What is the WORST keto recipe you have tried?

(Heather Meyer) #28

I actually just tried a PB cookie recipe… its one of those 3 ingrident PB cookies… blech! The texture and taste were soooo off. Never again!

#29

@PortHardy you got my attention, cuz these are one of our favorites!! I’m wondering if you used confectioner sweetener instead of granular. Because once I made them with confectioner and they were HORRIBLE… like, little slimy, mushy blobs. But with granuar, they’re pefect!!! (PB, egg, granual swerve… 350 for 12 min … let cool completely).

I was on low fat for so many years that I rarely (back then) had bread (you need to put butter on it to make it taste good, and butter has FAT). I never had fast food (fries, cheeseburgers, etc.). So I never wanted to make fake keto bread. My downfalls were, in this order: beer, pizza, ice cream.

I’ve had no keto failures I can remember, as I usually don’t try to recreate non-keto foods. And I went through a fat bomb phase, where I’m sure we had some failures, but that was a pretty quick phase, once I realized fat was not filling to me but protein was.

I did granular Allulose actually…cant use Swerve due to intolerence. But either way…they came out bad. The first batch i burned. The second batch tasted almost rancid even though it was a brand new jar of PB

Mug cake. All I could taste was baking powder. And while I like eggs, something about the egginess and egg smell turned me off. I had to throw it out.

I tried the cauliflower grilled cheese, too.

Shared my experience here:

cup of squash

(Heather Meyer) #36

#37

Love this thread! LOL It helps to remind me why I don’t try to bake a keto version of former desserts. I think I’ll be like @Bellyman and if I really want it, I’ll have it. Just try to limit to very rare occasions.

I do like the Sola bread, but that’s a commercial product and not homemade. Even that, I don’t eat every day…maybe have a slice every other or every third day on average.

I was going to say none. But some of the posts on here reminded me that keto fish patties, croquettes, etc., that I’ve tried to make didn’t turn out very well. Costco salmon patties (at 2 carbs per) are way better.

And keto PB cookies–no.

Oh, yes! I tried to make those. They looked great, but tasted disgusting - like eating a cake of sawdust which a peanut had just wandered past and waved at. The whole batch went in the bin.

I tried a crack slaw recipe once in the first couple weeks of keto that I will never make again. It was my first 4000+ calorie day. That stuff was dangerous. I won’t even let cabbage in the house now… :smile:

I have a delicious coconut pancake recipe. Coconut flour can vary quite a bit in texture and carb amounts. When you make coconut flour pancakes you need to make the batter and let it rest 20 minutes or so to give the coconut flour time to swell and rehydrate.

I like all her recipes that I’ve tried. Best chocolate cake of her’s is awesome!:yum:

Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese filling. The batter and the filling tasted fantastic… but after I baked it all everything ended bland and it tasted like crap and the filling got chunky. I was so disappointed.

I use this one:

They’re nice and fluffy with the sparkling water as an ingredient. But I bake the batter as rounds:

Those look great Zed, I usually thin my batter and end up with a crepe like cake.
