Keto baking tips:
- Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like almond flour instead of wheat flour and stevia instead of cane sugar.
- Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes its hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
- Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
- Find recipes that you love, like these Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies, Dark Chocolate Almond Bars or Keto Turtle Cookies and use them in your must bake list.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.

These pumpkin tarts make a great addition to your keto Christmas menu. I love making these low carb tarts for the whole family.
Other sugar alternatives:
- Stevia is made from the Stevia leaf, I like to use both the granulated and powdered version of this in my recipes.
- Monk Fruit sweetener is made from Monk fruit, this is another sugar substitute that is low on the glycemic index.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and another popular low carb sweetener that can be used in baking.

These peppermint dipped cookies are my favorite keto Christmas cookies – perfect for the festive season!
A note on flour alternatives:
- Almond flour is my personal favorite for consistency and flavour. I like to purchase the Kirkland brand almond flour from Costco.
- Coconut flour can sometimes be crumbly in my experience but good in combination with almond flour. I like the Red Mill brand.
- Rice flour is my least favorite in terms of consistency but a great alternative for those who may have allergies.

One of the best recipes that I’ve had is this keto moscow mule cocktail. It’s the perfect night cap and makes a lovely way to finish off any special occasion.
Keto alcohol tips:
- Dry wines are the best choice as they have very little sugar content
- Most red wine is a safe bet while following keto
- White wine should be consumed cautiously as many sweet white wines are high in carbs
- Having a glass of wine or a few light beers is not off of the menu when following a low-carb diet
- Diet soda and artificial sweeteners can easily be substituted for your old mixes
