@LeanFoodie5 күн бұрын
@@bellatobe thanks dear 🤍 yes, I would go for the same amount of almond flour here. And mb 80g of Greek yogurt instead of 100 to reduce amount of liquid ingredients since almond flour will not hold liquids like regular flour)) I would start from that. When changing regular flour for almond its also better to add one more egg since we need something to hold the shape of the donuts instead of regular flour. (Typical formula for swapping regular flour for any of the nut flours is - same amount of flour, a bit less liquids and one extra egg) But I think you can still try with one egg, and if donuts will be too delicate to hold the shape, next time add 2 eggs instead of just 1)) but I think 1 will be enough here 🤍 let me know how they will turn out 🙏🏻🤍 I’d be happy to hear that 🤍

@@polotino1828 thank you, dear! If you don’t want to drain your cottage cheese - thats fine for this recipe. You can still have a delicious buns without changing anything in the recipe but not draining cottage cheese. I am draining mine because I want to mimic the density of the original bagels, so I could load it with tons of fillings and spreads and the bagels will still hold the shape. (I don’t like when bread is soaking the spreads and starting falling apart). So if you won’t drain a cottage cheese it would be a bit harder for your bagels to hold their shape, but you can make a delicious and very moist buns instead. If you still want to keep bagels shape, I wouldn’t recommend almond or coconut flour - they will not only add extra calories but also add more moisture. Try rice flour or tapioca flour - they are the champions among the flours in terms of binding moisture inside your mixes)) you may also try to mix 60-80g of rice or regular flour and 5-10g of tapioca or 3-5g of psyllium for extra absorption.

Thanks so much! My sister eats a keto and low FODMAP diet, and I love experimenting in the kitchen. You are the first person I've seen using soluable corn fiber in recipies for their texture and sweetness benefits. Right now, I'm trying to make a healthier gummy candy. I also happen to be an ESL teacher, and 'marmalade' in English and French typically refers to a fruit spread made from citrus peels. Sometimes jam may be mislabled marmalade if someone is trying to sound more fancy. In Spanish marmalada just means jam or jelly, so sometimes you will find jams with multilingual lables also have 'marmalada' written on it. Jam is made with the crushed fruit, and may have some citrus zest to enhance the flavor, but in marmalade the peel is the main event. Jelly is basically thickened juice or strained fruit, thickened with pectin, in English; however, the word Jelly is also used in Asian languages to refer to the jello-like food made from agar agar or other plant-based thickeners, while gelatin or Jell-o in most western countries come from animal parts. 'Preserves' are similar to jam, only the fruit isn't crushed. If you thicken your jam or preserves, you will typically use pectin. I'd say yours would be considered a jam, although it has a lot of peel, or in the US we might also call it a butter. I don't know why we sometimes use the term butter for jams, but it is speciffically used for jams with a very smooth, creamy consitency from being pureed, and they are typically made with apples and winter squash. Butters do not use thickeners, they are thickened by cooking them for a long time, typically 6 hours. This also results in the sugars becomming carmelized, and most recipies call for brown sugar, and often spices like yours does. My grandmother used to make apple butter. Also, what you used for your recipe is not a pumkin, it is a butternut squash. Both pumpkin and butternut squash are 'winter squashes,' but most non-native English speakers only learn the workd pumpkin, probably because of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Dough is thick and can be formed and manipulated with your hands, like bread dough or cookie dough. Batter is thin and can be poured like for cake or waffles. You're pronuciation and grammar are great overall, by the way. You are very easy to understand. Kids often have stonger bitter taste buds, but tastbuds change over time. I made a habbit of trying foods I dodn't like every three years, and now I like most foods. There's a good chance your son will enjoy more veggies in the future, just get him to retry the sweeter veggies every now and again, and avoid the bitter ones until his taste buds start to change. There's also a youtuber or instagramer who does "sneaky veggie" series that might give you some inspiration. And if your son has digestive issues with a lot of veggies, I'd suggest reading up on the low FODMAP diet.

