Keto Meringues

Ingredients
250mls Egg Whites
1 Tbs Cinnamon
2 tsp Vanilla extract
5 tsp Sweetener (Hermestas)

Method
Pour eggs whites into a bowl on beat until soft peaks form, gradually add in Cinnamon, Sweetener and Vanilla and continue beating until a firmer trail forms behind beaters.
Preheat oven to 100 degrees
Spoon mixture onto a greased tray and bake at 100 degrees for the first 10 mins, then set oven to 90 degrees and bake for another 2hrs. The idea is to remove all moisture slowly. Check occasionally, they will firm up but will be fluffier than normal meringues.

Alternatively, instead of Cinnamon, add finely ground coffee granules to make Coffee Flavoured Meringues. Or leave out the spices and have them plain, top with whipped cream!

Keto Bread: Flaxmeal Bread

Ingredients
2 cups Flaxmeal
1 tsp Bicarb Soda
5 egg whites (5 tbs)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup Macadamia Oil (olive and coconut can also be used)
1 tbs Sweetener
Pinch of salt
Optional: add cinnamon and top with Oats
Method
Combine the dry ingredients, then combine the wet.
Work into a dough
Spread into a small loaf pan or make into muffins.
Bake on 160 degrees fan forced for 15-20 until the bread bounces back.
I rolled this into 12 muffins.
Note: the original recipe instructed 1 Tbs of Bicarb, this was too much as was all I could taste.
