Amazing Low Carb/High Protein Soft Pretzel Recipe! @KetoUpgrade

Keto Upgrade #nutfree #noalmondflour #glutenfree
After figuring out soft and chewy sweet dinner rolls and pizza crust, I wanted to see if I could take this dough to the next step of boiling. And surprisingly it worked to make a delicious soft pretzel with quite a few tweaks to make it not too big and fluffy. The recipe ended up being pretty basic with pretty much the same ingredients as a regular soft pretzel recipe. The only difference is our "flour" is a combination of several ingredients to replace the stretch and gluten we lack in our flours.

The Protein Bread Debacle! Why MY Bread is Out of Stock?!

Keto Upgrade 2025-09-10 | This bread recipe has been a help to so many people, and I was so happy to be providing people with a product they loved. I'm really at a loss and don't know where to go from here, the waste of ingredients (money in the trash) for my very small business is detrimental to my growth. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and I've contemplated giving up many times over the last 2 years. It would be so much easier to just go get a sous chef job somewhere but I had a vision and I don't like giving up.

Creamy Keto Butter Pecan Ice Cream Recipe!

Keto Upgrade 2025-08-09 | Been meaning to figure out a keto Butter Pecan Ice Cream recipe for awhile. It was one of the first flavored keto ice cream recipes I tried when I first started keto, the dreaded mason jar ice cream! I was so disappointed it spurred me on to find a better keto/low carb ice cream recipe. Keto Vanilla Ice Cream was the first video I ever shot in 2020, it has since been updated and reshot- youtu.be/YJGW4pS3M7M

Fluffy Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones Plus Bonus Tips & Tricks!

Keto Upgrade 2025-08-02 | I have created many different flavors of keto/low carb scones. But I have changed the recipe a bit as our keto ingredients can be frustrating and change over time. Plus I now have a keto/low carb and gluten free bakery so I have increased the recipe in order to cut the wet ingredients down so I don't have as much waste of the liquid ingredients.

Pesto-

2 Cups Fresh Basil
1/4 Cup Pine Nuts (More to taste, any nut you prefer)
1/4 Cup Parmesan (To taste, can use Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano)
Several Cloves of Roasted Garlic or 1 Clove Raw Garlic (to taste)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil and/or Avocado Oil Enough to make it as saucy as you like
Salt and Pepper to taste
Can also add baby spinach to stretch the pesto

Macros: The only thing with substantial carbs is if you use a lot of roasted garlic, these are macros with 1 clove fresh garlic and no spinach- makes about 1 Cup enough for four portions of a pesto pasta with chicken and veg

Delicious & Easy Keto Fudgy Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe?

Keto Upgrade 2025-06-07 | I love brownies and I love chocolate and peanut butter even more so I had to figure out a delicious brownie that combined chocolate and peanut butter. With owning a bakery and shipping these brownies, I had to incorporate the peanut butter into the brownie instead of making a peanut butter frosting or topping. But I do have a peanut butter mousse I have topped my brownies with and you can also make a peanut butter buttercream frosting.

Delicious Low Carb Streusel Muffin Recipe! Rhubarb Addition, Super Versatile!

Keto Upgrade 2025-05-31 | #nutfree #glutenfree #protein
It's rhubarb season! I wanted to make some delicious breakfast treats with my fresh rhubarb I get form my best friend, so I started experimenting. These muffins are soft, fluffy, tart and a little sweet with a sweet crunchy streusel topping. This base muffin recipe was figured out awhile ago, and it took me altering the dry ingredients a bit so that our add ins wouldn't all sink to the bottom of the muffin. Once I figured that out, altering it to add different add-ins is pretty easy. I just had to make a few tweaks with adding rhubarb which is very tart compared to something like blueberries.

Keto Pasta Battle!!! Easy & Delicious Summer Side Dish Recipe!

Keto Upgrade 2025-05-17 | I wanted to know if you could make a delicious low carb macaroni salad with some Gluten Free lupin flour keto pasta alternatives. I tried two side by side and they were both a good option for the macaroni salad but one was a tiny bit better in a cold application. Before these options were available I had used tiny pieces of steamed cauliflower to make low carb macaroni salad which is a good option if you don't want to buy the more expensive low carb options.

Easy Low Carb Cheese Sauce Tutorial & Keto Pasta Review!

Keto Upgrade 2025-04-26 | This "recipe" has been something I would make super fast in small amounts even before keto. It may not reheat the best because there is no flour in it but it's simple and easy to throw together for a little dip for some keto soft pretzels (youtu.be/kgjC09Dj7G8 ) or a yummy keto mac & cheese with your favorite low carb pasta. For this video I tried Kaizen low carb pasta to see if it is worth the price!

If you are interested in trying Thrive Market, here is my member referral Link for 40% off your first order (Thrive is not a Sponsor) http://thrv.me/DgY8iu but I get money off shipments if you become a member by clicking my link. The Kaizen pasta is cheaper on Thrive (even not on sale) than Amazon and many other items are also, I always price compare though for things I buy regularly.

Easy Cheese Sauce Recipe (enough for about 2 Cups of cheese sauce)

2 Tbs. Butter
Diced raw onion or peppers (optional)
3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
12-16oz./3-4 Cups Shredded or chopped cheese (more if adding liquid to the cheese sauce, like salsa or wet macaroni)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Add 2 Cups sauce to 8oz. of cooked pasta, place in a baking dish, top with some more cheese and bake at 450 for 10 minutes (can broil for extra crispy top)

Can make mac and cheese ahead and refrigerate then bake covered at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, then uncover and bake until bubbly and browning on top

Macros will all depend on what cheeses and how much you use. If you use pre-shredded cheese the carbs will be higher!

