I have a recipe or two that calls for Dr. Atkins bake mix. Now I've tried this stuff and IMHO it is yucky ... !

Is there anything I can use as a substitute? I'm sure it's a combination of various flours & stuff but I have no idea what they would be. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No suggestions but I agree it is awful! I have a can sitting in the cupboard never to see the light of day again.

I just bought a can, wasn't cheap either! Keto makes one don't they? I bought the Atkins so I would have something to coat cat fish in to fry. Has anyone tried that?

No I haven't used any of those mixes (except for the Dr. A. one). I use crushed up pork rinds to coat my meat. I use pork rinds for a lot of things, they're very versitile and they have 0 carbs. Yippee ... !

I made chicken fried steak with ground pork rinds last night. With no food processor I found them a pain to grind. Doesn't mean I wont us them again tho

Ladybug555, I put the pork rinds in a ziplock bag and use the rolling pin on it. Doesn't take much time that way. Have you tried that?

here's a recipe for a bake mix substitute. The soy is an acquired taste so I haven't bothered with it for a long time.

Low Carb Bake Mix

Recipe By : Low Carb Canada with adaptations


1 cup soy flour, lowfat
2 cups GeniSoy Ultra-XT Protein Powder -- * see note
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons Splenda
1 teaspoon salt

Sift together then store and use as you would Dr. A's. It's much cheaper and things come out about the same.
Makes 3 cups

Nutritional numbers for entire recipe: 1631.4 calories, 9.7 grams fat, 119.9 grams carbs, 85.8 grams fiber, 361grams protein.
1 cup mix~ 11.4 carbs and 120.3 gr. protein
**You could try substituting soya powder (milder taste) for the soy flour and substituting egg protein for soy.{LC Canada}

Note from author: I used a Soy Protein Powder by GeniSoy. It is fat free, 0 carbs, 6 grams fiber per scoop.You could use Soy Protein Isolate as was used in the original recipe.I also used the "lowfat" soy flour NOT the "defatted" kind.
1 scoop of mix is equal to 2 1/2 Tablespoons.
I'm impressed with the aroma of the mix....not strong at all!!

Thanks for you help, much appreciated.
