Steve, with your voice and presentation style you could sell just about anything. Courtney is a rising star! Great combo. She could sell Keto life style to the younger generation. God knows they need it. I went from being a fit and healthy young man to a less healthy and less athletic fat middle aged man. I stayed that way until three years ago when I discovered keto while searching for a medical/nutritional solution to pre-diabetes and heart disease. Today, I’m 70 years old, fit, healthy, and 2 lbs less than I was at 18.
Your videos are fantastic. Yes I subscribed and share your videos with my family. Your chaffles are great!
Sorry to ramble, just want you to know you make a positive difference!
Thank you for the kind words and congrats on your transformation!
I think I like the videos with Courtney in them the best. I think it's because she's adds a "second opinion," and because she she is so honest. Steve might say... "Hmmm... This one is not my favorite." Whereas Courtney will straight-up say... "Yuck!!! This one's gross!" If a teenager says something is "gross," for some reason that is all I need to know to not buy it. But sometimes, she might say "I don't like this one..." but if Steve's reaction is even moderately positive... I might still buy that product, but with realistically low expectations. It is also just undeniably endearing to see a father-daughter combo. It's very genuine. :)
I have the Birchbenders keto and paleo pancake mix. In terms of taste and texture they seem to be the same for me. What I don't like about the pancakes (for both) is how moist (actually wet) they are, no matter how much I reduce the water or how long I cook them. Then I tried the waffle iron. That was much better! They were relatively dry and crisp.
Excellent video! Thanks.
You review all the stuff I am interested in getting and trying. Man I am so glad I found your channel!
Hopefully I'm saving you money by directing you away from stuff that's not great.
@@SeriousKeto You certainly are. Thank you!
We picked these up after watching your video and tried out the keto mixture for pancakes and waffles. Loved using it for pancakes, but I agree completely that it wasn’t the best for waffles. It did however give me an idea for lunch. That cornmeal consistency worked great for fish patties! Instead of salmon, we used a can of tuna not drained, an egg, and a third a cup of the keto mixture! I also added a little chopped onion into mine and then fried. Holy smokes! A little sugar free ketchup on top and it was amazing! Will definitely be a regular now! Thanks for the idea!
Awesome suggestion. Thanks!
Great video Steve and Courtney!
Simple Mills has an amazing waffle/pancake mix. It is a bit higher in carbs, but it tastes like the real thing and is mostly almond flour and coconut flour.
Wow, really great content you have on your channel. I would like to see the mix with added cornbread extract/flavouring done. You know holidays are coming soon...I have yet to find a great keto dressing. I have seen a couple different brands of cornbread flavouring but I have yet to try them. Thanks for sharing your time, information and reviews! I a new sub :)
Birch Benders PANCAKE AND WAFFLE MIXES ARE THE ONLY ones I make. I skip around and have used every variation they make. NEVER disappointed in the taste or fluffy nature to them!
They are so good! Worth the price
I know this is a few years old but I just found you a little while ago. Anyhow, I Had the keto mix yesterday. I used it on my dash mini waffle maker. I put some heavy cream in there and added some Powdered Swerve and a little English Toffee stevia. It was so good!!!!
Although the internet is comprised , in my opinion , of the good , the bad and the ugly , it is most helpful when faced with an unfamiliar term . I googled Tiger Nuts and found good questions and informative answers . The Tiger Nut flour is "a starchy flour made from root vegetables , and not nuts , as the name implies...is similar to almond flour in taste and texture...its high fiber content of Tiger Nuts may initially cause unpleasant gas and bloating...increase their portions gradually...Rich in magnesium , Tiger Nut is good for women suffering from hair loss , etc...and , in foods like Tiger Nuts , whole grains , seeds and legumes , they have been found to lower serum LDL cholesterol by 8-10% , when combined with a healthy lifestyle and exercise..." FYI
I'm seriously enjoying your channel and content ! You have been most helpful to one whose general Keto-ish endeavors has already reduced my borderline A1C back to NORMAL !!!
Thank you !!! Be safe and well ! This is , indeed , a family effort to help us !
Thanks for the review! I just ordered some Carbquik that you reviewed before and anxious to try it. Your daughter is too cute!
Once you get it, try out Keto Connect's air fryer biscuit recipe, but use Carbquik instead of almond flour (same amount). ruclips.net/video/zsCycfsRxtE/видео.html I strongly suggest using silicone muffin molds.
Great video. Please ignore the negativity, you and your daughter make a great team. I found it funny that people commented in the past of you taking big bites and your daughter was doing the same thing LOL. I eat the same way, too fast and big bites......so my wife says. But what does she know? Keep rolling out the videos!
