Low Carb Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes

These mini bundt cakes are delicious, easy to make and can be frozen and taken out for an individual treat or to share. They are delicious plain or you can add a glaze for a special treat.

Recipe

2 Cups Almond flour (ground raw sunflower seeds if you have nut allergies)
2 scoops (60 grams)Whey Isolate Protein Powder (I use Allmax's plain from Popeye's )
1/2 Cup Cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Coco Polo plain chocolate bars (or 6 ounces Lily's) Coco Polo
1/2 Cup Butter softened
1 Cup Boiling water
4 eggsl
1 cup Truvia I use this one
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2 mini Bundt cake pans (6 cakes per pan) with cooking spray or grease with avocado oil.
Combine the almond flour, Whey powder, Cocoa, salt and baking powder and set aside.
In a large bowl combine 6 ounces of low carb chocolate (I used 2 plain chocolate Coco Polo bars) with butter and pour the boiling water over them, whisking until completely melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl with electric mixer beat the eggs, Truvia and vanilla until frothy and light. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine the sour cream and baking soda and let sit for about 5 minutes to let it react.
Fold the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour mixture until well combined. Fold in the sour cream mixture.
Pour batter into the 12 mini Bundt pans ands bake for 25-30 minutes.
Approximately 5.5 net carbs per cake.
Optional: melt 3 ounces low carb chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream and drizzle over top and down sides of cakes to decorate.

Low Carb Peanut Butter Bread

I was chatting with one of the members of the Ketogenic Diet Open Discussion Facebook group  a few days ago and we started talking about foods we missed. Somehow peanut Butter and bread popped into the conversation. I have made this recipe before Perfect Peanut Butter Bread  and decided I wanted to make something similar for my blog. I think it is quite tasty! I hope you enjoy my version.

Low Carb Peanut Butter Bread

Recipe

1/2 Cup Almond Flour

1/2 Cup Whey Isolate Powder

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

3/4 Cup peanut butter (Or almond butter. I used a natural unsweetened peanut butter)

5 large eggs

3 Tablespoons Truvia (the one in the pot, not the blend)

Prepare a glass loaf pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper, spray the bottom and sides of pan. 

Preheat oven to 350 F

Combine the almond flour, whey Isolate protein and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside.

In a stand mixer beat together the peanut butter, eggs and Truvia until smooth.

Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and beat until well blended and smooth.

Pour into prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in centre comes out clean. 

Turn on to wire rack to cool completely.

This recipe does not have an eggy taste. 

Excepellent warm with butter of even toasted with some crushed berries. 

Makes 12 slices of approximately 2.5 net carbs each.

Enjoy.

Alternative recipe without Whey Isolate Protein as requested.
I only used 4 eggs, I used 1/2 Cup peanut butter, 1 cup almond flour instead of 1/2, and I used 1/4 cup Great Lakes Gelatin powdered collagen hydrolysante.
I had to bake for 45 minutes. It would better with 3/4 Cup peanut butter but I only had 1/2 Cup left.
