Low-carb Meatloaf Recipes

[ysabetwordsmith]

I got curious and discovered that both flax meal and chia seeds are used in low-carb meatloaves. Also some of these sound damn good.

Ok, I'll admit I never thought of adding SEEDS to a meatloaf.... I'll have to get some flaxseed and chiaseed and see how they taste.

Crushed pork rinds + egg + uhhhhh banana maybe? = LC PANCAKES! :)

Have yet to crack sweetener-free syrup, tho :(

Sunflower seeds, pepitas, and walnuts also work. Almond meal is used in some recipes instead of bread crumbs.

Flaxseed has kind of a dark flavor. Chia doesn't taste like much at all to me -- we use it to make something akin to tapioca pudding. The problem is it doesn't flavor up very easily. I wind up just putting an already flavored liquid into it; hot chocolate powder works well, as do yogurt beverages.

Oooo, a maple syrup alternative! Ok, I think I can try working with that recipe at least. Thanks! :)

By all means, start there if it's something you love.

The simple syrup recipes are valuable because then you can flavor them with whatever extracts or spices you want. Frex, orange extract and zest instead of using frozen orange juice as a syrup base, or apple flavor and cinnamon.

Ground beef and pork rinds! *drool* Yes please.

For that matter, ground venison and pork rinds... the kind with the chili powder on...
