This is a great low-carb option for those who are missing their breakfast porridge. Imagine the flavor of your favorite Cherry Garcia Ice Cream in a healthy breakfast meal!

And although there are no oats used in this recipe, you will be surprised how much it tastes like real porridge. You can enjoy a bowl of this satisfying keto-approved porridge in less than 15 minutes!

The Low-Carb Amarenata Cherry Sauce does take some time to prepare but even if you don't have time to make the sauce, you can simply top the porridge with fresh or frozen berries, or you can skip the fruits altogether and use some more 90% dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips.

Substitutions and Tips

This breakfast porridge recipe is low in carbs, dairy-free and vegan in case that's the approach you follow. It's sweetened with homemade cherry sauce, dark chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, although you could use additional low-carb sweetener if you like it sweeter.

You can make this recipe nut-free by using seed milk instead of nut milk. Here's a guide to making nut & seed milk if you're making your own.

How To Use Amarenata Cherry Sauce

For this porridge recipe you'll only need a small amount of the cherry sauce which means that you'll have plenty left. You can use it to make many more low-carb recipes, including:

Instructions

  1. To make this Chocolate & Cherry Porridge, you will first need to make our Low-Carb Amarenata Cherry Sauce. This will take an extra 40-45 minutes. You can store the sauce in the fridge in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks. (See recipe tips on how you can use my cherry sauce in other recipes.)
    Tip: If you're short on time, substitute the cherry sauce with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or raspberries.
  2. To toast the coconut and almond flakes, place them in a hot dry pan. Cook on medium-high, tossing frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate to prevent further cooking and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, mix the coconut milk and almond milk and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Once hot, take off the heat and add the chia seeds and coconut flour.
  4. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla powder (or unsweetened vanilla extract), and optionally add low-carb sweetener to taste. Let it sit for 5 minutes for the chia seeds to bloom.
  5. Add most of the toasted coconut and almond flakes, reserving some for topping.
  6. To serve, divide between two bowls and stir in the chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips). Top with the cherry sauce, 1 heaped tablespoon each.
  7. Serve while still warm. This porridge is best prepared fresh but it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and eaten warm or cold.

These beef chorizo burgers are stuffed with melty cheddar cheese and spicy jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Serve these burgers with a bowl of dressed greens, coleslaw or simple salads. It's a satisfying higher protein meal that will keep hunger at bay.

We're making large half-pound burgers but you can easily adjust this recipe and make 3 to 4 smaller burgers instead.

Remember, everyone has different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this recipe. Maybe you need less protein or you want to add a simple salad. You can make any adjustments directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them to fit your macros and preferences.

Air Fryer to Oven Baking Conversion

If you don't have an air fryer, simply bake these in the oven. When converting an air fryer recipe to oven, you will need to bake it at a higher temperature for a few minutes longer.

To bake these Low-Carb Italian Stuffed Chicken Burgers in the oven, preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (fan assisted), or 220 °C/ 425 °F (conventional). Once preheated, place the burgers in a tray lined with parchment paper and place in the middle rack of your oven. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove and top with cheddar cheese and jalapenos. Place bake in the oven and bake for another 7 to 8 minutes.

I used a large half-pound burger press to make these stuffed burgers. If you use a quarter-pound burger press to create 4 small burgers instead, reduce the cooking time by about 20 %.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl combine the ground beef, Mexican chorizo, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.
  2. Use your hands to divide the meat into two equal parts. Flatten each part using your hands. Then take a glass and place in the middle of the burger to create a well just like I did in this recipe. (Alternatively you can use half-pound burger press like I did.)
  3. Spray or brush with avocado oil and cook in an air fryer (one at a time if you can't fit both) at 190 °C/ 375 °F for 6 minutes.
  4. Remove and add sliced or grated cheddar inside the hole. Top with jalapeño sliced and return into the air fryer for another 4 minutes. (If you don't have an air fryer, check the recipe tips above for oven instructions.)
  5. Open the air fryer and let the burger rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve while still warm with a bowl of dressed greens, simple salads or a quick Keto Coleslaw and fresh basil.

Keto Mexican Stuffed Chorizo Burgers

Lettuce wraps aka the unwiches are a keto staple. This unwich is a great lunchbox option for busy days when you don't have more than 5 minutes to prepare a meal.

Plus, lettuce wraps are so versatile! Here are some of the many options you can use to assemble an unwich:

  • Proteins. You can use any cooked or cured meats such as chicken, salmon, steak, smoked salmon, ham, pepperoni, Parma ham, bacon, pastrami or tinned fish such as tuna or sardines. If you eat dairy, you can add any sliced hard cheese. If you don't eat meat, add sliced hard-boiled eggs for a vegetarian option.
  • Vegetables. Apart from using lettuce to wrap the unwich, you can add tomato slices, peppers, cucumber or avocado.
  • Sauce. You can use mayonnaise, pesto, cream cheese or goat's cheese.
  • Flavor. Add a few sliced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichokes or even a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. The options are endless!

For those who don't eat dairy, I've got a tasty dairy-free option. Try this delicious Keto Ranch BLT Lettuce Wrap!
