6. Tips for Keto Baking Success

• Use the Right Flours: Almond flour and coconut flour are your best friends in keto baking. They act differently from traditional flours, so follow recipes closely.
• Sweetener Substitutes: Erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, and stevia are great sugar alternatives. Adjust the amounts to suit your taste.
• Embrace Fats: Butter, cream cheese, and other high-fat ingredients add richness and help keep you full.
• Plan Ahead: Many keto desserts can be made ahead of time and stored, making holiday preparations easier and less stressful.
