Default CarbQuick Experiment #1

Okay - my CarbQuick arrived from Netrition last night. So this morning I
made two pancakes by modifying a couple of recipes I found at the sites
mentioned here (Carbquick & Bisquick)

I mixed in a small bowl:
3/8 c. almond breeze original (no sugar)
1/8 c. eggbeaters
1 Tbs. Splenda
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Then added:
1/2 c. CarbQuick + a little more for a thicker batter
Mixed well then folded in 1 Tbs. melted coconut oil.

Cooked on a griddle at medium high heat just like normal pancakes.

They were really wonderful. I was amazed. Of course I added butter and
had my favorite fake sausage patty (Morningstar farms). I need to try a
lower carb syrup though. I used maple grove and it had 11 carbs for 1/4
c. Is DaVincis pancake syrup good? I'd like to cut that down as much as
possible.

Here's the really good part:
I got up with a fasting bg 115 (I'm normally a little lower than than)
1 hour after my big breakfast - 122 bg
2 hours after = 99 bg.

I'm making Susan's apple cake tonight. Thanks again for all the good
info!


The DaVinci's syrup is like water. At least I thought so. Smelled very
mapley but didn't have much of a maple taste. I haven't found any low carb
syrup that I thought was worth eating. I don't eat pancakes much. I will
occasionally make gluten free, dairy free and egg free ones for my daughter.
They don't taste like real pancakes but that's as close as I can get. I
will occasionally have a dime sized one with a drop of real maple syrup on
it. That's about as good as it gets for me.
