[@barbarapitts6618]

I have followed several of the keto bloggers and you are my favorite by far because you explain why you do things the way you do and you explain why each ingredient is included and what its action is in the recipe. I have learned so much so quickly because I had been using several of the ingredients like xanthan gum without really knowing why it was included. Also, almost all of the other bloggers are stuck on almond flour which has not given good results in much of my baking. You are a breath of fresh air in this field!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Aww thank you! I'm glad I can help everyone understand keto baking! Yeah I'm really surprised no one else has realized there is a better option out there! I guess good for me though, lol.

[@arbonneladyTN]

Exactly! Love them all!

I just made the Italian butter cookie recipe, but I used it as a thick crust and topping for blueberries tossed in swerve… my Mom used to make a blueberry pizza with a pie crust bottom and crumble topping, and I’ve been wanting to re create that for some time. But figuring out a really good keto crust is hard when I’m trying not to eat gobs of nuts. I doubled the recipe, used a 9” silicone round pan, I cannot believe how great this turned out. A lot of keto deserts leave me feeling unsatisfied. I don’t know why but even when they taste good, it doesn’t hit the spot. This did though. The bottom was thick like a brownie, but tasted like a cookie, it was crispy and chewy… I cooked it for a while maybe 40-45 mins till the top got golden, the bottom didn’t burn at all. This was seriously incredible. Finally a crust that tastes like a cookie and not coconut and also it has no weird tastes that some keto ingredients impart. It is like a thick cookie cobbler. It’s fantastic. Thank you! ( the batter was easy to put in the bottom of the pan but very difficult to spread on top, I just kept my hands oiled and I was determined to make it work)

[@talysen1678]

I subscribe to several keto vlogs, however yours is my favorite. You are a real world chef who takes baking as an experimental science, always trying to test and improve the recipes. I just baked your jam thumbprints and they were amazing. I had given up on almond (grit) flour and had resigned myself to no cookies or cakes in my life. So thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Wow, thank you! I'm sooo glad you I can help bring cookies and cakes back into your life, that's my goal!!! Happy you loved the thumbprints 😊 You are so welcome!!! Merry Keto Christmas!!

Aww so glad I can help the true bakers out there. But I fear that is why I will never make a living on youtube. Oh well, it is what it is, I'm happy to help the ones that need it, like me who want good keto pastries.

[@flipnawesome5756]

Hi Alycia, fellow pastry chef here (trained but not working). So happy to see a professional making the recipes. As with you, tried the recipes created by “home cooks/nonprofessionals on the net, and found they were not good. Can’t wait to try these. I don’t just have a sweet tooth, I have a sweet and bread addiction! That’s why I went to culinary school.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Welcome fellow pastry chef! Sounds like we have a very similar problem in a few ways. I hope you enjoy the recipes and they hold up to your standards!

[@agolfiend]

I made these and took them to a Christmas gathering. I told them they were “keto” and encouraged them to try them. They said they were good and several went back for more….so I knew they really did enjoy them. Thank you!

I tried the thumbprints today (used store bought jam), and am very pleased. Recently I have begun to have issues with almonds, so I wanted to experiment with non-almond recipes. I tried coconut flour some time ago, but found it so dry I couldn't swallow it. That is NOT the case with your recipe. It is so good, WITHOUT that dryness. Thank you for sharing.

Made these yesterday, I had never used a tip, wanted to do Milana cookies, I used the large tip, but uses zip lock bag, mistake number 1 , tip broke thru bag, then I pushed through with finger, then tried to get off the paper, I was covered with dough, it was tasty, I thought if my hubby saw me now I was literally covered in dough, I was laughing so hard. My next mistake trying to cook on silicone sheet (I went off printed copy, I should have watched video again, but after finally getting tip from Amazon I went gun ho) the dough was delicious, I probably y ended up with 14 Italian cookies. Maybe I will try again when I get pastry bag. Thank you for you hard work

