thank you NancyLC! Lemon Butter "Bowl-Muffin" Cake
I have been truly inspired by this whole Bowl-Muffin thing, it's TOO much fun and also nicely quick and easy (I'm back in school fulltime and classes START at 7:30 a.m., yuck!).
So I've read every single post and experiment, and I've been playing with this, trying out different stuff inspired by you all, and especially YOU, NancyLC :lol: The Chicken & Sage was kinda cool, I liked the whole Bacon Egg McBowlMuffin thing, too. One thing I HAVE learned is that most of these (if without egg especially, they get a little dry) taste best while still warm. Preferably BUTTERED. :lol: I haven't tried the Chocolate, that's next, but I did kind of fancy something with tang and zip today and was awfully hungry after classes, so instead of diving into the fridge, I decided to do the Lemon Thing I've been thinking about. Here's the results, and let me tell you, it's YUMMY! This would make a pretty fine base for some whipping cream and raspberries or blueberries (some kind of affinity for lemon?)... Code:

Could I add flaxmeal to this and also make it with no bacon? Kelly |

Okay, I used 1/4 cup CarbQuik 1/4 cup flax meal 1/2 cup mixture of sf vanilla syrup, heavy cream and water Nuked for 2 minutes and I will eat this every day! :) I was trying to find a way to use flax everyday and this is good. thanks for telling me about this site. (a friendly poster from another LC board helped me find this board) :thup: Kelly |
Aw shucks, IslandGirl! :) I am so glad you're having fun with them! I wish I was. My new diet doesn't allow such luxuries. However, I'll probabyl take a maintenance break for a couple of weeks at the end of the month and then... I'm going to enjoy Bowl Muffins again.
I see you're a fanatic for lemon like I am! :D Quote:
Clearly they need a little competition in the marketplace to loosen their grip! Maybe I should order more Sweetzfree before Splenda leans on them. Although, I must say it is a little too concentrated for my preferences. |
NancyLC, what a terrific concept you've come up with! I was so sceptical, but printed out your ideas and then went in the kitchen to try it out. I was sooooo impressed- whodathunk? Since then, I have mentioned it a few times on another thread and somehow ended up getting posted twice - but I thank you for a terrific idea :thup: I don't use the Carbquik, but tried it with my protein powder, baking powder and a variety of s.f. syrups - tried the omelet one and made one for hubby's breakfast one a.m. hmmm, he didn't rave, but then he isn't given to raving anyway :) Thank you again - really happy about this new idea - and it seems to have no limits-except in our imagination!

W-O-w...Thank you Nancy, for a great recipe idea! I tried a pumpkin version of this muffin, toasted, buttered... it was so delicious that if I hadn't made it myself, I wouldn't have believed it was microwave food... Loved it.

Oh YUM!
Hey, Nancy -
Okay, I keep seeing folks bump this recipe, and of course, the link is part of your signature. So, yesterday, I thought, 'what the heck - let's print it and try it.' OHMIGAWD...it's so good (not that I'm telling you anything you DON'T know. I made mine with flaxmeal and vanilla whey powder for flourish thingies. First batch was with vanilla syrup and Hood milk and a dash of cinnamon, lightly dotted with butter once cooked. Second batch was flax/whey combo mixed with carmel and chocolate syrup. BOTH WERE FABULOUS!!!! Thanks for the recipe - I just wish I hadn't waited so long to try it! :lol: |
Same here :)
I found a pancake mix version from CarbSmart and decided to use that. I bought their regular mix too. I made a bowl pancake ! 2 tablespoons pancake mix (1 net gram) 2 tablespoons cream cheese cinnamon 1 packet Splenda 2 eggs It made one nicely sized pancake and was extremely fluffy ! I just topped it with some sugar free syrup and let it soak in before I ate it. I now eat one just about everyday right before I swim. Thanks for the recipe ideas .. it literally has given me back hope that I will stay with this way of eating. |
LOL! I'm glad folks are enjoying them. I'm a little jealous because my very strict diet I'm on now, I can't eat them. Have one for me, ok?
|
omg.. thanks so much for coming up with an idea so that I dont have to throw that $15 can of Atkins vanilla bake mix out ! lmao... my frugal soul was about to have a fit over that, but couldnt find any other earthly use for it ... well.. maybe chunk it in with the mortar that the bricklayer was using on the house ???
Added a tsp of cocoa, an egg, cream and lil bit of vanilla... made a passing fair brownie Ima tell you ! Thanks again, cleverness and inventiveness like yours sure do make this lc world a lot easier to tolerate. Be well all . |
Has anybody seen this site with no carb sauces, etc?

Ok so I wanted to try this, but I couldnt find atkins bake mix or carbquick anywhere...
Instead, I went to my local health food store (since I was out of flax anyway) and found Bob's Red Mill low carb bake mix. Finally got around to trying it this morning using 1/4c bake mix, 1 tblsp flax meal (also Bob's Red Mill), a little over 1/4c raspberry syrup and an egg. Holy cow! It tasted like pancakes with strawberry syrup (odd since I used raspberry, I know... but hey...) Man the one thing I missed was going to Ihop for pancakes drown in strawberry syrup... this was the best substitute ever! Made myself a second one after I came back from the gym :) |

www.netrition.com It isn't stocked in many stores. :) |
The Bob's Red Mill Bake Mix, I've found, gives one a 'firmer' product than, for example, the flax and vanilla whey protein powder combination I was using...BUT...the carb count is several points higher. Yummy no matter which way I make it. :)
Nancy, I'm currently doing an M&E fast (too many bowl muffins?? heehee), so I'll have one for you next week when I'm done! |
and found Bob's Red Mill low carb bake mix.>>
I had never heard of this and they have it at netrition. I'll have to try it after I go through my atkins bake mixes and carbquik. lol Kelly |
