Who doesn't love the great Canadian treat BeaverTails, with all that sugary cinnamony yumminess?
I used to love them but now I enjoy these keto beaver tails instead because they don't spike my blood sugar and are so simple to make.
I used Maple Ghee from Switch Grocery but you could just use butter if you don't have the maple ghee.
Sometimes you can get similar treats at carnivals called elephant ears. Whatever you want to call it, this is the closest keto version I can come up with.

- Using a parchment lined cookie sheet flatten out 1 of the portions, use another parchment paper on top to form a beaver tail the size of your hand
- Bake in preheated oven at 425 for 8 minutes or until edges are golden brown
- Once out of the oven and still warm, slather them with the butter or maple ghee

Each half keto beaver tail is about 2 net carbs, depending on how big you make them.

two bonus points with the use of alternative sugar and the time it's made. I have many friends trying out KETO diet and will share this to them
