May 09, 2019Reviewer: Danielle in Pennsylvania* I've been using Carbquik for years mostly to make low-carb pancakes and they always turn out well. I do usually add a little cinnamon to the batter but one could also try vanilla or something else to add flavor. Carbquik can make thick pancakes, light thin pancakes, whatever you want depending on the amount of liquid used.
May 06, 2019Reviewer: Deborah in Ohio* I have been using this product for quite a while, it's very versatile and there are so many recipes. It's an absolute staple in our home as well as carbalose flour.
April 06, 2019Reviewer: JOSEPH in Pennsylvania* We've been using Carbquik for many years, in various recipes, with successful results.
April 03, 2019Reviewer: MELISSA in North Carolina* Tasted terrible the pancakes were awful had to throw out the entire batch and won't be using again.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 12, 2019Reviewer: Karen in Texas* I've used Carbquik off and on for the past 4 years, and I was really sold on it when I made the most amazing cinnamon rolls with it. Since then, my son decided he'd like me to make some lower carb rolls for him. I made Carbquik rolls with cheddar cheese, and he was very, very impressed. Wonderful taste with a tender texture. We made little breakfast sandwiches with eggs and cheese. Fantastic!
March 12, 2019Reviewer: margaret in Ohio* Great product.
March 08, 2019Reviewer: A guest* This makes great pancakes. It is versatile and has many uses but I love the pancakes. Tinker with the recipe, you can make a small batch for one in one container. Add fruit, banana's blueberry, etc and try Cracker Barrel sugar free syrup. The pancakes can be frozen and microwaved later for mornings you are in a hurry.
March 08, 2019Reviewer: Anna in Kentucky* Love this product and can't wait to try more recipes. Eating a pizza with "normal" crust was so great!!
March 08, 2019Reviewer: robert in Tennessee* GOOD
February 26, 2019Reviewer: A guest* So far, have only made waffles with this, but they were excellent. Better yet, its much easier than any keto recipe for waffles and tastes better imho.
February 24, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Missouri* Repeat purchase. Use for pancakes and bisquits. Will continue to buy...
February 19, 2019Reviewer: Marsha in Florida* We have been on a low-carb diet for over a year. This is the best product I have found to substitute for flour. It is a dream come true!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 14, 2019Reviewer: Lona in Wisconsin* I just received this today. I order a hundred dollars worth so I do not have to pay the $6.99 shipping charge. Sounds cheap, but it will take me a few months to pay off my bill anyway... And my first order from them was Carbquick, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! Makes wonderful pancakes and only 2 carbs after you deduct the fiber, so I had two pancakes with Mrs. Butterworths sugar free syrup and butter and my blood sugar was 171. And they were nice size pancakes. Again do not follow their recipe. Make the recipe, but add more water to make the batter more runny not thick, otherwise pancakes are to cakey??? They taste like regular pancakes... Now I found a recipe to make chocolate chip cookies with Carbquick and changed it a bit. I don't add Splenda, I use just Splenda Twin which is brown sugar 1/2 and 1/2 so it helps cut down the sugar. They are chewy or crispy, mine are crispy cause I use the spatula to knock them down in the oven. My husband likes chewy so I do not touch them at all. The only thing is the butter, which is saturated fat. So I use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Recipe to follow at bottom. I was so upset when I found out I was diabetic, Number 1 on Insulin.When I found these products I do not even know how I found this site, I am so happy, I found them. I went to my Dr. the last month in January she asked what am I doing? My A1C came in at 5.4... She said lets check you out in February, you might be able to get off of insulin. I thought once you were on insulin it was for life. Well I am going next week to see how my A1C comes in. I know it is because of these products I am eating. My last order, I received today, I ordered, 3- 3lbs. boxes of Carbquick, 2 pkgs. of that Nutrell that looks like rice, 4 pkgs. of Liliies chocolate chips sugar free, 2 pkgs, of pumpkin seeds, 4 mousse and a pumpkin sugar free pie filling. I got a few more things too. Nobody paid me to write this. I am a 63 year old from Wisconsin, originally from the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
February 12, 2019Reviewer: Christina in Missouri* Love this stuff for making cookies and things like that on my low carb diet.
February 05, 2019Reviewer: A guest* Im very excited about how this product tasted as well as the texture. I actually cooked a biscuit in the MICROWAVE and it was delicious! I mixed it with a little Greek yogurt and light butter. My son said it tasted like a wonderful, buttery biscuit!
February 02, 2019Reviewer: A guest* This is our third order of this product and we love it.
February 02, 2019Reviewer: A guest* This is our third order of this product, we order 3 boxes at a time and love it. Great product for diabetic diets. We adjusted the biscuit recipe by adding organic flax seed and a little extra water to make muffins, (use foil cupcake liners, they work much better than the paper ones). We are planning to add fresh blueberries or strawberries to our next batch of muffins. I also use the mix for drop biscuits to top my chicken pot pies and fruit pies, always turn out great.
February 01, 2019Reviewer: Julia in Tennessee* So glad I found out about Carbquick! A great help on a low carb Keto diet!
