    Low Carb Keto Nutella Pastry Braid Recipe

    It happens every year. Every dang year! You’d think I’d know better by now. After all, I do have 43 years of life experience behind me. But every year, it happens. Those darn holidays manage to sneak up on me and I am left scrambling.

    No matter how much I vow to get ahead, no matter how much I promise myself it won’t happen again, I am taken by surprise. Didn’t 2016 just start? I swear I just started managing to write the correct date in my cheque book.

    How can it be December already? And how do I manage that slight sense of panic that I still haven’t finished, or even really started, my holiday shopping?

    Well, at least I can fuel the next few crazy weeks with some delicious keto fathead pastry!

    This low carb grain-free pastry is filled with sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread for a delicious treat.

    Fathead dough is perfect for pastry

    Once again, fathead dough to the rescue. It really is remarkable stuff and I’ve had a lot of fun creating my own versions such as the Magic Mozzarella Dough used in this recipe, or the coconut flour version used in my Keto Bagels.

    It’s flexible and stretchy, it behaves a lot like wheat dough, and it makes fabulous keto pizza recipes and pastry. And it doesn’t even taste like eggs and cheese!

    It’s really fun to play with and I have had remarkable luck in both savoury and sweet recipes. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t be intimidated! It’s easy too.

     

     

     

     

     

    A tender almond flour pastry dough filled with sugar-free Nutella makes a delicious holiday brunch.

    Keto Nutella filling is delicious and festive

    Now for another little tip to get through the holidays…this delicious low carb Nutella Braid for your holiday brunch. It looks very elegant and sophisticated (and like you slaved over it for ages) but is actually quite easy to make.

    My whole family loves it so much, it doesn’t last long. Apparently they’ve inherited my love of chocolate and hazelnut!

    The filling for this delicious keto breakfast pastry is my easy Keto Sugar-Free Nutella. It’s rich and chocolatey, with that special roasted hazelnut flavour. Every time I make a jar of this keto chocolate hazelnut spread, it disappears in a matter of days.

    You simply spread the room temperature keto nutella on your fathead dough pastry and roll it up together. Then you split the roll down the centre, keeping the one end intact, and carefully twist them around each other.

    Delicious!

     

    Perfect with your morning coffee, low carb Nutella Pastry Braid.

    Total Time: 35 minutes
    Servings: 10 servings
    Calories: 236kcal

    Ingredients

    • 1 recipe Magic Mozzarella Dough from Cinnamon Twists
    • ½ cup homemade sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread OR store-bought sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread such as Nuti-Light
    • Powdered Swerve sweetener for sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350F.
    • Spread a large silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Sprinkle with a little almond flour. Turn dough out onto work surface and pat into a rough triangle. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out into a 15x12 inch rectangle.
    • Spread the dough with the sugar-free Nutella, leaving a ½ inch border all around. Roll up tightly from one edge and pinch to seal the seam.
    • Cut the dough down the center, leaving one end intact. Twist the two strands around each other, making sure to keep the cut side of the strands up toward the top. Pinch the ends together.
    • Transfer the whole parchment or silicone liner to a baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the braid is firm to the touch and golden brown.
    • Remove and let cool, then sprinkle with powdered sweetener.

      Hi Carolyn! Thank you for the recipe. It turned out very very tasty (just a little weird on the consistency side; I will try to melt the cheese a bit more next time) I can’t wait to try it again.
      Do you think its possible to make this in advance and freeze it before baking?

      Could hazelnut flour be used instead of the coconut flour when making the twist dough? If I purchase the hazelnut flour for the nutella cheesecakes, I may as well use the flour for other recipies.

        No, nut flours and coconut flour are not interchangeable.

        But here are some other ideas that use hazelnut flour:

      When you’ll find the time, it would be nice to see you showing us how to prepare this recipe in a video: the instructions here are a good guide, but watching you doing the praparation step by step is always encvouraging and moves the most reluctant “I-can’t-do-this-it’ll-be-a-disaster”kind of people 😉 Seems really delicious…

      Did I miss the oven temp?
      I don’t see it in the recipe.

          Great-thank you!
          I was in the middle of making it-used 350 (similar to the cinnamon rolls) turned out very tasty

      My youngest is a Nutella addict so I’m pretty sure he’s going to love this! I might need to get my piece before it’s all gone.
