Synopsis

Ready for healthy and easy breakfasts (or snacks any time of day)—straight from the freezer to the toaster? "Wake Up to Toaster Cakes" includes 37 new and original gluten-free, low-carb, sugar-free recipes like Lemon Blueberry, Orange Cranberry, Almost Buckwheat Pancakes, Spicy Chai, and Wild Oats Toaster Cakes. Savory flavors include Rosemary Onion, Boston Brown Bread, and Irish Soda Toaster Cakes. Plus 13 recipes for spreads that are just as healthy.You won’t find these recipes anywhere else!"Wake Up to Toaster Cakes" includes recipes for special-diet baking—but they taste so good you won’t know they’re good for you! “Life's too short to eat gruel in the name of healthy,” McDaniel explains. “One of my must-have ingredients is joie de vivre.” By using a combination of dry ingredients—almond and oat flours, ground flax seed, whey and stevia powder—plus unsweetened almond milk, McDaniel created recipes with low carbs (just 7 carbs per cake) and higher protein (6 grams per cake). And she found recipes work just as well with two egg whites as one whole egg, resulting in an impressive 1.5 grams of cholesterol (from the whey). To make these toaster cakes vegan, simply use egg substitutes and replace the whey powder with pea powder or soy flour.Not a baker? McDaniel uses ingredients that are easy to find in grocery stores or online. If you don’t want to invest in some of the more unusual ingredients before you’ve tried making your own toaster cakes, McDaniel has developed a Quick-Start Recipe. This recipe shows you how to make toaster cakes with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. “Not just for breakfast, toaster cakes are perfect for coffee breaks, afternoon tea, and strawberry shortcake,” McDaniel adds. “Savory toaster cakes are good any time of day. They brighten a bowl of soup for lunch and make a tasty dinner roll—no matter what your diet. And hey, if you don’t have to watch what you eat, you’ll still love them. No harm in saving some carbs or cholesterol—that just means you can smear them with more butter and jam!”"What a gem! Wake Up to Toaster Cakes" offers something new to add true flair to any meal, not just breakfast. These toaster cakes are treats no matter which of the mouth-watering flavors you choose. Best of all, they fit right into today’s mix of diet plans and food preferences, from low-carb to gluten-free to low grain. Having read Lynda’s other books, fiction and nonfiction, I know for certain you’ll enjoy her reassuring, light touch writing and her enthusiasm for her toaster cakes. Try it, you’ll like it! — Virginia McCullough, award-winning author, ghostwriter, publishing consultant

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I've been baking since I was a kid and writing professionally for 30+ years. I figured it was time to combine the two! As a kid, I made cakes top-heavy with icing and brownies that burned on the bottom. But I kept at it, and pretty soon I’d mastered it. Later, I moved to a small farm and perfected bread-making and working with more natural ingredients. Then came the issues with gluten and cholesterol. As a good baker, though, I felt up to the challenge. Okay, my first attempts at muffins and cakes were flat, flabby, and boring. And tasted gummy. With a little finagling and patience, though, I overcame those obstacles and made light and fluffy gluten-free, low-cholesterol goodies. Yeah, well, every silver lining has a cloud. I wondered why my waistband was pinching more and more every year. When I took a good look at the GF ingredients I was using—and the ingredients in store-bought gluten-free products—I realized they were loaded with empty calories and carbs in ingredients such as potato starch, tapioca starch, white rice flour, and so on. But without all those lightweight ingredients, gluten-free baking can be tough—literally and figuratively. Muffins or rolls could fail to rise and end up gummy in the middle. Ugh! Enter toaster cakes—a combination of my cooking skills and can-do attitude. They're delicious and nutritious. When I'm not in the kitchen, I spend most of my workdays writing books. I'm currently working on my 17th book, the sequel to A Life for a Life: A Mystery Novel. Both books are part of a trilogy that shares funny, moving, and surprising stories from my early years living in Appalachia.
