Keto Strawberry Crumb Cake

This low carb and Keto strawberry crumb cake makes the perfect sugar-free breakfast or teatime snack.  And each serving has just 8g net carbs.

Good morning, my lovelies.

Today I'm going to share a recipe for Keto Strawberry Crumb Cake, but first I want to take a moment to revel in the glory of strawberries.

Fruit can be a contentious subject on a low carb diet, but there is a general consensus that berries are acceptable.

So you don't need to worry about the Keto Police coming after you if you make this strawberry dessert.

These berries fall right in the middle in terms of carbohydrate count, since their net carbs per cup are 9g. In contrast, blackberries have 6g and blueberries have 18g net carb per cup.

There are few things better than a bright red juicy strawberry when it is in season.

But, like tomatoes, you can almost never find flavorful strawberries in grocery stores. They are grown year round in commercial facilities, usually in California and Florida, but their natural season is a short window from April to June. That's the best time to find them in farmer's markets and grocery stores.

So what do you look for in a strawberry?

Color, number one. When strawberries are ripe, they are bright red and shiny. They should also be firm, dry and nicely plump (kind of like how I like my men). (Just kidding.) Steer clear of strawberries that are either too light or too dark, because they are either not ripe enough, or too ripe. Strawberries don't ripen after you buy them, so what you see is what you get.

And so ends my lesson on the mighty power of strawberries.

Now get out there and make some low carb strawberry crumb cake you crazy kids!

Ok, chow for now!
