Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store keto sprinkles?

To store keto sprinkles, keep them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and air, which can cause them to become sticky or lose their texture. Place the container in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps maintain their crispness and vibrant color. Properly stored, sprinkles can last for several weeks to a few months. If youโ€™ve made a large batch, consider using smaller containers or resealable bags for easy access and to minimize exposure to air each time you open them.

How do keto sprinkles differ from regular sprinkles?

Keto sprinkles differ from regular sprinkles primarily in their ingredients and nutritional profiles. While regular sprinkles are typically made with sugar, corn syrup, and artificial colorings, keto sprinkles use sugar substitutes like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit to avoid added sugars and carbs. This make sprinkles suitable for low-carb and ketogenic diets. Additionally sprinkles often use natural colorings instead of artificial dyes. The result is a similar aesthetic and fun for decorating treats, but with a significantly reduced impact on blood sugar levels and overall carb intake.

How can I make keto sprinkles at home?

To make keto sprinkles at home, mix 1 cup of powdered erythritol with 1/4 cup of water to create a thick syrup. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired. Spread the syrup thinly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it dry completely, which can take several hours or overnight. Once dry, break the sheet into small pieces or grind them into sprinkle-sized bits. Store your homemade keto sprinkles in an airtight container to keep them fresh. These sprinkles can then be used to decorate cakes, cookies, and other low-carb treats.
