Low Carb Baking

[Bubbsie]

Looks lovely @Vince_UK.🙂 At least you used the right type of dish. I had no idea what it was suppose to look like.

A flat bottom is always best...no pun intended of course😉

Savoury |Cream Cheese Pancakes

These are different from the easy peasy sweet pancakes I have posted before...they have a different spongy texture...delicious with some crispy bacon & some more cream cheese (why not).


Ingredients (for about 10 small pancakes):

• 
  
  
  • 60 g cream cheese (I used Philadelphia)
  • 50 g ground almond
  • 25 g soy flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla essence
  • 2 tbsp. xylitol

Preparations:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes
Pour 2 tbsp. of the mixture on a quite hot (but not too hot!), greased pan and fry until golden. Flip the pancake and cook on the other side.
For a sweeter pancake serve with berries & whipped cream or powdered xylitol or a sweetener of your choice... for the chocaholics (@Benny G) amongst us drizzle with a little melted dark chocolate/ganache.

1.6gs carbs per pancake
98 calories each pancake although you will need to adjust these measurements for any additions.

Thanks @Bubbsie pancakes are now on the menu. Tonight or tomorrow. I think the bacon and cheese will be enough, chocolate next time. Lol

Well Benny you could make it two courses...savoury first...then the sweet ones for dessert...too much possibly?😉.

Going to make another Blackberry Clthingy today, they are really very nice. Wonder what other berries could be used other than raspberries? Blueberries would be nice but higher carbs, strawberries the same, I guess there is only a the choice between blackberries and rasps.
hmmm
Thinking aloud again, need to stop this.

My recipe I posted (for the xylitol ratio) uses blueberries which I do. Clafoutis is traditionally made with cherries. I’m going to try with a bit of rhubarb at some point

 

[Sally W]

Yes...success the birds have eaten every crumb of the 'purple bread rolls'...so not a complete waste of my time😛

Did I miss this recipe. Purple bread? (Would you mind putting the quiche recipe on the board please? Ta muchly 🙂🙂

I used 80gr xylitol Sally in lieu of the 100gr inulin. I assumed that to be correct, it tasted great lol

 

[Sally W]

Glad you gave it a go. Personally I wouldn’t have used 100gm inulin as it could have an unfortunate effect.....as in the case if my marmalade and almond cake😱

Going to make another today, it was truly delicious and a change from simply berries, more like a genuine dessert.

Strawberries aren't that much higher in carbs, last time I looked they were only around 6g per 100g, I believe blackberries are 5g per 100g so only 1g difference that wouldn't make much difference xx

You can make strawberry crumb bars etc so I would assume as long as they aren't too soft and ripe at the time they would work just as well xx

Cherries are the classic filling Vince...I'm not sure how carby they are...will check that.

It wasn't intentional Sally😉...some brands of psyllium if used in sufficient quantities will turn the bread /rolls purple...they smelt really good...good texture but I just couldt bring myself to eat purple bread...yes I'll post the recipe in the other thread...just wondering what pastry recipe Vince (our baking expert\0 used will check that out.

Well you could use whatever you like Vince...but they may be quite mushy by the time the 'thingy' was cooked...I doubt they will hold their shape or form.

no I'm afraid I don't sorry, I just saw them somewhere, I will look for them later when I've got a bit more time, sorry again
Oh and for folks interested I believe cherries are 11.5g carb per 100g xx
