You will find below all the Atkins Recipes! Please read the tips
first! Enjoy! Helpful tips If you don't have all the sweeteners, use any sweetener you have to taste. Mixing different sweeteners intensifies the sweetening effect, and requires a lesser amount of the sweetener. Always start with the equivalent of 2 tbsp and add until sweet enough for you. For cooking with sugar substitutes, refer to the company of the particular sugar substitute you want to use. Most products have a toll free number to call for more information. Always bake in preheated oven, be careful not to over bake, I check with a toothpick that it comes out clean (dry). Use plastic,(not for baking) wax-paper, parchment paper, butter or pam – type sprays to line your baking pan. Baking pan is your choice; bread loaf pan works well, but also the square and rectangular pans work great too. Most recipes get very stiff, it is best to use your hands to knead the mixture really well making sure the powder gets dissolved in. It may also be helpful to put some butter on your hands to help press it firmly into the pan. Always chill or let cool before cutting into bars, unless otherwise stated. Store bars in airtight containers, they may also be frozen. Store the syrups in airtight containers in the refridgerater. I have done my best to provide accurate carb counts. Which Protein Powder to use? It's best to use the "scoop" that comes with the package, but in case it's lost or you buy bulk, this is approx. 1/3 of a cup. Protein powders are pretty much interchangeable. Keep in mind, though, that carb and protein counts vary by brand and flavor, so your end result may differ from the original recipe. It is your personal preference to taste as to which powder and brand you use. Can be found in most grocery stores, or a health food store. Soy powder (also called soya) powder and soy flour are both made from soybeans. Both contain protein and some carbohydrate and are appropriate for doing Atkins. Soy powder is ground finer than soy flour therefore works better in shakes: soy flour used for baking, is denser than soy powder and therefore has more carbs. Soy protein isolate as the name implies, separates the protein from the carbohydrate content of the soybean, making it lower in carbs than soy flour or soy powder. Protein powder is a source of pure protein, usually an egg protein or vegetable-based protein powder. Keep in mind that many protein powders contain certain carb-laden fillers and hidden sugars. Make sure you read the label to check carbohydrate and sugar content. Whey protein isolate is considered the highest quality protein available in terms of the body's ability to utilize it. It is extremely low in carbohydrate, high in protein and contains virtually no fat. It has also been shown to possess immune-boosting capabilities by increasing the body's cellular levels of glutathione, an important anti-oxidant. Lecithin Derived from soy beans or egg yolks, nutrient-rich lecithin is a wonder ingredient. It's used in cooking as an emulsifier, preservative, lubricant, and moisturizer. It's a healthful substitute for fat in baked goods, adding moisture and improving texture. Bakers use it as a dough enhancer because it helps give yeast breads more of a rise. It comes either granulated or as a liquid and can be found in health food stores. Substitutes: vegetable oil (In bread recipes, substitute this for lecithin measure for measure.) guar gum This thickener is very popular among people with gluten allergies. Look for it in health food stores. It clumps easily so add slowly. Substitutes: Xanthan gum (Substitute an equal amount of xanthan gum for guar gum. Xanthan gum is more expensive, but interchangeable with guar gum.) OR pre-gel starch Stevia This has been touted has a healthful alternative to non-nutritive artificial sweeteners. It's quite sweet, but has a bitter aftertaste. Look for it in health food stores. Substitutes: sugar OR artificial sweeteners Feel free to have fun, try other flavor combinations, wing it given whatever ingredients you have on hand.

Raspberry Juice for Syrup 1 pint fresh raspberries or frozen 1 cup cold water Place berries in a saucepan over medium low heat; add the water.Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. When cooked, pour into a cheesecloth lined container & let drain until all the liquid is out of the berries and only pulp remains.(do not squeeze the cheesecloth as the juice will be cloudy) Measure out the juice & then proceed with making a syrup. Strawberry Syrup 1 cup strawberry juice 1/3 cup Splenda 3/4 tsp guar gum Pour the juice into a small pot, over medium heat & bring to a boil.Remove from heat, whisk in the guar gum & Splenda .Return to heat & boil until thickened.

