Very Low-Carb Hamburger Bun!

Very Low-Carb Hamburger Bun!. Photo by Peachie Keene

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1/2 pinch salt
1 extra large egg
4 tablespoons flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Method:
Mix all ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl or container.

Put the bowl/container in the microwave and nuke for 1 minute or until center is set.

It will billow up in the bowl.

Leave it in the bowl for another minute then turn it out on a cooling rack and let it cool.

Once it has cooled take a long bread knife and slice the bun in half and make your hamburger as usual.

Low Carb Flaxseed Bread


Ingredients:
2 cups flax seed
5 egg whites
2 whole eggs
5 tablespoons flax oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3 packets Stevia

Method:
Mix all dry ingredients then add the wet. Whisk together and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. This recipe can also be made into muffins: divide batter into muffin pans and bake for about 10-15 minutes.

A sweet chocolate bread can be made by adding Capella Flavor Drops. Some other awesome additions are pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and protein powder flavor of choice. Great topped with almond or peanut butter!

Carb Free Cloud Bread

Photo

Ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener

Method:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.

In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.

In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.

Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.

Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.

With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).

Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).

Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.

While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a Tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
