Low-Carb Baked Strawberry Pots

Have you tried baking strawberries before? They’re delicious. A great idea if your strawberries are a little past their best and need using up.

Baked in lemon juice and vanilla means there’s no need for any extra sweeteners like Stevia this time keeping them lower in natural sugars that won’t spike your ketone levels.

I love these Keto Baked Strawberry Pots for breakfast and as a pudding treat. They can be packed into glass jars and enjoyed on the go too. So versatile and easy to make. The easy toasted almond crumb just makes the whole dish sing.

Lip smacking noises came from the kitchen downstairs whilst I was shooting a picture of this one. I think the family think this one’s a winner. I hope you do too.
