Keto Flour Mix

Our keto flour blend combines the perfect ratios of various flour substitutes, creating an easy and convenient gluten-free all-purpose mix to use in almost any recipe.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

It uses small amounts of a few different ingredients, which makes each individual ingredient go farther and last longer. More bang for your buck!
Almond flour tends to be heavy on its own, and coconut flour soaks up a lot of moisture. By combining the two with a couple of other ingredients, though, you get a perfect all-purpose blend that mimics traditional flour.
Use it for baking! The coconut flour keeps baked goods fluffy without adding a coconut flavor.
For most recipes, this blend can be subbed in at a 1-to-1 ratio. Depending on the recipe, you may find you need more or less of this blend, or you may need to adjust the liquids in your recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

Keto Flour Ingredients

Oat Fiber – Oat fiber is a mild-tasting, fine powder made from grinding the hull (or shell) of oats. It’s great for adding fiber, which is super important on a keto diet.

Xanthan Gum – This is the binding and thickening agent in this keto flour blend. Since the other ingredients are gluten-free, xanthan gum is needed to make up for the lack of gluten.

How to Make Keto Flour

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

Combine all of the ingredients until everything is mixed super well, then store the flour at room temperature in an airtight container!

Chef’s Tips

You can totally swap ingredients or adjust the quantities to find the blend that works best for your preferences. Just keep in mind that any adjustments will make your final keto flour mix different from ours.
The macros will vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients you use. As a general rule, always look for brands with the lowest carb count. That being said, you may find that you love a certain brand that comes out to be a carb or two higher than a brand you hate, so it’s worth it to eat that extra carb.
Coconut flour soaks up a lot of moisture, so if you’re making substitutions, keep your total amount of coconut flour low.

What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”

Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!

Keto Grilled Cheese

With buttery homemade keto bread and gooey melted cheese, this delicious keto grilled cheese is a perfect low carb version of a classic childhood comfort food.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

It’s quick and easy! Go from ingredients to a fully-formed, ready-to-eat, keto-friendly grilled cheese in less than 10 minutes, using less than 10 ingredients.
The single-serving recipe makes it very easy to measure and track your nutritional information, since there’s no guessing on portion sizes.
Homemade low-carb bread gives this grilled cheese all of the fluffy goodness of a traditional sandwich with a fraction of the carbs found in traditional bread.

Keto Grilled Cheese Ingredients

Coconut Flour – This naturally grain-free and gluten-free flour comes from the meat of a coconut. It has a subtle coconut taste and smell, but it’s barely noticeable when mixed with other ingredients.

How to Make Keto Grilled Cheese

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

This super easy grilled cheese recipe uses the same bread as our Keto French Toast recipe!

Start by whisking together all the ingredients for the bread, then microwave the bread mixture for 90 seconds and cut it into two slices. Melt butter in a pan and cook the assembled grilled cheese in the butter until the bread is browned and the cheese is melty. Easy peasy! Enjoy your grilled cheese hot on its own or with a side of tomato soup.

Chef’s Tips

Use a 4×6 or 5×7 baking dish for your bread, as a larger dish will make the bread too thin.
Our recipe calls for American cheese or cheddar cheese, but you can absolutely use any kind of cheese you like!
Add a little turkey meat to your sandwich before cooking for a delicious, keto-friendly turkey melt.

What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”

Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.

Smoked Turkey and White Bean Soup

This recipe for smoked turkey soup with white beans and veggies is a hearty, nutritious, and delicious way to use leftover smoked turkey.

White soup bowl with smoked turkey soup, carrots, celery, and Great Northern beans

What Makes This Recipe So Good

It’s so easy to make! Most of the cooking time is actually just the soup simmering to really bring out the flavors.
This is a great recipe for leftover smoked turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It’s warm and hearty, and way better than another boring turkey sandwich.
It’s a perfect freezer meal. Prepare the soup as instructed, and let it cool completely. Store it in an airtight container (or in a zippered freezer bag laid flat on a shelf) and freeze for up to six months.

Smoked Turkey Soup Ingredients

Smoked Turkey Meat – Specifically the meat from smoked turkey legs. It’s tender, juicy, and tastes a little like ham. Smoked turkey has a deeper, richer flavor than roasted turkey thanks to the use of smoke and the long cooking time. Turkey legs are generally available at most grocery stores, or you can check with a local butcher.

