Low Carb Recipes.........

I know there are tons of recipes out there that claim to be low carb and many that really are.  I have tried a few of the recipes and will share the ones that are a hit with my and my family.


The most popular recipe in my house right now is one for low carb pound cake.  I have made this recipe twice and both times it turned out yummy.  The first time I poured the batter into a bread pan and made a loaf.  The second time I used mini muffin tins and they came out like little bite size muffins. (my daughter loves these).

Here is the recipe that I used......


1 1/4 c.    Almond Flour
3/4 c.       Swerve or other sugar substitute
1 tsp        Baking powder
1/4 tsp     Salt
4              Eggs
3 1/2 oz   Cream Cheese
4 tbs        Softened Butter
1 tsp        Vanilla


Preheat over to 350 degrees


In mixing bowl beat butter and swerve until well combined.  Add cream cheese and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, continuing to combine. Add vanilla. When mixed well slowly start adding the dry ingredients until very well combined. 

Spray loaf pan (or whatever pan you use) with non stick spray.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.  (my oven cooks a little faster so you may have to adjust your time)

The carb count for this is about 2g of carbs per mini muffin.


My next recipe that I have found that I like is one for Cloud Bread. 

Cloud Bread

My mom didn't like it and said that it was like eating meringue, but I thought is was pretty good.
