  1. You will find below all the Atkins Recipes! Please read the tips first! Enjoy! Helpful tips

    If you don't have all the sweeteners, use any sweetener you have to taste. Mixing different
    sweeteners intensifies the sweetening effect, and requires a lesser amount of the sweetener. Always
    start with the equivalent of 2 tbsp and add until sweet enough for you. For cooking with sugar
    substitutes, refer to the company of the particular sugar substitute you want to use. Most products
    have a toll free number to call for more information. Always bake in preheated oven, be careful not
    to over bake, I check with a toothpick that it comes out clean (dry). Use plastic,(not for baking)
    wax-paper, parchment paper, butter or pam – type sprays to line your baking pan. Baking pan is your
    choice; bread loaf pan works well, but also the square and rectangular pans work great too. Most
    recipes get very stiff, it is best to use your hands to knead the mixture really well making sure
    the powder gets dissolved in. It may also be helpful to put some butter on your hands to help press
    it firmly into the pan. Always chill or let cool before cutting into bars, unless otherwise stated.
    Store bars in airtight containers, they may also be frozen. Store the syrups in airtight containers
    in the refridgerater. I have done my best to provide accurate carb counts.

    Which Protein Powder to use?

    It's best to use the "scoop" that comes with the package, but in case it's lost or you buy bulk,
    this is approx. 1/3 of a cup. Protein powders are pretty much interchangeable. Keep in mind, though,
    that carb and protein counts vary by brand and flavor, so your end result may differ from the
    original recipe. It is your personal preference to taste as to which powder and brand you use. Can
    be found in most grocery stores, or a health food store.

    Soy powder (also called soya) powder and soy flour are both made from soybeans. Both contain protein
    and some carbohydrate and are appropriate for doing Atkins. Soy powder is ground finer than soy
    flour therefore works better in shakes: soy flour used for baking, is denser than soy powder and
    therefore has more carbs.

    Soy protein isolate as the name implies, separates the protein from the carbohydrate content of the
    soybean, making it lower in carbs than soy flour or soy powder.

    Protein powder is a source of pure protein, usually an egg protein or vegetable-based protein
    powder. Keep in mind that many protein powders contain certain carb-laden fillers and hidden sugars.
    Make sure you read the label to check carbohydrate and sugar content.

    Whey protein isolate is considered the highest quality protein available in terms of the body's
    ability to utilize it. It is extremely low in carbohydrate, high in protein and contains virtually
    no fat. It has also been shown to possess immune-boosting capabilities by increasing the body's
    cellular levels of glutathione, an important anti-oxidant.

    Lecithin Derived from soy beans or egg yolks, nutrient-rich lecithin is a wonder ingredient. It's
    used in cooking as an emulsifier, preservative, lubricant, and moisturizer. It's a healthful
    substitute for fat in baked goods, adding moisture and improving texture. Bakers use it as a dough
    enhancer because it helps give yeast breads more of a rise. It comes either granulated or as a
    liquid and can be found in health food stores. Substitutes: vegetable oil (In bread recipes,
    substitute this for lecithin measure for measure.)

    guar gum This thickener is very popular among people with gluten allergies. Look for it in health
    food stores. It clumps easily so add slowly. Substitutes: Xanthan gum (Substitute an equal amount of
    xanthan gum for guar gum. Xanthan gum is more expensive, but interchangeable with guar gum.) OR pre-
    gel starch

    Stevia This has been touted has a healthful alternative to non-nutritive artificial sweeteners. It's
    quite sweet, but has a bitter aftertaste. Look for it in health food stores. Substitutes: sugar OR
    artificial sweeteners

    Feel free to have fun, try other flavor combinations, wing it given whatever ingredients you have on
    hand. This is all supposed to be enjoyable and creative, right?

    vanilla Pour cream and espresso into a saucepan. Scald (heat to just before boiling) Remove from
    heat and strain. Add chocolate, vanilla, Splenda and salt.

    Berry Syrup

    18/2 cup strawberries

    2 tbsp orange juice

    pinch of Splenda

    Puree strawberries, add orange juice and sweetener. Microwave to a simmer then allow to cool before
    using. 2 tbsp serving is 2 gram carbs

    Blueberry Syrup Put about 1/4-1/2 cup of frozen blueberries in a small saucepan. Heat the berries
    slowly,until you have a good amount of warm juice in the pan. Serve warm over pancakes with butter.
    Bake Mix Pancakes
    19/2 cup of bake mix 2 eggs
    20/3 cup soda water 1 tbsp heavy cream
    21/4 tsp salt oil for the skillet

    Mix all ingredients until batter is smooth. Cook up pancakes on hot griddle brushed with oil.

