Stupid Simple Sugar Free Oatmeal

Wednesday, May 13, 2020



Just like the name of this oatmeal.... this recipe is really easy to make! I'm not opposed to carbs (although I do eat a lot of low carb recipes), since they're essential to living and thyroid health! But, when I started eating a lower sugar diet, I needed an oatmeal that wasn't so shocking to my blood sugar. 




And that's how this super simple oatmeal was born... out of my desire to keep the carbs, but to make them as healthy as possible!




I don't know about you, but I love toppings on my oatmeal! (Thank you to all the hotel breakfasts that helped me realize how awesome oatmeal toppings are!)





Stupid Simple Sugar Free Oatmeal Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1.5 cups water
  • splash of heaving whipping cream
  • pinch of salt
  • spoonful of Pyure sweetener (or, sweeten to preference)
  • sprinkle of cinnamon (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • walnuts
  • raisins

Stupid Simple Sugar Free Oatmeal Instructions

  1. Add water, heavy whipping cream, and old fashioned oats to a pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Once oatmeal has reached a boil, turn heat down to low and continue stirring as oatmeal thickens.
  3. When oatmeal is near desired consistency, add salt, cinnamon, and sweetener to taste. Then add butter and stir.
  4. Transfer oatmeal to a bowl and add walnuts and raisins, or your toppings of choice! 


And that's it! It doesn't get anymore simple than that.

Sugar Free Chocolate Frosting Recipe

Tuesday, May 12, 2020



Oh. My. Chocolate-y. G!! This sugar free, low carb, keto, and THM friendly chocolate frosting will kill any desire that you may have for "regular" frosting!

I remember my mom always making a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting while I was growing up and I've missed eating it since I started eating a lower sugar diet. This frosting has made me miss it no more!




This time, I used this frosting on a low carb chocolate cake. Next time, I'm going to use it on a sugar free vanilla cake! Heck, you could even make this frosting for a batch of brownies. You can't go wrong with chocolate frosting!




Sugar Free Chocolate Frosting Recipe

  • 1 cup Swerve confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup melted Bake Believe semi-sweet chocolate chips


Sugar Free Chocolate Frosting Instructions

  1. Beat softened butter in a mixing bowl for 1 minute.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine with a mixer.
  3. If frosting is too thick, add more whipping cream until consistency is to your preference.
  4. Lick the spoon and enjoy!
