I don’t know about you but I have a serious sweet tooth and avoiding desserts is just not an option, so if you are following a Keto Diet or just trying to live a healthy lifestyle you have to have some sugar-free dessert recipes to enjoy

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB SUGAR-FREE PUPPY CHOW (LOW CARB MUDDY BUDDIES)

Traditional Puppy Chow is super simple to make. But of course, it’s loaded with sugar and aside from the butter, most of the usual ingredients aren’t low carb/keto-friendly.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR LOW CARB SUGAR-FREE PUPPY CHOW

You know how to make traditional Puppy chow, but what is low-carb puppy chow made of? How do we it just as delicious but give Puppy Chow a healthy twist?

7 oz bag of sugar-free Lily's Dark Chocolate chips, melted
3 tablespoons Kerry Gold Grass-Fed Butter, softened
1/2 cup no sugar added peanut butter
1 cup Lakanto Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener
1 bag Catalina Crunch chocolate cereal

THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER FOR KETO MUDDY BUDDIES

Most nut butters are made with a lot of added sugars and inflammatory oils, so It’s very important to check your peanut butter’s ingredients list before tossing it in the cart. Try to I always look for peanut butter with no palm oil, vegetable oil, added sugar, and has a short ingredients list, like this Natural Way Peanut Butter I found on Amazon.

WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATE TO BUY FOR LOW CARB PUPPY CHOW

To keep this recipe sugar-free I suggest using dark chocolate chips sweetened with either monkfruit or stevia, like Lily's Dark Chocolate chips. You can usually find Lily’s products in most grocery stores or you can buy them Amazon like I do. Sometimes buying online is cheaper than grocery stores, just compare prices before deciding where to buy them from.

WHAT TO COAT KETO PUPPY CHOW WITH

Usually, Puppy Chow is coated with powdered sugar and Lakanto has an amazing 1:1 Powdered Sugar alternative that works perfectly and keeps the recipe sugar-free and low carb. Lakanto Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener is zero-calorie, Keto Diet Friendly, zero net carbs, zero glycemic, so a great product to keep stocked in your pantry for all your low carb baking.
