No bake peanut butter Choco chips cookies

I made this recipe 60 weeks ago haha it's been in the comments in my Instagram but I can't find it, so I asked one of my ig friends who loves making this for her kids if I can have the recipe, she screen shot it and send it to me. Its really been in the comments all along, I guess I didn't look hard enough 😁 the recipe from my ig  have cocoa powder (1 tbsp) but since I don't have it at the moment I omit it and it's still works great.



Ingredients

1 cup of almond flour
 ( I used honeyville )
1/4 cup of vanilla whey protein powder
1 full tbsp of peanut butter
2 tbsp of water
1 tbsp of sweetener ( optional, use only if your whey powder don't have any sweetener at all)
Chocolate chunks or chips


Method:
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Combine the water and peanut butter in a cup and heat it ( it's easier to mix it with the other ingredients when the pb is melted)
Mix till it looks like a cookie dough
Place in a parchment or cling wrap and roll into a log
Divide and cut into 10 
Flatten
You can put the chocolate chips now , like planting a seeds
Then nuke when you want to eat one for about 30 seconds ( 700 watts)
Or you can freeze and eat it as is ( texture will be fudgy)
Enjoy

Cereal

This cereal taste amazing! There is two recipe combined to make this cereal, one is from byebyegluten.blogspot.com, I used her coconut chia cracker recipe and modified to become coconut chia cinnamon squares ( I just basically omit all her savory spices and used cinnamon and sweeteners) and the other recipe came from Martha Stewart granola recipe. 

Recipe: for the coconut chia cinnamon squares

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup of hot water
1/4 tsp of salt
3 tbsp of cinnamon powder
4 tbsp of sweetener of choice ( I used LC sweets "brown sugar" that I bought from netrition.com, it helps with the "cinnamon sugar" taste)
 
Method: 
Preheat oven to 375F
Mix all the dry ingredients
Then add the oils and water
Mix together till it looks like a dough
Divide the dough into two
Using a parchment paper, sandwich one of the dough and flatten it with rolling pin 
But if you have a silicone mat you can also use that
Using a pizza cutter, make a mark on the dough ( horizontal and diagonal) so when it's done baking its will be easier to break into small squares.
Bake at 375F  on the 3rd rack for about 15-20 minutes checking on it half way, rotate it just to make sure it will not burn.
Let it cool down and then using the line that you made with the pizza cutter, break it into small pieces.
It will taste "blah" at this point but set it aside, it's not done and lets continue with the other part of this cereal. 

"Granola" recipe
Raw sunflower seeds (16oz)
Walnuts ( 1 1/2 cups chopped into small pieces) you can actually used any nuts or seeds that you like, I just have walnuts and sunflower seeds that need to be use
3 tbsp of melted butter
1 tbsp of vanilla ( it's best to mix the vanilla in the melted butter)
4 tbsp of cinnamon powder
4 tbsp of LC "brown sugar" 
1/4 tsp of salt

Preheat oven to 350F
You need two baking pans
I suggest use a shallow lasagna pans so when the butter melted it will not drip to the edges ( don't use a cookie baking pans!)
On one of the pans transfer the coconut chia squares add an additional 2 tbsp of melted butter, 2 tbsp of cinnamon powder, 2 tbsp of LC sweet brown sugar and mix together
On the other pans, add all the nuts and seeds and the rest of the ingredients and baked both pans at 350F. 
cooking time will be different that's why you need to separate and use two pans
For the coconut chia cinnamon squares ( bake it for another 15 minutes, mixing once in a while just to make sure that everything will be coated with cinnamon and sweetener)
For the seeds and nuts ( bake it for 25 minutes or till cooked also mixing it to make sure that every seeds and nuts have cinnamon and sweeteners) 
Cool down and store and seal in different containers and store in the fridge (the coconut cinnamon square will have a shorter fridge life than the nuts, I say about two weeks) 
Mix them together in a bowl and use almond milk and add some berries if you like. 


After the first baking process

Blueberry gelatin jelly

Recipe:
1 cup of water
1 cup of frozen blueberries ( or any berries of choice)
2 tsp of gelatin ( I used greatlakes unflavored gelatin)
2 tbsp of sweetener of choice


Method:
In a sauce pan boil the water and the blueberries 
Take it out and put in a jar or deep bowl
I used a hand held blender to purée it
If you don't have hand held blender, you can use a regular blender or food processor ( just make sure to process it really good)
Put it back in the saucepan in medium heat and add the sweetener of choice and gelatin
Using wire whisk, mix till the gelatin dissolves.
Transfer in a jar or deep bowl
Cover and let it set in the fridge
When it sets, use a fork to mix it to get the "jelly" "jam" texture
After mixing it using a fork I then transfer it to a jar where I'm going to keep it 
Very yummy!! 
Of course it has gelatin so I suggest always keep it in the fridge, and spread it on top of another spread before putting it on a bread so it won't melt. In my case I spread my peanut butter first then on top of peanut butter I then put the gelatin jelly and not directly to a hot bread.

