If like me you miss a cookie with your coffee mid-afternoon, you might find this recipe interesting.

With the smooth and dreamy frosting and a few fresh berries on the top, this delicious keto raspberry and lemon cake would make a great birthday treat or dessert for a dinner party. It is sweet and fruity but with a lovely citrus kick from the lemon. For an alternative flavor you could use different berries such as blueberries or blackberries, and if your fruit is sweet enough you might want to cut back on the sweetener.

This is a great adaptable recipe as you can make it as it is or make it dairy free if you have issues with dairy. It is a light spongy cake with a real zesty hit in the middle and would grace any dinner table for dessert. This is such a pretty dessert decorated with frosting and extra lemon zest. Yum!

Other Keto Desserts with Almond Flour
Keto Chocolate Brownies
– Keto Summit
Ingredients: coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, almond flour, unsweetened cacao powder, coconut cream, SWERVE confectioner’s sweetener or stevia.
The keto brownies in this recipe are quite thick, so I would suggest cutting them into smaller pieces, but they are so good that you could just treat yourself and go for it! If you can leave them to cool, which can be difficult as they smell amazing, then they won’t be crumbly. If you like toppings on your brownies, then dust them with cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra hit of flavor.
Keto Avocado Chocolate Bread
– Keto Summit
Ingredients: avocados, coconut oil, eggs, almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, stevia, salt.
If you are missing bread on your keto journey then this amazing chocolate bread recipe could help. The avocado makes this bread soft and moist, with a texture quite close to regular bread. This dish could be used as dessert or even at breakfast, but it travels well so you could pop a slice into your lunchbox for work. If you are watching your weight, use this only as a special treat as the calorie level is quite high.
Keto Blueberry Coconut Crumble
– Keto Summit
Ingredients: blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ghee, coconut oil, almond flour, shredded coconut.
With this delicious keto crumble recipe you don’t need to worry if blueberries are out of season as you can use frozen berries instead! The coconut crumble is so good as it has the crunchy texture you would expect and it tastes toasty and makes a great combination with the fruit. The wonderful golden color of this dessert just shouts ‘comfort food’, and this would be a great dish for a chilly day.

This loaf gives you the same lovely mix of apples and cinnamon, yet without the bother of making a pie. It makes a wonderful snack, breakfast idea or as a side for a barbecue or party. Adding applesauce to the actual loaf mix helps to keep the bread softer and adds a fruity tang to the flavor. So if you are missing bread on your keto diet, why not try this great recipe!

Almond tart, or Bakewell tart if you are in the UK, has been a favorite for celebrations for many years, so with this great low carb and grain free recipe you don’t need to miss out.
