Keto Pork Rinds With Cinnamon

Cinnamon keto pork rinds taste a lot different than traditional pork rinds. Most people who don’t like pork rinds enjoy cinnamon keto pork rinds because of their sugary taste.

Now before you freak out about the “sugar” aspect of the recipe, you’ll be happy to know it’s not simply sugar. The recipe uses natural monk fruit as the basis for its sweet taste. That means 0 grams of added sugars and 0 grams of carbohydrates. And if you love crunchy, healthy snacks, you will love this recipe even more.

Cinnamon keto pork rinds are ideal to have at breakfast time. Their sweet cinnamon tastes good with a hot morning cup of tea or coffee. It will also keep you warm during the colder fall and winter months.

What are Pork Rinds

Have you ever eaten pork rinds before? They are roasted or fried pig skins, depending on how you want to prepare them. Sometimes, you’ll hear the term “chicharrones” used to reference pork rinds. They are the same thing!

Although pork rinds contain high amounts of protein and fat, they have no carbohydrates. That is why they’re considered an excellent snack for people on a keto diet.

How to Sweeten the Keto Pork Rinds

If you’re not on a keto diet and don’t care about consuming carbohydrates, then you can prepare your cinnamon pork rinds with sugar. Those who want to cut out carbohydrates from their diets can use a natural sugar compound like erythritol.

It is found naturally in certain foods like swerve and monk fruit. Your local grocery store should sell these natural sweeteners, but you can always purchase them from Amazon if they don’t.

Cinnamon Pork Rind Cereal – Keto diets usually exclude cereal because it’s loaded with carbohydrates. Well, the one advantage of pork rinds is they have no carbohydrates. If you were to crunch up cinnamon pork rinds into a bowl and mix them with almond milk, you would have the perfect keto cereal to eat in the morning.

Cinnamon Pork Rind Ice Cream – If you miss your ice cream while on a keto diet, you can still do something about it. Crunch up your cinnamon pork rinds and add them to keto-friendly ice cream (it does exist). You can also add sugar-free dark chocolate and whipped cream as well.
