Amy's 30-second Protein Cookie
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 scoop vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder, 1/6 cup
- 2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda *
- Water, about 3/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon
In a small microwaveable bowl, heat the butter in the microwave about 20 seconds or until melted. If you're using liquid Splenda, mix it into the melted butter now. Stir in the whey powder and granular Splenda as well as you can. It will be very dry. Gradually add some water, about 1/8 teaspoon at a time, just until you can form the mixture into a ball that isn't too sticky to handle. Keep the dough ball in the bowl and microwave on HIGH 15-30 seconds or until the dough puffs up. Don't over cook it or it will come out very dry. In my microwave it takes about 15 seconds or so. Cool and eat.
If you microwave the cookie for about 15 seconds you'll get a more tender, chewy cookie but it won't be very big. Microwaving it for closer to 30 seconds causes the dough to puff up almost twice as much but the cookie will be pretty dry and crumbly. The photo above shows a 15 second cookie and the photo below is how they look after 25-30 seconds of cooking.
Makes 1 cookie
Can be frozen
* If you don't have liquid Splenda, you could use a little Da Vinci syrup in place of the water and Splenda.

BBQ Sauce
- 3/8 cup vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce. (1 15 oz can) Don't buy a tomato sauce that has spices or flavorings in it!
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoon yellow hot dog mustard
- 3/4 tablespoon Franks Hot Sauce (the chicken wing sauce)
- 3/4 tablespoon salt (optional)
- 1 dash cayenne pepper. Go easy!!!!
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
- 6 teaspoons Splenda or 18 drops of Liquid Splenda
Add vinegar and all other ingredients except mustard to a sauce pan and slowly heat. Put mustard in a cup and slowly stir in a couple tablespoons of sauce until well blended. Then add mustard mixture back to sauce in pan.
Bring to a boil, and lower heat. Let simmer for a few minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate.
Note: this sauce will taste a bit peculiar if you taste it when it is still hot. Don't worry! Something magical happens when it sits in the fridge.
Carbohydrates per Serving (1 tablespoon): Less than 1 gram. Half an ounce is 1 gm carbs, 6 calories.

Better than the Boxed Stuff Homemade Low Carb Pancakes
No hidden carbs, great flavor, and a texture that is very close to the real thing.
The recipe below takes one egg and makes 2 pancakes. Double or triple it to make more.
- 2.5 tablespoons vanilla protein powder. I use Precision Engineered.
- 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (I use sunflower)
- 1 tablespoon DaVinci Sugar Free Syrup, flavor of your choice. I use Vanilla, Caramel or English Toffee. (You can substitute 1 teaspoon Splenda with 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tablespoon water)
- 2 tablespoons water
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg, oil, Syrup or Splenda, and water. If batter is too thick to pour easily, add another tablespoon or two of water to thin out. Stir. Fry in a pan or griddle as you would regular pancakes. Turn when bubbles appear at edges.
Serve with Maple Grove Farms "Cozy Cottage" sugar free Maple Syrup, 1 gm sorbitol per tablespoon.
For two pancakes made with DaVinci syrup: 1 g carb 0 gm fiber.16 g protein. 14 g fat. 197 calories.

Crispy Peanut Butter Protein Bars
This recipe mimics Peanut Butter Cliff Bars.
Ingredients: - 1 cup Whey Protein Isolate
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 5 cups puffed crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups coconut
- 2 cups crunchy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup honey
- mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
In food processor, process oatmeal, rice cereal, coconut, and protein powder until mixture becomes coarse meal (if some of the ingredients are still whole, that’s fine – don’t keep processing and make a powder). Transfer to large mixing bowl. Stir in protein powder. Set aside.
Either on the stove top on low heat or in the microwave heat the peanut butter, butter, and honey. Add peanut butter mixture to dry ingredients just until fully combined.
Pat mixture firmly into a well greased 9” x 13” glass pan; let cool complete for 2-4 hours. Cut into bars and individually wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap or store in air tight container.

Homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Bars
These are quite rich and creamy chocolate bars that melt in your mouth. No glycerine or maltitol, no hidden carbs.
Ingredients: - 3 Tbsp. Whey Protein
- 3 Tbsp. Soy Protein
- 1 square bakers unsweetened chocolate
- 1 Tbsp. psyllium husks
- 1 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut or almond meal
- 1 Tbsp. SugarTwin brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Splenda
- 5 drops Stevia
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp. peanut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. mint extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup crushed pecans (optional)
Directions:
In a microwave-safe plastic dish, microwave the chocolate square for 1 minute on high. It should almost be melted or half-way through. Add peanut butter on top and microwave for 1 minute on high. Add cream and microwave for 1.5 minutes on high (make sure the cream starts boiling, it has to be hot, or the bars will become powdery).
Sprinkle the psyllium husks first on the hot mixture, this helps solidify the bars. Add the rest of the ingredients on top. Use a hand mixer to mix the entire mixture until uniform. This will be a hard mixture and may get stuck inside the mixers, just scoop it up with a spoon.
Use a square non-stick plastic plate (I use the top of a ziploc disposable cover), about 5×5 inches, but any non-stick surface should do. Spread the mixture on top of it, and press with the bottom of a spoon to make it evenly spread.
Freeze for an hour, and then place in the fridge until ready to use. I cut it into 4 bars.
Note: If you don’t have all the above sweeteners, use any sweetener you have to taste. Mixing different sweeteners intensifies the sweetening effect, and requires a lesser amount of the sweetener.
