- Almond flour vs. coconut flour — they are NOT interchangeable. Always follow the recipe.
- Let baked goods cool completely — keto treats are fragile when warm.
- Store in the fridge — most keto desserts last longer chilled due to the lack of sugar (a natural preservative).
- Measure ingredients by weight for consistent results.
