Hello. I am looking for a recipe to make my own low-carb baking mix from scratch. If anyone has a recipe they'd like to share, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

Sherrielee, Thanks so much for the recipes! Can you give me a bit more info about the texture-properties that each "mix" has? Do you use all three or is there one that you prefer over the others. Also, where can I get the ingredients that you have listed for the best prices???

Thanks again for your time.

This WPI version......how is anyone using it? I mean, this is plain WPI basically, not mixed with almond flour/meal. Or are you using like 1/4 c, with 1/2 c nut flour?
Thanks,
Bette

I made the WPI version and so far it hasn't worked out very well. Used it in place of the Bake Mix for Sherrie's Waffle Buns and the consistency was way off. The batter was runny whereas when I use the Bake Mix it's very thick. I added up to an entire cup extra and it still didn't work out.

I know it is pricy but Carbsense 0 carb bake mix is awesome and goes a long way in recipes

I just wanted to share a comment about Carbsense's 0 Carb Bake Mix. I made the recipe from their site using the Bake Mix, and our pancakes were like rubber and the insides didn't cook. I have two boxes, and I am afraid to make anything else with it, because I wasn't happy with the pancake recipe.

I wrote to Carbsense and shared what happened, and he said that the texture will be more rubbery than most, and that you have to use a higher heat on the griddle and cook them a bit longer to make sure they are cooked through.

Any other recipes that you have used that turn out better than the guilt-free pancakes?

thanks so much.

I used Sherrie's soy based mix for pancakes with a little flax meal stirred into it and we thought they were light and very good. I also made her cornbread recipe with the soy baking mix and it was awesome. I just had a left-over piece today with butter and log cabin SF syrup--good! I got the soy products at a local healthfood store.

For a bake mix substitute, I use the following:

2 cups WPI
2 cups Soy Protein Isolate
2 cups soy flour (NOW brand made from roasted soybeans)

I do not add any seasonings to this mix. I just stir the whole thing together very well. Then when a recipe calls for flour I measure out from my mix, then add whatever seasoning are called for in the recipe. So far, we have liked everything I've baked using this.

I forgot to mention that I do NOT add any salt to any recipe that I use WPI in. WPI is extremely salty on it's own; no extra salt needed.

I have never made pancakes out of the bake mix, but I have made pancakes out of the pancake mix and found them to be pretty good

I always add about 3 ounces of cream cheese and about 1/4 cup of flaxmeal to the pancake mix to stretch it and add flavor

I have made the cinnamon muffins and they are great - but I do add a lot of flaxmeal, and extra water.

I also used the bake mix mixed with egg and parmesean as a batter. I fried eggplant slices in it and made a low-carb eggplant parmesean. Yum

I went to the health food store to see what it would cost to make the mix substitute using Soy products and here is my analysis:

Soy Protein $4.60/lb bulk

Soy Flour $2.70/lb

So to get equiv to 2lb Atkins mix is $7.30+ 7.75% CA tax = $7.87

Amazon is $9.29 when you order 3 and get free shipping. So save (1-7.87/9.29) = 15% mixing it myself (ignoring the cost of salt, baking powder, and sweetener).

So is added hassle mixing it to save a buck-forty and Amazon comes to the door in nice sealed bags.

But your availability may be different. And Amazon will be collecting CA sales tax starting later this mo, so there goes 1/2 the savings.
