I’m a writer based in South Wales, with an unhealthy obsession with stationery and baking. I mainly blog for my own sanity, but I’m also working on a novel. Still.

I’ve been on a sugar-free, extremely low carb diet (almost keto) since mid-January due to my gestational diabetes (it’s a joy…). The hormones in my body decided I won’t be able to process most forms of sugar while I’m pregnant fairly early on, so I’ve had time to try out a few new things. It can be hard to find tasty desserts and cake that isn’t chalky when your diet is this limited, so maybe this will help one or two readers. Let me know what you think!
Photos are from the respective websites These no bake cookies from Stacey at Soccer Mom Blog went down a treat. Great on their own, or a cheeky dollop of cream. They’re quick to make, have the added depth of flavour of peanut butter, and you can feel really smug knowing they’re not at all bad for you!
Brenda, from the USA, AKA Sugar-Free Mom has a brilliant recipe for gluten, dairy and sugar-free brownies, and they’re gooooood, especially if you like yours fudgy. The beans replace the flour, and they are one of the few keto-friendly desserts without coconut in them, if that’s not your thing. Obviously with no flour, they don’t rise, so be prepared for a shallow bake or use a smaller traybake tin.
This was my favourite find. It’s hard to find things which aren’t chocolate based, but this carrot cake was delicious and I’ve made it repeatedly when I needed a baked goods fix. A great addition to the breakfast table, even, it’s so not naughty! You can tell it’s not so sweet, but it’s by far and away the best keto cake I’ve come across. I didn’t make the frosting and it was still great. Thanks to Maya, the blogger here!
Yes, you can still eat chocolate on a low sugar low carb diet! I buy Nick’s sugar-free chocolate from Amazon, and it worked amazingly in this chocolate bark recipe from Jennifer Banz. Ultra quick, simple ingredients, and a bit of a novelty (or it was at the picnic I took it to). Just watch it doesn’t melt on the picnic table in this gorgeous sunshine we’ve been having!
I’ve got just three weeks until Baby V is due but I fully intend on continuing to bake mainly less sugary and lower carb recipes. These treats will be a regular in our house even after the pregnancy diabetes has gone!
Why not follow Stacey, Jennifer, Maya and Brenda’s blogs, there’s a great collection of recipes to be enjoyed. Thanks ladies! Lou x Find me on Facebook Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
