Hi all,

I'm not really a baker, but since you really can't find low carb sugar free desserts in the stores I've decided I want to start making my own so that I don't have the urge to try the full on sugary desserts.

My question for you all is this... Do you have a favorite homemade low carb bake mix you like best?

I prefer something I can make using locally store bought ingredients.  I'm on a really tight budget so ordering supplies online is definitely out of the question for me.

I've googled and found quite a few but no one actually has any info on what the outcome of using such bake mix recipes have.

So that's why I have once again turned to my fellow OH'ers!

Can't wait to hear from u all :)

I've heard of people using Atkins low carb mix.  And I've seen this one at my local grocery store.

Bob's Red Mill Low-Carb Baking Mix

I haven't used any of these.  I haven't really baked anything.  What little flour recipes did call for I used spelt flour.  Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! Those are actually 2 of the mixes I have been looking for, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find them locally. I've even tried my local Whole Foods in the hopes they would have it. Where do you find yours?

I shop at HEB just a local Texas grocery store.  I've never seen the Atkins mix though.  I know that Pillsbury does sugar free brownie mixes and I think cake mixes too.  Would that work?

I've had the brownie mix and it's quite good, but not low carb by any means. I've heard the cake mix is not very tasty so I haven't tried it. I'm really trying to keep my carbs down to a minimum since I know they could be my downfall. But I don't want to deprive myself of healthy lower carb versions of things I use to love like pasta, etc.

Oh, duh.  I completely forgot about the low carb thing.  Eggface and Bariatric Foodie have some really good recipes for sweets and desserts that are low carb.  Sorry...I don't know where else to look for the low carb mix without going online.

I have found the bobs red mill low carb at Publix. You can also order from their site,I think it is  WWW.bobsredmill.com.

there is a homemade atkins low carb mix,try googling that and see what comes up.

 I'm not sure what you are looking for specifically but this looks good as a substitute for chocolate cake (although I haven't tried it yet). I would substitute splenda for the whey low to bring the sugar down and avoid having to buy online ingredients. Hope this helps.

 

I just worry it might be too sweet since I never tried the Whey Low. What is it? Thanks christine (internetnut)

I'm not a hundred percent sure but from my reading it's a sweetener made with sugar but it doesn't react in our bodies the same way. I'm still in the loosing phase so I plan that when I make this I'll change to another sweetener, like splenda.
