Traditional Finnish Christmas Pastries made Keto – with only 5 Ingredients!

December 5, 2021 By elviira 5 Comments

Traditional Finnish Christmas Pastries made Keto | Low-Carb, So Simple
Welcome, December and the holiday season! Want to try out something extraordinary but still traditional during these holidays? Then, why not whip up a batch of fascinating star-shaped Finnish Christmas pastries (joulutorttus) — naturally ketoized and gluten-free!

Fathead dough works wonders in these keto pastries, making them super low in carbs and very close to the traditional treats. When the regular wheaty and sugary pastries contain 15.4 grams net carbs per piece, my ketoized versions contain just 1.2-1.8 grams net carbs per pastry — or even less if you use zero-carb filling.

The traditional Finnish Christmas pastries use prune marmalade as filling. You guessed it: I’ve ketoized the marmalade as well, and you’ll get it as a bonus recipe. For the keto marmalade, you still use prunes for authentic taste, but the sugar content is dropped dramatically compared to the regular sugary version. When the sugary prune marmalade has 7.6 grams net carbs per tablespoon, my keto marmalade has only 1.8 grams net carbs per tablespoon. For one pastry, you need just a teaspoon or two for a fabulous flavor!

Read on to find the ultimate keto version for the traditional Finnish pastries that we gulp down humongous amounts during the holidays here in Finland.

Simple Beef Bone Broth Recipe

September 29, 2016 By elviira 11 Comments

Simple Bone Broth Recipe | Low-Carb, So Simple

Here’s my simple take on one of my favorite superfoods, bone broth. It’s made from beef bones and jam-packed with many nutrients that help improve digestive and joint health.

There are many ways to include bone broth into your diet, but I prefer to drink it straight out of mug, piping hot, seasoned with an ample amount of unrefined sea salt. You could also use it as a soup base, or add it to any recipe that needs a little extra flavor or moisture.

My Way to Roast Pumpkin

Roasted Pumpkin | Low-Carb, So Simple!

I guess there are as many ways to roast pumpkin as there are people roasting pumpkins. I decided to do my bit and tell you about the method which I have learnt to use.

The main problem for me has always been that the pumpkin I’ve roasted is very watery. I really was fighting to get the consistency like that of canned, solid-pack pumpkin. Finally I found a simple way, and that I would like to share with you. Hope you find it useful as well if you haven’t tried that out yet!
