Over many years I have morphed myself into more of a food purist from a Drive Thru Sue. That DTS in me wants pure foods in a quick and easy manner. Hence sometimes I refer to myself as a Drive Thru Purist.
The Easy Mix is a perfect DTPurist option.
I wanted five things from my Baking Mix.
1. I wanted a single mix that could be used with
sweet or savory breads.
2. I wanted a mix that made a lighter MIM, BIM, Waffle, Flat Bread, etc.
3. I
wanted more protein in my finished product.
4. I wanted it as allergen
safe as I could get it.
5. I wanted an FP mix that could work in any
setting.
Through lots of trial and error I
have been able to do 1 through 3. On number 4 I am part way there.
I'm working on an egg free version. I'm also working on a coconut
free version. As far as goal number 5 I hope to have an Easy Mix FP
Version out soon.
Easy
Mix Baking Mix
1
cup Flax Meal (Golden gives a lighter flavor and color)
1
cup THM Oat Fiber GF certified or Psyllium Husk* (for a grain free
version)
1
cup Coconut Flour
1
cup Unflavored Gelatin (Unflavored Beef is Preferable)
2
TBS Baking Powder
½
tsp High Mineral Salt
Throw
everything in a food processor or blender and wiz around for about
30 seconds. You can mix it in a bowl. I prefer the food processor
because it blends better, and makes a more consistent fine texture.
In my opinion it also makes a better texture in the final product.
* When using the Psyllium Husk I find that sometimes I need
to add an extra tsp or two of liquid.
Here
are a few ways to start using your baking mix.
Basic
MIM
In
a small bowl, or in a well greased mug mix your wet ingredients
1
egg emulsified (no egg whites showing) or 2 egg whites slightly beaten
2
TBS Water, or Light Coconut milk (you can use any allergen safe FP
milk)
2
tsp melted coconut oil, red palm oil or butter
½
tsp vanilla
1
doonk THM Stevia, or 1 tsp Sweet Blend or 1 TBS Erythritol or Xylitol
{Sweetener
Free option: Use 1 tsp of vanilla and add 1 tsp of coconut butter}
Add
and mix well 3 level TBS of Easy Mix
For
the Microwave place the mug in the microwave and cook for 2 min
depending on your microwave.
For
the Oven: Preheat to 400. Grease an Ramekin or Pyrex oven safe bowl
very well. (It will stick if not well greased.) Scoop the batter in
to Ramekin and spread out. With the gelatin and especially the if you
are using the psyllium as well this will be a very thick batter. It
is almost a lose dough like batter. Cook for 20 to 25 min.
Bread
in a Mug (BIM)
In a small bowl or in a well greased mug mix
your wet ingredients
1
egg emulsified (no egg whites showing), or two egg whites slightly beaten
2
TBS Water, or Light Coconut milk (you can use any allergen safe FP
milk)
2
tsp melted coconut oil, red palm oil or butter
Add
and mix well 3 level TBS of Easy Mix
Follow
MIM baking instructions.
Mini
Doughnuts
In
a small bowl mix your wet ingredients
2 eggs emulsified
1
TBS melted coconut oil or butter
1/4 cup water or unsweetened
almond milk (any allergy safe FP milk will work)
1 tsp vanilla
2
TBS Xylitol or Erythritol, 2 tsp Sweet Blend, or 2 doonks THM stevia
{Sweetener
Free option: Use 2 tsp of vanilla and add 2 tsp of coconut butter}
Add
and mix well 6 level TBS (3 coffee scoops) of Easy Mix
Using
a TBS fill each mini doughnut well of a pre-heated mini doughnut
maker. Cook according to doughnut maker instruction.
Makes
aprox 10 doughnuts
Serving size 5 doughnuts.
Kid
Version
Sub 2 TBS honey or coconut sugar for the on plan
sweetener. If using honey cut liquid back to 3 TBS.
I love
this Brown Butter Glaze for the mini doughnuts. I powder THM Erythritol in a spice grinder (Also known
as a coffee grinder with a big pink label on it that says Spice
Grinder) for the glaze. For the kiddo's I'll sometimes do half erythritol and half
coconut sugar.
Rosemary
Garlic Flat Bread
In
a small bowl mix your wet ingredients
1
egg emulsified
2 tsp water
2 tsp olive oil (one of the few
times I cook with olive oil)
Add
and mix well
3 level TBS of Easy mix
1/8 to ¼ tsp garlic
powder
¼ tsp crushed dried rosemary
Take
a small pizza pan or pie plate (I use an 8 in pizza pan with the
holes in the bottom) and cut a piece of parchment paper to fit.
Grease both sides of the parchment paper, and line the pizza pan or pie plate with it. Place the flat bread dough
in the center. With wet hands press down the dough and spread out
evenly across the parchment paper. Make sure your hands are wet,
because this dough is sticky. Bake in a pre heated 400 degree oven
for 15 to 20 min. Remove the flat bread and parchment paper with a
small cookie spatula. Remove the parchment from the back of the flat
bread.
While
mixing batter bring an griddle to an med temp. (I use a heavy cast
iron)
In
a small bowl mix wet ingredients.
1
egg emulsified (no egg whites showing)
3
TBS Water, or Light Coconut milk (you can use any allergen safe FP
milk)
2
tsp melted coconut oil, red palm oil or butter
½
tsp vanilla
1
doonk THM Stevia, or 1 tsp Sweet Blend or 1 TBS Erythritol or Xylitol
{Sweetener
Free option: Use 1 tsp of vanilla and add 1 tsp of coconut butter}
Add
and mix well
3
level TBS of Easy Mix
¼ tsp cinnamon
Scoop
on a slightly greased griddle already at temp. (Batter is somewhat
thicker than most pancake batter and does not really ladle well.)
Cook on first side until the sides and a small portion of the top is
dry. Also there should be some air bubble that have escaped through
the top. Using an egg turner flip the pancakes over. They will puff
up while cooking. When good and puffy remove from the griddle to a
plate. They will deflate some, but will still be somewhat fluffy.
Waffles
Start
heating waffle iron
In
a small bowl mix wet ingredients
2
eggs emulsified
2
tsp melted coconut oil, red palm oil or butter
½
tsp vanilla
1
doonk THM Stevia, or 1 tsp Sweet Blend or 1 TBS Erythritol or Xylitol
{Sweetener
Free option: Use 1 tsp of vanilla and add 1 tsp of coconut butter}
Add
and mix well
3
level TBS of Easy Mix
¼ tsp cinnamon
Pour into waffle
maker and cook according to manufacture instructions.
NOTE:
This mix does have some issues with sticking in some older waffle
makers. My waffle maker is somewhat newish. It is about a year old with a good non-stick
surface.
Personal Note: I do not like my sweet breads as sweet as some. Adding extra sweetener to personalize your own sweet breads is always an option.
