Low Carb Round Things (faux English Muffins)

I tried these and they do make a round base for the things you might want to eat on an English muffin.
The texture of almond and coconut flour is too grainy - and I will research ways to make or buy finer fake flour. It was not too eggy. It was a little bit moist. Toasting it helped. I put some no-sugar-added fruit jam on top and it was an adequate substitute. I imagine it would grow on a person if they were committed to giving up carbs. IMHO what is always missing in fake breads is the chewy texture.
I would make this again because it was fast, easy and not difficult to clean up.

My ramekin was the one that is s bit larger than 4-in when measured on the inside of the rim.
The cooking time for me was 1 min in the microwave - and might have needed a bit more - to make it a bit drier.
I did not have any nut milk on hand so I used whole milk.
I think a variation with lemon zest would be yummy if you like lemon.
Maybe a lemon - poppy seed hybrid faux-breadlike thing.

Recipe Notes

I made these low carb English muffins in a mug with a diameter of 7 cm. ****Update - I have since made them in classic ramekins like these with a 9 cm diameter which makes them a bit flatter but still tall/high enough to cut in half.

If you make 2 muffins at the same time, increase the microwave time to 2 minutes.

Course Breakfast

Cuisine British

Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 8 minutes

Servings 6

Calories 103 kcal

Author Katrin

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 4 egg whites
• 2 tbsp psyllium husk or 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
• 4 tbsp cream cheese full fat
• butter for frying

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients with a stick blender or in a food processor/power blender. Your batter will be very liquid.
2. Heat some butter in a non-stick pan, pour in some batter and swirl it around until it is evenly distributed.
3. Fry on a medium heat until the top has firmed up. Flip over and fry the other side.
4. Continue until all batter is used up.

Recipe Notes

1. I used this crepe pan - it has a diameter of 20 cm. If your non stick pan is smaller, you could easily get eight crepes with your batter.

2. The crepes taste good as is, but if you like, you could add 5 drops of stevia glycerite and vanilla/cinnamon to complement sweet fillings or add a pinch of salt/onion powder/garlic/paprika for savoury ones.

3. Check the texture of your psyllium husk! The individual husk pieces are small, but not completely powdered - like tiny sticks. If your psyllium husk has the texture of icing sugar (or indeed is called "psyllium husk powder"), halve the amount stated in the recipe.

Calories 94 kcal

Author Katrin

Ingredients

• 175 g shredded mozzarella (see notes!) (1 1/2 cups)
• 80 g almond flour (extra fine) (3/4 cup)
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 egg room temperature
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the filling:

• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp Sukrin Gold or another granulated sweetener
• 2 tsp cinnamon

For the frosting:

• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 tbsp greek/full fat yoghurt
• 2 drops vanilla stevia

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 Celsius/360 Fahrenheit.
2. Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in a non-stick pot over a low heat or in a microwave (1 1/2 minutes, stirring half way through). Take off the stove and/or make sure the cheese is melted, but not bubbling.
3. Stir in the egg.
4. Now add the almond flour and baking powder. Start to combine using a fork, then use your hands to make a ball of smooth dough. This can be easier if you lightly oil your hands first.
5. Divide the dough into 6 balls of ca 50g each.
6. Form long rolls (ca 40cm), then flatten out with your hands. Make the dough as thin as you can.
7. Prepare your cinnamon filling: boil water, then stir in the sweetener and cinnamon.
8. Spread the cinnamon paste over the flattened dough rolls.
9. Roll each into a bun and cut sideways in half.
10. Now you have 12 buns which you place on a non-stick baking sheet or in a pie dish.
11. Bake for ca 20 minutes.
12. While the rolls are in the oven, prepare the frosting: Mix cream cheese, yoghurt and stevia.
13. Spread over the warm rolls and serve

Recipe Notes

This recipe works best with pre-shredded mozzarella from the supermarket. Fresh mozzarella contains too much liquid and is too runny.

The dough is a bit tricky to work with. Do oil your hands if you find it too sticky. If it cools down too much, just warm it back up to make it easier to handle.

Don't be fooled by the size of the rolls - they may be small, but are quite filling! I would recommend using Sukrin Gold to make the filling - it has a taste very similar to brown sugar that works great with cinnamon.

You can use butter instead of the water, which gives the rolls a nice buttery taste. I made a few using butter, then decided to just dissolve the sweetener in water as the rolls are very high in fat already. The choice is yours!

If you do not have vanilla-flavoured stevia, you could add a bit of vanilla extract to your frosting.

Soups

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL SOUP

 all the great flavors of traditional cabbage rolls, without all the fuss.  

MY CHANGES ARE IN ALL CAPS - WHICH I MADE ON THE FIRST TRY AND LIKE IT JUST FINE WITH MY CHANGES.

PROBABLY WON'T EVEN TRY THE ORIGINAL RECIPE - I WAS MISSING A LOT OF THE INGREDIENTS - BUT WANTED TO TRY A SLIGHTLY EASIER VERSION

Ingredients

• 1 lb. extra lean ground beef I used 96% lean - OR NOT LEAN AND ADD 1/3 LB GROUND PORK

• 1 medium yellow onion chopped

• 3 garlic cloves minced

• 5 cups chopped green cabbage about half of a medium sized head

• 4 cups 32 oz. low-sodium beef broth - OPTIONAL - I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SO JUST USED WATER AND IT WAS FINE

I ONLY USED ENOUGH WATER TO NEARLY COVER THE CABBAGE

• 3 cups tomato sauce (24 oz.) LARGE CAN FIRE ROASTED TOMATOES

• 1 cup shredded carrots - OPTIONAL - I DID NOT USE THEM

• 1/2 cup uncooked white or brown long grain rice - OPTIONAL - BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD - IF YOU LIKE RICE

• 2 dried bay leaves

• 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar --ONLY 1 TBSP

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves

• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

• 1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice  - ESSENTIAL

I ADDED A FEW SHAKES OF WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE

Instructions

1. In a large soup pot, add the beef and place over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the onion. Cook about 8 minutes until the beef is brown, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the garlic. Stir and cook 1 minute.

3. Add the cabbage, beef broth, tomato sauce, carrots, rice, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt, oregano, and pepper.

4. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook until rice is tender (25 minutes for white rice and 45 minutes for brown rice).

5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice. Let the soup rest uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken up before serving. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
