Why not make it with a carbquik crust?

I am going to try that today. I had no luck with the roll-out CQ pie crust so I will try the pat-in-the-pan today. I really liked the flavor (as did the DH) of the almond crust ...but it wasn't as pretty.

[ClikChik]

Well, I didn't have any luck with the pat-in-the-pan CQ pie crust for my Pecan Pie.

I made the crust: 1 cup CQ, 1/2 cup hazelnut flour and 1/4 cup softened butter. Patted down in the pan (even stuck it in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up), then made the pecan pie and poured in and baked as directed in the above recipe. When we cut the pie last night, it was more like a cake. The crust had soaked up all the mixture and blended together.

The taste was really good but it didnt "look" like a pecan pie...more like Aunt Ruth's Pecan Cake which we enjoyed also!

Same thing happened when I made the pat-in-pan crust for my pumpkin pie. No complaints, though, it was fantastic!

I made the cranberry muffins from recipe at the Ocean Spray web site, substituting Carbquik for flour and Splenda for sugar. They came out beautifully. You can probably modify the recipe to add some orange zest or flavoring:

[Aediekins]

What about a "plain" muffin Recipe? So I can just use the base recipe and make banana nut (with banana extract) or Blueberry or even maple. Anyone got one?

[kcduffer]

I think that the recipe at the ocean spray site referred to before minus the cranberries would be a good basic muffin recipe. I'm going to give it a try.

[Aediekins]

I use this chart all the time to get carb counts for recipes. Just wanted to share...


Net Carbs/ Measurement
1 - ½ oz. 1 Tablespoons
2 - 1 oz. 1/8 cup (2 Tablespoons)
4 - 2 oz. 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons )
5.25 - 2.75 oz 1/3 cup (5 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon)
6 - 3 oz. 6 Tablespoons
8 - 4 oz. 1/2 cup (8 Tablespoons)
10 - 5 oz. 10 Tablespoons
10.5 - 5.5 oz 2/3 cup (10 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons)
12 - 6 oz. ¾ cup (12 Tablespoons)
16 - 8 oz. 1 cup (16 Tablespoons)
32 - 1 lb 2 cups

A question, please.
I am under the impression that appox. 4 ozs, by weight, equals 1 cup. Therefore, I don't quite understand your chart. Can you help me, here? This may be deceiving to those who measure by weight and not by amount.

[Aediekins]

I just made these and they are very good!!

1 2/3 cup CQ
1 Tbls Splenda
1/2 cup low-carb milk (or 1/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup water)
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 cup brown sugar substitute
(I used 1/4 cup Splenda and 1/2 Tbls Molasses mashed with the back of a spoon until well mixed)
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup nuts (Optional)

In a bowl combine CQ, 1 Tbls Splenda and milk until moist. Let it sit for a minute. Stir again until well combined. Sprinkle some Carbquik on a kneading surface and turn dough onto surface.

Knead for approx. 3-4 minutes. Add more carbquik if necessary to keep dough from sticking.

Roll into a rectangle shape. (It helped me to roll only in one direction instead of back and forth.)

Spread butter over entire rectangle, then sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar substitute.

Roll up lengthwise and slice into 6-8 rolls.

Bake at 400 degreees for 20 minutes. Spread icing over top and serve warm!

Icing-

1/4 block of cream cheese
1/3 cup UNSALTED Butter
3/4 cup Splenda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip on high speed for 2 minutes

I checked the conversion amounts at two different sites. And I've always used 8 oz. for 1 cup. So, I don't know, I'll have to look into it.

However, I did post the conversion chart on the other thread and the Tove rep informed me that 1 cup is only 12 carbs. I based the whole thing on the 1 oz is 2 net carbs. But they rounded it up to get 2.

Also, they re-formulated it (The new stuff is in the 3 lb bag) and so there are even less carbs.

So the Tova Rep is currently working on a chart similar to the one I made. But it will be correct.