Alycia; I am crazy about your Thumb Print cookie dough. I have been experimenting and have had successes and failures. But isn't that life. I did make one that I love and I call it a Pink Lemonade Cookie. They are beautiful. I wish that you could see them. It is all you; I just goofed around. And I haven't seen every video that you have ever made...but if you need an idea, the only differences that I did is doubled the recipe and changed the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and add 2 teaspoons of lemon extract; oh yeah, I added 3 more tablespoons of coconut flour. Everything else is the same. Except I did add buttercream frosting that I added lemon extract to taste (go light on the frosting) and red food coloring to make it pink. Decorate with pumpkin seeds as a 5 pointed flower. Can you see it? A yellowish cookie with pink frosting and a little green flower on top. With that much extract you need to let the cookies set out for several hours so that the alcohol will totally evaporate. Thank you for your amazing recipes. I'm having so much fun playing in the kitchen. Love and Respect, 🌻❤🌻

[@KetoUpgrade]

Awesome! So glad I could help you have fun in the kitchen! Sounds like a delicious cookie! You are very welcome! Happy baking!

I use citric acid powder instead of lemon juice otherwise you just have to boil it longer to get rid of the extra water.

King Arthur makes a sugar replacement that is the closest to real sugar I’ve found. I highly recommend it for keto baking.

I love the expertise you bring to keto recipes. I noticed you use imitation vanilla extract. With all the quality ingredients (as well as expensive) used for low carb treats, I'm curious about the imitation extract.

[@KetoUpgrade]

I just use it because there is no sugar added to it and it is cheap. I go through sometime one of those big bottles a week with all the testing, I can bring myself to spend 30 dollars for the same amount of good stuff. That is the best tasting cheap one I found, the great value imitation was awful, just tasted like alcohol.

Hello I just came across you on KZbin, I will definitely be trying these recipes when I get a chance but I am curious have you ever used allulos sweetener if so what did you think of it. I have tried various keto recipes with either stevia or monk fruit or swerve none of the recipes I've tried really taste good I don't know if it's the sweeteners or it's just me, I've tried Brownies,cakes, cookies nothing really that good. Except for a carrot cake I made using Splenda it was delicious, but from what I've read that's not keto.

[@KetoUpgrade]

I use allulose in several recipes I like it for many desserts but not much for baked goods. If you have tried other recipes, it's probably the recipe, not the sweetener that you didn't like, I find almond flour ruins keto desserts for me. There are also tricks I've figured out for keto baked goods that make them taste like regular baked goods. I encourage you to watch some of my videos to learn about keto ingredients and techniques and try a few of my recipes as written. Hope you enjoy!

[@kathrynsear8447]

yeah so I followed another raspberry recipe that called for gelatin, it was AWFUL!!! This one I have done for a few years and it is so much better.

I noticed some sweeteners being used for certain things. Like which sweetener would be best for which function? Like making jam or filling, crispy cookies etc... Any uses for granular or liquid stevia?

[@KetoUpgrade]

Granular stevia you find at the store isn't usually straight stevia, it's usually blended with erythritol or some other additives usually to make it the same sweetness as sugar so you can use it in any of my recipes. Liquid stevia I have used in recipes to cut down on the amount of monkfruit/erythritol blend I use. And I like liquid stevia to add a little extra sweetness to whipped creams and other sauces, frosting and fillings.

[@Micheolene]

Merry Christmas Alycia. Your Thumb Print cookies are amazing! I just made my third double batch and I wanted a little bit of Christmas coloring. I didn't have any green sugar substitute.

What can be used in place of coconut flour? Coconut flour has a very off putting flavor to me

[@KetoUpgrade]

I use the organic great value coconut flour and I find it doesn't have much of a flavor at all, and I hate coconut. But if you have to change the recipe use 3 x the amount of coconut for almond flour.

[@talysen1678]

Love your channel! Was wondering if I cooked the berries down until “jammy” take it off heat and stirred in either powdered or granulated monk fruit would that prevent crystallization?

[@KetoUpgrade]

It probably would prevent crystallization, the jam didn't look bad after it was cooled but then when I baked them they got a crystalized film over the top of the cookie.

[@robertharrison7975]

I feel these butter cookies would make great spritz cookies as well. What are your thought on putting them through a cookie gun. I usually cook traditional spritz on an ungreased aluminum baking sheet.

I don't understand the question. Like you want a less sweet jam? Or do you want enough to fill a tart?
