INTRODUCTION

If you have been following a Ketogenic diet, I want you to know you don’t need to deprive yourself of some of the good food you love to eat, especially if you are a traditional lover of bread like me. Taking bread away from my menu list is like denying me of the right to eat.  I am a bread lover and also have a sweet tooth. The very first challenge I encounter on my Ketogenic diet journey was the restriction on sugary, starchy food and sweet treats, since I had to cut down on my carbohydrate intake.

Fortunately I found out I can be on a keto diet and still eat keto fat bombs, low carb keto bread and other wheat and gluten loaves. It was a saving grace.

I want you to understand that being on Ketogenic diet you can still enjoy that fresh tasty bread, straight from your own oven and all the keto sweet treats like muffins, cookies, easy bites, brownies, low carb ice cream etc., containing a small amount of carbs and only the needed fats your body needs to stay on ketosis.

In this cookbook I will be taking you step by step on some of the essential kitchen utensils for low carb cooking and baking, some of the best sweetener you can use on keto diet and some of the sweeteners you need to avoid. I will be giving you a hint on how to substitute for each of the low carb sweetener of your choice. This book will introduce you to the world of Ketogenic diet with idea of bombs and traditional low carb baking, three great combination that gives you a single outcome. You will find many traditional recipes from all around the world. Mostly made with gluten -free flours like coconut and almond flour.

ESSENTIAL KITCHEN UTENSILS FOR LOW CARB COOKING AND BAKING

1. KITCHEN SCALES

One of the essential secret of a perfect low carb baking is knowing the right measurement of your ingredients. This is where the kitchen scales comes in handy. It takes away all the guesswork out.

2. SILICONE BAKEWARE

These are handy, flexible mold that serves as a substitute to traditional tin bakeware.

Low carbohydrate baking are mostly a bit fragile, especially when just coming out of the oven. This is because the lack of gluten low carb ingredients such as coconut and almond flour. One of the great thing about silicon molds is, you won’t have any problem releasing your bread or muffins. Say bye to paper cup.

3. MEASURING SPOONS AND CUPS

These are second alternative to kitchen scales. Generally in the UK, most ingredients are measured in grams and liters but US mostly make use of cups. Get yourself good set of US measuring cup and spoons, a lot of bloggers on the net are US based, many make use of US measuring cups and that is what you should do so you won’t miss out

4. PARCHMENT PAPER

Making use of parchment paper can make your baking and cleaning up effortless. Just line your baking pan with parchment paper before you place to the oven, you won’t have anything stuck to the pan and you can easily discard the parchment paper after use.

5. A DECENT NON-STICK FRYING PAN

The low carb diet is one that contains a lot of fat, so many times we fry. If you don’t want most of your food getting stuck on the pan, then NON-STICK FRYING PAN is just the perfect tool you need. I use it for many of my dished, such as scrambled eggs, chicken curry, Radish Chips.

6. STORAGE CONTAINERS

Organizing is an important part of my life, now that am on a low carb diet, am not permitted to hop into the supermarket and buy ready meal. What I do is, always make enough portion of everything and store the leftover in the container in refrigerator or freezer. This helps me to get organized and never run out of supplies.

7. STICK BLENDER

I make use of my stick blender all the time, it doesn’t take much space and easy to use to perfectly combine my ingredients. Hand immersion blenders is one of the handy equipment you need in the kitchen for low carb baking.

8. FOOD PROCESSOR OR HIGH POWER BLENDER

These two are perfect for shredding and slicing vegetables, mixing dough, cauliflower rice, nut butter and soup effortlessly and lots. It’s a good investment when you are on a low carb diet and want to be a master in the art of bread making.

THE 6 BEST SWEETENERS ON A LOW-CARB KETO DIET AND SWEETENERS TO AVOID

A ketogenic lifestyle is one that involves cutting back on foods that are high in carbohydrate like process snacks, desserts and starchy foods. To stay on ketosis (a state where your body continuously break down fat as the primary source of energy in place of carb

Ketosis also demands a reduction in sugar intake, which is a challenge to baked goods, beverages, sauces and dressings.

The good news is, you can choose from this list of different low-carb sweeteners and enjoy in moderation as you like.

List of best low-carb sweeteners for keto diet — plus sweeteners you should avoid.

1. Erythritol

Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol that comes in comes in granulated and powdered forms. What it does is to stimulate your tongue's sweet receptors taste to mimic the taste of sugar. It may help lower blood sugar levels in your body. It contains about 0.2 calories per gram and it’s up to 80% as sweet as regular sugar. Erythritol can be used for all kinds of cooking and baking. What to note is, it does not dissolve easily like sugar and has a cooling mouth feel. For each 200 grams (1 cup) of sugar, substitute about 267 grams (1 1/3 cups) of Erythritol.

2.  Monk Fruit Sweetener

Monk fruit is a natural sweetener derived from the monk fruit.  Consuming this type of sweetener does not add carbs or calories and can be used for all your keto diet recipes.

Monk Fruit contains natural sugars compounds known as mogrosides, a kind of antioxidants that measure the level of sweetness of the fruit. Usually about 100–200 times sweeter than sugar, depending on the total level of mogrosides concentration.

Always check the label when buying, it is at times mixed with other sweeteners, molasses or sugar that can give a different outcome to the calorie and carb content.

3. Stevia

Stevia is a sweetener commonly used on low carb diet, it’s a natural sweetener extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It has no or little carbs or calories. You can get it in powdered and liquid for and naturally sweeter that the regular sugar.

4. Xylitol

Xylitol is also a type of sugar alcohol mostly extracted from stuffs like candies, sugar-free gum, and mints. It has equal amount of sweetness as regular sugar. It contains about 4 grams of carbs per teaspoon (3 calories per gram). xylitol does not raise insulin or blood level the way regular sugar does. It can be used for all kinds of cooking and baking, it can be used in moderation on your smoothies, tea, shakes or coffee but need a few liquid because it tend to absorb moisture and increase dryness. It can be exchanged for ration 1:1.

What to note about xylitol is that high dose of it can digestive problems so you have to watch what amount you consume if you notice any adverse effects.

5. Sucralose

Sucralose is also a sweetener commonly used on low carb dietis, unlike the stevia, its an artificial sweetener. Consuming this type of sweetener does not add carbs or calories to your body because it is not metabolized.

The most common of sucralose-based sweetener is the Splenda. Splenda is quite popular in the market and does not contain that bitter taste found in most artificial sweeteners.

Each packet of Splenda contain about 3 calories and 1 gram of carbs, it is calorie-free but contain dextrose and maltodextrin.

Most baking recipes do not call for sucralose because it’s not suitable for baking as it can be harmful when exposed to high temperatures, but best used to sweeten foods like yogurt, oatmeal, low carb drinks. Sucralose is naturally sweeter that the regular sugar and require a little amount in place of sugar.
