GLUTEN-FREE LOW-CARB BAKE MIX
1 1/2 cups oat flour (certified gluten-free), OR soy flour (slightly lower carb)
1 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup sifted coconut flour (available from Netrition)
1 tsp Xanthan gum (available from Netrition)
Yield: 3 cups, 12 servings of 1/4 cup each
100.7 calories; 4.2 g protein; 5.3 g fat; 7.0 g net carbs
Note: In the dieting phase, use sparingly in special recipes that require no more than about 1/4 to 1/2 cup bake mix, otherwise in greater quantities use this bake mix occasionally or at pre-maintenance or maintenance levels. Freeze baking that will tempt one to have too much at a time. Keep it handy for defrosting in limited quantities as needed.
Here is the nutritional breakdown of Coconut Flour:
Per 2 tbsp (14 g):
26 calories; 1.5 g fat; 2.0 g protein; 10 g carbs subtract 9 g fiber = 1 g net carb or 8 grams of carbohydrate per cup
Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins
These muffins are so good - no butter or fruit spread required. Granted these muffins are higher carb than the muffins in my low-carb cookbooks. The highest I ever went was 8 grams with most of the muffins being around 3 or 4 grams of carbs each. Nevertheless these muffins are less than half the carbs of the original Splenda recipe from my diabetic cookbook, Splendid Desserts. I think this bake mix gives people with gluten intolerance some other options.
Cream Cheese Mixture
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp Splenda Granular
Chocolate Batter
1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix
3/4 cup Splenda Granular
3 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp powdered Erythritol (optional)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup of a mixture of half cream and half water
1/4 cup light-tasting olive oil
Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat the cream cheese and 2 tbsp Splenda Granular until smooth and light. Set aside.
Chocolate Batter: Place dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
Beat the egg very well. Stir in the cream mixture and olive oil.
Add the liquid ingredients to the well in center of dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened.
Spoon a little chocolate batter into bottom of 8 greased muffin cups. Place a generous teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter in each muffin cup and top with chocolate batter, to 3/4 cup full.
Bake in a 375°F oven 15 to 20 minutes.
Yield: 8 muffins