Caramel is literally cooked sugar and allulose IS A SUGAR. There is no "sugar-free" caramel.
@LeanFoodieАй бұрын
How offended would confectioners be, who have been perfecting their formulas for centuries, to hear that caramel is just burnt sugar! ))) But to answer your message substantively-yes, from a chemical standpoint, allulose is a monosaccharide since it was derived from fructose like regular sugar, but its chemical structure changes significantly during production, distinguishing it from sugar. (Maybe old-school chemists can still call allulose a sugar, but for me, it’s like saying humans and chimpanzees aren’t people and apes-we're all Homo habilis.)))) From a nutritional and functional perspective, it’s not considered either a total or added sugar. Legally, manufacturers CAN LABEL products made with allulose as sugar-free because allulose is not pure monosacharide, is not metabolized by the body, doesn’t add calories like sugar, doesn’t cause insulin spikes like sugar, and doesn’t lower the pH in the mouth, preventing cavity-causing bacteria from developing. So, it’s not considered as sugar, but it can still caramelize when heated.

Thanks, and what about izomalt? Can it dupe the Allulose here?
@LeanFoodieАй бұрын
Wooow, tricky question. Yes and nooo))) technically you can use isomalt. But I wouldn’t recommend it. its melting point is waaaaaay higher than Allulose or even erithritol. And the caramelisation point is even higher. It’s around 200 Celsius(400 Fahrenheit). So it’s very dangerous pouring liquids into such hot isomalt. It may start splashing around and may cause severe damage and burns. Even with erithritol I had to be extra cautious while it’s melting point is only 90 degrees. You can add food colouring and artificial caramel flavours to it, to avoid the process of heating it to the point of caramelisation. But it’s still dangerous to combine it with milk. Also isomalt is more calorie consuming ingredient than allulose. And the taste - allulose tastes like real sugar. And last point - fodmap thing - you can not eat a lot of isomalt per day. It may cause bloating and diarrhea if you exceed your daily limit. Allulose doesn’t have such side effects. 🤍

@@LeanFoodie thank you for the detailed answer! Now Allulose sounds like a perfect sweetener compared to all others!
@LeanFoodieАй бұрын
Yes, it's one of my favorite sweeteners. But I wouldn't say that allulose can replace everything. Each sweetener has its own nuances. I currently have three sweeteners for low-calorie desserts and sugar-free baking, and I use them all regularly. I use allulose for recipes where volume, a golden color, and a clean taste are needed. However, allulose never fully hardens like erythritol or isomalt. This can make cakes less stable-they won't hold their shape as well. In baking, I often mix allulose with erythritol to improve the properties of both sweeteners and reduce the amount of allulose used, as it's more expensive than erythritol. Both allulose and erythritol are not as sweet as sugar. So, I also have a liquid intense sweetener based on sucralose to adjust the sweetness of dishes to my taste.

Wow you really try your best to speak English to reach out to more viewers. Congratulations

I am, but to be honest - not sure what’s worse at the moment - my English or my insecurity in front of the camera 😂 i guess they both enhance each other. It’s a magic - aa soon as the camera rolls, my English disappears) It’s actually the main and selfish reason for me to start the channel - try to beat my camera insecurity and practice English. 💪🏻🤍

Where do you buy your Allulose and the skimmed milk powder? I'm from Germany and those ingredients are hard to find... Looks great btw!❤
@LeanFoodieАй бұрын
Thank you, dear! I am buying Skimmed milk powder at the German Amazon (search for bio magermilch pulver). It can also appear at some local organic healthy stores, but Amazon is just more convenient for me)) Unfortunately Allulose is not available in local EU stores, as well as monk fruit sweetener. I am ordering it to Germany from iherb) you can also find it on ebay, but with the taxes and the delivery price - iherb seems much more reasonable choice for me 🤍🙏🏻

Thank you for the recipe, I can't wit to try .. I have never had melon on a sandwich before - interesting😋 You have a beautiful sweet soft voice 🥰
@LeanFoodie2 ай бұрын
Thanks to you for the sweet comment) I love the flavour combo of melon with meat) If you'll like it - also try these bagels with watermelon, feta cheese and smoked meat like lean prosciutto. Bagel+watermelon+feta and mb some thyme - divine combo for my taste!))) My granny used to make us white bread sandwiches with watermelon and feta on top. Heavenly)) I just remade those childhood sandwiches into more diet ones)) But the memories and the taste are still wonderful )))

Love the video and I look forward to trying the recipe!! Is the carb count total or net? I was t sure of the fiber content
@LeanFoodie2 ай бұрын
Thank you, dear! Hope you’ll love it as much as I do) It’s total 17 carbs and 14,9 net carbs with my ingredients) giving us about 0,2 fiber for the whole bowl.
