Leanne’s Phase 1 Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups Lupin flour (could sub. Carbquick)
  • 1/2 cup oat fibre
  • 2 cups skin on grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Splenda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp each ginger, nutmeg and mace
  • 1/2 tsp half salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions:

  • Mix dry ingredients well, add grated zucchini and mix to coat all of the zucchini.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, oil and almond milk.
  • Then mix wet ingredients into dry. It will be very thick, but remember the zucchini will release moisture as it cooks.
  • Then place in 12 prepared muffin tins… And bake about 30 mins at 350F.

The spices are really good at covering the bean flavour of the Lupin flour, I enjoyed them. I’m pretty sure carbquick would work equally well as a replacement for the Lupin flour, if that s what you have.

They are .8 net carbs if you count the zucchini under your veg… Phase 1 suitable as a snack for 1 muffin.

Meli’s Seafood Alfredo

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of shirataki noodles or another poon approved noodle. Boiled
  • 3 tbls olive oil. Or bacel olive oil. Or my fave 2 tbls olive oil and 1 tbls garlic olive oil.
  • 3 tbls carbquick
  • Chopped garlic. I use one clove. Because I use garlic olive oil.
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Half salt to taste. You won’t need much. At best 1/2 tsp. you can also use onion powder. But I don’t have any today.
  • Mushrooms if you want.

Directions:

  • In a medium sauce pan heat oil to boil on medium.
  • Add carbquick and stir vigorously. I use my stainless steel sauce pans for this so I can use a fork or whisk.
  • When fully combined and bubbling add chopped garlic. And then keep stirring. The mixture will not be thick or doughy. It’s very thin.
  • Then I added the almond milk. Continue to stir. Bring to a boil. While continuing to stir. This took about 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn heat down to low. Add in salt and any other spice. To taste.
  • Add in mushrooms I used two.
  • Let cook on low for about 5-10 min stirring occasionally. As to not let a skin form. Then turn off heat and let stand.
  • Seafood. In a separate pan put defrosted seafood or fresh seafood in a pan, start to cook seafood and drain any water. Scallops often create water. Stick to the seafood allowance. Phase 1 does not have a lot of shrimp. I have used a Shrimp ring and just taken 4 of those. So my shrimp is small.
  • When water is drained add 1 tsp of garlic olive oil. You can add in 1 clove garlic and spring onions.
  • Once all is fried. Add in the shirataki noodles and toss together. Then add your sauce that has been standing. I used only 1/2 the sauce. I have some left over.

I am adding that sauce to my roast beef and spinach tonight. Yummy.

This was very, very, yummy. You can reduce the amount of olive oil used if you like. I measure stuff. Also don’t use so much salt or any salt if you used Bacel. That stuff has way to much salt. Garlic olive oil is a staple here.

I find that when using shirataki noodles you need to boil then toss in a frying pan with any sauce your using or that stuff refuses to combine.
