I try very hard these days to keep my carbs as low as possible. One of the things I have been baking at home recently is carnivore bread which consists of egg yolks, butter and baking soda. I learned about this recipe from @ketogenicgirl on Instagram. I love the texture, flavor and how it helps me keep my blood glucose levels steady.
It is so good that I have also been trying to make all kinds of other delicious things to eat using this same recipe as a base. (Keep in mind that additions of herbs and sweeteners change this recipe to low carb & keto instead of carnivore).
One thing that I have missed is a good cinnamon muffin or cinnamon coffee cake. I have tried a few recipes using almond flour or coconut flour – but the texture was too heavy, the flavors weren’t quite right and although still technically low carb – they were still more carbohydrate than I wanted to consume.
So, I decided to see what would happen if I tweaked the carnivore bread recipe. I was curious what would happen if I added in some cinnamon and sweetener. Could I make something that would satisfy that want for a good cinnamon cake? Turns out my hunch was right and it was really good and only 2 total carbs per serving.
This recipe is the result of my Sunday morning experiment. My family loves it and I love it too.