Stuff oopsies

I used a classic opsie roll recipe from the internet and add psyllium husk to give it more body and texture

Recipe: 
6oz full fat creme cheese
6 eggs
1/2 tsp of cream of tartar
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tsp of ground psyllium husk 
1 tbsp of sweetener of choice

I used my marinated pork as my stuffing, I fried some and then chopped into pieces 
You can also use this for sweet application just add about 2 more tbsp of sweetener




Method: 
Preheat oven to 300F
Separate the yolks and the whites
Add the cream of tartar to the whites and using electric mixer, beat it till stiff peak
( you have to make sure that the bowl is completely dry and there's no oil or contaminants to the electric mixer for a successful and fluffy egg whites)
After the egg whites, beat the yolk and mix the remaining ingredients
Then fold the yolk mixture to the egg whites, being careful not to tap too much so you won't lessen the airiness of the egg whites
I suggest you use a silicone muffin mold but you can use any muffin tin just line it or grease it really good for easy removal of the finish muffin
Fill halfway then add whatever filling you want ( as I'm typing this I also have some ham and cheese and chocolate and peanut butter in the oven)
Then cover with more mixture 
Baked for 25-28 minutes in the third rack of the oven to prevent from over cooking
I also suggest to put it in a container with cover, after it cool down and eat it the next day, I find that by doing that the texture is so much different




Marinated pork

Recipe: 
3 lbs thinly slice pork butt ( I like to slightly freeze my pork first, so it's easy to slice thinly, then let it thaw completely before mixing with the other ingredients)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari or liquid aminos
1/4 cup calamansi juice or lemon juice
2 tsp of black ground pepper
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of salt
2 tsp of onion powder
4 tbsp of tomato paste
1 tbsp of fresh minced garlic
2 tbsp of sweetener of choice ( erythritol, honey, truvia etc..)

In a big container mix all the ingredients together and let it sit overnight in the fridge. 
Then mix it again and portions into zip locks or container 
Tip: for cooking this just thaw it a little, then on a small wok or pan put the marinated pork, add a little water then cover
The water will dry, and the pork will be cook in it's own fats.

Recipe:
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1/4 cup of soy sauce 
1/4 heavy creme
1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
1/4 tsp of salt
2 large fresh cloves of garlic ( minced)
1 small bay leaf 
1/4 cup of water

2 thick pork chop
Some oil or lard ( I used bacon fat) for searing the pork

Season the pork chop with salt and pepper
When the pan is hot enough seared the meat on both sides till it have a nice color then transfer to a baking pan.

Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes in  the middle rack
After it's done baking, while the pork chop is resting, I pour all the sauce in a small sauce pan and put it in the stove in a medium heat till it reduce and thicken a bit.
Use the adobo sauce like a gravy and serve it on top of the pork chop.





Blueberry cheesecake

The texture is a bit softer than the pb cheesecake but it's still good being a lowcarb cheesecake. Although I prefer the texture of the cheesecake that I made with peanut butter in it.

1 8oz full fat creme cheese ( room temp)
1 egg
1/4 cup and 2 tbsp of granulated sweetener of choice
1 tsp of vanilla
1/4 tsp of salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 350F
In a deep bowl put the creme cheese, egg, sweetener and vanilla
Using electric mixer mix it till it's well combine
I put mine in a small silicone round baking pan, but you can use any small pan or cupcake cups
If you are going to use a non silicone mold I suggest line it with parchment paper so you can easily take it out or use one of those mold that is really intended for cheesecake
Then just top it with the chopped blueberries 
Put in another deeper and bigger baking pan
Add water around it, till almost 1/3 of your cheesecake pan
Baked for 30 minutes in a preheated 350F then turn off the oven and let it stay there for 10-15 minutes ( oven door close)

Slowly add the dry ingredients
Using a whisk, whisk it like crazy so it will create some airiness to your pancake

Pre heat a pan that's been grease
Cook it in a low-medium heat
I use a pancake pan it helps with the volume but any pan will do
About 2 minutes on each side but just check it we don't want to overcook this pancake especially that is has protein powder.

