Low-carb baking dilemma
Replies

I bought same goodies, almond flour, coconut flour you name it. It's been almost 2 month and I have still tons left. I did bake Keto chocolate roll cake once, it was ginormous but pretty good. I made my fam eat it and they did. Lasted 4 days lol
I will do MIMs and stuff that's is easy and not time consuming. I found a recipe for flax bread and that's the only thing I want to make for now. Tomorrow I will make some bagel rolls with seeds, they look delicious so I wan to try it.
Care to share, please? I do have some golden flax I bought to try, but I haven't gotten around to looking up bread recipes specifically for it yet.
Basic MIM
Serving Size: 1
1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.64 net carbs)
1 packet Splenda® packet (0.9 net carbs)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (1.84 total carbs, 1.2 fiber)
1 large egg (0.6 net carbs)
1 teaspoon butter
(total carbs is 12.07, fiber is 8.8; net carbs is 3.27)
Put the dry ingredients in a coffee mug. Stir.
Add the egg and the butter. Mix.
Microwave 1 minute (or more). Take out. slice, butter, eat.
Your MIM can be toasted once it's cooked and topped with cream cheese if you like.
This is the recipe we use, you can add or change spices to make it taste different but we use this as bread for fried egg and spam sandwiches.
Would this work with almond or coconut flour? I really hate flax
Ive never tried it but Hubby makes me a chocolate MIM with almond flour, like a chocolate cake. But ive never tried to use this recipe specifically
Yes, you can substitute almond flour for all or part of the flax in MIMs. DJ Foodie has a good base recipe: http://www.djfoodie.com/One-Minute-Muffin. I have successfully made variations with all almond flour, as DH and DS don't like flax.0 -

1 1/4 c almond meal
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 c old cheddar, finely grated
1 1/2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1 large egg
spices optional, I use cayenne pepper
Whisk together egg and oil in small bowl. In larger bowl combine all dry ingredients, then add wet to dry, mixing well.
With a rolling pin, roll out dough evenly between 2 pieces of parchment paper. I like mine quite thin. Remove top parchment, and score dough into squares with a pizza cutter. Slide parchment with cut dough onto a baking pan and bake at 350 F / 175 C for about 15 minutes. I do mine for 20 minutes to crisp them up a bit.
Now for the hard part....let them cool on the baking pan for 30 minutes, then break apart crackers.
these are so good with cheese, or with dips, with guacamole, or on their own. Now I'm dreaming of a crab and cream cheese dip to go with them.......
Kitn, If I don't have any grapeseed oil, do you think I could use light tasting olive or no-taste coconut oil as a subtitute? I'm not sure I have ever eaten grapeseed oil... is it a light tasting oil?
Thank you,
