Keto Cupcakes. Blueberry and Raspberry Lizza Muffins

Again from Lizza we tried their Low Carb Baking mix to make some little Keto cupcakes / Muffins
One batch from their cupcake recipe uses 1/2 the baking mix and makes 12 cupcakes

So following the recipe that comes with the book I got with their Starter Package which is fairly easy to follow, a little more involved than the bread mix needing almond flour, butter, eggs and sweetener but still not too difficult to follow
And then once the batter was added to the cupcake liners some fruit was added, in this case raspberries and blueberries

And they baked perfectly
They dont raise very much but still taste lovely and light and cakey - not too eggy at all. A very neutral not too sweet taste that makes the taste of the berries just POP

and they go very well with a little cream poured ontop to make them an even more indulgent treat

Stevia seems to check so many boxes. its GI score is 0 which means zero impact on the blood sugar and its natural So doing some baking over Christmas as well as using the xylotol (GI of 12) in the Lizza starter kit (see the last blog post for some of the treats we made out of that) I thought mixing in some of this Stevia from Morrisons would be a great idea - it would even lower the overall impact on blood sugar of

Keto Bone Broth. Chicken and Mushroom Soup

It is the time of the year where soups are very welcome and there is something comforting and cozy to having a fresh pot bubbling on the stove. In the Keto community 'Bone Broth' is all the rage. My Gran would be laughing so hard at this idea, in her day this was nothing special this was just how everyone made stock. Using up leftover bones and veg to boil down and make a nutritious stock base for any number of soups and stews was a normal way of life. But we have heard there are so many health benefits now so it is very worth doing. Usually I would recommend using leftovers from something you have already cooked but always with an eye for a bargain I found a ready cooked chicken portion in my supermarket for a reduced price. This means I miss out on all the yummy juices from roasting but who am I to walk away from a bargain. I ate the legs for my dinner one night and then popped the breast and all the leftover bones into a pot of water to boil You ca
