I substituted carbquick for the almond flour and decreased the amount of baking powder to just a pinch - in the 3-minute chocolate cake. OMG It was so good and easy. It tasted just like a chocolate muffin from cosco. (need to let it cool before you eat it - texture changes alot) Also microwaved 1-min 20-sec.

Thanks! I'll have to make it tomorrow for sure. I opted for a whole grain, low carb bagel with SF jelly for tonight.

I told my sister about it - she isn't doing low carb but her kids don't need any sugar - she made it with regular bisquick and splenda - the kids don't even know its a sugarless treat and they had alot of fun making it themselves.

I'm thrilled with the CQ pizza on the back of the box, so much so that I had to post this! There had been a thread a week ago about how it wasn't particularly good; however, my children, DH and I gobbled it up! I made only the dough part and pre-baked that and let it cool (as someone had suggested on another post) and topped it with small amount of pizza sauce, mozzerella cheese and a lot of pepperoni and baked it again until cheese melted. This I will add to the weeknight dinner repetoire in my house, which was getting a little tired....!

I made the donut holes using carbquick. They were awesome! I substitued blueberry davinci syrup for the water and stevia in the recipe. They really did taste like blueberry donut holes. Even my DH enjoyed them. It was a great snack to eat while watching CSI!

The following is from another poster. I just copied and pasted. I used 4 tablespoons carbquick instead of the carbsense. These were really good!



If you love fritters or doughnuts...
You've got to try Raul's Dough-Nots!
This recipe was first posted last year, but for those of you who missed it, it's so worth repeating! I've made a couple of tweaks, which I will note. I also tried adding about a tsp. of chopped apple to one of them before cooking, and it was just like an apple fritter! The carb count is very low for a really satisfying treat, (or in my case, breakfast today).

Dry Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Carbsense Zero Carb Bake Mix
1 Packet Splenda (I used 8 drops liquid Splenda)
1/8 Teaspoon Stevia (I omitted, because I was using Davinci's)
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
(I also added a pinch of nutmeg, because my Grandma always used nutmeg in her homemade doughnuts).

Wet Ingredients:
1 Large Egg White, beaten
3 Tablespoons water (I meant to sub French Vanilla Davinci's, but realized after, that I used Irish Cream. It was delicious!)

1. Beat egg white until frothy with 1 Packet Splenda & 3 Tablespoons water. (I first beat the egg white alone till frothy, but not white, then added the Davinci's and liquid Splenda and beat some more. You don't want it as thick as meringue, but it should have some body to it to help your dough-nots have a nice puffy shape.)
2. Add dry ingredients and combine well.
3. Fry batter in your oil of choice until crispy & golden brown. (I put about an inch of oil in a small sauce pan.)
4. Sprinkle with 1 more packet of Splenda (I mixed some granular Splenda with a little cinnamon to sprinkle over).
Mine came out quite puffy, and not greasy at all! I remember last winter when I made these, I topped them with a chocolate glaze, but I don't remember how I made it. I'll have to dig through my recipes to see if I wrote it down.
The recipe makes about 8 doughnut hole sized treats. I ate them all, but I think the carb count is no more than 2 or 3 for the whole batch.

Those subs on the dough-nots look good. I love doughnuts and they have been my downfall on occasion. Another good reason to buy a deep fryer. These and wings

Those directions above are from my earlier post. You don't even need a deep fryer to make these. I just use my smallest saucepan with about an inch of oil in it. I have a deep fryer that I do use for wings, but these cook up so quickly, that I don't bother to get the fryer out. They are really yummy!
One other note as I reread my directions; I now beat the egg white till white, with soft peaks. I think it makes for sturdier dough-nots. The original directions called for just beating till frothy, but the batter will be runnier, and they don't puff up as well.

Reading thru all these posts I had made a bookmark for Blaine's Low-Carb Kitchen on FitTv. He has some great sounding recipes but I have a question about this one:

Gnocchi:

1/3 cup soy flour - sifted
1/4 cup wheat flour - sifted
1 cup parmesan cheese -grated
3 egg yolks
1 tsp. fresh nutmeg - grated
1 cup ricotta cheese - drained

Gnocchi Preparation: (80-90 Gnocchi Dumplings = 6 Servings - approx. 6.5 net carbs per serving):

Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Take teaspoon of dough and shape into small dumpling making sure to keep hands wet with bowl of cold water nearby. Place dumplings onto wax paper and make indentation with back of fork. (Tip: use your opposite hand when making fork indentations to make sure gnocchi does not stick to fork.) When complete, put small batches of gnocchi into gently boiling water. When gnocchi floats to top of water let cook 30 seconds more. Strain with cold water, drain well and let cool. Cover in 2 tbsp. olive oil so they do not stick.

I want to replace the soy & wheat flour with CarbQuik but does anyone with more experience know if I should add anything else like baking powder, baking soda, etc?

I love gnocchi and this with a little butter, parmesan cheese and side salad would be a great dinner!

Thanks!

I think it's worth a try using the CarbQuik. Since this is not a dish where you want the dough to rise there would be no need to add any additional ingredients into the mix. Let us know how it tastes....I'd love to make some frech gnocchi! I usually like to sub drained and finely processed cottage cheese for the ricotta...less carbs and calories. I wonder if that would work?

Which page was the vanilla cake recipe on? I just can't seem to find it!

I'm getting my carbquik soon and the Lorann bakery flavor oils, so I want to try them out!

Thanks!

I think I'll go ahead and use the ricotta first (tomorrow night's dinner as I forgot to get the ricotta cheese today... ) since I'll be subbing with CQ. I'm almost afraid to substitute two ingredients at first. Then next time I'll use the cottage cheese. Either way, I'll let you know how it turns out.

this one?

LINDASUE'S EASY GOLDEN CARBQUIK CAKE

1 1/2 cups Carbquik
1/2 cup granular Splenda or 3/4 teaspoon liquid Splenda
1 egg
1/2 cup Carb Countdown whole milk
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat all ingredients on low speed with electric mixer 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes. Spread in greased 8x8" square or 9" round cake pan. Bake at 350ยบ 25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Makes 9 servings

With granular Splenda:
Per Serving: 127 Calories; 10g Fat; 5g Protein; 12g Carbohydrate; 8g Dietary Fiber; 4g Net Carbs

With liquid Splenda:
Per Serving: 122 Calories; 10g Fat; 5g Protein; 10g Carbohydrate; 8g Dietary Fiber; 2g Net Carbs

This came from an old Bisquick cookbook and was called Velvet Crumb Cake. I was afraid someone might think that it's a crumb cake with a crumb topping, so I've renamed it. After hearing how some Carbquik recipes turn out dry, I added an extra 2 tablespoons of butter. Actually, the recipe called for shortening, but I used butter instead. Mine took 5-10 minutes less time to bake than the original recipe stated too, but then I used a dark nonstick pan.

The batter is almost as stiff as a soft cookie dough, but it's been so many years since I made the Bisquick version that I don't remember if that batter was also thick. This makes a very dense cake, almost the texture of pound cake. I detect a slight Carbquik aftertaste, but it's not too bad. I plan to serve it topped with strawberries and whipped cream tonight so I don't think that will be a problem at all. It's just not that great plain. The flavor of the
