Hiya Coco! How many carbs are you guesstimating doing per day now?
Any of you experimented with Carbquick? I just got my order today, and made these:
I adapted an older pumpkin scone recipe I had to this LC version. They turned out excellent, very moist. Not a sweet dessert type scone, but excellent with a dollop of whipped cream and a hot mug of coffee.
Pumpkin Cranberry Scones
2 cups Carbquick
1 Tbs butter
2 packets of Splenda (or more if you would like them sweeter, original recipe called for 1 Tbs sugar)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin, cold
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbs heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh cranberries, halved
Heat oven to 425.
Cut butter into Carbquick, add the Splenda, pumpkin, egg, and cream. Incorporate the ingredients well, but do not over mix. Gently fold in cranberries. Shape dough into 10 balls, place on a buttered cookie sheet, and press down gently, smoothing the outer edges. Brush tops with additional heavy cream if desired.
Bake on middle rack for 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm with butter and/or whipped cream.
Yield: 10 scones
4 net carbs each
10 fiber
I already ate 2 today Stayed within my carb limit, and they are pretty low cal, and they have veggie/fruit carbs in them.. can you tell I'm making excuses? I'm keeping a few out for breakfasts through the weekend, but I HAVE to freeze the rest.
