Low Carb Dukan Diet Bread

  (Sorry, I took a couple of bites before I remembered to take a photo!)

 

Dukan Diet Bread

On the low carb Dukan Diet (which is what I follow) you are allowed oat bran. Oat bran lowers the "bad" LDL cholesterol. It slows down sugar assimilation and actually removes calories from the body by reducing absorption of fat. It also keeps blood sugar levels low and stable. 

This bread is much tastier than other low carb breads, it is quick and simple to make and contains healthy ingredients to promote weight loss. 

Here is the recipe:

Dukan Bread

2 TBS oat bran

1 TBS wheat bran

1 tsp baking powder

2 TBS + 1 tsp fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1 egg white

Olive oil or vegetable oil, preferably in a mister

  

Optional flavorings (add all, combinations or none and keep it simple):

Pinch of salt

Granulated garlic

Basil

Grated Parmesan cheese

Chia seeds

1.      Mix all ingredients. Lightly spray a microwave safe dish with vegetable or olive oil. (I use a 9x9) Spread mixture in the dish. It will not cover the whole bottom, so I just shape it into a rectangle that is 4x9. You want it at lease 1/8” thick.

2.      Set on high and cook for 4 minutes. Be sure to check after 3 because all microwaves are different. If you accidentally overcook it, you have crackers and they are delicious too!

3.      Remove bread from the dish and place on a cooling rack.

4.      Once cool, cut into two slices.

5.      You can leave it as bread or place it in your toaster for a toasted sandwich or crackers.

NOTE: This bread is not allowed until the Cruise Phase because it contains 3 tablespoons of bran. Attack phase only allowes for 1.5 tablespoons total.
