Banting recipes – low carb, sugar free and gluten free. Banting recipes I have tried – those that have failed and those that have been a success! I am not a dietician, I'm just a gal who loves to cook banting food, and keep it as good as possible! Obviously all recommendations throughout this and other posts are not intended as an alternative, treatment, or prevention of diseases, medical treatments or advice. The reader takes full responsibility for counting nutritional information such as carbs, while trying any and all recipes :-)

6T ghee / butter (I used a combo of both) – softened

1/4t bicarb
1/4c xylitol
Directions
Combine all the ingredients until well mixed
Place wax paper in a bread tin
Put the mixture into the tin and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Bicarbonate of soda and baking powder are both leavening agents and expand when cooked helping products to rise. I’m sorry your shortbread crumbled so badly 😦 Perhaps next time you can try packing it in tighter in the baking pan before baking?
Hi
I used bicarb – it’s inportant to remember there is no gluten in any of these recipes so they aren’t exact replicas of the originals! Yes this is more crumbly but stayed together fairly well!!!

Hi francescapac…. Did your coconut shortbread not crumble? And did you use bicarbonate of soda or baking powder or both?

Could you use one egg to bind it?
