INGREDIENTS NOTES:
EGGS:
- Big eggs give it protein, hydration, & structure and they are vital for richness & binding in low-carb recipes. We have to use eggs that are at room temperature to improve mixing.
THICK CREAM:
- Thick Cream enhances the dish’s richness and fullness by adding fat and creaminess and is perfect for keto diets. We can also use coconut milk instead of thick cream to make the dairy-free egg bake.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- The vanilla extract improves flavor and sweetness in general. We have to use pure extract to gives spicy and sweet components more depth.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol is keto-friendly and low in carbs which will not ruin the keto diet and provides sweetness similar to that of sugar; however, it could leave a cold aftertaste. For balance, it can be blended with monk fruit.
CINNAMON:
- Cinnamon aids in flavor balance and adds warm, sweet spice. Provides antioxidants as well and could aid in blood sugar regulation.
FRESH BLUEBERRIES:
- Fresh blueberries add nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as natural sweetness and color. If using frozen, pat dry or use fresh.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- This flour has a low carb and it is gluten-free as well. We have to add a minimal amount of coconut flavor as it is very absorbent.
SALT:
- Salt balances sweetness and brings out all the tastes. We can also use pink salt or sea salt for more minerals and a better flavor.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides richness & keeps food from sticking when cooking. We can also use coconut oil as it works well for a dairy-free and paleo alternative.
