15 low carb and keto ideas for Easter

Easter with all its treats is tempting you to simply let the healthy low carb or keto diet lapse for a few days after all. And yet there is no need for that. We show you 15 delicious ideas for the Easter season that you can fit perfectly into your keto or low carb nutrition plan from Foodpunk and that everyone celebrating with you is sure to enjoy as well. You will also find further tips for healthy eating at Easter in the article “How do I celebrate a low carb or keto Easter?”

Are you looking for an Easter plaited loaf that is low carb but not finding one? Then today is your lucky day, because we have a brand new recipe on the blog that not only tastes heavenly but is also made super quickly, thanks to our Foodpunk Keto & Lower Carb Le Bread. The hazelnut glaze tastes mildly nutty and rounds off the loaf, which with 7.02 g of carbohydrates per portion is also suitable for a keto diet.

This picture is bound to remind you of the Easter celebrations of your childhood, where carrot cake could not be missing under any circumstances. But our foodpunk style low carb carrot cake does not only taste good, it also has healthy benefits at the same time. On top of that it is super simple and quick to make, and it tastes incredibly moist and delicious. The carrots, rich in beta-carotene, come together with a finely nutty flavour that is rounded off by a lemony kick. Anyone who claims that a sponge cake is boring and dry will definitely be convinced of the opposite here.

Do you also want to hunt for chocolatey Easter eggs, but without finding a sugary praline with a guarantee of cravings afterwards? We have the solution for that: homemade Easter pralines. They are perfect as a little snack for brunch, they look sweet and on top of that they fit ideally into a keto & low carb diet.

What would Easter be without eggs? So our Eggs Benedict on low carb toasties comes in just right. Crispy toastie rolls, South Tyrolean bacon, goat’s cheese and avocado, on top of that a perfectly poached egg with keto-friendly hollandaise, garnished with fresh parsley and bright red cherry tomatoes that unfold their summery sweet flavour when fried… ideal for an Easter brunch with good friends or also for an Easter breakfast for two for someone particularly dear to you.

Easter time is simply carrot time, so our creamy low carb carrot soup with “snow” cannot be missing from this article. “Snow”, you are wondering? Yes, we had that in the last week of April as well, but what is it doing in my soup? Quite simple. That is what we named our MCT powder when it came onto the market, based on the series “Breaking Bad”. One or two long-standing Foodpunk fans may still remember the campaign (more on that in the article “Foodpunk from its founding to today”). Thanks to the MCT this soup gives you an extra load of energy right away, and who does not need that on holidays?

It does not always have to be the Easter plaited loaf for breakfast. This Easter breakfast is low carb, Paleo compliant, gluten free and made very quickly. Young, fresh baby chard, organic eggs, salmon ham and walnuts make up a flavoursome feast for everyone who wants to try something new.

Another Easter breakfast with which you can tickle your taste buds with new combinations is our low carb luxury breakfast. With this dish the fresh wild garlic lets spring move in with you. In combination with slightly tart spinach, fruity tomatoes and crunchy hazelnuts, the result is an egg breakfast that does not only look pretty but also tastes unbelievably good.

Hardly any carbohydrates, plenty of vitamins and valuable proteins from good meat. With these ingredients the Foodpunk spring lamb flatters not only your palate but also your summer figure. The dish is suitable for Paleo, it is low carb and it is easy to optimise for a ketogenic diet. Are you still looking for the perfect Easter meal? With this you have found it.

The second lamb dish in this list comes from Marina’s book “Low Carb typgerecht Express”. Okra pods and aubergines from the oven go perfectly with the lamb fillet seared with rosemary. A flavoursome combination that does not only look good on the Easter table.

You do not want to do a lot of planning but would rather have a fully worked out 3 course low carb menu for Easter? Of course we have something suitable for that on the blog too:

• Starter: lamb’s lettuce with a spring-fresh raspberry dressing,
• Main course: shoulder of lamb with rhubarb
• Dessert: creamy strawberry tiramisu

The strawberry tiramisu of our low carb Easter menu in particular is a real eye-catcher.

With their yellow lemon cream and white meringue topping, these little tartlets look heavenly and decorative on the Easter table. The lemon curd is wonderfully lemony and sweet and yet completely low carb. The shortcrust pastry is entirely low in carbohydrates and gluten free as well. Thanks to the poppy seeds, the pastry base makes a lovely contrast to the cream. On top, airy light caps of beaten egg white adorn the delicate treat.

This sight makes everyone’s mouth water, doesn’t it? Our carrot muffins are suitable for low carb and sugar free, thanks to the sweetening alternative xylitol. By cleverly swapping the ingredients, the keto and Paleo variants are also possible. Have a look at the recipe right away and let yourself be inspired.

At Easter time the fresh berries of the season are slowly starting again, so it is perfect timing to bake a few low carb shortcrust tartlets with vanilla custard. By the way, you can read up on which fruit is best suited to a keto and low carb diet in the article “This is how much fruit you can eat on a keto diet“. Of course you can use any kind of fruit for the tartlets, but spoiler: berries are the “low carbers” among the types of fruit.

Not just something for vegetarians. Our low carb cake in the shape of an Easter lamb is Paleo, gluten free and consists of just 5 basic ingredients. It also does entirely without sugar, white flour and questionable additives, it is perfectly suited to a healthy diet and it even wins over the most critical guests.

On top of that, a tip from our recipe developer Doris: “Coat the Easter lamb in lower carb chocolate. Then it is still super moist after 4 days.”

The best comes last: strictly speaking, our triple layer tart with its several layers is even a “quadruple layer” tart if you count the base: a white coconut base, then the pink layer of raspberries and coconut yoghurt, then a snow-white layer of coconut yoghurt and plenty of fruit on top. All of it incredibly low in carbohydrates and with valuable medium-chain fatty acids from the coconut. We promise, this tart will not be standing on the Easter buffet table for long. What is more, with this coconutty fruity treat for the palate, which is also AIP compliant, you can really get yourself in the mood for summer.