February 01, 2019Reviewer: MELINDA in Florida* My first purchase. A lifesaver for those of us following a low carb diet. So good! Will definitely be buying again. Fast shipping too.
January 31, 2019Reviewer: A guest* This is my 2nd order of Carb Quick. once from another source at 2x the price, so this was a plus buying from Netrition. ...
About the product, Ive only made the sausage gravy and pancakes. Sausage gravy 2 thumbs up. the pancakes are a different story. They require at least 2 times the liquid stated on the recipe. they dont not hold together as a pancake should and not much taste at all. Im still experimenting with the batter and recipe. Another thing is the med-high heat griddle will burn them before the every get cooked. they are ALWAYS still doughy in the middle even still in batter form in the very center. A little more tweeking and we may have something here. I must say they have really help get my A1C down as bread at breakfast was my biggest weakness now i can have pancakes a couple times a week.
January 26, 2019Reviewer: Lona in Wisconsin* I was so tired of eating Almond Flour Pancakes. Yuck. So I decided to take a chance on CarbQuick. I Love this stuff. Makes the best pancakes. I can have 2 pancakes with sugar-free syrup and my count is 171. I make them so they are the same consistency as normal pancakes. I swear by this stuff. The only thing it is expensive, but the box is 3lbs. I am ready to order another. You won't be sorry. I do not do reviews unless I really believe in the product. Oh, Make sure not to buy the can apples for pie, way to much artificial sweetener.
January 25, 2019Reviewer: polly in Ohio* I am on a "Keto" diet, and this product saved me from quitting before I reached my goal!! The mix is much like another famous "biscuit quick" mix and the flavor is great! Super easy to mix and use, I made the biscuits first, they came to a high fluffy rise and tasted great with butter alone! Then I used the mix to make sausage gravy...SUPER!! Next I made the pancakes and was VERY impressed! YES, it costs a bit more but YES! it can save you from crashing on that low-carb diet!! This product is a for REAL a carb-craving diet-saver!!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 15, 2019Reviewer: A guest* I made an amazing looking pizza that tasted like hot trash/garbage. The bread was absolutely disgusting. I knew something was off when I opened the package and the flour smelled like a sour milk or spoiled something. It tasted horrible. I tried making a waffle and dousing it in sugar free syrup and it was just as gross. If u like the smell and taste of spoiled foods this is your guy.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 06, 2019Reviewer: Dawn in California* I love Carbquik, I make the red lobster type cheese biscuits on a regular basis, split them in half add a frozen sausage patty in the middle then freeze the sausage biscuits. I take one out in the morning and 1 minute in the microwave, perfect 2 carb breakfast!
Also made yummy blueberry muffins and I'm excited to make many other things too!
December 30, 2018Reviewer: A customer in California* Used this before. Diabetic. Need "flour" with low carbohydrates and this fills the bill. I understand from the internet that it makes a dynamite pizza crust. Haven't tried it yet. Hope it does.
December 20, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Taste wise this is an excellent alternative to other biscuit mixes.
I am Type one diabetic and currently on the Ketosis diet. I wanted to test how my blood sugars would react with this product.
I made the cheddar biscuit recipe on the box. My blood sugar at fasting was 89. I had one biscuit and and a 1 oz sausage patty that has > 1 carb. I tested my blood sugar 30 min after eating, and it was 145. which was acceptable. I took my sugars again 2 hours after eating and my blood sugar was 240. Way too high for only eating 3 net carbs and something like 300 calories for breakfast. I believe that I was kicked out of Ketosis as it was 2 days before my blood sugars stabilized again.
4 days after the initial experiment I tried it again and got much of the same result, but my blood sugar after 2 hours was 190.
I also feel a little queezy after eating the biscuit. Just a little uneasiness in my stomach, but I haven't had bread in over a year it so may just be me.
This may be a great product for the right person. I react to it badly, and I cannot recommend it for diabetics.
December 18, 2018Reviewer: Judith in West Virginia* Great product, will order again.
December 18, 2018Reviewer: Tanya in California* I love this product. It is very easy to use and the taste is amazing. It satisfies the carb cravings when doing Keto or Atkins.
December 14, 2018Reviewer: Chuck in Virginia* This product has been a godsend. It allows me to use it to have things like biscuits, pancakes, breaded chicken, pot pies, etc., but continue to lose ght. I have lost 90 lbs this past year, and products like this have made it possible.
December 06, 2018Reviewer: Angel in New Jersey* This is my FAVORITE product. I have ONLY used it for pancakes and LOVE them. Many other uses and I look forward to trying them.
December 04, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I absolutely love this stuff! First thing I made was biscuits and couldn't believe how good they were. Tonight I had hamburger buns! I'm thinking cinnamon rolls next.
November 23, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Western Australia* Just..WOW! The first thing I tried was the waffles, because I missed them. I am very low carb keto. I was sold! They are so good! Ive made several things since then and its just delicious. I made cookies....we couldnt tell they were low carb. Very easy to work with and not a thing has failed. I hope they ALWAYS make Carbquik, I love it so much and I was so skeptical it would taste off or have a strange texture or aftertaste. It does not. Thank you Netrition for carrying this awesome product!
