From what I have heard from friends and read online about the Keto Diet, many followers crave sweets + I hear them. I love something sweet and I am no stranger to dietary restrictions.
One of my go-to baking tricks is adding frostings or glazes. Not every baked good needs it, but when you want to add more sweetness (or occasionally cover up an imperfection…Shh!), a frosting is the perfect solution.
Plus frostings are quick and easy, making them ideal for last minute cravings. :) Just whip this up and top your favorite gluten-free or Keto muffins, loafs, or whatever else strikes your fancy.
