This is my own recipe that I created from experimenting with ingredients. It is gluten-free and nut-free. A commercial oatmeal cookie may contain as much as 20 grams of carbs, with 120 calories!

I wanted to make an oatmeal cookie that was incredibly healthy, but very low in carbs - and NUT-FREE! So I have a lot of ingredients, but boy is it healthy, low in calories, and filling!

Just 0.7g net carbs per cookie! So even if you eat three cookies, that's only 2.1 net carbs!

I don't feel guilty eating these cookies!

Very high in Omega 3, protein, plus it has lots of fiber if you are having that problem!

(It may be expensive to buy all these ingredients, but I also use them in many of my other recipes, such as: Homemade Flax Bun recipe, Homemade Flax Bread recipe, Blueberry Mini Muffins, Chia Seed Salted Caramel Pudding recipe, and more to come!)

Other than some form of flour (I used flaxseed meal) and eggs, and some sort of sweetener, everything else is optional if you don't have it, don't want it, or can't use it. They are just there for added nutrition.

If you are concerned, either cut back on the eggs, or add more flaxseed meal or hemp hearts to make up.

No guarantees on how it will turn out though, as I have not tried it myself.

If you are not nut-allergic, you can replace the oats with nuts. A lot of recipes used flaked nuts to replace oats.

The nutritional content/carb count will change, of course.

WHY DID I INCLUDE THESE INGREDIENTS?

Omega-3 eggs - produced by hens fed a diet containing flaxseed. When the hens digest the flax, some of the ALA gets broken down into DHA and both fatty acids transfer to the yolk. One omega-3 egg typically contains 340 milligrams of ALA and 75 to 100 milligrams of DHA. DHA is crucial for the proper development and maintenance of brain cells. Some studies suggest higher intakes of ALA are protective against heart disease.

Flaxseed - Some call this seed one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. It is commonly used to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. It may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease. It may help reduce your risk of cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s. Flaxseed contains 75 to 800 times more lignans than other plant foods, which offers antioxidant qualities.

Hemp Hearts/Seeds - exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and various minerals. Rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). They also contain gamma-linolenic acid, which has been linked to several health benefits. Hemp seeds are a great protein source, as more than 25% of their total calories are from high-quality protein. A great source of vitamin E and minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc.

Psyllium Husk - a prebiotic — a substance needed for healthy colonies of probiotics to grow in the gut. A healthy colony of good bacteria in the digestive system is essential for healthy immune function. Your body is better able to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy tissue and cells. Research has shown taking soluble fiber can help people manage their cholesterol levels. It can affect your heart by lowering blood pressure, improving lipid levels, and strengthening heart muscle. Psyllium is also a bulk-forming laxative, with the ability to soften your stool provided you drink enough water.

Chia Seeds - Rich source of protein, antioxidants, essential omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and fiber. Eating once ounce of chia seeds each day would provide 18 percent of daily calcium needs, 27 percent of phosphorus, and 30 percent of manganese. It is also high in antioxidants and fiber. It is high in protein and lipids, low in sodium, and has fewer net carbs than most other grains. Their high levels of omega-3-fatty acids and alpha-linoleic acid may be useful for weight loss.

Nutritional Yeast - Due to its nutritional content, yeast in this form may increase a person’s energy, support their immune system, and offer additional health benefits. It is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein. Nutritional yeast can be particularly helpful for vegetarians and vegans if it has added vitamin B-12, as this vitamin mostly occurs in animal products. Some research suggests that nutritional yeast can combat brittle nails and hair loss. It may also help reduce acne and improve other common skin problems, particularly in adolescence.

Collagen Peptides - Several studies have shown collagen peptides or supplements containing collagen may help slow the aging of your skin by reducing wrinkles and dryness. It helps to maintain the integrity of your cartilage, which is the rubber-like tissue protecting your joints. Taking collagen supplements has been shown to reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen synthesis in the body. This may help promote pain relief among people with joint disorders like osteoarthritis. Consuming collagen supplements may help reduce the risk of bone disorders like osteoporosis. They have the potential to help increase BMD and lower levels of proteins in the blood that stimulate bone breakdown. Research has shown that consuming collagen supplements increased muscle growth and strength in people with age-related muscle mass loss.

Kiss My Keto: Keto Collagen Protein Powder - Contains just 1g-net carbohydrate, ideal for keto diets. Provides 10g of protein per serving with energy-enhancing MCTs. Each serving contains 67% C8 Caprylic Acid and C12 Lauric Acid MCT Oil powder, both naturally efficient ketogenic sources of energy for the brain and body. Blended with keto collagen protein powder for the ultimate nutritional kick. A low carb, sugar-free alternative to soy and whey protein that's designed for keto diets.

