Kimkins Low Carb Protein Rolls

Missing bread on your low carb diet? There's plenty of low carb bread recipes on the 'net, but this one submitted by a Kimkins member is one of the best -- and lowest!

These aren't sticky like other variations and the addition of protein powder gives each roll the protein equivalent of an egg!

Ingredients (makes 12)

6 eggs separated, plus 2 egg whites
1 scoop Designer Whey protein powder
6 Tbsp 2% fat cottage cheese
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 Tbsp granulated Splenda
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat to 300 degrees. In a very clean metal mixing bowl whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. The bowl must not have any fat or the whites won't whip stiff.

In your Magic Bullet blender mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese, Splenda, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whip until well blended, then add to egg whites and gently fold in.

Line your baking pan with a reusable silicone Silpat liner to prevent sticking or use cooking spray. Spoon into "rolls" and bake for 1 hour. Make a double batch because these freeze well. Wrap individually before freezing or they'll stick.

Slice in half to make the sandwiches above for the calories and carbs shown.
