Take your pick from these 50 plus fun at-home keto baking projects! Choose from sugar free mug cakes, easy sweet treats for beginners, recipes using low carb pantry staples and 5 ingredients or less as well as grain free breads, rolls and comforting dessert classics.
I think everyone needs a list like this to fall back on, whether you're on holiday with the kids, enjoying a long weekend, hunkering down when it's cold and wet outside...
...or for those days when you simply got some extra time on your hands and feel like a small (or large!) treat.
For me, keto baking - and enjoying something I've baked - is a stress-buster.
That's why I want to share with you a selection of the easiest, most delicious and comforting baking recipes on Sugar Free Londoner.
I've chosen recipes with as few ingredients as possible and included ones that require low carb staples you're likely to have in your pantry right now. As always, there are ideas for variations and substitutions in each post.
I hope they'll inject some fun and joy into your lives!

Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies - 4 ingredients and absolutely foolproof 😉
Soul-Satisfying Keto Chocolate Cookies - make these in under 20 minutes!

It lasts for weeks and tastes wonderful with yoghurt and berries.

i came across your website a while back and I like your recipes and your approach to cooking. As an expat who is also now keto and a very youthful 71 years young, I really have a hankering for some keto shrewsbury biscuits but can't find any on the internet. Is this something that you have experimented with yet? Waiting, in hope, for a positive reply!

Hi Roslyn, I had to google them and they sound similar to my keto sugar cookies. You could add lemon rind and orange zest and a few currants and sprinkle over some granulated sweetener. Check it out and let me know what you think!
