Can you believe that Valentine's Day is in only a couple of days?! Time sure does fly when you're cooking in the kitchen
Today, I wanted to change it up and do 3 Keto Diet Valentine's Day Treats/Breakfast Recipes! Perfect for your special someone, kids, or gal pal! Starting off with my favorite of the three, which is the homemade almond butter and red raspberry Reese's cups.
Then we will move on to the avocado chocolate pudding with a hint of orange zest. Trust me, you can't even taste the avocado!
Finally, with the most light and airy coconut and blood orange pancakes... I call these my pink pancakes for a little Valentine's Day fun!

Three simple ingredients, 10 minutes, and a whole lot of love.
Ingredients

Melt your favorite chocolate, I prefer to use dark chocolate.
Line your cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Add 1 tbsp. melted chocolate into each cupcake liner, and evenly distribute it out into the cupcake liner.
Put it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Add 1 tsp. almond butter and 1 tsp. red raspberry jam into each cupcake liner. Finally, pour enough chocolate over each cupcake liner so that it covers the filling.
Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour, or until hardened. Or you can even set aside in refridgerator or freezer, until hardened.
