Ingredients
2-3 lb Pork Loin Roast1 medium Onion Chopped1 large Carrot, chopped1 stalk Celery, chopped2 tbsp Coconut Flour1 tsp, finely crumbled Bay Leaf 1/2 tsp Thyme, ground 1 tsp Salt1 tsp Pepper, black 1 tsp Molasses1/4 cup Erythritol1-2 tsp Xanthan Gum
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place vegetables on bottom of a shallow roasting pan. Mix 2 tablespoons coconut flour, bay leaf, thyme, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; rub over roast. Place roast on top of vegetables, fat side up. Add 1 cup water to pan.

2. Roast 1 hour, basting once with pan juices if desired. Mix Erythritol and molasses to make low carb brown sugar. Sprinkle low carb brown sugar over roast. Roast 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°. (Temperature of roast will continue to rise about 5-10° upon standing.)

3. Remove roast to a platter. Tent with foil; let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

4. Strain drippings from roasting pan into a measuring cup; skim fat. Add enough water to the drippings to measure 1-1/2 cups.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk in enough xanthan gum to the drippings to reach desired thickness. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Serve roast with gravy.
