Low Carb Malt Loaf

I've been struggling for the past month or so trying to keep to a low carb diet.   Energy levels have been low and I have no motivation for cooking at all.   After sharing this on the MSE Low Carb Diet thread a friend posted this recipe for Low Carb Malt Loaf.  It is just what I needed, quick and easy to make.  It makes an ideal quick and easy lunch.

Low Carb Malt Loaf

 

3 med eggs

4 tbsp water

4 tbsp double cream

12 tbsps ground flax( or can mix part ground almonds, part flax0

1.5 tsps baking powder

 4 dried figs chopped

6 walnut halves, chopped

pinch salt

mixed spice

Use a microwaveable lunch container - 750 ml type

Lightly beat eggs water & cream.

Separately mix flax, baking powder, salt, & spices

Add flax mix to beaten eggs and mix well.  If necessary add more water to get a good, thick, smooth batter feel.

Add chopped figs and walnuts.

Cook for 5 minutes or so on full power in microwave.  You'll have to check by turning out.  if still wet on the bottom, put back in container upside down for 1 min.  Turn out onto cooling rack and allow to cool. 

Around 30 carb for the lot.

I have 12 slices from mine at an amazing 2.5g carb each.

Lovely toasted with butter

Will keep once cooled in an airtight container for at least 4 days.
