I don’t know about you but I think low carbing is hard, especially if you are cooking separate meals for your family, which I think most of us are. It’s one of the reasons I try to keep things in small portions on this blog, and prefer microwave to conventional baking. If it wasn’t for the ability to make quick and easy, single portions of low-carb foods I wouldn’t be able to stay on a low-carb eating plan. It’s just reality, folks.
I wanted something sweet this afternoon. I really wanted a full on tea, with scones and Devonshire, and tea, and fruit… I just needed something to be?just for me.
I’ve put in a couple of hard weeks (months, years) and even though life is great I am exhausted and empty. I have a bad habit of putting everyone else first, not saying no, and running myself ragged — I’m not going to lie. It doesn’t help my eating plan because I then rationalize that I?need and deserve?a Milky Way bar because I have worked so hard. One Milky Way bar turns into an orgy of chocolate and caramel, ending with me in a sugar coma surrounded by candy wrappers.
It ain’t pretty. But this is… don’t you think?

Being able to divert my attention with one of these kinds of treats really helps. You could make the almond crumble tea cakes ahead if you want but it won’t travel well. The cookies are very crumbly.
They are also very filling. Wow.You can make these into plain shortbread cookies and the recipe will make two very large ones.
I used Walden Farms Raspberry jam for the filling of these raspberry almond crumble tea cakes. It has 0 carb, 0 calories, and I have no clue what it’s made out of but it is good stuff! If your diet allows you can use fresh raspberries or raspberry jam. Just remember to add in the extra carbs.

Sounds good, but where are you getting one carb from? There are 3 net carbs just in the almond flour alone. There are carbs in vanilla, and cream cheese as well. I would put this at closer to 4 or 4.5 net.
My calorie counter has this at 1.8 carbs with .8 fiber. Using different brands of almond flour puts it at .4 to 2.0…. I use this calculator https://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
