Low Carb Baking

[Sally W]

@Kaylz Truvia needs to be used in quantities of a third of sugar

Will try this on Saturday mmm. Thanks vince.

I'm doing those today Carol...if I hadn't gone back out to work last night I'd have some in the oven now...I'm starving.

Stevia is something like 3 times sweeter than sugar. Not sure about Truvia. The others are 1:1 ratio.

Mark like @Sally W says I think they are exactly the same.

Sorry no truvia and stevia are a lot sweeter. xylitol is equal to sugar though🙂🙂

Does opening a tin of Baked Beans count?

 

[Vince_UK]

They look delicious.

Thanks Benny, they are lol and additional butter makes the less dry.

If you put them in the oven...then into cake cases...yes it does Vince

No...yes...erm... what I meant to say was that Stevia & Truvia are exactly the same and you have to reduce the quantities of both...out to work last night Sally...so still not awake yet😱😱😱.

I can attest to this fact. The proof is in the pudding, or rather was in the macaroons that I made with a 1 to 1 substitution of xylitol with truvia. The result was so sweet my taste buds exploded. I covered the macaroons in very dark chocolate for a satisfying result.

But did you manage to eat them all Benny?

Just proving some bran bread burger buns...I used the bran bread recipe this will make six decent sized buns in an extra large muffin tray.

Ingredients (make about 15 slices):
3 eggs
8 tbsp. oat bran
16 tbsp. wheat bran
10 tbsp. whey protein powder (natural, no added flavour)
5 tbsp. greek style yogurt...I substituted the Greek yoghurt for four Laughing Cow Cheese triangles (which are lower in carbs than the Greek yoghurt I normally use) & 2 tbs of olive oil
12g dry yeast
5 tbsp. warm water...I increased this to ten tbs of warm water you want a fairly wet mixture
tsp. salt
half a tsp of garlic puree & a sprinkling of provencal herbs

Preparation:
Line little baking form (19cm long and 8 cm wide) with baking paper.
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the baking form and cover with tea towel...Leave in a warm place for about 40 minutes to rise.
Bake for 10 minutes at 200C and then for 15 minutes at 190C.
Let it cool down a bit before slicing.

These are burger buns made in a jumbo size muffin tray (silicone) then sliced sideways into three...just the right size for a burger...some cheese & salad.

Burger buns in the oven...got a good rise in proving them despite the change in ingredients...so I should know in approximately 20 minutes of so if it works...they smell so good...fingers crossed.

Cheese Burger with roasted mushrooms for lunch...this is with the recipe I have just posted above.





Delicious...even if I do say so myself.
