12 All-Time Classic Keto Chocolate Recipes – Keto Fudge, Cakes & Cookies

Don’t miss out on chocolate on a keto diet. It’s very, very good for you. It concentrates the benefits of a plant-based diet into a powerful, melt-in-the-mouth package. A keto chocolate recipe isn’t cheating and there’s no guilt in eating these creations.

Why? It’s the very high flavonoid content of chocolate. Flavonoids are powerful anti-oxidants positively linked to a longer life. 

One study published in 2006 looked at three groups of men with low, medium and high chocolate consumption. 

The group with the highest consumption – about 10 grams of cocoa daily – had half the risk of all-cause mortality. They were basically half as likely to die during the course of the research as those in the lowest group. Even more striking, they were 60% less likely to suffer heart disease and stroke.

One other surprising benefit of chocolate is that it mimics exercise. The compound (–)-epicatechin produces some of the benefits of being active, such as increased blood flow in your muscles. If you’re active as well, the benefit is in addition to that from real exercise.

So eating chocolate is a win-win. If aliens ever invade, they’ll probably be here for our chocolate. It’s both delicious AND good for you, especially in recipes that leave out the sugar, like all of these.