Can I make a SIMPLE & DELICIOUS KETO Reeses Eggs??

Keto Upgrade 2025-04-12 | One of my favorite candies of all time and I definitely miss it when these holidays come around and you can't escape them and all the other Easter candy all over social media and in grocery stores. My motto is to always be prepared so you aren't tempted by everything around you. So this was an experiment that turned out delicious and very simple and will definitely keep me from grabbing a sugar filled Reese's Egg.

An Easy Keto/Low Carb Lasagna Noodle?

Keto Upgrade 2025-03-22 | As an Italian, lasagna is something I've loved forever and even though it is a little more work, it's nice to have a piece of low carb lasagna once in awhile. What I like about cooking is you can make a dish as complicated or simple as you want. For this particular low carb lasagna I made a little more complex lamb bolognese sauce but you can just as easily brown up some beef and add a jar of your favorite low carb pasta sauce.

Creating Low Carb St. Pattys Day Irish Cream Cupcakes!

Keto Upgrade 2025-03-15 | This recipe is a combination of 3 of my recipes, flavored in a Baily's Irish Cream way. Baily's Irish Cream is a liquor that is comprised of Cream, Whiskey, Cocoa, and Vanilla. If I made this for myself I would use a vanilla or Irish cream buttercream to make it lower carb.
Buttercream Tutorial- youtu.be/xQQasWnk_sM
I made this cake for my sister-in-law and she gets the cooling effect from erythritol very strongly so I used a whipped ganache frosting, which made these cupcakes even a little high in carbs.

So I decided to remake the recipe with the new shortbread and see if it worked, it did and was even more delicious!!

Keto/Gluten Free Starbucks Lemon Loaf Knockoff Recipe!

Keto Upgrade 2025-03-01 | #nutfree #almondfree
Been wanting to figure out a lemon breakfast loaf and lemon pound cake for awhile. After looking up recipes and ingredients for a Starbucks lemon loaf and lemon pound cake they are pretty similar. The difference between a breakfast loaf and pound cake is that a pound cake has more butter, eggs and sugar in ratio to the flour. For keto baked goods we already add extra eggs and butter to combat the dryness of our baked goods. The sugar in a pound cake is astronomical compared to the amount of sweetener I add to our baked goods. I don't add the same amount of sweetener as sugar that most recipes call for. So this is basically a pound cake recipe as well as a knockoff for Starbuck lemon loaf recipe.

Beginners Guide to Kitchen Equipment!! Tips from a BAKERY OWNER!

Keto Upgrade 2025-02-18 | What do you really need to making baking easier??? Well, I try to keep things minimal. I really don't like being cramped in my kitchen. So when I moved into a larger space I still took a lot of consideration into what to buy and not buy. I could have easily splurged on things that were fun or made things easier but I didn't want to clutter things too much and if I had to bring everything home, I didn't want too much stuff, which is exactly what happened! So I'm glad I didn't go too crazy with extras!

The liquid you choose is up to you. For my wedding I did a red wine braised short rib. For this recipe I used root beer zevia, you can use any diet root beer for a low carb braise short rib or a dry red wine. The other part of the braising liquid is a good beef bone broth or a concentrated beef base. Unfortunately most beef bases or packaged demi-glace do not have clean ingredients. But if you are doing low carb and not keto I would use a packet of demi-glace. Then instead of reconstituting with water, use the flavor component you want to add to the base. If you do use beef stock I would reduce the stock by half to concentrate the flavor or add a beef stock cube to the broth.

The rest is whatever aromatics you want to add. Whatever you add to the braising liquid will be strained out later. So you can add the scraps from onions, carrots, celery even just the peels are fine. Then any seasoning/spices, fresh or dried you would like. I added whole peppercorns, and dried thyme but you can add fresh bundles of thyme or rosemary, fresh garlic, and the skins of carrots and onion because that is what I had on hand.

Low Carb/Keto Short Ribs

2 Tbs. Avocado Oil
2-4lb. of Fresh Short Ribs (on the bone is best)
32oz. Beef Bone Broth or 16oz. Demi-glace
1 Tbs. Beef Base or 1 Beef Stock Cube (optional, if not using demi-glace)
1 Tbs. Tomato paste for added richness (optional)
32oz. No sugar added Root Beer or Dry Red Wine
Aromatics: Scraps of onions, celery, carrots and/or peppers, Whole peppercorns, garlic cloves, Fresh or dried rosemary and/or thyme

Ingredients to flavor and thicken the sauce later:
Salt
Pepper
Granulated Garlic
Granulated Onion
Worchester Sauce
Arrowroot/cornstarch with water or xanthan gum

Delicious KETO Reeses Cup Cheesecake Recipe- Keto Upgraded!

Keto Upgrade 2025-01-18 | #ketorecipes #happybirthday
It's my Birthday and my favorite dessert is anything chocolate and peanut butter. And if I ever ate cheesecake it was always from Cheesecake Factory so I added as many elements as I could to make a low carb Cheesecake Factory type cheesecake. Because Peanut butter and chocolate have carbs that add up quickly I had to do a much simpler cheesecake, but still delicious.
