skillet to brown.
-Add chicken stock to bottom of Instant Pot
-Add meat to liquid
-Close lid and seal shut
-Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 40 minutes
-Once time is up, allow to release naturally (10-15min)
-Once release is finished, remove pork and shred with forks

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:
Place 1-2 waffles on a plate per person
Once meat is shredded, portion about 1/3-1/2 cup of pork per waffle, per person.
Add 2-3 TBSP AlternaSweets BBQ Sauce per waffle!

Devour and ENJOY my friends!!  This recipe is simple, versatile and surprisingly delicious!  I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did and you get creative with all ways you can make this easy dish!

Low Carb Double Chocolate Brownie

Low Carb Double Chocolate Brownie

by | Jul 11, 2019 | Ketogenic

Did someone say low carb, double chocolate brownie for the win!!? I think I did!!

Honestly yall I really don’t know how these things happen to me. I get so inspired in my kitchen and never ever check my ingredients to make sure I have everything.

It seriously happens ALL. THE. TIME. 

And then I get these accidental creations that are SO GOOD.
Both you and the hubby benefit in my opinion!
I mean seriously… everyone loves a low carb brownie!

SinceI was out of baking chocolate in all forms, this is where I just haaaaaad to substitute Choc Zero chocolate squares because I was out of baking chocolate… boo hooooo hoooooo LOL!

But in all seriousness, it turned out WAY better than expected! I whipped up some cream for a topping then drizzled it with Choc Zero’s chocolate syrup (which if you have yet to try, Im not even sure we can still be friends. Its thick like fudge and SO SO SO GOOD!)

Ok ok back to the beauty of this low carb brownie!  If you don’t have the chocolate squares, you can stick to baking chocolate or even dark chocolate baking chips. Basically you just want lots and lots and lots of chocolate to make this AHHHHHHMAZING!

This is such a good treat for birthday parties, special occasions and all things pot luck to impress the masses!  Its decadent so a little little bit goes a long way!!!

Are you a big chocolate fan!?  Im dying to know yur favorite Keto/Low Carb chocolate recipe!  If you can, comment below so I can get busy making ALL THE THINGS with my favorite chocolate everrrrrr!  (Oh and use code RACHAEL DEE for 10% off yall!!)

Thank you ALWAYS for your support!

Rachael Dee

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Butter
4-5 Choc Zero Chocolate Squares 
     OR 4oz semi sweet baking chocolate
1/4 cup Brown Sugar Swerve Sweetener
1/4 cup Erythritol granular sweetener
1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Finely ground Almond Flour
1/2 Cup Lilys Low Carb Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)  

DIRECTIONS:

-Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8 inch baking pan with butter or coconut oil. 
-Melt butter and Chocolate Squares over medium low heat 
-Slowly stir in both sugars and add vanilla. Set in fridge to cool for 5-10min. 
-Once cool, add eggs and mix well (Hand mixer or KitchenAid works well for this)
-Stir in flour and mix well. (Almond flour won’t toughen if you over mix.) 
-Stir in chocolate chips and additional nuts
-Spread in baking pan and bake for 30-32min till center cooked all the way through. 
-Let cool on counterforce 60min or in fridge for 30 before cutting. (Cut into small squares. Should yield 16-20 small brownies)
-Top with low carb ice-cream, homemade whipped cream or Chocolate Zero Chocolate sauce (And don’t forget to use code RACHAELDEE for 10% off!!)  

Enjoy and savor each decadent chocolaty bite!

*To make a whipped cream topping, do a quick google search!  I wasn’t a huuuuuge fan of the one I made and never want to share anything with you till its PERFECT… So if you have some good whipped cream, please send it my way!! xox
*I do not have macros calculated as you might use different ingredients and size you choose to cut. To lessen overall carbs, you can omit chocolate chips completely and it will still be delicious!   Each brownie should be roughly 2-3 net carbs. 

 Cheers & Ketones,

 Rachael Dee