Thru experimenting, I added some vanilla almond milk in with the water of the keto mix and it is less crumbly. I also added some vanilla extract & cinnamon and it tastes so much better
I bought this on the Amazon flash sale the other day and made waffles out of it and they were fantastic. After hearing your review, I added about a tablespoon of egg whites and 1/2 teas. of psyllium husk powder. I didn't mind the wee bit of crumbling that happened. It really wasn't bad at all and the taste was very good. Oh, and I added some cinnamon to one of them. I'll do it that way from now on.
Excellent video!
I appreciate these comparisons and consider how to adjust for improvement.
I suspect the Keto + gluten would give better taste and texture.
oooh!! love thus Cornbread idea. I really only miss cornbread in my keto journey. Looking good!!!
Around the time I filmed this, I tried several different attempts at making a cornbread I could be proud of. I was not successful. And I burned out on cornbread. I'll give it another stab one of these days.
I added an egg, vanilla extract, salt, erythritol, and cinnamon to the keto mix .. It was bomb
That sounds like a winner.
I tried their keto product but for some reason it made me feel like I had ate regular pancakes in regards to my gluten sensitivities. If that weren’t an issue I think this product flavour wise would lend itself more to biscuits because it had a savoury taste to me.
I just purchased the birch benders chocolate chip keto pancake and waffle mix gonna try Tom morning I lost 5 pounds on keto in month it works
Dang it I’m watching this during my 48 hour fast it’s over tomorrow morning I might have to make this chaffle
thx for the vid I have had about 6 of the keto waffles up till now and have found at first exactly what you did, grainy crumbly, too dry. My war department adjusted the temp up (i believe) and it made a significant difference in texture and is much more bread like now, just for what its worth! I am surprised you both dumped syrup and butter on the two products before you tasted the food you are testing!
Isn't that how you're supposed to eat a waffle? 🙂
Cortney looks a lot like I did at her age. I've always tended toward keeping my hair long, but seeing her in this video makes me realize A short hair cut could look really cute on the both of us! I know this has nothing to do with Belgian Waffles, but I had to say it. 😀
I'm here just for the syrup pour-and-fork skills.
I have both and I liked the keto for pancakes
I've found that I like the keto in situations where I'm using my corn dog maker.
When using almond flour can you let the mix sit for a bit so it can absorb more liquid maybe? Or ground the package mix a bit before adding the liquids? Something should help it so it is not so gritty.
This is an old video. I've subsequently developed (with the help of a viewer) an amazing pancake batter (it still needs some tweaking for waffles). ruclips.net/video/XhjqRNuzQpk/видео.html
I’ve tried both of these and quite honestly, I couldn’t tell much difference but I did add an egg to the mixture in both as a binder and help with the texture. Personally I will stick with the keto version because of the lower carb count. I’m also going to try Carbquik. For the amount you get versus price compared to Birch Benders, it seems to be a win win.
The clean keto folks object to CarbQuik due to it having some canola oil in it, but I’ve made some amazing biscuits with it.
Serious Keto yeah I get a little “dirty” with my keto from time to time. I don’t eat pancakes, waffles, keto biscuits, etc everyday, so using Carbquik sparingly shouldn’t be a big deal, but we do have the “clean” keto police out there to deal with. Lol.
The recipes on the box are not great, in my experience. But when I've substituted CarbQuik for almond flour in certain applications, I've had great results. I've also used it in place of flour when I'm breading something that I'm pan frying.
Hey Steve, I know this is a 2 year old video and you've moved on to pancake mixes from scratch that you prefer, but just wanted to share something in regard to the Birch Benders Keto pancake mix. I've tried your ketovore pancakes and while I prefer them in some regards (less grainy) the rest of the household much prefers the birch benders keto pancake mix, well, at least after after a fluke discovery. My wife had been suffering from electrolyte imbalance (or so she believed a few weeks after starting keto) so I put her on an electrolyte mix. She found the electrolyte mix a bit too salty in drinks, so I started to add it in food. In the keto birch benders pancake mix I added 1 capful of electrolyte mix (while reducing the equivalent in water) per 2 servings of the pancake mix. The pancakes turned out super fluffy with this addition. May have also fluffed up more as I took them off the griddle early and heated them in the microwave for 20 seconds or so to reheat and fully cook before serving. Could just be a fluke with water ratios, but tried it again today and they fluffed up with the electrolyte mix, and didn't fluff up much without. Might want to give it a test yourself. The electrolyte mix I used was Elyte by BodyBio on amazon which is pretty inexpensive.
Interesting discover. Thanks for sharing.
Your daughter is so cute with her winks and nods.
She likes playing to the camera. 😀
@@SeriousKeto You can tell for sure!