    Zucchini Breakfast Pancakes 1 cup shredded zucchini 3 tbsp Atkins bake mix or soy or oat flour
    (adjust carbs) 2 packets Splenda 2 oz heavy cream
    22/4 cup water dash salt
    23/2 tsp cinnamon 1 large egg -slightly beaten oil or butter for skillet

    Mix all ingredients. Heat skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to prevent
    sticking. Pour in a small amount of batter and flatten into a 3 -4" circle. Let brown on one side
    (about 1 minute) then flip and brown on other side and cook through. Makes about 10 pancakes at
    about 1g each. Bake Mix Muffins
    24/3 cup Atkins Bake Mix 4oz cream cheese 6-8 packets Splenda 2 eggs 1 tbsp extract - coconut,
    almond, banana, cinnamon, whatever you prefer.

    Soften cream cheese in microwave for about one minute. Add remaining ingredients, mix well by hand.
    Spoon into muffin tin sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. You can also use this batter as
    pancake mix, adding blueberries and using vanilla extract.

    Bake Mix Muffins 2
    25/2 cup Bake Mix 3 eggs 2 tbsp melted butter 2 tbsp sour cream

    Mix all ingredients together. Pour into muffin tray. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Makes six muffins.
    Serve hot from the oven with butter or cream cheese. You could probably add some blueberries and
    sweetener and get a decent tasting blueberry muffin, too.

    Fluffy Cinnamon Muffins 4 eggs
    26/2 tsp cream of tartar
    27/4 cup cottage cheese 2 tbsp soy flour or Atkins bake mix 1 tbsp Splenda
    28/2tsp cinnamon 1 more tbsp Splenda
    29/2 tsp more cinnamon 4 tbsp softened butter

    Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 300. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar
    until stiff. Set aside. Mix cottage cheese, egg yolks, 1 tbsp Splenda and 1/2 tsp cinnamon until
    well blended. Add soy flour / baking mix and blend well. Gently fold into egg whites and spoon into
    muffin tins - makes 8-10. Bake at 300 until lightly browned and springs back when touched -about 25
    minutes. Mix butter, Splenda and cinnamon well. When muffins are done and cooled slightly, spread
    the butter mixture over each one. You could make a cream cheese frosting (cream cheese, Splenda,
    vanilla and some cream -beaten well) and bake this in a small loaf pan and have a cinnamon coffee
    cake out of it.

    This whole recipe is 11 g, 2g fiber - so about 1g per muffin.

    Pumpkin Muffins

    30/3 cup Atkins bake mix
    31/2 cup of pumpkin 2 eggs lightly beaten 1 tbsp oil
    32/4 cup flax seed
    33/3 - 1/2 cup Splenda 2-3 tbsp cream
    34/4 cup chopped pecans 1 tbsp cinnamon
    35/4 tbsp nutmeg
    36/8 tbsp allspice or cloves
    37/8 tbsp ginger Mix all ingredients well. If too thick, add a little water. (This mixture should be
    pretty thick though, or they will turn out sort of mushy on the inside). Pour into muffin pan
    sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. After fiber, I have
    that these come to about 3.5 grams of carbs per muffin. They are pretty big muffins though.

    Chocolate Fudge Muffins

    38/3 cup almond flour
    39/3 cup Atkins bake mix
    40/8 cup flax meal
    41/3 cup splenda

    1 tbsp brown sugar twin
    42/2 package cream cheese 1 tbsp cocoa powder 1 square unsweetened baking chocolate 1 tbsp butter 1
    tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs chopped nuts (optional)

    Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute. In separate bowl melt chocolate and butter. Add melted
    chocolate to cream cheese, add eggs and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. Add all other ingredients.
    Mixture should be thick, but if too thick, just add a little water. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
    Makes 6 muffins, at 4.5 carbs each.

    Cranberry Orange Nut Muffins
    43/3 cup almond flour
    44/3 cups Atkins bake mix
    45/8 cup flax meal 1 tbsp brown sugar twin
    46/3 cup Splenda 2 eggs
    47/2 package cream cheese 1 tbsp orange extract 1 - 2 tsp finely chopped dried cranberries (I used
    dried [censored] cherries, as they are slightly lower in carbs) Heat cream cheese for 1 minute in
    microwave. Add eggs and extract. Add all other ingredients. Again, add a little water if too
    thick. Bake in sprayed muffin pan for 20-25 minutes at 350. Makes 6 good size muffins. (I have a
    carb count of 4.5)
