This White Chocolate Keto Skillet Blondie has a chocolate-y center so decadent it would make Willy Wonka proud. It’s the perfect mashup of a crunchy outside and gooey center, just like our favorite cookies just in skillet form!

The joys of Cacao Butter

The cacao butter gives this treat its white chocolate flavor and taste. On top of that cacao has such a long list of nutritious benefits it’s unbelievable. Cacao has it all including; mood-boosting properties, antioxidants, increased cognitive function, and anti-aging effects. It is beneficial to both heart health and digestive health.

The most interesting benefit I found comes from a study by London scientists that found participants who ate 20 grams of cacao for 12 weeks were able to stay in the sun for twice as long as those who didn’t, without getting sunburned.  I don’t know about you, but I plan on eating enough cacao to never get sunburnt again.

I try not to make desserts a regular part of my diet, I think growing up I probably fulfilled my sweets quota through the year 2067.  My dad and I would easily go through a gallon of ice cream a week.  That was our nightly routine, especially during the summer.  We’d finish dinner, sit down on the couch to watch the Braves game. By the 3rd or 4th inning we’d grab a heaping bowl of moose tracks ice cream, and then be asleep by the bottom of the 7th.  My oh my, how things have changed, I can’t even imagine how terrible I would feel if I ate like that now.

    If I wanted to use an egg, would it be as simple as replacing the chia mix with it and if so, how many? Thanks!

      Yes, one egg should do the trick!

    will this still work if I don’t use the chia seeds?

      The chia and water work as an egg substitute, so If you wanted to leave the chia seeds out you’d need to also omit the water and add an egg.

    I’m horrible st over baking things. How can I make sure I don’t over bake it?
    Also, I have no cocoa butter, can I leave it out and what would I substitute?
    This looks amazing!!

      You can substitute coconut oil for the cocoa butter. You want to take it out when the middle is still a bit jiggly.

    I made these last night because for the first time in 5 weeks I was having sugar cravings. Didn’t have almond butter so used cashew butter, didn’t have walnuts so used pecans. Used powdered Stevia as sweetener. When they had cooled a bit last night they were delicious and satiating. This afternoon, after they’d been in the fridge all night, I had a bite and they are even better! Seriously amazingly delicious. Kinda blew my mind enough to get on here, subscribe and write a review? I know my substitutions changed the macros a bit but it’s worth it to me. I found your site by google search, "cacao butter keto". Thank you!

    Of course, just like I always do, I made a few “additions”. Added about 1 tsp of chicken Better Than Bouillon and 1/4 cup of onions. Also had to add abut 1/2 cup of water for everything to meld together. DEEElicious! A definite keeper for a quick, easy, & delicious meal.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠

If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
