Xanthan gum makes soups and sauces a little thicker and silky-smooth, salad dressings blended, and baked goods uniform in texture with a consistency closer to that of wheat-based baked goods.For this recipe, I made Keto Beef Empanadas, but you can use chicken, pork, cauliflower, or even make them sweet with berries! These are a great keto meal prep recipe that reheats easily. Keto Empanadas are like delicious little pouches of goodness that are super filling while still being low in carbs. It’s worth making a loaf, and keeps in your fridge for days. The texture and flavor is superior as a carb/gluten alternative.
This recipe uses eggs, almond flour, coconut oil, olive oil, baking powder and xanthan gum (a thickener).
The hands-down favorite was this Keto Bread recipe. 1 cup granulated Swerve Sweetener, divided. Keto Strawberry Sauce is perfect as a topping on your low carb cheesecake, pancakes or even ice cream! With just four simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of this Keto strawberry sauce in a matter of minutes. If you are using the lemon curd as a dessert topping, you may omit the starch altogether. If you decide to use xanthan gum, mix it into the sugar so it doesn’t clump. I’m interested in sharing the best texture and tastes, not a “good enough” result. Xanthan gum makes things slippery and dulls flavor. Don’t forget to Pin this recipe to your Keto Board to save for later. Done! Top with sesame seeds or sliced green onion and serve with cauliflower rice. Let it come to a boil, and stir for about 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken and reaches your desired consistency. Make a slurry with xanthan gum and water and add it to the pot. I use one tablespoon of Xanthan gum for recipes calling for 1/2cup - 1 cup of flour. The biggest trick to using Xanthan gum as opposed to flour is to remember that you use FAR less Xanthan gum than you would flour. Xanthan gum! Xanthan gum has 7g of carbohydrates per serving and 7g of fiber per serving for a 0 net carb total. Everyone keeps asking about my Keto gravy thickened with Xanthan gum so here you go! I'm not the best keto chef but I hope you like this as much as I do!Hi.
