Carb Conscious Baking

Oh my little blog how I have missed you. The month of April was brutally busy and the blog was the first thing to be neglected. April saw a wide variety of cooking and events and I’ll try and catch up over the next couple of days. One of the things that I haven’t done in a long time is a lower carb baking day. One of my clients’ suggested that I do some G.I. (glycemic index) diet baking. We did and some of the recipes were great and others well just didn’t pan out. I will be tinkering with them over the next couple of weeks to get them just right. I will not be controlled by a recipe failure….I will persevere….I will succeed.

Our first stuff out of the pan were these Oatmeal pancakes. Yum!

Next out of the oven were these Chocolate Zucchini muffins. These were also successful!

Next up is a photo of the batter for some Cranberry Nut muffins. The batter looked oh so delicious but the final results were not as nice.

These blueberry scones tasted OK hot out of the oven but didn’t freeze well.

I’m not sharing photos of the more unsuccessful of the bunch, I mean why torture you and me! I’ll be going back to the ‘lab’ to fix the recipes and hopefully I’ll have some successes to report to you.

In the meantime I have a little housekeeping issue. I had to ‘force’ my readers to register in order to comment. I was getting over 100 spam comments every day on the site. I’m sorry to make you jump through this hoop but I was spending more time filtering than working on the site. If any of you have suggestions please let me know.
