Low Carb Baking Blend - An Alternative To Flour
Description
The Low Carb Baking Blend mixes oat fiber (not oat flour), coconut flour, unflavored whey protein powder, golden flaxseed meal (or a flaxseed and chia seed mix), and xanthan gum or glucomannan powder as a binder. These ingredients create a powder that can replace all-purpose flour in baking recipes, though it is not a 1:1 substitution by volume. The blend helps mimic the texture and structure that regular flour provides while keeping carbohydrates low.
Usage involves whisking all components together until well combined and storing the mixture in an airtight container to maintain freshness. This mix allows for baking low carb breads, muffins, or other baked goods with a different nutrient profile, especially for those limiting carbohydrate intake.
The product is measured such that 1/4 cup of this blend provides approximately 3.34 net grams of carbohydrates. Depending on the recipe, you will often use between 3/4 and 1 cup of this blend to replace traditional flour, reflecting differences in absorption and density compared to all-purpose flour.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oat fiber NOT oat flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup whey protein powder unflavored
- 1 cup golden flaxseed meal I used a flaxseed & chia seed mix
- 1 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum or glucomannan powder
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Place in an airtight container.
Notes
- This blend is not a direct 1:1 replacement for all-purpose flour; use about 3/4 to 1 cup for every cup of flour called for in recipes.
- Store the mixture in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
- 1/4 cup of this baking blend contains roughly 3.34 net grams of carbohydrates, useful for tracking low carb diets.