So sorry for the confusion guys!!!

[Aediekins]

I made the "Dough-nots" today! YUM!!! I actually poured the batter slowly in the hot oil, right out of the bowl. I fell apart a little when I tried to turn if over, but event he little bits that fell off were de-lish!!!!

And I didn't even sprinkle anything on it!

[nawthwoodshuntress]

I took a recipe I had made up myself from my pre-low carb days that I remembered was absolutely devastatingly delicious and wanted to convert it to low carb. This came out fantastic, almost as good as the high carb version. I apologize to you all, though, I don't have any carb counts for this. Maybe someone would be kind enough to plug it into their Mastercook or something. I have only made this with a low carb homemade cranberry sauce and have not tried it with the cherry pie filling, but I will be trying that version soon. If anyone else does try it, please let me know how it turned out.

Dawn’s Cranberry(or Cherry) Almond Coffee Cake


1 ½ c. whole cranberry sauce or sugar free canned cherry pie filling
1 2/3 c. Carbquik
1 ½ tsp. Baking powder
¾ c. sugar substitute (I used 2 tsp. Liquid Sweet N Low plus ½ c. xylitol)
½ c. shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp. Almond extract
½ c. Hoods milk

TOPPING: ½ c. almond flour, ¼ c. equivalent brown sugar substitute (I used 2 tsp. Sweet N Low brown), ¼ c. melted butter, ¼ c. sliced almonds, 1 tsp. Cinnamon.


Directions:
Combine Carbquik and baking powder in a small bowl; set aside. Cream ¾ c. sugar sub, shortening, eggs, and almond extract in a large bowl. Add the Carbquik mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix well, then add milk, and continue mixing until it forms a batter.

Spread half the batter in a well greased 9 inch square pan. Spread cranberry sauce (or cherry) over batter. Spread remaining batter over cranberry sauce. Blend topping and put over all.

Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes.

[Aediekins]

Sounds great! I will try this soon. Thank you for sharing.

I was wondering if this came out like bread or more like cake?

In answer to your question: it is definitely cake. I ate it all week and found it didn't get dry. Of course, I refrigerated it. I heated it in the micro for about 30 seconds and put whipped cream on top. It was heavenly!

[HeatherJanet]

Here are my counts for Dawn's Almond Coffee Cake, based on 9 servings, using cherry pie filling (Lucky Leaf Lite No Sugar Added) and granular Splenda. This is only approximate, since it all depends on how you enter items such as Carbquik in MasterCook.

Jello Cake

Serving Size : 15

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups carbquik -- loosely filled measure, do not tap or pack
1 cup splenda
1 package gelatin powder with aspartame -- flavor of your choice (SF/FF Jello)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup shortening -- I used butter flavored Crisco
1 cup carb countdown 2% milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs

Glaze:
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup splenda -- processed in food processor to make powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 350*.
2. Mix dry ingredients
3. Add shortening, milk and vanilla.
4. Beat on med for 2 minutes.
5. Add eggs and beat for 30 seconds more.
6. Bake in greased 13x9 pan for 35 minutes, or until pick comes out clean

Let cool about 15 minutes, then poke holes in cake with fork and pour glaze over the top. Then chill. This would also be good with whipped cream. (But then what isn't)


I used the yellow cake recipe from Chefgreg as the basis of this recipe. I just made a couple of additions and changes and it's really good.

Please remember do not tap or pack the Carbquik. If the batter is stiff, add water 1 tablespoon at a time till it is the consitency of a typical cake batter.
I added quite a bit more water, but I still added it just a little at a time til I thought it was the right consistency. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I just made this..it is wonderful..I adapted the recipe from my BH and Garden Cookbook..replaced the CQ with the flour and added
some almond stuff..

