Thumbs up thank you NancyLC! Lemon Butter "Bowl-Muffin" Cake

I have been truly inspired by this whole Bowl-Muffin thing, it's TOO much fun and also nicely quick and easy (I'm back in school fulltime and classes START at 7:30 a.m., yuck!).

So I've read every single post and experiment, and I've been playing with this, trying out different stuff inspired by you all, and especially YOU, NancyLC

The Chicken & Sage was kinda cool, I liked the whole Bacon Egg McBowlMuffin thing, too. One thing I HAVE learned is that most of these (if without egg especially, they get a little dry) taste best while still warm. Preferably BUTTERED.

I haven't tried the Chocolate, that's next, but I did kind of fancy something with tang and zip today and was awfully hungry after classes, so instead of diving into the fridge, I decided to do the Lemon Thing I've been thinking about.

Here's the results, and let me tell you, it's YUMMY! This would make a pretty fine base for some whipping cream and raspberries or blueberries (some kind of affinity for lemon?)...


Code:
* Exported from MasterCook * CQ Bowl Muffin - Lemon Butter Recipe By : Judi IslandGirl, 'Carbers' Kitchen Counter™ Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:10 Categories : 00-05G, DaVinci Gourmet SF Syrup, Muffins Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice -- 1 small lemon 1 tablespoon lemon zest -- same lemon 2 tablespoons syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon 1 whole large egg, veggie-fed free-range 75 grams CarbQuick Bake Mix -- 3/4 Cup 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 15 grams butter -- 1 Tbsp 1 tablespoon syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon Using a small to medium size microwave proof bowl ('tupperware' style works well and is very "nonstick", just pops out when warm), beat together the lemon, syrup and egg til well-blended. Spoon in the CQ and the baking powder, then stir together til smooth and evenly blended. Microwave for 2 minutes (1000 watts, turntable) or til firm to the touch on top. Poke or score the top (still in the bowl and still warm) and lightly spread the butter so it melts in; tip out onto a small plate and then score the 'new' top into quarters or eighths (finger food size) and drizzle the final tablespoon of DaVinci Lemon flavour syrup. Scarf while still warm! Serving Ideas : breakfast, snack, dessert....would be great with BERRIES on top!

Could I add flaxmeal to this and also make it with no bacon?

Okay, I used

Aw shucks, IslandGirl! I am so glad you're having fun with them! I wish I was. My new diet doesn't allow such luxuries. However, I'll probabyl take a maintenance break for a couple of weeks at the end of the month and then... I'm going to enjoy Bowl Muffins again.

I see you're a fanatic for lemon like I am!

So sad. They won't make the tabletop liquid sweetener in North America themselves, but they won't let anyone else make it either... piggees.

Clearly they need a little competition in the marketplace to loosen their grip!
Maybe I should order more Sweetzfree before Splenda leans on them. Although, I must say it is a little too concentrated for my preferences.

NancyLC, what a terrific concept you've come up with! I was so sceptical, but printed out your ideas and then went in the kitchen to try it out. I was sooooo impressed- whodathunk? Since then, I have mentioned it a few times on another thread and somehow ended up getting posted twice - but I thank you for a terrific idea I don't use the Carbquik, but tried it with my protein powder, baking powder and a variety of s.f. syrups - tried the omelet one and made one for hubby's breakfast one a.m. hmmm, he didn't rave, but then he isn't given to raving anyway Thank you again - really happy about this new idea - and it seems to have no limits-except in our imagination!

W-O-w...Thank you Nancy, for a great recipe idea! I tried a pumpkin version of this muffin, toasted, buttered... it was so delicious that if I hadn't made it myself, I wouldn't have believed it was microwave food... Loved it.

Talking Oh YUM!

Hey, Nancy -

Okay, I keep seeing folks bump this recipe, and of course, the link is part of your signature.

So, yesterday, I thought, 'what the heck - let's print it and try it.'

OHMIGAWD...it's so good (not that I'm telling you anything you DON'T know. I made mine with flaxmeal and vanilla whey powder for flourish thingies. First batch was with vanilla syrup and Hood milk and a dash of cinnamon, lightly dotted with butter once cooked. Second batch was flax/whey combo mixed with carmel and chocolate syrup. BOTH WERE FABULOUS!!!!

Thanks for the recipe - I just wish I hadn't waited so long to try it!

Same here
I found a pancake mix version from CarbSmart and decided to use that. I bought their regular mix too.

I made a bowl pancake !

2 tablespoons pancake mix (1 net gram)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
cinnamon
1 packet Splenda
2 eggs

It made one nicely sized pancake and was extremely fluffy !
I just topped it with some sugar free syrup and let it soak in before I ate it. I now eat one just about everyday right before I swim.
Thanks for the recipe ideas .. it literally has given me back hope that I will stay with this way of eating.

LOL! I'm glad folks are enjoying them. I'm a little jealous because my very strict diet I'm on now, I can't eat them. Have one for me, ok?

omg.. thanks so much for coming up with an idea so that I dont have to throw that $15 can of Atkins vanilla bake mix out ! lmao... my frugal soul was about to have a fit over that, but couldnt find any other earthly use for it ... well.. maybe chunk it in with the mortar that the bricklayer was using on the house ???

Added a tsp of cocoa, an egg, cream and lil bit of vanilla... made a passing fair brownie Ima tell you !

Thanks again, cleverness and inventiveness like yours sure do make this lc world a lot easier to tolerate.

Be well all .

Ok so I wanted to try this, but I couldnt find atkins bake mix or carbquick anywhere...

Instead, I went to my local health food store (since I was out of flax anyway) and found Bob's Red Mill low carb bake mix.

Finally got around to trying it this morning using 1/4c bake mix, 1 tblsp flax meal (also Bob's Red Mill), a little over 1/4c raspberry syrup and an egg. Holy cow! It tasted like pancakes with strawberry syrup (odd since I used raspberry, I know... but hey...) Man the one thing I missed was going to Ihop for pancakes drown in strawberry syrup... this was the best substitute ever!

Made myself a second one after I came back from the gym

The Bob's Red Mill Bake Mix, I've found, gives one a 'firmer' product than, for example, the flax and vanilla whey protein powder combination I was using...BUT...the carb count is several points higher. Yummy no matter which way I make it.

Nancy, I'm currently doing an M&E fast (too many bowl muffins?? heehee), so I'll have one for you next week when I'm done!
