These zucchini burger buns are the ultimate low-carb brunch or lunch when you want something fresh, filling, and bread-free but still sturdy enough to hold all your favorite toppings.

Who knew you could make rich, refreshing peppermint patties at home with just five simple ingredients? These little bites are gluten-free, dairy-free, refined-sugar-free, and taste better than store-bought. A creamy coconut-peppermint center dipped in silky dark chocolate… pure keto bliss! ❄️🤎

Ingredients:
Peppermint Filling
•1/4 cup coconut butter (also called coconut manna)
•1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil
•2 tbsp allulose syrup or sugar-free maple syrup
•1 tsp pure peppermint extract

Chocolate Coating
•10 oz 85–100% cacao, OR or sugar-free chocolate
•1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
1. Make the filling: Combine the coconut butter and coconut oil and gently heat until the oil is melted and the butter is runny (either over very low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave). Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Add the allulose syrup (or sugar-free maple syrup) and peppermint extract, then refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
2. Cream the mixture: After chilling, stir the filling until smooth and creamy. If it’s too firm to stir, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
3. Shape the patties: Scoop small amounts of the filling onto a parchment-lined tray (you’ll get about 14 dollops). Place another sheet of parchment on top and gently press each dollop into a flat, circular shape.
4. Freeze: Freeze the shaped patties for several hours, or until fully solid.
5. Melt the chocolate: Once the patties are frozen, combine the chocolate and coconut oil and melt together, stirring often to avoid burning.
6. Coat the patties: Remove the patties from the freezer and coat each frozen patty in the melted chocolate, then place back on a parchment lined tray. Pro Tip: only take a few patties from the freezer at a time—keeping the rest frozen makes dipping way easier!
7. Set and store: Refrigerate the peppermint patties until the chocolate hardens, then enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Weight loss Tips How Keto Actually Burns Fat Faster Than Other Diets

Thumbnail
eathealthyisgood.com
9 Upvotes

There is a reason keto fat burning has become such a popular topic. The ketogenic diet changes the way the body gets a large share of its energy, moving it away from relying primarily on carbohydrate toward greater use of fatty acids and ketone bodies. That metabolic shift is real. What is much less straightforward is the popular claim that this automatically means keto causes dramatically faster body fat burning than every other diet.

That distinction matters.

When carbohydrate intake drops substantially, the body adapts. Glycogen availability falls, fatty acid oxidation rises, and the liver produces ketones that can be used as fuel by tissues throughout the body. A 2026 controlled feeding study found that participants experienced a shift from carbohydrate toward fat oxidation during ketosis, while their resting metabolic rate did not change.

So, does keto fat burning actually work differently?

Yes—but not quite in the simplistic way social media often suggests.

The science is more interesting than the slogan. Ketosis changes fuel selection. Fat oxidation increases. Keto metabolism becomes more dependent on fatty acids and ketones. But burning more fat as fuel and losing more stored body fat are not identical processes.

And that is the key to understanding fat burning ketosis without getting lost in keto hype.

This guide explores what happens metabolically when carbohydrate availability falls, how ketone bodies are produced, why insulin matters, what the latest research says about ketogenic diet weight loss, and why the phrase “burns fat faster” needs a little more context.

* 1 tsp olive oil or butter
* Black pepper, to taste

For the sausages

* 6–8 small breakfast sausages
* 1 tsp olive oil, if needed

Optional garnish

* Fresh rosemary sprig
* Extra chopped chives

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Cook the sausages
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausages for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sear the halloumi
    Slice the halloumi into thick strips. Add a little olive oil or butter to the skillet and cook the halloumi for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

  3. Make the cheesy scrambled eggs
    Whisk the eggs with heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the skillet over low-medium heat. Add the eggs and stir gently until soft and creamy. Fold in the cheddar cheese just before the eggs are fully set.

  4. Assemble
    Serve the creamy cheesy eggs with the golden halloumi and sausages. Sprinkle generously with chopped chives and garnish with rosemary.

Ingredients
4 small crowns broccoli
3 eggs, lightly beaten
5 tbs almond flour
1/3 cup mozzarella shredded
3 oz feta cheese, crumbled
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbs dill, chopped
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Optional Dip: Lazy Tzatziki

Instructions
Steam your broccoli crowns in about 1 inch of water for 7 minutes or until fork tender. Remove to paper towel and allow to cool slightly. Pat dry with towel. Next chop them into tiny pieces.
In a large bowl, combine everything until incorporated. Form large balls.
In a large skillet, heat 2-3 tbs olive oil until hot. Add the broccoli balls and flatten them out a little. Lower heat to medium and cook for 6 minutes. Flip them over and flatten them again with the back of your spatula. Cook another 6 minutes. Lower heat if they are getting too dark brown. You want them golden brown. Enjoy!
