I have recently started a low carb diet. I am looking for a low carb baking mix (one I can make) to use instead of flour. Any low carb tips, recipes etc would be of great importance. Thanks for your help.

Recipe: Low Carb Baking Mix (6)

LOW CARB BAKING MIX (using baking powder)
Source: Bridget M.

2 cups soy isolate powder or soy flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon shortening (original recipe calls for shortening, but I omit because of hydrogenated fat)

Mix together and use like low carb baking mix.

ATKINS BAKING MIX SUBSTITUTE
Source: Unknown
Approximately 3 carbs

1 cup soy flour* �
2 cups soy protein isolate*
2 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt �
2 tablespoons Splenda

Sift together then store and use as you would Dr. A's. It's much cheaper and things come out about the same.

*You could try substituting Soya powder (milder taste) for the soy flour and substituting egg protein for soy.

ATKINS BAKING MIX SUBSTITUTE (No Soy)

Note from source: Here's another one I found that doesn't use soy. Some people do not like the strong taste that soy can impart to a mix.

1 cup almond flour
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1 cup unflavored whey protein powder
4 packets Splenda
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix all together and store in a zip lock bag in the fridge. When a recpie calls for bake mix, just measure according to the recipe.
