🧾 Ingredients

For the Quesadilla

  • 2 low-carb/keto tortillas (almond flour or homemade, 6–7 inches)

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
    (or frozen, thawed and well-drained)

  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (for cooking)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Sugar-free maple syrup

  • Dusting of powdered erythritol

  • Fresh mint leaves

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, powdered sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, ensure they are fully thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture.

3. Assemble the Quesadilla

Lay one keto tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.

4. Layer & Seal

Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to seal.

5. Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or coconut oil and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.

6. Cook

Transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and lightly crisp.

7. Slice & Serve

Remove from heat and rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing into four wedges. This helps the filling set slightly.