Steel Cut Oats - Adding oats to your diet is a healthy way to get more fiber, magnesium, iron, zinc, folate, protein, and more. Plus, they are an excellent source of antioxidants too. Because steel-cut oats are minimally processed, and because they contain more fiber, less carbs, and more protein than their counterparts, and are lower on the glycemic index, steel cut rolled oats are one of the healthiest grains you can eat - if you can tolerate them on your diet. In addition to all the nutrients and antioxidants, oatmeal is available in a safe gluten-free form. So, if you eat a gluten-free diet, you can easily add them in!

This is my own recipe that I created from experimenting with ingredients. It is gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, yeast-free, and clean Keto. A similar bun of regular bread may contain as much as 20 grams of carbs!

INGREDIENTS:
6 large eggs, room temperature
Flaxseed, golden - 6 tbsp seeds (makes about 1/2 cup ground)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil -1/4 cup
Monkfruit Sweetener - 4 tsp (or your favourite sweetener)
Pysllium Husk - 3 tbsp
Chia Seed - 1 tbsp
Hemp Hearts - 1 tbsp
Nutritional Yeast - 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Collagen Peptides - 1 scoop (optional)

---

---

DIRECTIONS:
Beat the eggs with a hand mixer or immersion mixer for at least 2 minutes till frothy.

Grind the Flaxseed in a coffee grinder (or a blender on fine ground), and then put the Psyllium, Chia, and hemp together in the grinder, and grind them as well. Makes a total of 1 cup of ground ingredients.

Add rest of ingredients to the eggs, mix well.

Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Spoon into a hamburger bun baking tray, or any about 4" wide baking dish or pan.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 375 F. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.

If possible, let the buns air dry 2-3 hours before putting them in a zip-lock bag and store in the fridge or freezer.

Makes six buns.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES:

1 bun = Calories: 233.4, Fat: 17.9, Sodium: 82, Carbs: 9.8, Fiber: 5.5, Sugar: 0.3, Sugar Alcohols: 2.7, Protein: 11.8, Net Carbs: 1.6

USES:

Hamburger buns, sandwich buns, sloppy joe buns, garlic bread, toasted with your favourite toppings... even change the shape to make hot dog buns, dinner rolls, more!

THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS:

My first batch, I started out with just a cup of Flaxseed meal without the rest (Sweetener, Pysllium, Chia, Hemp, Nutritional Yeast), it was OK, but more like a muffin in texture.

So I added a few other things to try to make it more bread-like, and more nutritious.

It is very dense, more like multi-grain/whole wheat bread texture than Wonderbread, but I love it. However, it's been so many years since I had regular bread, I may not be a good judge! LOL

If you can't eat the Pysllium, Chia, or Hemp, just replace it with one of the other ingredients.

I buy most of my ingredients from Bulk Barn (a bulk food store in Canada), the rest on Amazon.

I also bought the hamburger bun pan on Amazon. But if you have anything that is about 4" wide to bake in, you can use that.

I have a small coffee grinder that I grind my ingredients. I don't think it will work as well, if you don't grind these ingredients. If you don't have a grinder, just use your blender on fine ground. Some ingredients can be bought pre-ground.

Eggs beat up higher at room temperature, so that's important.

If you try my recipe, I'd love to hear how it turned out!

ENJOY!!

I just made some wonderful gluten-free, nut-free, diary-free, low carb bread - light and moist!

I had a recipe I was working with (found it here: Frugalfreebiesanddeals.com), and cut the recipe in half to test - then forgot to cut the number of eggs and baking powder in half - but I think I like it this way!

The original recipe made it into a Focaccia bread, but I wanted something more like regular bread slices - so I made it in a small loaf pan instead.

Half the recipe, with all the eggs, filled two 3" x 6" loaf pans. Next time I am going to try one regular size loaf pan.

This time I used brown flaxseed meal, next time I will try the golden. They say there is no difference, but I find the golden much lighter and not as strong a flavour.

I just toasted it and spread it with butter and Wow Butter (peanut butter substitute) - and it was delicious!

OK, the recipe I made:
1 cup flax meal
1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 Tablespoon date palm sugar (I can't use artificial sweetener)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water
3 TBSP olive oil (or coconut oil)

Mix well, pour into (one large or two small) loaf pan(s).
Bake about 25 minutes.
I cut mine into 10 servings per loaf.

This "Sassy Water" was originally found in a book called The Flat Belly Diet - I found it on Pinterest!

