How do I make cauliflower pizza base? Have seen it being talked about on here but searched the site and cannot find the recipe, thanks
 
Low carb baking can be yummy and can look pretty too. Ive got some many ideas for different cakes just short of time for baking!
 
Not really new here, but new to posting. I thought I'd share a muffin in a mug recipe I created. It is flour free, sugar free, low carb, gluten free.

Chocolate - Peanut Butter Muffin

Tools needed.
Fork
Microwave safe mug or ramekin
measuring spoons


Ingredients.
One large egg (warmed in hot tap water - at least three minutes)
One tablespoon of cold pressed, organic refined coconut oil or whole butter
One tablespoon of organic powdered peanut butter. A great brand is Bell plantation.
One tablespoon of organic 100% cocoa powder - sugar free
Pinch of salt (optional)
2-4 drops of EZ Sweets or your favorite no carb liquid sweetener.
1/4 tsp of gluten free baking powder.
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

In your microwave safe mug or ramekin, melt your coconut oil or butter, but do not let it get hot. Only enough to melt it.
Add egg, sweetener, and vanilla and mix well with your fork.
Add dry ingredients to your egg mixture and blend until smooth, (no lumps)
Pop it in the microwave, on high for one minute.

The muffin will rise, so be sure to have your mug or ramekin large enough. This muffin is fluffy, a great, smooth cake-like texture and it does not raise my blood sugar levels after a two hour, post meal check.

I've not done the exact values, but my mental calculations brings this muffin in at less than 10 carbs. I eat around 20-30 carbs a day. 30 is my max.

Has anyone tried Kale Crisps?

Totally guilt free snackiness.
They will never replace potato crisps, but like all things low carb, if you get them right, they are delicious in their own right.

I made some last night, and this is what I did:

1 huge bag of curly kale (casually ripped)
1 teasp of oil (olive, rapeseed, or similar)
1 dessert spoon of curry paste (Korma, biryani, or just a few spices like coriander, chilli, cumin, ginger, etc)
salt to taste

Add oil and spices to a big bowl
roughly shred the kale, removing thick stems if necessary
Add kale and toss and massage with fingers until a thin layer of oil is spread over every leaf
Lay kale out in a single layer on a baking sheet
and sprinkle with salt, to taste.

Bake the kale on your lowest oven setting until it is crisp, dry and light as a feather, this could take 30 mins or 3 hours, depending on oven temperature. You are looking for crispness without brown edges or loss of green colour.
It isn't an exact science, so just go with the flow, and you can always cook for longer, or shorter, next time!
Allow to cool
store at room temperature in a jar or airtight container.

I image they would keep for a week or more, but they never last longer than 24 hours in our house.

You can use all sorts of seasonings, including soy sauce, balsamic, powdered onion, cheese or garlic.

The recipe above is for baking gently in an oven.
BUT you can always use a dehydrator (I do) instead (4 hours at 150 degrees, or 6-8 hours at 115 degrees).

Hi, and welcome!

if you pop 'creamy cabbage' in the search function it should come up. It's somewhere near the beginning of a low carb recipe thread, but I can't remember which one.

Hi and welcome!

Perhaps better to post your introduction into a new thread in the new poster section, or ask your question over in 'questions'.

More people will see it there, and you will get a better welcome!
