I posted my cereal recipe on asd recently. It's a mixture of 2 cups
almond meal, 2 1/2 cups flax meal, 1 3/4 cups raw wheat germ, 2 cups oat
bran, 2 1/2 cups milk isolate protein powder, 1 cup soy lecithin, 1 cup
cinnamon (approximately 1/2 lb of first 5 ingredients, 1/4 lb of last 2
ingredients). Store tightly covered in fridge. As needed, mix 3/4 cup
dry cereal with boiling water to desired consistency; then stir in 1 TB
of heavy cream. 28g total carb (lots is fiber though), 23g protein and
350 kilocalories.
I got thinking about what else I do with these ingredients. I use
lecithin in protein powder shakes also; it's an emulsifier. Probably
could us it for making mayonnaise too, now that I think of it. But I am
mostly a lazy cook, so I don't make my own mayo.
I sometimes see recipes for wonderful pastries made with almond meal
and/or flax meal, sometimes I clip them and save them, but I rarely
actually get around to making them. I do occasionally spend 4 hours in
the kitchen, but when I do, I don't expect to have to cook for a week.
I'm not really motivated to make low-carb cheesecake unless it's a
matter of just mixing cream cheese with some vanilla and lemon juice and
sweetener - that's good enough for me.
So here's my actual fast, practical almond meal/flax meal recipes that I
make all the time:
First one is to make a slice of bread. I use a square pyrex about the
size of a regular bread slice with a lid. Melt 1 TB butter in the dish
in the microwave, then stir in 1 beaten egg, 2 TB flax meal, 2 TB almond
meal and 1/4 tsp baking powder; cover and microwave for 90 seconds.
I will often put the bread on a plate and put a slice of cheese on it;
then cook an egg in the same pyrex dish to top it with. The whole
sandwich has 9g total carb, 26g protein and 542 calories. A very fast
breakfast with minimal dishes involved.
Second one I do often is to make a muffin, which I nuke in a coffee cup.
This is particularly good when you're craving something specific like
a banana muffin or garlic bread cause the taste varies depending on what
extracts/sweeteners or herbs you use. Just melt 2 TB coconut oil in
coffee cup, beat in 1 egg, 1/4 cup flax meal and either some
extract/sweetener for a sweet muffin or spices/herbs* for a savory
muffin. Nuke for 1 minute for a muffin with 17g total carb, 17g protein
and 612 calories.
*Julie can add salt here.