Great Northern Beans – A white bean similar to cannellini, Great Northern beans are high fiber, low fat, and have no cholesterol. They taste a little nutty and they’re super versatile. If you can’t find Great Northern beans, you can use Navy beans or cannellini beans for this recipe, though the flavor will be slightly different.

How to Make Smoked Turkey Soup

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

Whipping up this incredible smoked turkey soup could not be easier! Basically you just sauté all the ingredients in a large pot over medium heat, then bring it all to a boil with the chicken broth. Let everything simmer for at least 45 minutes and serve hot over a cup of cooked rice!

Chef’s Tips

Before cooking, separate the turkey meat from the bones and skin, and cut or shred the meat into bite sized pieces. Sometimes meat that was exposed during the smoking process will be tough and leathery – cut that away, too.
This recipe uses canned beans to keep things easy, but you can absolutely use fresh beans instead. You’ll need to soak dry beans in water for at least 8 hours to ensure they cook properly.
Smoked turkey meat adds a beautiful flavor to this soup, but whatever turkey meat you have on hand will work!
For more fiber and protein, use wild rice in your smoked turkey soup. It’s also a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
45 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed for this recipe to simmer on the stove. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be!

Keto Cranberry Sauce

This ridiculously easy keto cranberry sauce is the perfect holiday side. Made with fresh tart and sweet cranberries and no added sugar, it’s perfect if you’re trying to stay in ketosis this holiday season.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

One cup of cranberries has about 7 grams of net carbs, so you can easily add this dish into your keto Thanksgiving plan!
This keto cranberry sauce only takes about 10 minutes to cook, so it’s a great easy side that doesn’t take a lot of work or ingredients.

Fresh cranberries – Use fresh cranberries for a lightly tart, sweet burst of flavor
Orange zest – A little zest from an orange is optional, but it gives your cranberry sauce a bit of citrus of flavor and scent
Swerve – A great sugar substitute that fits in great with the keto diet, or if you’re watching your blood sugar. It also doesn’t have the artificial, chemical taste some other sugar subs have.

How To Make Keto Cranberry Sauce

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

Whisk the Swerve into a saucepan of water on the stove. Add the cranberries and let them cook until they start to pop and form a sauce.

Top Tips For Making

You can also use powdered or granulated erythritol instead of Swerve. If you’re not on a keto diet, you can use regular granulated sugar or maple syrup.
If you’d like to make this recipe ahead of time or you have leftovers, you can keep it in the freezer in an airtight container up to 3 months.

Cauliflower Chips

These cauliflower chips are the perfect healthy substitute for potato chips! Perfect for dipping and super customizable, they are the ultimate guilt-free snack.

What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

Cauliflower – Use a fresh head
Parmesan cheese – We prefer freshly grated, but you can also use shredded or powdered parmesan
Dried parsley
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Chili powder
Salt – To taste. We just used a pinch.

Spices for cauliflower chips in a glass bowl next to parmesan cheese in a white bowl

How To Make Cauliflower Chips

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until they’re tender.

Add the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and pulse a few times until they become crumbs.

Transfer the cauliflower to some cheesecloth and squeeze out any extra liquid.

Add the cauliflower to a large bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Mix with a large spoon or your hands until it becomes dough-like.

Scoop a tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Using the palm of your hand, flatten the ball into a chip about 1/8 of an inch thick. Place the chips on the baking sheet, making sure there is some space between each one.

Bake in the oven until they’re golden brown. Eat alone or serve with your favorite dip!

Top Tips For Making

Cauliflower makes for a great blank canvas, so you add any type of seasoning you like to these. Try them with chipotle powder, paprika, or any other spice you love.
Don’t skip the cheesecloth! You definitely want to remove as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower so that the chips don’t end up too mushy.
We used an Instant Pot to steam our cauliflower, but you could also use a stovetop or microwave.
These chips are absolutely delicious alone, but also amazing with dip. Try them with guacamole, queso, buffalo chicken dip, loaded baked potato dip, or whatever else you can imagine!
