| Ingredients for low carb baking |
I’ve been working this basic recipe for a while now. Read more – here. I’ve got it waxed and it works perfectly. I can vary the flavourings. This mixture makes either cake, bread or muffins.
They always turn out perfectly. And the best bit is the resultant food is sooo filling. One or two slices of this cake for breakfast and I’m full all morning.
The original recipe comes from – Colette Heimowitz – Atkins cookbook.
Below is my slightly modified version of the basic recipe. You have to add your preferred flavours as the basic recipe has no taste.
