It’s time to jump up and down because you CAN have dessert on a low-net carb plan!
How you may ask? By making a few simple substitutions we can take our favorite desserts from high-sugar, high-calorie to low net carb, lower calorie. The good news, I promise to always give you dessert with the best flavor and easy ingredients, and you can use our same substitutes below in your favorite dessert recipes.
Substitute # 1: Carbquik
Carbquik is a staple in the Skinny Louisiana kitchen and works perfect in low-carb, diabetic- cooking since it is a high-fiber flour, yielding lower-net carbs than traditional all-purpose flour. Carbquik can be found at any Drug Emporium/Vitamin Plus stores. No Drug Emporium in your area? No problem, you can purchase Carbquik through Amazon by clicking here – https://amzn.to/2OcU7xU.
Carbquik can transform all your personal favorite recipes to low-net carb, high-fiber with a simple 1 to 1 ratio of flour to Carbquik. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of flour, use 1 cup of Carbquik in its place.
Substitute # 2: Swerve
For substituting sugar, I love using Swerve. Swerve is a New Orleans based product and sugar replacer that is non-GMO, zero-calorie, and non-glycemic. Its made from various fruits and root vegetables and measures just like sugar. With that said, per cup of sugar in your recipe, use 1 cup of Swerve. Serve is available at Drug Emporium/Vitamin Plus stores. If not available at your local store, you can perchase Swerve through Amazon by clicking here – https://amzn.to/2mHKScr.
Substitute # 3: Lily’s Mini Chocolate Chips
Our final secret is using Lily’s mini chocolate chips. These chocolate chips use stevia as result in a lower calorie count. You can find Lily’s of course at Drug Emporium.
Enjoy the recipe!
