Ingredients

  • 2 Cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons  oat fiber see notes
  • 3 egg beaten
  • 1 Cup sour cream
  • ½ cup baby corn chopped (see notes)
  • ¼ cup jalapeno pepper chopped, fresh
  • ½ cup butter melted, grass-fed
  • 1 Cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 teaspoons  Swerve Confectioners Sugar or powdered erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • jalapeño sliced into thin rings, for topping, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.  In a separate bowl, add the eggs, sour cream, swerve and butter, then mix to combine.  Add in the jalapeño peppers, cheddar cheese and baby corn.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients, just until combined.  Pour the mixture into an 8 X 8 glass or ceramic baking dish that's been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  4. Optional: Top with the thinly sliced jalapeño pepper rings.   Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Store leftovers in the fridge for several days or freeze.  It thaws and reheats perfectly!

Notes

  • If you're not comfortable adding the baby corn despite it only containing 4 net carbs for the entire recipe, you can certainly omit it and just adjust the macros accordingly.
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