The lemon boosts your metabolism, stabilizes your blood sugar levels, and acts as a natural dietetic.

The ginger is for bloating and water retention, and it boosts your metabolism. Ginger is also  great for any kind of stomach or digestive issues.

Cucumbers are natural diuretics, help to curb sugar cravings and flush out toxins.

Mint helps to suppress your appetite, helps to detoxify and helps to get rid of flatulence. It also makes you sweat because it is a natural diaphoretic.

However, even if all that was not true, this is an excellent way to jazz up your water. When you get tired of drinking plain water, it helps you to drink more - because the flavor is amazing!

Other ideas to add: strawberries, berries, pineapple, tangerine, lemon balm, bee balm, lavender.

NOTE: Use fresh ginger.... keep it in the freezer to make it easy to grate and easy to clean up. It will keep longer that way.

Servings - makes eight 8-oz glasses
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Net Carbs: 0 carbs
Potential Allergens: citrus
Free of Wheat, Gluten, Soy, Sugar, Nuts, Tomato, dairy, egg, meat

I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and I am in love!

I found several versions - kalynskitchen.com, snackinginthekitchen.com, and cheeseslave.com.


So, as usual, I had to play with the recipe - of course I made some changes. I tried it first in regular muffin pans with muffin papers - don't do it!

The muffins stick to the muffin papers and are impossible to remove. So next I tried them in large silicone muffin pans and they popped out beautifully!

Two months into my low carb/high fat diet.

My weight loss for this month is another 6 lbs (2.72 kg)!

Which means I have lost a total of 23.2 lbs (10.52 kg) since New Year's Day.

The first month was kind of hard, but I am getting into the groove now, and with all the great recipes I have been finding, I am really enjoying my meals.

My husband is getting a bit jealous, because I give him a taste of what I make for myself, and he wants more! Now if I could just find the time to write down all my recipes for you!

How are you doing - how much weight have you lost so far?


An Update:
I started a low calorie/low fat diet (1,400-1,600 calories/day) right after New Year's, and in three month's time, I lost 8 pounds (3.63 kg). An average of 2.67 pounds (1.21 kg)/month.

On March 22nd, I started the Low Carb / High Fat diet (1,800-2,000 calories/day, 20-30g carbs). In just one month's time, I lost an additional 9.6 pounds (4.35 kg)!

Yesterday was my birthday, and so I was looking around online for a low carb birthday cake.

While I did find a few, they all used artificial sweeteners and since I am still experiencing a headache from the Yogurt Bites I made the other day with yogurt sweetened with Splenda - I thought I would pass.

But I did come across a recipe for Low Carb Pancakes, so I thought I would make a treat for my lunch!

Mine didn't come out as pretty as her's, but they still tasted good!


1/4 cup (56ml) cream cheese
2 large eggs
1 tsp (2ml) date palm sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp (1ml) cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp (15ml) butter

Preparation:
Blend all ingredients in a blender, until smooth. Heat butter at medium in frying pan. Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan. Cook for two minutes until golden, flip and cook one more minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

You can serve this with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries. If you do, you don't need to add the palm sugar, it is sweet enough with the syrup.

I didn't have any, and I am not going to try artificial sweeteners again, so I always add the palm sugar and cinnamon. I have tried both a dollop of butter on top of my panckaes - or - I add a teaspoon of Cinnamon Spread (2.4g carbs) to my plate and eat a bit of it with each bite of pancakes.

I was looking for something to make with chicken soup and the low carb cracker recipe I found on DiabetesForum.com used Almonds, which I cannot due to an allergy.

So I played with it a bit and made some no-carb crackers - and they taste great! The only thing is, I did not measure the cheese I grated - I did 16 strokes on the grater and guessed that was 2 ounces? I will have to measure it next time. But no matter how much cheese, it was still no carb.

Servings - makes 5 crackers
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Net Carbs: 0g carbs per cracker
Potential Allergens: dairy
Free of Wheat, Gluten, Egg, Soy, Sugar, Nuts, meat.


Ingredients:
5 tbsp Mozzarella cheese, whole milk, whole fat
5 - 1/4 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Garlic Salt (optional)

Preparation:
I used a small plastic cutting board and covered it with parchment/baking paper - so the cheese didn't stick.  You could also use a plate.


Grate any cheese of your choice, sprinkle 5 piles (about 1 tbsp each) on baking sheet.

Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of Parmesan cheese on on each pile.

Shake a tiny amount of garlic salt on each pile. (Or any herb/spice mix you would like)

Place cutting board or plate with the cheese piles in microwave, for 1 minute. Let cool.
