Thread: I really, really miss bread...whatdaya suggest?

I definitely think Mug Cake will help - it's sort of breadish. Also, the almond flour/flax flour cookies are kinda breadish too. Here is the Mug Cake recipe. I don't follow it closely= just eyeball the amounts, and it turns out great. I never put vanilla in, and I use a 1/4 tsp baking powder to make it more cakey:

Mug Cake for Phase 3 (319 cal, 29 g fat, 8.5 g carbs, 11.3 g protein)
2 Tb. Almond flour
1 1/2 Tb xylitol
1 Tb. cocoa powder, heaping
1 egg
3 Tb. half and half or cream
1 Tb. butter or coconut oil (I especially love the coconut oil)
Splash of Vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (mix dry ing. in mug, mix in milk/oil/vanilla. 1000 watt microwave for 90 secs, cool, add whipped cream on top)

Here is the almond cookie recipe. I don't have any coconut flour, so I used flax flour, which may have been the reason I had to use triple the amount of almond and flax flour to get them to the right consistency for baking. They were very heavy. 2 cookies made me full for hours:

Almond Cookies:
1 Tb coconut flour
1 Tb almond flour
3 Tb coconut oil
.25 t baking powder
pinch salt
.5 t stevia or other sweetener (I used Xylitol to taste before putting in the eggs)
2 eggs
.5 t almond essence
whipping cream or milk to mix

Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil and eggs. (coconut flour absorbs the liquid very quickly so add cream or milk until a soft dropping consistency is reached). Drop spoonfuls onto a non-stick baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Makes about 9 patties. You could add a few sliced almonds to the top before cooking, or coconut to the mix. These come out quite heavy. I haven't yet mastered the blend to make them a bit lighter. But they are quite tasty and great when you need something filling.

Bread cravings are a sign of Nitrogen deficency. Try eating more protein.

I thought the mug cake was horrible. that almond flour really turns me off. Best suggestion I have is hold out until P4 and try the real thing. These "fake" sweets and crackers can cause you problems in P3, IMHO. They are pretty high calorie and induldge the cravings P2 should have fixed. Crack and mug cake are causing all sorts of problems if you read threads. That Mug Cake is 500 calories!!!

I used to crave homemade bread. I miss it, I bake it all the time and love the smell. But I have no craving to have it. It would be nice to have a slice of it with butter in a few weeks...but I'm going to make sure it's not a habit. bread, wine and cheese caused my 20 lb gain over the past 10 years.

hmmm, well, my mug cake is great according to my hubby who is not a 'cake' person! Even my granddaughter loved it.

chocolate is the bottom pyramid on the food group!
