KETO PUMPKIN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE – make them in 25 Minutes!

KETO PUMPKIN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE from Craig at Ruled Me

What I love most about these low-carb pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies is the sweet pumpkin pie spice mixture that you make to sprinkle over the top of the baked cookies.

Put 2 tsp of erythritol and 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice in a spice grinder and process. This makes a shimmering, sugar-free mixture that really takes these cookies to the next level.

They also look fancy so are ideal to take to holiday parties and impress your friends and family!

★ Pro cooks tip: Do not store cookies in the fridge. Store in an airtight container as this helps the moisture redistribute throughout the cookie. The flavor actually improves when kept at room temperature!

PUMPKIN PIE BITES – prep it in 20 Minutes!

 

PUMPKIN PIE BITES from Vicky at Tasteaholics

This roundup would not be complete without a pumpkin spice recipe for fat bombs. This easy, ketogenic recipe uses coconut butter as the star ingredient.

If you haven’t used coconut butter yet, get ready to become a true fan. It is pureed coconut meat (also known as coconut manna) and for those of you (like me) that do not like the taste of coconut oil, coconut butter tastes nothing like it!

★ Pro cooks tip: Place Pumpkin Pie Bites in the freezer to firm up more quickly (20-25 minutes) and store them in the refrigerator (or freezer). If you don’t have pecans, try flaked almonds or just chop up any low-carb nuts such as macadamia nuts, almonds or walnuts and sprinkle over the top.

IS PUMPKIN A LOW-CARB FOOD?

Yes, pumpkin is reasonably low in carbohydrates and can be eaten in moderation on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. Half a cup of mashed pumpkin contains 6g of net carbs. A good way to incorporate pumpkin into a low-carb diet is through desserts such as mug cakes or brownies as these recipes use smaller amounts of pumpkin and when combined with other ingredients, ensure that only small amounts are consumed.

WHAT CAN I SUBSTITUTE FOR PUMPKIN SPICE?

Make your own Pumpkin Pie spice by mixing these ingredients in a bowl:

• 4 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon cloves

If you don’t have all the individual spices, use cinnamon on its own.

WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CANNED PUMPKIN PUREE?

Canned pumpkin puree is not commonly found in many countries outside the U.S. such as Australia. If you cannot easily buy canned pumpkin puree, then making your own is easy. Bake a halved pumpkin (seeds removed) in the oven, covered in foil for an hour at 320°F (160°c). When the flesh is tender, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and puree in a blender or food processor. The puree can be kept in the fridge for 3-5 days or frozen in small portions for baking.
