Description

A delicious low carb and gluten-free twist on the traditional British treacle sponge pudding, featuring a soft almond flour sponge baked with sugar-free syrup for a warm, comforting dessert perfect for keto and low carb diets.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free golden syrup or low carb treacle substitute (divided: 1 tbsp for bottom of dish, 1 tbsp for batter)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a small baking dish thoroughly and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free syrup on the bottom to create a sticky base layer.
  3. Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps to incorporate air for a better sponge texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until combined. Then fold in the almond flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, and the remaining syrup, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
  5. Pour and Cover: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spread evenly, and cover the dish tightly with foil to retain moisture during baking.
  6. Bake Covered: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes with the foil on.
  7. Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the sponge is set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Serve Warm: Let the pudding cool slightly and serve warm, optionally with sugar-free custard or cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Serve warm with sugar-free custard or cream for added richness.
  • This pudding can also be steamed instead of baked for a traditional texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
