Keto Baking Essentials • Almond Flour • Almond flour is used in most keto dessert/baking recipes. You can substitute other nut flours for nut flours. However, it is not interchangeable with coconut flour in recipes. • Coconut Flour • Coconut flour is good for adding some bulk to the recipe, but it is very absorbent. A little goes a long way. • Sweetener • Sweeteners are becoming more and more available on store shelves these days. They are erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, and allulose. Brands that I like are Pyure, Swerve, and Lakanto. Granular sweetener has a texture closest to refined sugar, powdered sweetener has a texture closest to confectioners sugar, and golden sweetener is a great substitute for brown sugar. You should make note of the sweetness of each one, as some are sweeter than others. • Cream Cheese • I opt for full fat cream cheese because the carbs are lower than those of reduced fat options. • Butter • When choosing butter, opt for salted. This will cut out the need for adding salt in the recipe. • Eggs • Half & Half • Heavy whipping cream • Sour cream • Unsweetened almond milk • Baking powder • Unsweetened cocoa powder • Non-stick spray or parchment paper • No sugar added peanut butter

Baking Guide and Info Each recipe will specify that always use the granular (this version of sweetener. You monk fruit, or allulose. I do sweetener (i.e. liquid stevia).
a sweetener is needed. I will look like white sugar) can use erythritol, stevia, NOT use a liquid version of
If a recipe calls for “Golden” sweetener, it is usually a necessary ingredient to boost the flavor of the recipe. This is what is use as a ketofriendly replacement for brown sugar. However, if you can’t find the golden sweetener, most recipes will be okay if you use the regular keto-friendly granular (white) version. Just keep in mind that the taste will still be good, but will vary slightly.
If a recipe calls for “Powdered” sweetener, this is usually necessary for the recipe’s consistency to turn out right. This may sometimes be known as confectioners style sweetener. If you can’t find this in the stores, you can make your own. See recipe for Powdered Sweetener.
When cocoa powder is called for, make sure you are using one that has no sugar or sweetener in it. It should be unsweetened cocoa powder. Not a cocoa powder mixture or blend.
Some recipes will include suggested or “OPTIONAL” toppings. The nutritional information does not include those items, as they will vary based upon which ones you choose.
When it comes to oils in baking, I suggest you use the kind that you are comfortable with. In baking, EXTRA LIGHT TASTING olive oil works beautifully.
If a recipe calls for peanut butter (no sugar added) there’s a great possibility that the jar will not say “No Sugar Added or Sugar Free”. You will need to look at the specific ingredients listed on the back of the jar and make sure it doesn’t have “sugar” or “high fructose corn syrup” or “fructose” listed.
You’ll notice throughout the book, that I use parchment paper a LOT! This is not to be confused with wax paper. They are two different things and serve very different purposes.
Often times this is a convenience item that makes cleanup easier for me, but you don’t have to use it as much as I do

Net Carbs & Sugar Alcohols How to Calculate Net Carbs: Each recipe within this book has the Nutritional Information aka “Macros” listed per serving. Here’s how to calculate the Net Carbs in each serving: Carbs - Fiber = Net Carbs Sugar Alcohols: Sugar alcohols are sweeteners that look and mostly taste like “regular” sugar, but they don’t spike your glucose levels. Thus, they are considered to be keto friendly options when baking and cooking. When reading a Nutrition Facts label, if sugar alcohols are listed, those should be subtracted as well. They may or may not be listed in the Nutrition Facts label. Keto-friendly sweeteners Stevia Erythritol Monk fruit Allulose Xylitol (don’t use this one if you have pets in your home) If sugar alcohols are listed, here’s how to calculate Net Carbs: Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alcohol = Net Carbs
