You will find below all the Atkins Recipes! Please read the tips
first! Enjoy!
Helpful tips

If you don't have all the sweeteners, use any sweetener you have to
taste. Mixing different sweeteners intensifies the sweetening effect,
and requires a lesser amount of the sweetener. Always start with the
equivalent of 2 tbsp and add until sweet enough for you. For cooking
with sugar substitutes, refer to the company of the particular sugar
substitute you want to use. Most products have a toll free number to
call for more information.
Always bake in preheated oven, be careful not to over bake, I check
with a toothpick that it comes out clean (dry).
Use plastic,(not for baking) wax-paper, parchment paper, butter or pam
– type sprays to line your baking pan.
Baking pan is your choice; bread loaf pan works well, but also the
square and rectangular pans work great too.
Most recipes get very stiff, it is best to use your hands to knead the
mixture really well making sure the powder gets dissolved in. It may
also be helpful to put some butter on your hands to help press it
firmly into the pan.
Always chill or let cool before cutting into bars, unless otherwise
stated.
Store bars in airtight containers, they may also be frozen.
Store the syrups in airtight containers in the refridgerater.
I have done my best to provide accurate carb counts.


Which Protein Powder to use?

It's best to use the "scoop" that comes with the package, but in case
it's lost or you buy bulk, this is approx. 1/3 of a cup. Protein
powders are pretty much interchangeable. Keep in mind, though, that
carb and protein counts vary by brand and flavor, so your end result
may differ from the original recipe. It is your personal preference to
taste as to which powder and brand you use. Can be found in most
grocery stores, or a health food store.



Soy powder (also called soya) powder and soy flour are both made from
soybeans. Both contain protein and some carbohydrate and are
appropriate for doing Atkins. Soy powder is ground finer than soy
flour therefore works better in shakes: soy flour used for baking, is
denser than soy powder and therefore has more carbs.

Soy protein isolate as the name implies, separates the protein from
the carbohydrate content of the soybean, making it lower in carbs than
soy flour or soy powder.

Protein powder is a source of pure protein, usually an egg protein or
vegetable-based protein powder. Keep in mind that many protein powders
contain certain carb-laden fillers and hidden sugars. Make sure you
read the label to check carbohydrate and sugar content.

Whey protein isolate is considered the highest quality protein
available in terms of the body's ability to utilize it. It is
extremely low in carbohydrate, high in protein and contains virtually
no fat. It has also been shown to possess immune-boosting capabilities
by increasing the body's cellular levels of glutathione, an important
anti-oxidant.



Lecithin Derived from soy beans or egg yolks, nutrient-rich lecithin
is a wonder ingredient. It's used in cooking as an emulsifier,
preservative, lubricant, and moisturizer. It's a healthful substitute
for fat in baked goods, adding moisture and improving texture. Bakers
use it as a dough enhancer because it helps give yeast breads more of
a rise. It comes either granulated or as a liquid and can be found
in health food stores. Substitutes: vegetable oil (In bread recipes,
substitute this for lecithin measure for measure.)

guar gum This thickener is very popular among people with gluten
allergies. Look for it in health food stores. It clumps easily so
add slowly. Substitutes: Xanthan gum (Substitute an equal amount of
xanthan gum for guar gum. Xanthan gum is more expensive, but
interchangeable with guar gum.) OR pre-gel starch

Stevia This has been touted has a healthful alternative to
non-nutritive artificial sweeteners. It's quite sweet, but has a
bitter aftertaste. Look for it in health food stores. Substitutes:
sugar OR artificial sweeteners



Feel free to have fun, try other flavor combinations, wing it given
whatever ingredients you have on hand. This is all supposed to be
enjoyable and creative, right?

blended. Add soy flour / baking mix and blend well. Gently fold into
egg whites and spoon into muffin tins - makes 8-10.
Bake at 300 until lightly browned and springs back when touched -about
25 minutes.
Mix butter, Splenda and cinnamon well. When muffins are done and
cooled slightly, spread the butter mixture over each one.
You could make a cream cheese frosting (cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla
and some cream -beaten well) and bake this in a small loaf pan and
have a cinnamon coffee cake out of it.

This whole recipe is 11 g, 2g fiber - so about 1g per muffin.



Pumpkin Muffins

2/3 cup Atkins bake mix
1/2 cup of pumpkin
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 tbsp oil
1/4 cup flax seed
1/3 - 1/2 cup Splenda
2-3 tbsp cream
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tbsp nutmeg
1/8 tbsp allspice or cloves
1/8 tbsp ginger
Mix all ingredients well. If too thick, add a little water. (This
mixture should be pretty thick though, or they will turn out sort of
mushy on the inside). Pour into muffin pan sprayed with Pam. Bake at
350 for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
After fiber, I have that these come to about 3.5 grams of carbs per
muffin. They are pretty big muffins though.

Chocolate Fudge Muffins

1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup Atkins bake mix
1/8 cup flax meal
1/3 cup splenda

1 tbsp brown sugar twin
1/2 package cream cheese
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 square unsweetened baking chocolate
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
chopped nuts (optional)

Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute. In separate bowl melt
chocolate and butter. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese, add eggs
and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. Add all other ingredients. Mixture
should be thick, but if too thick, just add a little water. Bake at
350 for 20-25 minutes. Makes 6 muffins, at 4.5 carbs each.

Cranberry Orange Nut Muffins
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cups Atkins bake mix
1/8 cup flax meal
1 tbsp brown sugar twin
1/3 cup Splenda
2 eggs
1/2 package cream cheese
1 tbsp orange extract
1 - 2 tsp finely chopped dried cranberries (I used dried tart
cherries, as they are slightly lower in carbs)
Heat cream cheese for 1 minute in microwave. Add eggs and extract. Add
all other ingredients. Again, add a little water if too thick. Bake in
sprayed muffin pan for 20-25 minutes at 350. Makes 6 good size
muffins. (I have a carb count of 4.5)
