The holidays are over, but I still crave more sugar and carbs.
In 2016, I made my very first batch of low carb desserts.
I had never made desserts before.
After months of planning, preparation, and baking, I finally got to eat my first low carb dessert.
My favorite desserts: This is my favorite dessert recipe.
If you like this recipe, I would highly recommend checking out the Low Carb Sweet Creamy Biscuit.
This recipe is also a fantastic way to use up leftover coconut oil.
I also like to make my own chocolate covered muffins and cream pies.
The secret ingredient for this low carb sugar-free dessert is almond butter.
Here’s what you need to make:For the crust:1 cup almond butter1 cup rolled oats1 cup coconut oilFor the filling:2 1/2 cups all purpose flour2 cups sugar 1/4 cup melted coconut oil1 cup melted butter1/4 tsp.

If you want to make your own, I have a great recipe for using leftover coconut fat.
This recipe will be the same for both coconut butter and almond butter!
You can also use coconut oil in place of coconut butter for this recipe.
