Has anyone found (or experimented) with a low cost substitute for Atkins bake mix for baked goods? Was wondering if soy flour could be used? Thanks.

Soy flour isn't something I would use..since it has a strong flavor I detest..and even the small amount in the bake mix makes it nasty to me!

Personally, I prefer to use almond flour. I got teh "Low Carb Comfort Food" cookbook, and so far, all teh recipes I've tried using it are great.

Here are some ideas:

Soy Bake Mix - Better than Atkin's Mix so they say?
2 cups soy powder
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 tablespoon bakeable sugar subst. like Splenda
1/3 cup shortening cut in with pastry tool
equals 3 gr 1/3 cup
Here is the recipe that you can make yourself to substitute for the Atkins Bake Mix. I haven't tried it yet. but the people on the list I got this from said it was better than the Atkin's Mix. If anyone tries it please let all of us know how it cames out.

are there any substitutes that don't use soy?

I picked up this sheet from the health food store the other day. At the bottom of the recipe they give some substitutions for soy that gives a milder flavour.
I haven't tried it yet, as I'm still on induction. Let me know what it is like.

FAUX ATKINS BAKE MIX
1 cup soy flour
2 cups soy protein isolate
2 Tbsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. Splenda

Sift together, then store + use as you would Dr. Atkins. It's much cheaper, and things turn out better.

***** If you want a milder taste:

Substitute soy powder for the soy flour
Substitute egg protein for soy isolate

Here's a couple I found at low carb web sites.I only bought one can of overpriced Atkins bake mix and now make my own.
No Soy Bake Mix
1 c almond meal ( Process almonds in your food processor if you can't find it at a bulk food store)
1 c wheat gluten
1 c whey protein

1/2 tsp salt
Makes 3 cups- 53.2 carbs total

Soy Free Bake Mix

Don't have carb count on this one.
