The Best Keto Pizza

Crust Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp oil (melted coconut, olive, grapeseed)
  • 1.5 tsp Garlic flakes smashed into a powder with mortar and pestle (or just use powdered)
  • 1.5 tsp fine, organic salt, or Himalayan Pink salt – but smashed fine
  • 1 tsp Xantham Gum
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 full bag (`16oz) Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients EXCEPT the Almond Flour in a large mixing bowl with a whisk until they are mixed well. Add the full bag of Almond Flour. Stir with a fork until a ball forms then knead with your hand. Place the dough ball into the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Roll out the dough using two pieces of parchment paper a little larger than the size of an (18 x 13) rectangular baking sheet and a roller. You’re going to roll this out fairly thin and this much dough is perfect for a large baking sheet (actually called a half sheet in professional setting.) Make sure you measure your pan because this dough needs to be rolled out thin and you may have enough for more than one pan if your pan is not as large as mine. There is enough dough to roll it out, then roll back the edges so that you form a little bit of a raised crust around the outside. After rolling out, simply remove the top parchment paper and put the bottom piece, paper and dough, right into your baking pan. If you do not have a pan this size, you can 1/2 the recipe, or, if you have 14 inch round pizza pans, this is enough dough for two of those.

Bake for about 10 minutes, until it is crisp, but not burned.

Pizza Ingredients

  • Pizza sauce of your choice (I used tomato sauce here, but have made it out of pumpkin in the past)
  • Cabbage
  • Hamburger seasoned with oregano
  • Applegate Uncured Pepperoni
  • Black Olives
  • Mushrooms
  • Green Peppers
  • Organic Mozzarella Cheese OR Daiya Mozzarella if Dairy Free (this is what I used, it was fab!)

Directions:

Cook hamburger and season. For keto, I don’t drain it. I just let it cool in the fat. Slice and prep other toppings and feel free to add/sub as you like.

When Pizza crust is done baking, top with ingredients, the bake another 8 minutes at 425 until cheese is melty. Cool a bit and enjoy.

Breakdance Brownies

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 heaping cup Gluten Free Oats
  • 1 cup total any combo of honey and maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or desired sweetener
  • 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 heaping cup cocoa
  • 3.5 cups cooked, drained, and rinsed Black Beans
  • generous 1/2 cup Coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 Bag Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (save for stirring in last)

DIRECTIONS

  • Put Oats into food processor and pulse for a bit if oats are Old Fashioned. Otherwise, just add Quick Cooking Oats.
  • Add all other ingredients EXCEPT Chocolate Chips and process until well mixed.
  • Stir in Chocolate Chips
  • Put into 9 x 13 baking pan lined with Parchment Paper
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
  • Allow to cool fully before eating.

WHAT’S IN THE CUPBOARD

You can use either Old Fashioned Oats or Quick Cooking Oats for this recipe. Just give the Old Fashioned Oats a few pulses to grind up the larger oats first. You’ll want to add this ingredient first so that you can pulse it without anything else being in the food processor. You can use a substitute for the Chocolate Chips, but don’t omit them.

DISHING ON THIS DISH

These are hands down the best brownies you will ever have. If you’re not already breaking out in dance because there is NO FLOUR NEEDED, then you will when you taste the flavor of these moist and fudgy treats. Bonus for the healthy black beans and yes, they taste and look phenomenal. This recipe produces a large 9 x 13 pan of thick, full bodied brownies that are not wimpy, oily, or thin yet have the perfect fudgy texture. I debated on calling these Breakdance brownies because they are fabulous enough to make you dance or Phantom Brownies because they will disappear before your very eyes. Enjoy!