Strawberry Juice for Syrup 1 pint fresh strawberries 1 cup cold water Place berries in a saucepan over medium low heat; add water & bring to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes.Pour mixture into a cheesecloth lined container so that the juice can drip into the container. Let the fruit drip until only a "dry-like" pulp remains (do not squeeze the cheesecloth or the juice will be cloudy) Measure amount to equal 2 cups Maple Syrup 1 1/2 cup water 1 cup Splenda 2 tsp maple extract 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 3-4 tbsp butter (optional) 1/8 tsp salt 3/4 tsp. guar gum Microwave water in a 2 cup microwave safe bowl. Place in blender. Add everything else and mix until smooth. Place container into refrigerator. Heat before using. Makes 1 ½ c. syrup 1 gram carb per tablespoon 17 calories per tablespoon with butter, Without butter the calories are almost –0- .03 per tablespoon Espresso Sauce 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup finely ground espresso 1 square unsweetened chocolate 2 tsp Splenda Pinch salt 1 tsp vanilla Pour cream and espresso into a saucepan. Scald (heat to just before boiling) Remove from heat and strain. Add chocolate, vanilla, Splenda and salt. Berry Syrup 1/2 cup strawberries 2 tbsp orange juice pinch of Splenda Puree strawberries, add orange juice and sweetener. Microwave to a simmer then allow to cool before using. 2 tbsp serving is 2 gram carbs Blueberry Syrup Put about 1/4-1/2 cup of frozen blueberries in a small saucepan. Heat the berries slowly,until you have a good amount of warm juice in the pan. Serve warm over pancakes with butter. Bake Mix Pancakes 1/2 cup of bake mix 2 eggs 1/3 cup soda water 1 tbsp heavy cream 1/4 tsp salt oil for the skillet Mix all ingredients until batter is smooth. Cook up pancakes on hot griddle brushed with oil. Zucchini Breakfast Pancakes 1 cup shredded zucchini 3 tbsp Atkins bake mix or soy or oat flour (adjust carbs) 2 packets Splenda 2 oz heavy cream 1/4 cup water dash salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 large egg -slightly beaten oil or butter for skillet Mix all ingredients. Heat skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to prevent sticking. Pour in a small amount of batter and flatten into a 3 -4" circle. Let brown on one side (about 1 minute) then flip and brown on other side and cook through. Makes about 10 pancakes at about 1g each. Bake Mix Muffins 2/3 cup Atkins Bake Mix 4oz cream cheese 6-8 packets Splenda 2 eggs 1 tbsp extract - coconut, almond, banana, cinnamon, whatever you prefer. Soften cream cheese in microwave for about one minute. Add remaining ingredients, mix well by hand. Spoon into muffin tin sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. You can also use this batter as pancake mix, adding blueberries and using vanilla extract. Bake Mix Muffins 2 1/2 cup Bake Mix 3 eggs 2 tbsp melted butter 2 tbsp sour cream Mix all ingredients together. Pour into muffin tray. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Makes six muffins. Serve hot from the oven with butter or cream cheese. You could probably add some blueberries and sweetener and get a decent tasting blueberry muffin, too. Fluffy Cinnamon Muffins 4 eggs 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 1/4 cup cottage cheese 2 tbsp soy flour or Atkins bake mix 1 tbsp Splenda 1/2tsp cinnamon 1 more tbsp Splenda 1/2 tsp more cinnamon 4 tbsp softened butter Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 300. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Set aside. Mix cottage cheese, egg yolks, 1 tbsp Splenda and 1/2 tsp cinnamon until well blended. Add soy flour / baking mix and blend well. Gently fold into egg whites and spoon into muffin tins - makes 8-10. Bake at 300 until lightly browned and springs back when touched -about 25 minutes. Mix butter, Splenda and cinnamon well. When muffins are done and cooled slightly, spread the butter mixture over each one. You could make a cream cheese frosting (cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla and some cream -beaten well) and bake this in a small loaf pan and have a cinnamon coffee cake out of it. This whole recipe is 11 g, 2g fiber - so about 1g per muffin. Pumpkin Muffins 2/3 cup Atkins bake mix 1/2 cup of pumpkin 2 eggs lightly beaten 1 tbsp oil 1/4 cup flax seed 1/3 - 1/2 cup Splenda 2-3 tbsp cream 1/4 cup chopped pecans 1 tbsp cinnamon 1/4 tbsp nutmeg 1/8 tbsp allspice or cloves 1/8 tbsp ginger Mix all ingredients well. If too thick, add a little water. (This mixture should be pretty thick though, or they will turn out sort of mushy on the inside). Pour into muffin pan sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. After fiber, I have that these come to about 3.5 grams of carbs per muffin. They are pretty big muffins though. Chocolate Fudge Muffins 1/3 cup almond flour 1/3 cup Atkins bake mix 1/8 cup flax meal 1/3 cup splenda 1 tbsp brown sugar twin 1/2 package cream cheese 1 tbsp cocoa powder 1 square unsweetened baking chocolate 1 tbsp butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs chopped nuts (optional) Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute. In separate bowl melt chocolate and butter. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese, add eggs and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. Add all other ingredients. Mixture should be thick, but if too thick, just add a little water. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Makes 6 muffins, at 4.5 carbs each. Cranberry Orange Nut Muffins 1/3 cup almond flour 1/3 cups Atkins bake mix 1/8 cup flax meal 1 tbsp brown sugar twin 1/3 cup Splenda 2 eggs 1/2 package cream cheese 1 tbsp orange extract 1 - 2 tsp finely chopped dried cranberries (I used dried tart cherries, as they are slightly lower in carbs) Heat cream cheese for 1 minute in microwave. Add eggs and extract. Add all other ingredients. Again, add a little water if too thick. Bake in sprayed muffin pan for 20-25 minutes at 350. Makes 6 good size muffins. (I have a carb count of 4.5) http://www.geocities.com/dietsplus |
