Who doesn't love a good cupcake? Especially when it fits into your keto life and tastes like a Reese's peanut butter cup! For this weeks recipe Thursday we made Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes that I found over at Joy-Filled Eats.  and let me just say that they were the most delicious cupcakes ever!! 

Ingredients:
  • 4 Tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener 
  •  4 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla 
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup almond flour 
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour 
  • 1 tsp. baking powder 
  • 1/4 tsp. salt 
Peanut Butter Topping:
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 3 Tablespoons Swerve Sweetener 
Chocolate Ganache:
  • 7 oz 85% dark or unsweetened chocolate
  • 6 oz heavy cream 
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener 
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sweetener until it is light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the eggs and mix well. Stir in the flours, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Divide the batter between 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let completely cool. 
  2. Stir together the peanut butter and sweetener. Divide between the cupcakes. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. 
  3. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds. Warm the cream in the microwave until it is about the same temp as the chocolate. Use an electric mixer to incorporate the cream into the melted chocolate. Add the sweetener and mix until smooth and shiny. It should be about the consistency of hot fudge. 
  4. Spoon a big blob of chocolate on top of each peanut butter topped cupcake. Gently spread it to cover the peanut butter. 
  5. Let chill in the fridge and enjoy!!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
