Hard to imagine something so delicious can be so low in carbs! Rich too so you don’t need much.

Its got to be a crumble Persephone...I have a low carb crumble recipe...although I have not made this one...another I borrowed from @Mark Parrott ...I'll post it for you.
 
LOW CARB SIMPLE CRUMBLE RECIPE for @persephone

Ingredients:
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup ground linseed
1/3 block of butter diced (of a standard sized block)
1/4 cup sweetener
Inulin to sprinkle on top (optional & may not do anything)

Method:
1. Add ground almonds & linseed to a bowl
2. Add diced butter & rub with fingers until breadcrumbs are formed
3. Add sweetener & stir in to mixture
4. Pour onto whatever stewed fruit you like (it was rhubarb in my case) & remember to sweeten fruit with sweetener
5. Sprinkle Inulin on top. This should technically caramelise the top.
6. Shove in oven on gas mark 4 (177C) for about 20 mins, but check regularly so it doesn't burn.

Inulin can be used for caramelisation (is that a word?) & although the crumble did seem to caramelise in places, it may have done that without the Inulin. You can substitute the inulin for any other preferred sweetener.

Persephone...if you do make the crumble...can we have a photo for the thread please?...good luck...I may try one with some blackberries & extra thick cream.
 
Just ordered my zero calories zero carbs syrup from Bulk Powders & some low carb rice...they are on special offer (the butterscotch & vanilla are currently £2.69 each) at the moment and if you spend £15 you get another 40% off your total order...they do charge postage...but it only cost £2.95 for all six items...so easy peasy pancakes with butterscotch syrup this weekend...will try the rice & get back to you all on that...can't wait.

Low Carb Naan Bread

My mission for today is to recreate this naan bread...I have borrowed this from @Marsbartoastie (again) tweaked it with some garlic puree & dried coriander (use whatever herbs & spices of your choosing)

naan bread 1.jpg Naan bread 2.jpg


1/2 cup oat flour
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp sugar (I used icing sugar to make it more available to the yeast)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 sachet 'easy bake' type yeast
2 tbsp coconut oil (you could use butter instead)
1 cup blood warm water
1/4 cup natural yogurt

Method

Melt the coconut oil (or butter) and add the water and yogurt. Make sure the mixture is blood warm.
Put all dry ingredients in the mixer, make a well and add the wet ingredients.
Mix using dough hook for 5-10 minutes until nice and stretchy. Alternatively, knead by hand.
Leave to prove for a couple of hours (will double in size).
Knock back and cut into six pieces.
Heat a big non stick frying pan until good and hot.
Flour a board and roll out your first naan (mine was not quite as fat as a £1 coin, but I'll make it a bit thinner next time). I had to stretch it with my hands as it was very springy.
Slap into the hot pan and watch it slowly swell. Leave for a few minutes without bothering it until it's puffed up and is nicely browned on the bottom.
Flip it over and do the other side.
Brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with seeds.
