Title: Craving Sweets
Post by: Siltz on January 21, 2013, 05:25:44 PM: I'm craving something sweet. Can anyone suggest something low in carbs that I don't have to make.

Here is the link and so easy to make http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=968.msg7499#msg7499 (http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=968.msg7499#msg7499)
I use almond flour for mine and add 1 tbsp of heavy cream.
I mix up and pour in plastic bowl and micro wave double batch for 2.35 minutes :o
One-Minute Muffin

I’ll post the original “1-Minute Muffin” recipe I found, but definitely look at the many variations below...

. Melt 1 T butter in a coffee cup or measuring cup.
. Mix in ¼ cup flaxseed meal, (can use almond meal, oat fiber, coconut flour or a mixture, i.e. half flax, half almond)
. ½ tsp baking powder
. 1 egg
. Sweetener (to personal taste): 1 tsp xylitol or 1-2 Spenda pkts or 1 T S/F flavored syrup (Torani/Da Vinci)

Mix well – microwave approximately 50-60 seconds (depending on micro wattage). Turn out and let cool. Muffin top should look shiny and a little moist. Serve w/butter or cream cheese while warm or plastic wrap for later.

Post by: Doug Varrieur on January 24, 2013, 12:30:44 PM: I say flip through the 400 page FAT TO SKINNY sugar free bakery book and make a batch of Fall Spice Balls or Ginger Snaps or Umpa Doodles. Freeze the cookies so when you do need sweet you can open the freezer and pop one in your mouth. Of course you could always put FTS Zero Sweetener in your pickle jar for sweet pickles ;-)
