Re: Week 1 down

Thank you, the cream cheese is marked on the wrapper so I'll eyeball it. Might make these today. They just look so good!

Re: Week 1 down

I like a nice flax meal muffin - just discovered this recipe and its SOOOO good. It's induction friendly and on the Atkins board listed as MIM. Takes about one minute to throw together and another to cook in a mug. I take it out, slice it and toast it or butter it or put cream cheese on it. Lots of options. If you use Davinci or Torani syrup w/splenda the carbs are less than the packets in the ingredients list.

Here's a link: The Atkins Community

This was approved by the Atkins nutritionist but not sure about if its considered acceptable via DANDR standards. Anyone know?

Here's the full recipe:

Muffin in a Minute

allowed on Induction

Serving Size: 1

1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.64 net carbs)
1 packet splenda packet (0.9 net carbs)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (1.84 total carbs, 1.2 fiber)
1 large egg (0.6 net carbs)
1 teaspoon butter

(total carbs is 12.07, fiber is 8.8; net carbs is 3.27)

Put the dry ingredients in a coffee mug.

Stir.

Then add the egg and the butter. Mix.

Microwave 1 minute (or more). Take out. slice, butter, eat.

Cream cheese would go nicely, too.

The shape of this can be changed by making it in a bowl.

It can be "toasted" once it's cooked.

The cinnamon can be replaced. I would imagine that any sugar free syrup could be added.

Some people count the flax as a carb/fiber wash, so then the net carbs would be 2.78.

Re: Week 1 down

I tried the quiche/cheesecake/bacon muffin things. They turned out really pretty. But basically they just taste like bacon, egg and cheese. I don't think I'll be making them again, although they were pretty good.

I also tried a pumkin eggnog shake tonight. Again not bad but doesn't make me want it again.

Posting the recipe is fine - except that to eat 4 tablespoons of ground flax (linseed outside USA) is pushing the 'constipation' amount given by Dr Atkins for adding flax/psyllium husk/bran in induction to at least double the recommended amount!

He suggested adding one tablespoon, not 4.

So on induction maybe make 2 muffins from that recipe or cut it in half and eat only one half

BTW you can also make a sort of 'wrap' from that recipe too by spreading it out on a plate or wide dish.

If it is a 'bread' you are looking for you could always make one from the revolution roll recipe instead. I make a third of the full recipe into a 'muffin' or 'wrap' and as it has only induction-legal ingredients you could eat more than one if you like. To make a sweet version justleave out the salt and add some sweetener or sugarfree syrup

Single revolution roll or wrap
Separate one large egg and whip the white with a large pinch of cream of tartar till really stiff (so if turned upside down it doesn't move).
Mix the yolk with one tablespoon of mayonnaise or cream cheese and a pinch of salt then fold it into the egg white mixture.
Pile into a roll shape on a silicone mat or a greased plate or put into a greased mug or similar microwaveable small dish, or spread out on a greased plate to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Microwave for a minute or so till firm.
This can also be oven baked but will not have such a 'breadlike' consistency.