Kinda creepy ...
Coconut oil as “Mct oil “ or regular cold pressed, just warm enough to be liquid?
Great review as per usual guys 👍🏻
If I'm understanding your question, the answer is "cold pressed, just warm enough to be liquid".
Serious Keto yes , I could have worded that much better sorry i was in a rush.
I was indeed asking if cold pressed coconut oil or coconut MCT oil .
The first being a solid fat at room temperature in cold Scotland where I live
Thank you
I’ve never tried the CarbQuick or BB Paleo mixes, but I did try Lakanto before BB Keto. Between the two, Birch Benders won by a mile!
BB keto is not awesome.
@@SeriousKeto maybe worth noting, I’ve been adding an egg to the mix, as I’ve seen that as an “optional” ingredient in other mixes, and I know eggs are keto approved :-)
I recently bought some almond flour and I saw some organic tigernut flour at a local health food chain which I’m probably going to pick up. Next is to find some organic psyllium seed flour which I think should hold things together better. Anyone try chia seed flour to hold recipes together?
I bought some tigernut flour from Anthony's and was surprised at the amount of carbs -- 11g net per 1/4 cup. I haven't tried any baking with it yet. And I wasn't aware that chia see flour existed.
Came here after trying this this morning...I totally agree about the KETO one...cornbready but does satisfy the urge..prob won't buy again though as it is $7..will keep looking...Can you come up with one?
I'm still working on that. I will say that the BB Keto works well as an ingredient for my corn dog batter. But as a pancake or waffle, not so good...
@@SeriousKeto ....just what I was thinking...btw, my mix didn't call for any oil...did yours?
For the waffle recipe, it did.
@@SeriousKeto ...Oh, ok..thx!
What about adding a little xanthan gum to the Keto, or psyllium husk
I'm not sure what it would take. It's really kind of gritty and I'm thinking that could make it right for some sort of cornbread application.
try mixing the two batters for a hybrid
fuzzydog pa Brilliant idea!
Both oh so young!!!
There’s been a lot of aging in the last 5 years. 😉
Is the paleo, keto friendly ?
In moderation. It's definitely got more carbs, but I still use it as a "flour" in some recipes.
How about replacing it with coconut flour 🤷🏻♀️
You'd probably need to add more liquid if you used coconut flour. My experience is that coconut flour really absorbs a lot.
2:02 wait there's a flour made out of a tiger's nuts?
I bought some and it’s pretty carby. Has a taste that’s a little like potatoes.
Don't add water, use an egg and heavy cream instead
She s adorable
Oof, she’s really stabbing the waffle with that fork. 😂
Most of the time, watching my kids eat just leaves me shaking my head.
LOL yeah and the glare into the camera each time taking a massive bite.
Keto mix has cassava starch which is kind of high on the glycemic index. This will spike insulin. 5 net carbs is a lot for only 160 calories. It’s a small amount taking up 25% of daily carb intake. Thanks for doing this. Eye opener. Another disappointing Keto product.
I agree. Fortunately, I've never been a big waffle or pancake kind of guy, but it still would be nice if someone would develop a truly low-carb mix that came close to the taste and texture of the real thing. The paleo mix definitely comes close, but with a significant carb count. I suppose if your doing OMAD fasting and have a severe waffle craving, it might be worth it.
I don't know how to hold a fork.
Then maybe you should eat with your hands
I can totally appreciate the review of the products, sharing information and the home quality video however the the waffle being stabbed and cut up into HUGE pieces shoved in the mouth and chewing with mouth open was a bit awkward and distracting...
That's what it's like every night at our dinner table. I've given up even trying... 😒
I agree. I appreciate the video & all the work you put in. Please don't use your daughter again. Her voice is dead compared to you. Also her stabbing & shoving food is so disrespectful. You come across as naturally professional. Thank you.
@@mymai2792 Well she reads all the comments and I'm sure she'll find this hurtful enough that she won't want to join her dad in any future videos.
@@SeriousKeto I apologise for being thoughtless. I have a daughter just turned 20 & I love her too. Please ignore my ill timed post & hope your daughter does work with you again. Rest assured I will check how I'm coming across in the future.
@@mymai2792 I appreciate your apology. Thank you.
what is the point of keto foods? I don't see the point, since people should eat a daily amount of carbohydrates, and a certain amount of daily calories, for example if you eat bread with 30-35 calories and 4 carbs, how are you going to get 1,500-2,000 calories a day and 150-200g carbohydrates a day?
That woman's open mouth chewing and cutting with the fork and knife like that drove me crazy! Sorry?
I was a bad dad at raising my children. What can I say?
Vegetable oil? That's a big NO. Only olive oil.
