Karen, on another recipe site that I belong to somebody posted a recipe that was supposed to be low carb. However, it contained a whole cup of ground almonds which removed it from the realm of the truly low carb goody! The recipie was delicious and we would like to alter it to make it lower carb. What is the lowest filler type of ingredient that would work in the following recipe?

TIM'S PUDDING TOAST
from Tim Buck
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup of ground almonds
1/3 cup Splenda
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a Pyrex bowl, melt butter, whisk in the egg, vanilla and then beat in the cream until well mixed. mix in the ground almonds, Splenda, soad, cinnamon and salt. Scrape the sides of the bowl down and microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Remove pudding from microwave, turn onto a plate and return to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
This can be toasted just like bread. Makes 2 servings.

This is absolutely delicious! I doubled the eggs to 2 and separated them and substituted 4 Tablespoons of flaxseed meal for the almonds. Beat the egg whites firm (added 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar) and then folded the white into the remainder of the ingredients. It has a comparable texture and flavor, but is too time consuming to make. Is there a better substitution you can recommend?