Here ya go:

Sour Cream Almond Pound Cake
Preheat oven to 325

Bring 1/2 stick of butter, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup sour cream to
room temperature. In a medium bowl combine 1 1/2 cups
Carbquik, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1/8 tsp. baking soda.

In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds.
Add 1 cup Splenda (I used liquid), 2 Tbs. vanilla Davincis, 1 tsp.
vanilla, 3/4 tsp. almond extract and beat until all mixed up. Add
eggs: one at a time, beating for a minute after each one, and
scraping down the bowl.

Add flour/nut mixture and sour cream alternately, beating on low to medium speed after each addition, just until combined. Pour
into Pammed 8 x 4 x 2 inch pan or a 9 x 5 x 3 inch pan..(a loaf pan).

Bake 35-45 minutes until tester comes out clean. Cool on a rack
for 10 minutes..

Approximate counts: 1/10th of this: 180 calories and less than
2 carbs..

[lgpars]

Carolyn, did you grind the sliced almonds into flour or put them in sliced? This cake sounds so good.

Carbquik Cranberry Orange Flax Muffins

Thanks to sjl330, Dobie and others for the inspiration

2 cups Carbquik
2 scoops Chocolate Designer Protein
1 cup flaxmeal
1 cup heat stable sweetener (I used 2/3 c. Splenda, 1/3 (scant) xylitol, 1 pkg. Stevia Plus)
1 package orange sugar free Jello
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup butter or shortening
1 cup Hoods milk
1 cup DaVinci’s syrup (I used vanilla)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup pumpkin seed (I used Pumpkorn)
½ package cranberries (mine were frozen)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 24 muffin tins with butter flavored Pam.

Mix slightly until all moistened all ingredients except seeds and berries. Stir in seeds and berries. Spoon into muffin tins.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25--30 minutes.

I can see changing flavor of Jello, flavor of syrup, protein, flavoring, nuts, and berries.

Like Lemon with blueberries! (vanilla protein)

Strawberry with chopped strawberries!

Chocolate all around (orange Jello? Cherry Jello?)

[magnamater]

No, I am woefully pitiful at calculations, but they still have to be low--makes 24! Maybe someone with mastercook can drop it in and calculate.

I have been eating on these--pull out 2, one for DH, one for me for breakfast, along with a sausage cheese casserole made with carbquik, I may post that recipe next--also makes 12 huge servings--and I only cook once every 6 days!

[KellyMarie38]

Printing this out! Sounds good!

Made the biscuits with carbquik and dh likes them. I am off to buy a pizza pan so he can make homemade pizza for the kids using the carbquik.

I've tweaked the corn bread a little bit using some of the new products that I've just gotten from the Sweet City. I cut the splenda, substituted corn bran for the corn meal, and since I didn't want it to be too dry, I added some polydextrose. It really turned out yummy and had a nice texture.

Here's my recipe:

2 cups Carb quik
6 tablespoons corn bran
1 tablespoon polydextrose
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon liquid splenda
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup carb countdown milk
1/2 cup butter, melted

1. Mix all ingredients.

2. Bake 400 degree for 20 minutes in un-greased 8X8 pan.

Per Serving: 205 Calories; 18g Fat (67.6% calories from fat); 6g Protein; 13g Carbohydrate; 11g Dietary Fiber; 83mg Cholesterol; 249mg Sodium. Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 3 Fat.

This was figured with 1 oz Carbquik having 2 net carbs. You can debate whether or not this is right, but that's what I used from the box. Right or not, it's probably pretty close.

[Charski]

KCD, how many servings did you get from this?

It sounds great, and I'm nearly convinced now to get the polydextrose!

And where did you buy the corn bran??

Thanks!

Char

[kcduffer]

Char, I made this in an 8X8 pan, and got 9 generous squares from it. I may make muffins or muffin tops next time.

[Jaideyes]

I printed your tweaked recipe, thanks kcd! I'm off to that site to order some more "special stuff" as well, you can use the discount code ADBB when checking out and even save a bit more.
