Avant Research introduces the SuperCarb Baking Contest!!

[Sir Savage]

Hey y'all,

As most of you know, SuperCarb is probably the best overall source of carbohydrates out there. It's a suitable carb source for a variety of things, including bulking up, cutting down, carb loading for an athletic competition, and yep, even BAKING.

With the latter in mind, here's the deal-

We want you to create SuperCarb recipes that are tasty, innovative, and healthier than the "real" alternatives. Make SuperCarb brownies, SuperCarb cookies, SuperCarb jello, or whatever you think you can make work with SuperCarb. Hell, if you can pull off a SuperCarb pizza, do it.

Submit your SuperCarb recipes in this thread. You can submit only one recipe, so make sure it's your best one. You must state the step by step directions AND take pictures of the final product.

In addition, and this is VERY important, SuperCarb is your ONLY source of carbs for this contest, besides flour. Do NOT use any other carb source in your recipes, such as table sugar. You can also use zero calorie sweeteners to go along with SuperCarb.

Furthermore, if you submit the same recipe, ingredient for ingredient, as someone else, preference will be given to the original poster if it comes down to it. My advice- try not to submit the exact same thing as someone else.

Once everyone has created and submitted their recipes, we'll ask the public in a new thread to pick the top 3 most interesting recipes. Then, I'll take those top 3 recipes and recreate each one, using YOUR step by step directions (so make sure they're good). I'll then decide who the winner is via taste test.

The winner will receive $150 worth of free Avant Research supplements from us AND will gain a bit of notoriety by being mentioned in our SuperCarb Recipes blog(s) on our website in the future.

Oh, and if you've previously posted a SuperCarb recipe before, you can use it in this contest if you want to, as long as it meets the above qualifications.

Contest begins....

now!

Ask any questions you want.

[Sir Savage]

BTW, preference will be given to recipes using healthier flours.

[rpen22]

This should be fun.

[Stay Puft]

Too many bro's here with no game in the kitchen -- coooome on?!?

[Sir Savage]

Ok guys, important announcement-

The deadline for recipes is Feb. 15.

After that, we'll pick finalists, then have the taste test.

Just got my tub of supercarb in the mail and I'll be stopping by Whole Foods on my way back from the gym. Just one question how proficient is the person duplicating the recipes in regards to culinary skills?

That's a good question. As far as I know, it will either be Tony or Caleb testing these for the contest so I'll bump this question for T.

[Sir Savage]

Er, not very in my case, but I'll do my best.

And if I f*ck up, I'll do it again until I get it right. It's not fair to the contestant if I'm messing up.

That's why I need not only good step by step directions, but at least one pic of the final product so I know if it looks right.

[wojo]

scratched because i suck in the kitchen..lol

[Sir Savage]

Nice one. Look forward to the pic.

Actually, that does look pretty healthy.

And simple.

[wojo]

yea i am scratching it..it didnt turn out too well..the original recipe called for honey...i am sure someone could tweak it but i am def not that versatile in the kitchen..lol

[warnerve]

i bet super carb and cookies and cream muscle milk would be delicious...does that count? if you blend some ice cubes it'd be a milkshake

[Sir Savage]

Ha! Well, er, if that's the best you can do, I suppose I'll allow it...

"Banana Ice Cream with peanut butter fudge chunks drizzled with caramel sauce and adorned with supercarb lace."

Banana Ice Cream
6 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup supercarb simple syrup
1 large vanilla bean or 1tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Place bananas in freezer and freeze overnight. Remove bananas from freezer and allow to thaw. Peel bananas and place in bowl of food processor with the lemon juice. Process for 10 to 15 seconds. Add supercarb syrup and vanilla bean seeds and turn processor on. Pour in the heavy cream, process until smooth. Chill mixture in fridge for an 1 or 2. Transfer mixture to an ice cream make. Place mixture in an airtight container and freeze for 3 to 6 hours before serving.

Peanut butter fudge
Non-stick vegetable spray
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups supercarb
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease with vegetable spray. Put the milk and supercarb in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Boil over medium heat, occasionally stirring to keep from sticking. Cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat and gently place the butter, peanut butter and vanilla in the pan, taking care not to disturb the syrup. Do not stir. Let the mixture cool down for 5 minutes, then beat vigorously with a spoon or the flat beater of a stationary mixer until dense and smooth. Turn the fudge into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a metal spatula. With a sharp knife, score into portions. Let set, 45 minutes then cut into 1 1/3-inch squares.

Caramel Sauce
2 cups supercarb
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup light cream


Combine the supercarb and water in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot around, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and looks like syrup, about 8 minutes. Carefully pour in the cream (it will bubble up) and continue to cook for another minute. Cool to room temperature.

Supercarb Lace
1/2 cup supercarb
Melt 1/2 cup of supercarb until it reaches a light golden brown hue. Form doodads by holding the spoon 12 to 16 inches over the melted supercarb and drizzling the patterns on the parchment. (Hint: allow the spoon to unload into the pan for a few seconds before attempting doodad. This will allow a narrower stream.) Quick back and forth motions or side to side movements are best. It's all in the wrist. Allow doodads to cool for 15 minutes then peel the paper off.

Suck it Racheal Ray :burg::burg:

[rpen22]

Hot Damn!! NICE work!

[Sir Savage]

Whoa!! Rippedforce bringing it hardcore!

But what's "supercarb simple syrup"?

Also, which one do you want to officially submit for the contest? I'll post the others on the website when the time comes and give you credit, obviously, but only one submission per contestant.

[rippedforce63]

Well I guess the banana ice cream although its going to be lacking the peanut butter fudge chunks if thats the only one counting. Supercarb simple syrup is 2/3 cup of supercarb and 1/3 cup water reduced down over a low flame till it reaches a corn syrup consistancy.

[Sir Savage]

Oh ok, this is all one recipe? You put the fudge chunks in with the ice cream?

[rippedforce63]

yeah I got the idea from the peanut butter and banana sandwiches I ate as a kid. But if you see the fudge as a seperate recipe I could substitute a 1/2 cup a natty peanut butter drizzled into the ice cream while in the mixer and it would have the same effect. Thats my bad I tend to think of the dish on a whole when I'm cooking and baking and don't break it down into its components.

[Sir Savage]

Oh, no, that's fine. I thought they were separate recipes. It's no prob.

Just make sure it's as clear as possible that it's all one recipe, how to combine them all together, etc.
