• Old recipe for baked goods
• Eggs
• Cooking oil or Butter
• Sugar substitute (#)
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Vanilla flavoring
• Salt
• Any additional ingredients from original recipe
• Wheat gluten powder
• Whey protein powder (#)
• Soy flour (not soy protein (#) )
• Ground almonds (almond flour)

Preparation

Step 1

1.The basic idea here is to substitute for the sugar and flour in the recipe because these items are those most likely to have lots of carbohydrates in them.

2.Following the instructions in the original recipe sugar amount, replace the sugar with sugar substitute. If the sugar substitute is sucralose, then you can use the brand that has a cup for cup measurement.

3.For Saccharin, you can't use the same amount as for the original sugar in the recipe, but you will have to use amount recommended on the package to produce the same sweetness as the original amount of sugar. Example: Using a common packaged saccharine requires about 2 teaspoons to replace ¼ cup of sugar. Check the package instructions to determine the correct amount.

4.For Stevia Rebaudiana, follow the conversion information on the powder or liquid package to convert the sugar required to the Stevia Rebaudiana. Most powder uses 1/3 teaspoon of Stevia to replace 1 teaspoon of sugar. Check the package instructions to determine the correct amount.

5.Having chosen the type of sugar substitute, measure the correct amount to replace the sugar in the recipe and set aside.

6.Divide the amount for the total flour required into four parts. Combine the wheat gluten, whey protein, soy flour and ground almonds to replace the total original amount of flour. For example, if the original recipe contains 2 cups of flour, then use ½ cup of each of the four replacement ingredients and mix well. Set aside.

7.Follow the instructions in the original recipe, adding the leavening (baking powder or soda) and the flavoring, oil, margarine, etc.in the order requested. Add the sugar substitute and the flour replacement at the same points called for in the original recipe.
