Tell me the WORST keto recipe you have tried and why?

The ONLY rule is: Out of kindness do not give the recipe creator’s name and do not link it to a food blog. Be kind :slight_smile:

Annnnd go!!!

I will start…

Coconut flour pancakes… it was like sand in my mouth. So gritty! and way to dry!

(Kristen Ann) #3

Keto sweets that use too much sweetener. I can’t handle really sweet things anymore. It’s like s shock to my mouth!

Keto pumpkin spice pancakes was the absolute worst. So. So. Bad.

There was also a pork rind cookie and a smoothie recipe that tied for second worst.

Keto friendly copycat of Olive Garden zuppa toscana. That’s what made me realize I hate cauliflower :nauseated_face:

Ew yah i could see the pumpkin pancakes being nasty.

(Heather Meyer) #7

Cauliflower grilled cheese sandwich. Why would anyone even think of making it? Ugh

(Heather Meyer) #9

i admit to trying it and failed epicly.

I tried a “keto” cheesecake that tasted like sour milk. My friend paid like twenty bucks for it. :confounded:

#11

A linseed loaf by a well respected keto youtuber. Followed it to the letter. Ended up burning on the outside and was raw in the middle, and smelt like fish. A lot of commenters had a similar result.

I subbed roasted radishes for the cauliflower and I thought it was very good!

The bread recipe from the Magic Pill movie. Blech.

Sounds like you didn’t have enough eggs and liquid in it. Coconut flour is very absorbent. For example, if I wanted to replace one cup of almond flour in a recipe, I’d use:

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup liquid

I no longer use almond flour. I really like using coconut flour, because I need so little of it in a recipe.

I’ll have to try that out! Thanks :blush:

I’m sorry, but ‘pork rind’ and ‘cookie’ do NOT belong in the same sentence. Or recipe. (shudder) :nauseated_face:

(less is more, more or less) #17

Oh my. I’ve unleashed so many disasters from my kitchen.

I’m unclear of the attribution, but I use the saying; “It takes a thousand mistakes to make a masterpiece” my mantra as the successes are delicious.

:joy: at Christmas, I made a few non-keto desserts for my family and tried to make a keto version of each to go along with it. This was meant to be the keto version of corn flake candy. :face_vomiting: didn’t work out! Lol

#19

keto mozzarella sticks. Well… it was my fault… lol… I didn’t have mozzarella cheese sticks, so I used cheddar cheese sticks (not the same consistency hahaha). They just melted in the oven in a pile of almond flour-concoction. We tried to eat them anyway, in a bowl with a fork. Didn’t even taste good to make it worth the appearance fail. :smiley:

The worst I can think of is a recent batch of peanut butter cookies. Wasted a butt load of perfectly good peanut butter on those things, too. Tasted like cardboard. I had no idea peanut butter could be so bad, I normally love all things peanut butter.

I rarely throw food away but if the rest of the family hadn’t eaten them, I really would have tossed 'em. They really were that bad.
