Recipes Cookbook - PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE SWIRL MUFFINS

PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE SWIRL MUFFINS |#Pumpkindesserts #Simplechocolatechipcookierecipe #Pumpkinrecipes #Homemadechocolatechipcookies #Ketopumpkinbread #Cinnamonbananabreadmuffins #Pumpkincreamcheeseswirlmuffins #Ketosnacks #Nocarbdiets #Ketorecipeseasy #Ketodietrecipes #Ketogenicrecipes

Ingredients

  • Muffin:
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin (pure pumpkin puree)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Cream Cheese Swirl:
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cups into muffin pan. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar and brown sugar.
  4. Beat in eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  6. Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter. This will not look smooth, but it will bake up much prettier. (You can see exactly how I did this in the video above.)
  7. Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. I liked these best at room temperature or even slightly chilled! Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Low Carb Cauliflower Breadsticks |#Lowcarbrecipes #Nocarbdiets #Vegetarianrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Ketogenicrecipes #Dietrecipes #Ketocheeseburgercasserole #Ketocasserolerecipes #Lowcarbdinner #Easyketorecipes #Easyketomeals #Healthycasserolerecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower raw
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Rice the cauliflower by coring it and breaking it into florets. Then place it in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it is the texture of rice. (If your cauliflower seems excessively moist, squeeze the riced, raw cauliflower in a paper towel to help remove moisture.)
  3. In a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until combined and holds together. Place the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out into a rectangle about 9x7" and 1/4" thick.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese and return to oven to continue baking until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Cool about 10 minutes and cut into 'breadsticks'. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite Red Sauce and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 4 to 5 ounces (heaping 1/2 cup) of siggi’s yogurt (vanilla 0% ) and additional 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup for topping pancakes
  • 1/2 c to 2/3 c tapioca starch/flour works best (potato starch, ground oats/oat flour, or almond flour can be subbed but see notes for adjustments)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg (nutmeg is optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • *Optional Toppings – Dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs, chopped nuts, and/or cinnamon.

Instructions

  1. First place eggs, carrot, banana and siggi’s vanilla 0% nonfat yogurt in a blender.
  2. Blend until creamy or liquefied.
  3. Add in your starch, baking powder, spices and vanilla. Blend again until smooth. Batter should have a pourable smoothie-like consistency.
  4. For thicker pancakes, add a bit more tapioca flour/starch. For crepe-like pancakes, keep starch at ½ cup. See notes for other starch/flour subs.
  5. Place batter in fridge to set for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from fridge once batter has set.
  7. Heat a skillet to medium high, adding a few teaspoons of oil to coat the pan.
  8. Once hot, scoop 1/3 cup batter and pour into the center of the pan. The batter will be thin, but easy to flip.
  9. Cook until the edges start to brown or the middle starts to bubble, which is usually no more than 2 minutes. Flip over and let pancake cook another 1-3 minutes. See notes for cooking times.
  10. Remove pancake and place on plate. Repeat to get seven pancakes. All 7 ½ inches wide.
  11. Top pancakes with extra siggi’s vanilla yogurt and optional nuts/cacao nibs.
