Bamboo Fiber Experiment on my Keto Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

[@stephaniepotts9410]

When I sub Bamboo fiber, I swap it for coconut flour in recipes in a 1:1 ratio. For example, I make your chocolate donuts, I sub out 30 g of coconut flour and use 30g bamboo fiber. I just made these yesterday...better than a store bought chocolate donut. They were soft and tasted great. Your recipe was always great, but the bamboo made it even better! It also worked in your pizzelles recipe.

in what way was the bamboo fiber better?

[@stephaniepotts9410]

@@allisonjones7549 Taste and texture, especially taste..lower net carb too

[@KetoUpgrade]

This really surprises me because bamboo fiber is way less absorbent than coconut flour. I will have to test it. Thanks for letting me know. It is lower carb but the problem for me is the 3x as high of price for the bamboo fiber.

Great work. Nice mix of commentary and demonstration. Also, the editing is helpful where you add written comments over video to make small clarifications. This is the type of vid that could be watched multiple times as a follow-along in the kitchen. PS: I love using bamboo fiber to keep the carb count down wherever I can. Always like seeing it pop up in keto baking recopies. .

Good morning, Alicia. This is not about the biscuits, but I will be making these biscuits soon. It's about your thumb print cookies, which has become my go to cookie recipe. You can change a few ingredients and have a completely different flavor. I've come up with a variant that our Bible study group really love. I use vanilla whey protein powder, cake batter extract instead of vanilla extract, allulose plus 3 more tablespoons and then pecans, sugar free milk chocolate chips and a tablespoon of cinnamon. Ooh, it's so good. 🌻❤🌻

This is what I want, giving people the knowledge to take my recipe and make the recipes you've been missing!!! Yay, so glad you were able to make a delicious new cookie.

Have you seen KZbin channel bamboo love ? I made her yeasted pizza dough and it tastes like domino thin crust and you don’t need a list of different ingredients super simple! I can’t wait to try more of her recipes!!! Game changer and I got zero Bloat and no spike in my blood sugar (I wear monitor)

[@tamarajans]

I wondered if the large amount of bamboo fiber in bamboo love videos would be hard on the tummy? I usually need to keep reducing bamboo fiber to get it low enough to avoid the after-sensation we get that we don’t like. Not sure if it’s my brand that’s the problem. Do you ever have an issue with that after-sensation (kinda like erythritol, but that’s more of a cooling sensation… and I hate erythritol).

[@cathypang1984]

Oh my gosh, I have made so many recipes from Bamboo Love. Her bamboo baking flour is simple, and her recipes are great! I just made her brownies and refrigerated them for 24 hrs. and the texture and taste were superb! My husband loves them, and my picky daughter likes them, too! They are truly to die for😊. The bagels I made into rolls, the Danish was oh-so-yummy, the yeast pizza was very good(oops ate the WHOLE thing) and I have made her chocolate sweet rolls...delicious 😋

[@KetoUpgrade]

Never heard of that channel but I do get stomach upset from too much bamboo fiber. I've been working on a pizza crust but I've never had Dominos. Here in Buffalo NY there are no fast food pizza places left because Buffalo pizza is so good and I am trying to make something similar to Buffalo style pizza crust. It is being very difficult though, been working on it for 4 years.

I'm a home baker and the 2 things I loved making most were biscuits and pancakes. Lol So I'm a connoisseur of both. Plus my husband and our 5 children LOVE both! 🤭 Those are the 2 things I just can't seem to replace on keto. We just love the texture of the real thing too much. Frankly, I don't do much keto baking for that reason. But you're baked goods all look wonderful. Over the last 20+ years I've experimented with different types of dairy to replace buttermilk from heavy cream or half and half to sour cream, cream cheese and Greek yogurt. I've learned by texture how to achieve the results we love. My favorite was Greek yogurt. I'd also brush the tops of the biscuits with it and always got a nice, gently browned, slightly shiny finish. My husband, who is diabetic, couldn't resist stealing at least 2 as part of his monthly splurge. I still make them sometimes for the kiddos. You might have some luck with it. Thanks for continuing to share your wonderful recipes. I still haven't tried your puff pastry but am excited to after enjoying your wonderful cookies. ❤ Btw, I see the baby weight coming off. Congrats!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thanks for the tip about greek yogurt!! Hope you enjoy them if you make them!

[@carnivorewhisperer5823]

I made America's Test Kitchen Dream Biscuits (cross between a drop biscuit and a cream biscuit) using Victoria's New Standard Keto Flour 2.0 as a replacement for the regular flour. They came out fluffy and delicious. You can use either Bamboo Fiber or Oat Fiber for her flour and they both work and taste equally as good, so they appear to be interchangeable in a recipe provided you follow the amount of grams required for each one.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Only if you use almond flour or pecan. I tried making here keto flour with coconut flour and it didn't work. I don't use almond or other nut flours. I know that works I watch high falutin low carbs videos. But again i don't think a keto flour will work for every recipe.

I really appreciate all the logic and explaining of your thought process and expereiences in these long form videos. It's not confusing, it's informative. You end up answering questions that I didn't know I had. Giving justification for ingredients makes me more likely to want to try them for their properties because I know WHY I am using them and it's not a black box mystery. I enjoy watching your videos even when making a food that I don't intend to make myself, because it is a learning experience. You remind me of chef Jacques Pépin in the way you make everything understandable and easy for regular people to recreate amazing dishes and foods.

[@tamarajans]

You’re awesome! Bamboo fiber kinda confounds me. It’s been the answer to my prayers (lol) for fluffiness, but the taste doesn’t always work… We find it causes a sort of ‘after… burn’… sorta. Like an aftertaste, but more of a sensation. So, I am very gratefully attached to it, on one hand… and struggling with it on the other. So it’s a never ending tweaking process. Also, my stomach is easily bothered and the bamboo fiber can do that. Though after a first few bites, that often settles down. I’m a huge whimp with that. 🤷‍♀️🤓 Which brings me to my very favourite bit of info in this video. WHEY PROTEIN POWDER. I don’t know why on earth I kinda steered around that (maybe cuz I tried it in a DIY keto cookie I made 20 yrs ago, and didn’t like the taste… though it coulda been another of the 47 ingredients. lol.) It’s been awesome in ‘beer battered fish,’ (thank you to the keto gods), so I’m just discovering how great it can be. Especially after what you’ve just taught me about it. ❤ Thank you so much! ❤

It is also a power hub for their optional whisk and mini food processor accessories, which saves me from having to use (and clean) my stand mixer or large food processor when preparing only 1-2 servings.

You can sub one for the other. I don't think they will work as a dumpling in soup because the butter would just leak out. I've tested a few time for soup dumplings but haven't figured out a recipe yet.

Looks good! Can't figure out why you'd add sweetener to biscuits, though. My Mom made 'baking powder biscuits' a lot, and the recipe didn't call for sugar. These make me think of scones.

[@PinkLady54]

with wheat being all starch it is sweeter than non starch flours. Same with dairy - when we sub dairy out with non-carb versions we need add sweetener to get same end result.

White wheat flour has a slight sweet element to its flavor, and that's the flour we're trying to mimic in low carb cooking.
