These biscuits are tender, flaky, and have that classic buttermilk flavor without the excess carbs. Made with almond flour and coconut flour, they are a perfect accompaniment to breakfast, brunch, or as a side for your favorite keto-friendly soups and stews. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Recipe: Keto Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener), optional

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream or Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. If desired, add the granulated erythritol and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (you can use additional almond flour for dusting). Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass with a 2.5-inch (6 cm) diameter to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut out additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

No-Bake 3-Ingredient Milk Pudding Dessert – Weight Watchers Friendly! 🥛🥚🍮

Welcome to a delightful treat that’s as simple as it is satisfying. Our No-Bake 3-Ingredient Milk Pudding Dessert is the perfect way to indulge your sweet tooth without compromising your Weight Watchers goals. With only three main ingredients, this recipe is straightforward, yet it yields a rich and creamy pudding that’s sure to impress. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through every step of the process, provide useful tips, and give you all the nutritional information you need. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients Overview

1. Unsweetened Almond Milk (500ml / 2 cups):
This ingredient is the base of our pudding. Unsweetened almond milk is a great alternative to traditional dairy milk. It’s low in calories and has a mild flavor that complements the sweetness of the pudding. For Weight Watchers, unsweetened almond milk is notably low in SmartPoints, making it an excellent choice for this dessert. Each 2-cup serving contributes just 1 SmartPoint.

2. Granulated Sugar (70g / 1/3 cup):
Granulated sugar is used to sweeten the pudding. While it adds a pleasant sweetness, it is also the ingredient with the highest SmartPoints value in this recipe. With 10 SmartPoints per 1/3 cup, it’s essential to measure carefully. To reduce SmartPoints, consider substituting with a low-calorie sweetener compatible with Weight Watchers.

3. Large Eggs (2):
Eggs are crucial for the pudding’s texture, providing richness and helping the pudding set properly. Each large egg contributes 2 SmartPoints, so the total for this recipe is 4 SmartPoints. Eggs also add protein, which can be beneficial in maintaining fullness.

4. Optional Vanilla Extract:
Adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile of your pudding. Vanilla extract does not add any SmartPoints and can elevate the taste with a subtle hint of vanilla.

5. Optional Garnishes (Chopped Nuts or Caramel Sauce):
If you choose to add garnishes, be mindful of their SmartPoints values. Chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce can make your dessert more decadent but will also increase the total SmartPoints of the dish.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Preparation of Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Measure 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, and crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. If you’re using vanilla extract, have that ready as well.

Step 2: Mix the Eggs and Sugar
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Using a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This step is crucial as it ensures that the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the pudding.

Step 3: Heat the Almond Milk
Pour the unsweetened almond milk into a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Warm the almond milk until it’s hot but not boiling. You want the milk to be warm enough to help dissolve the sugar and blend with the egg mixture, but boiling can curdle the eggs.

Step 4: Combine Egg Mixture with Warm Milk
Slowly pour the beaten egg and sugar mixture into the warm almond milk. It’s important to do this gradually while continuously stirring. This method, often referred to as tempering, prevents the eggs from scrambling by gently raising their temperature.

Step 5: Cook Until Thickened
Return the saucepan to the stove over low heat. Continue to stir the mixture constantly. The goal is to cook it until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be patient and keep the heat low to avoid curdling.

Step 6: Pour Into Cups
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the pudding mixture into serving cups or bowls. To avoid any potential skin forming on the pudding, you can press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding.

Step 7: Cool and Chill
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover each cup with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the refrigerator. Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours. This step is essential for the pudding to fully set and develop its creamy texture.

Step 8: Add Optional Garnishes
Before serving, you can add optional garnishes to your pudding. A light drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts can add texture and additional flavor. Be sure to account for the SmartPoints of any additional toppings you choose to use.

Nutritional Information

Per Serving (Assuming 4 Servings Total):

• Calories: 96
• SmartPoints: 4 (without optional garnishes)

Tips for Success

• Even Cooking: Stir the pudding constantly while it’s cooking to ensure even heat distribution and to prevent lumps.
• Temperature Control: Keep the heat low while cooking to avoid curdling. The pudding should be cooked gently.
• Alternative Sweeteners: To reduce SmartPoints, consider using a zero-calorie sweetener such as Stevia or Monk Fruit. Adjust the amount to taste.
• Serving Suggestions: For a more indulgent treat, serve with a small amount of fresh fruit or a dollop of low-fat whipped cream.

Conclusion

This No-Bake 3-Ingredient Milk Pudding Dessert is a versatile and delicious option for those following the Weight Watchers plan. It’s easy to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and offers a creamy, satisfying treat without a hefty SmartPoints cost. By following these detailed instructions, you’ll create a dessert that’s not only enjoyable but also aligns with your health goals.

Enjoy your creation and celebrate the balance of taste and nutrition with this simple yet delectable dessert. 🌟

The entire “crust” of these keto pizza chips is made of cheese; mozzarella is my personal preference, but parmesan, cheddar, or a combo will work as well.

Italian spice can be added as a finishing touch to add a little additional taste.
