Low-Cal Muffins/Bagels


Bran muffins--dry ingredients

1 C Bobs Wheat Bran 120 cals/16 net carbs
1/4 cup golden flaxmeal (120 cals)
1/4 cup oatfiber.
1/3 cup erythritol (I make Kevin's pseudo brown sugar E)
2 scoops (2/3 c?) protein powder(200 cals) (I used vanilla)
2 tsps glucomannan powder
1 tsp ea baking powder and baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unprocessed bran fiber sprinkles (I used GG Scandinavian brand available from netrition--but All Bran or Fiber one (or none at all) would be fine
spices to taste (I used cinnamon, ginger, and pumkin pie spice)
if desired, cut up some raisins or cranberries--or could add pumpkin


Wet ingredients

1/2 cup eggbeaters (50 cals)
Caramel or any flavour Davinci's syrup (I just poured some in til it looked right--I am so bad about measuring things:blush:--probably 1/2 cup or so??)
almond milk (just til texture is right--if it looks too thick, add a little more)--classic would be buttermilk, but i did not have any--


mix and let sit a minute or so. spoon into muffin cups and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or so--do NOT overcook (protein powder dries out easily). I had to throw away my first batch because I overcooked--second batch was perfect!

around 500 cals for the whole batch. My batch made 12 muffins, so 40 cals per muffin





chocolate low carb low fat muffin:

DRY
1/4 cup oat fiber
2 Tbs Hersheys special dark cocoa (20 cals)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 or a little less cup erythritol
1 tsp glucomannan powder

blend dry ingredients

WET
1/3 cup liquid eggwhite (30)
2 Tbs davinci SF vanilla syrup
2 Tbs hersheys sf chocolate syrup (15 cals)


mix together wet and dry and microwave for about a minute. There may be a little moist stuff on top--don't microwave until entirely dry.

Im thinking about 65 calories and 2-3 carbs for the thing. I sliced it up and topped with a little more hersheys sf syrup and it was so YUM. I think adding the glucomannan powder to the dry ingredients gave it a much moister crumb than you usually get with oat fiber--and of course cocoa acts like flour most of the time.


delicious muffin cake:

2 Tbs psyllium powder (I use trader joes)
2 Tbs oat fiber
2 Tbs erythritol
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp glucomannan
1/3 cup eggbeaters
DaVinci syrup to make a batter (1/3 c?)

nuke 1 minute. really really great texture and so filling—


mini "bagel" using marcea's glucc/parm roll method:

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1tbsp glucomannan powder
1tsp baking powder
1 scoop (1/3 cup) protein powder (I use vanilla syntrax nectar)

Mix eggs and baking powder well. Slowly add in glucc while mixing until dough forms "waves". Then add protein powder. I added a bit of water to thin it out until it was a little thinner than funnel cake batter. Spray mini bundt pans, bagel, or doughnut pans and barely cover the bottom all the way around. A couple teaspoons maybe. Bake for about 20 min.

I got 14 of them with 28 calories, 0.11g carbs, no fiber.
This was my first attempt at chocolate fudge bars with Bulgarian yogurt (I cannot find greek around here) and glucomannan powder. I think it needs some tweaking but overall, very good.

26 calories and 1.63g total carbs per bar. Recipe makes 4 full bars.

One Minute Apple Muffin:

2 T oat fiber 0 cal
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t glucomannan 0 cal
1 egg white 15 cal
2 T unsweetened apple sauce or pumpkin puree (I use apple pomace leftover from our cider pressing. To reduce calories, you can juice your fruits, and use the juice on UD and the fiber left after juicing on DD) 10-15 cal
2 T almond milk, unsweetened (5 cals) or Davinci syrup of your choice 0 cal

Mix together very well, microwave for 60 seconds. 30-40 cals

Pineapple Upside-Down muffins

** the info does not include the calories from the oat fiber or glucomannan since they're 100% fiber and can not be used as fuel by the body. If you want to count them, I estimate that the calories would be about 100 cals per muffin.

Makes 6 muffins @ Per muffin: 46 cals; 20.75g carbs; 10g fiber; 1.56g protein

Ingredients

3 tbsp dry Cake Mix - Angel Food
4 tbsp Oat Fiber
1 tsp Konjac Glucomannan Powder
6 tbsp Crushed Pineapple in Juice
6 tsp Ideal brown sugar sweetener (or brown sugar of your choice)
1/4 cup Liquid Egg Whites
1/3 cup water, or more
3 cherry Marischino Cherries, chopped or halved
4 drop Ez-sweetz (this was too sweet, I suggest 2 drops)

Directions

Spray a 6 muffin tin very well with butter flavor cooking spray. Divide the pineapple, sweetener and chopped cherries evenly among the tins.
Mix the cake mix, fiber and glucomannan. Mix the liquid egg whites, 1T juice from the pineapple and liquid sweetener* with 1/3 cup water and stir into the dry ingredients. Add more water if needed to achieve a batter that is thicker than a cake batter but not stiff like a muffin batter.
Spoon evenly into the 6 tins and bake at 350f for 35 minutes or until cooked through.
Let cool 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate so any remaining liquids don't get away (lol).

*If you use something like a liquid sugar free syrup, replace the water with the same amount so you don't have too much liquid.

**Notes:
This was my first try at creating these. I think a little baking powder would improve the lightness of the batter.



 


lower oat fiber OMM:



6 T egg whites (50 calories)
1 T oat fiber
1 T Hershey's natural cocoa powder (10 calories)
1/4 C DaVinci's SF syrup (I've used banana, hazelnut, and coconut at different times--all were good)
1/4 t baking powder
1 t glucomannan powder

I've done it without the baking powder and the gluc powder and it came out fine too.

Spray the mug or bowl with Pam or similar, mix all ingredients, nuke for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes. Sometimes I take it out after 1 1/2 minutes, flip it over and put it back in for a minute

Lemon Super Low-Cal Muffin:

1/4 cup oat fiber - 0 cals
1 tsp gluc powder - 0 cals
1 tbs SF vanilla or lemon pudding mix - 5 cals
1/2 tsp SF lemon jello mix - 5 cals
1/2 tsp baking powder - 5 cals
1/4 cup egg white liquid (or could use 2 egg whites) - 25 cals
2 or 3 tbs SF Torani lemon syrup - 0 cals
A drop of Splenda if you like it really sweet
A little bit of water if needed

Mix dry ingredients together until well blended, then add egg white and syrup and stir until moist. (I do all of this in one big cappucino mug) If you are still seeing dry powder, you can add a few splashes of water as needed. Microwave on high for 1 minute to get a "cookie dough" like texture (which is how I like it), or a few seconds longer for a dryer muffin. Warning, it does get pretty dry if you leave it in the micro too long. It puffs up some while cooking but doesn't raise really high. It's dense and filling.

Zucchini Muffins:


Ingredients:

3 servings syntrax (3 scoops vanilla syntrax protein powder)
4 servings flax meal(1/2 cup)
3 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large zucchini, grated
1/2 C chopped pecans
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp glucomannan powder
1/2 cup vanilla DaVincis (sugar free)
1/2 cup water (to thin out batter)

Crack the eggs in a bowl, and with a mixer, slowly add in 1/2 tsp of the glucomannan powder at a time, mix very well and the eggs should thicken up. Next add the vanilla, zucchini, pecans, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and DaVincis and mix well. Add the flax meal and protein powder and start mixing. The batter will be very dry at this point, and slowly add in the water while mixing to loosen it up until it is the consistency of regular cupcake batter.

Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute in muffin papers, should make 18, and bake for 30 minutes at *350 (check after 20 minutes because ovens vary.)
