Desserts can be difficult if you’re lowering carbs and avoiding gluten. Mom of two and baker Luna Cole is fully familiar with this challenge.
Luna adds, “I had to rethink how I bake.” “But it’s been so satisfying to make treats my whole family enjoys without sacrificing our health objectives.”
Luna’s best low-carb, gluten-free desserts are shown here:
Almond Flour Brownies: “These are a hit in my house,” Luna beams. Made with almond flour, cocoa powder, and a touch of monk fruit sweetener, these brownies are fudgy and satisfying. “My kids don’t even notice they’re healthier,” she laughs.
Coconut Cream Mousse: To make this delicious treat, Luna toss coconut cream, unsweetened cocoa powder with a little vanilla. “You wouldn’t guess it’s low-carb; it’s so rich,” she says. Fresh raspberries provide a taste explosion that tops it.
Lemon Chia Seed Pudding: Both delicious and simple is this dessert. Luna stirs almond milk, chia seeds, lemon zest, low-carb sweetener, then allows it sit overnight. “For hectic evenings when you want a quick treat, it’s ideal,” she says.
