What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B: none
L: broth
S: low carb choc brownie - last one! :nailbiting:
D: 'Banting Toad in the Hole', broccoli and green beans. I am not going to post a link with the recipe, because it was AWFUL. Neither Mr B nor I actually ate more than a third of our 'hole' portions. The sausages (Black Farmer) were good, but honestly, that batter was dire. The recipe used a combo of coconut and almond flour, but all we could taste was the coconut. And it was thick and stodgy like a heavy cake. What a waste of good ingredients. And there are leftovers today. O Joy. I think I will probably pick the sausages out and eat them alone!

I would LOVE to find a decent LC batter recipe for Toad in the Hole, but am obviously still searching...

I bought some super sausages last night and really fancy toad in the hole ... did you make the recipe that includes 'protein powder'. I've got a yearning for batter so was researching today. Was about to spend silly amount of money on Almond flour when I stopped and wondered if it's worth it.

Surely there must be a good batter recipe somewhere?? Wonder if @debrasue knows one? I really want toad in the hole!
 
The recipe I followed was egg, milk (i used water), coconut and almond flours and a few twiddles as seasonings. The coconut dominated and ruined the whole thing. But i have noticed that about coconut flour in other recipes, too.

Well, I haven't tried this one yet, but I did find the following recipe for pancakes, which is pretty much the same as batter...

2 eggs
2tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
2 tbsp coconut milk
Pinch tsp salt
2 tbsp sifted coconut flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
Blend together eggs, oil, coconut milk and salt. Combine coconut flour and baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter. The almond flour might have made @Brunneria's recipe 'cakey', but of course with this recipe you may still get the coconut taste...

Alternatively, I use the following recipe for pancakes, but I'm not sure how it would work as a Toad in the Hole. Maybe you could just try dipping the sausages in it and frying them like a tempura...? Or make pancakes and roll the sausages in them. Or perhaps add a little protein powder to the mix to give it a bit more 'substance'...

3 large eggs
3 tbsp cream cheese (e.g. Philadelphia)
1/4 tsp baking powder
salt

Another alternative would be to ask @ewelina what she recommends - she's the guru, after all!

Good luck - let us know how you get on! :)

Ok. The one I was thinking of uses coconut milk, Almond flour and tapioca starch. Tempted to give it a try - if I can source the ingredient without breaking the bank ...

That looks more promising than the one i did.
I would need to get protein powder though. The only stuff i have is egg powder with vanilla (can't use the soya or the whey). The pea might be worth trying though...

Let us know when you've cracked it @ewelina :)
 
B: Nothing - no appetite
L: Nothing - no appetite
D: Homemade (full carb*) steak & kidney pie (suet pastry topping), runner beans with butter

(* Haven't tested BGs yet, but as it was pretty much the first thing I've really fancied eating all week, I'm not going to beat myself up about it.)

UPDATE: BG +2.5 hrs pp was 7.5 - I was expecting worse. And that's with prednisolone on board, too. :)
