Tell me if this sounds familiar…
You find yourself REALLY wanting a sweet snack but knowing that you REALLY don’t need all the sugar?
That’s like my whole life right now! Managing my tendency toward gestational diabetes means that I really can’t deal with sugar or carbs so I’ve been experimenting!
Cut tortillas into 6 triangles each and dip each side into stevia/Cinnamon blend.
Bake at 350 degrees on baking tray covered in parchment paper for 10 minutes.
Beat together cream cheese, stevia, and cinnamon until smooth.
Fold in pecans.
Note: The stevia blend I use is a cup for cup substitute for sugar (this one is a good choice if you want to try it!). You can use any sweetener you like, just sweeten to taste.
This keto chocolate muffin in a mug recipe is perfect for curbing your chocolate cravings without the carbs. It’s a great keto friendly dessert or snack! When I was pregnant, I had gestational diabetes. I found that eating low carb was the easiest way for me to control my blood sugar from spiking. But I had intense pregnancy cravings! This was the recipe that I made almost daily to give me extra protein and curb my cravings the low carb way.
