Low carb, non refined sugar, non dairy biscuit / bar / dessert

Dinkie

I've been put on a low carb, no sugar and definately no dairy diet for health reasons - no more cooking club recipes for now:(

Fortunately its only for a few weeks and then I can start reintroducing them.

However, I've just been invited out to a friends for dinner tonight and I offered to make the dessert to save stress on the host.

Does anybody have some type of bar/biscuit type desert thats nice? I've been googling for the past hour - but nearly every dessert I've found has something I can't eat in it!

Now I am allowed to have stevia - but not any honey, maple syrup or any of the other natural sugars that might cause insulin spikes. I've been looking up things with coconut flour and almond meal - but am a little overwhelmed!

Thanks

i'd say protein muffins if you could get your hands on choc protein powder
no sugar flour dairy etc

Thanks - I can steal some of the OH's whey protein powder...


*goes off to google again*

yeah i cant find a link to the ones i made - i think those ones had some natural yogurt anyway but you can find recipes without

Isn't whey protein a source of dairy?

I made some date balls the other day http://www.gaianaturopathic.com/resources_recipes_carobballs.html

Also plan to make this (with soy/rice milk) http://freedomsweetfreedom.blogspot.ie/2011/02/avocado-carob-mousse-pudding-recipe-to.html You can leave out the maple syrup as its only optional

Thanks all. Going to make the muffins and the date balls for work next week.

I have made (and just tasted) these....

coconut pumpkin fudge. I used 1tblsp of stevia instead of honey / maple syrup and and 2 teasp of cocoa powder. I also had no allspice - so used nutmeg and cinnamon powder.

Funnily enough I'm allowed to eat pumpkin and cocoa - but not too much :rolleyes:

I put them in the freezer for 1.5 hours and have just tasted them. They are not overly sweet - but taste really good. I think the cinnamon and nutmeg means that you don't need too much sweetner.
