When making recipes and baking, use recipes that are low carb, low sugar recipes that call for stevia and erythritol. Stevia and erythritol are all natural and all processed, but I choose stevia or erythritol as they do not raise blood sugars. Don’t be fooled by the so-called healthy alternatives to refined sugar such as honey, agave, medjool dates, are too high in sugar regardless that they are unprocessed. Your body will still raise its insulin to respond to the natural sugars. However, you may decide that using unprocessed honey or dates is a better alternative for you, especially if you can tolerate more carbohydrates. Just don’t think that by choosing honey, is any better for you from a carbohydrate point of view. It is really down to you, as long as you are aware natural sugars count too.
Don’t be fooled by so many recipes claiming they are refined sugar free, look closer and they are generally packed with coconut sugar (sugar), dates (sugar), honey (sugar), agave (fructose which is worse than sugar), maple syrup (sugar) or rice malt syrup (yup, glucose).
Look for recipes that call for almond or coconut flour instead of wheat floors.
Almond milk, heavy cream, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, peanut or almond butter, psyllium husk powder, whey protein powder ( check for added sugars), Xanthum gum ( which is a thickener) are all acceptable ingredients you should expect to find in Keto baking recipes.