Broccoli tuna fritters

400g of lightly steam broccoli and then put it in the food processor till it's fine but you still know it's broccoli 
150g of shedded mozzarella but you can use any hard cheese that you have like cheddar or Parmesan just use a grater to shred it finely 
3 eggs ( beaten)
2 (4oz) can of tuna (drain)
1/2 cup of almond flour ( I used honeyville brand) 
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder

Method:
Preheat oven to 425F
Steam your broccoli or you can buy those ready steam broccoli for the microwave but don't boil it in water, we don't want to add moisture to this or else your patty will not hold and it will be too watery. Cool it down.
 put the broccoli and cheese in the food processor till it's well combine.
Transfer in a big bowl
Add the egg, tuna and the rest of the ingredients and mix really well. 
I took an ice cream scooper to get even patties
Divide into about 17 pieces and make a ball and gently shape it into patties. As you can see in the picture I used a silicone mat to bake it so it will not stick but a parchment paper will still probably work too or just make sure you grease your pan really well. 
Bake at 425f for 15 minutes in the lowest rack of the oven then flip it and cook for another 10-15 minutes.if it's still sticking it's not ready add about 5 more minutes. 
 
The bottom part look so beautiful then just flip it and cook the top side for another 10-15 minutes. 


Even patties because of the ice cream scooper

Fried coconut buns

It's basically the same recipe for my microwave coconut bun, but since I know some of you don't cook with microwave i cook it in the stove in a pan. And it turns out well except it has a little sliminess of the psyllium compare to the microwave ones. Also if you are going to bake this it will take a lot of time to totally cook the psyllium, about 50-60 minutes in a 350f preheated oven. 

Recipe: 1 tbsp of coconut flour
1 tbsp of psyllium husk ( home ground) 
If you are gonna use the store bought psyllium powder use less about 3/4 tbsp
1 whole egg
1/4 tsp of Italian dried herbs
1/4 tsp of baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 and 1/2 tbsp of water 

For frying: 1 tbsp of unsalted butter

Method: 
Heat your pan in medium heat 
If you have a pan that is nonstick and have a cover I suggest you use that
just mix everything together really well in a bowl
When it looks like a dough, divide it into 2-3 portion.
Form it into a ball and put it the heated pan
Flatten it using spatula
Fry it without oil, 5 minutes in each side with a cover
Now add the butter, lower your heat and cook for additional 5 minutes in each side with a cover. Now the texture is way different than the microwave version, this one still got a little sliminess fromthe psyllium   where the microwave have none at all.

Ketoninja wrap

This recipe originated from my cinnamon roll that I posted last year. Check that one too. Update: Someone pointed out that it's the same as  emmerich wrap so I check it out and it's freaking so identical, except for how she process it, also mine have a less cooking time like 28 minutes difference from my two minutes and the cooking method is so different too, hers is oven and mine is just stove pan. Maybe because this recipe came from the cinnamon roll that's been inspired by emmerich as I stated from my post last year. I been promoting her site in my ig even her books so I will never copy her recipes because I respect her. This is just those weird coincidence but at least the process and the cooking method is so different. My credibility is important to me because that's all I have and unlike other bloggers I don't get anything but just a satisfying feeling  to help my fellow lowcarbers. Im gonna email Emerrich about this but I'm standing in my ground that this is my recipe that's originated from my cinnamon roll that I posted last year 👊  

Recipe:
1/2 cup of coconut flour
3 tbsp of ground psyllium husk
1/4 cup of room temp butter or coconut oil
1/4 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1 cup of warm water plus 2 tbsp of warm water

Method:

Before you start ready a standard circular plate and a pan that can accommodate the wrap ( it needs to lay flat on the pan) so I suggest look for a plate that will fit in your pan nicely. 
In a deep bowl mix the coconut flour, psyllium, salt, garlic powder. 
Then add the butter and using your hands mix it and press like what you do in a dough
Add the warm water and keep on mixing
When it finally looks like a dough, shape it into a log and divide into four equal portion
Get one of the dough and place it in a silicone mat, then cover it with another mat and start rolling using a rolling pin
( I think a cling wrap will also do this job)
Start rolling to the desire size, I made mine about 8 inches.
Also this dough is very flexible to work with so if you want to add more dough to create your circle just take out from the outer edges put in where you need it and start rolling. Same process as when it rips just get some from the outer edges and just put it where you need it, put the mat back on top and continue rolling from the outside.
I suggest make it thin but not to the point of it getting rip when you are gonna take it out, if it's too thick it will turn into a crunchy crust like thin crust pizza which is not bad either, but we want a wrap
Get a regular circle plate and just trace it out using a blunt butter knife. 
Heat the pan into a medium heat I put mine to 5, the highest setting in my stove is 8 just to give you guys an idea
Gently lift the wrap from the mat and transfer it to the pan
Cook for about 1 minute in each side so it will stay pliable and flexible 
If you overcook it will not be flexible like a regular wrap but you can still use it with so many application 
(I'm thinking thin crust, tortilla chips because it does becomes so crunchy)
Repeat the process in all of the dough. The remnants of the dough you can make into a soft taco shell, same process but get a smaller plates.