November 23, 2018Reviewer: JUDY in Virginia* I would recommend this product for things like biscuits and pancakes, but definitely not for the purpose for which I bought it this past week, which was for a pie crust for Thanksgiving. There was a recipe online, which required CarbQuick; however, to make a long story short, it definitely is not the right product for the job. Per the instructions, I mixed it with butter, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and placed in the fridge for several hours. Upon taking it out, it was hard as a rock. I let it return to room temperature. Then, rolling it out was impossible, so I built my pie crust with the cut and paste method. I punctured the pie crust all around with a fork, supposedly to prevent bubbling up. However, upon cooking, it raised like a biscuit I think the recipe I used meant to indicate carbalose flour, not CarbQuick. So, I've printed this bit here just in case you are purchasing this product after finding that same pie crust recipe. Otherwise, I know this product is great for pancakes and biscuits, as I've made those with it.
November 20, 2018Reviewer: Ronald in California* Biscuits are good Pancakes not my favorite
November 19, 2018Reviewer: Robert in Texas* Ive used the carbquik for biscuits & pancakes so far. Its been very good. Pancakes are a bit fragile as are the biscuits, but they actually taste good. Helps with that carb craving after a few weeks on a lo/no- carb diet. I see it as a very respectful replacement candidate for Bisquik recipes, but without the carb load.
I can also see good potential for those needing to watch their sugar and carb intake for such things like diabetes control. But stay sensible and dont go overboard, after all it is not totally carb free.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 10, 2018Reviewer: PJ in California* Best waffles I ever had!!! I add splenda and cinnamon, and sometimes sugar free maple syrup to the batter. Amazing! Carbquik is a staple in my kitchen!
November 10, 2018Reviewer: Wanda in Michigan* Carbquik is the best. You do have to modify your recipes. But that is not a problem. I recommended it to a friend and she bought it from Netrition. She was thrilled as well. Kathy is new to low carb and amazed at how good it was. I do not know of any other place to buy it. I tell all my friends. Thank you for keeping it so we seniors can afford it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 07, 2018Reviewer: Marla in South Carolina* I used the Carbquik baking mix to make some drop biscuits but didn't tell my family, just took them out of the oven and offered them for the eating. A few commented that they had "that smell" that some organic foods from the store seem to have but they ate them all and in fact, by the time the last few kids had followed their noses to the kitchen, the pan was empty and a couple didn't get to try them....this time. I am thrilled to have a low carb baking mix to use for Impossible Cheeseburger pies and other such foods that we can eat as a family -- not a "here's mine and there are yours" type meal!
October 26, 2018Reviewer: Betty in Western Australia* This mix is incredibly versatile and delish. I have made waffles, muffins and used it as a thickener. It has kept me able to try some new tricks without breaking my Keto way of eating. Can't wait to try the Monte Cristo sandwich (my favorite) recipe on the box.
October 11, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Love this product and price and it came quickly. Will be ordering more. Thank you
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulOctober 05, 2018Reviewer: Cynthia in California* I have been doing keto for several months and I wanted pancakes. I've found several recipes online for keto pancakes but they were all awful. I got the Carbquik and made pancakes the next morning and they were wonderful! The taste and texture were almost perfect! I bought another box for my daughter and son in law who both just started keto. It's kinda pricey but to me, it was worth it!
October 03, 2018Reviewer: Susan in Michigan* This is a very good alternative to high carb flour with many recipes on the box including main course dishes to desserts.
The total experience is very good, especially the fast delivery.
October 01, 2018Reviewer: Theresa in Indiana* Great product, use it for all my baking.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 23, 2018Reviewer: Richard A. in Alabama* The biggest challenge with low carb living from my perspective is absence of bread. Carbquick absolutely fills that deficit and has saved me repeatedly from relapse. I've not figured out how to reproduce a crusty yeasty bread yet; however, biscuits, muffins, pancakes or waffles are fantastic. It is great for breading meats too. In fact both sides of the box cover lists recipe after recipe. They are easy and quick and do not require running down other "weird" ingredients and I have yet to cook one yet that was not good. Bottom line, low carb living gets really difficult at times and I can honestly say this product will get one through these times.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 16, 2018Reviewer: Rosalie in Texas* Was happy to find a low carb substitute for biscuits and gravy. The texture was slightly different, but overall the taste was good. We also thickened the gravy with it.
0 of 2 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 11, 2018Reviewer: Michelle in North Carolina* Let me start by saying the box I received may have been old because the expiration date on the box was May 2019. This may have something to do with the weird smell and taste. This is just about the worst stuff I have ever tasted. It smelled and tasted like chemicals and cardboard. Or what I imagine chemicals and cardboard would taste like. I made pancakes. I used cinnamon and vanilla extract in the batter and butter and sf pancake syrup. Took one bite and in the trash they and the whole box went. I couldnt even force myself to swallow that one bite, I had to spit it out. I do not understand how so many people can think this stuff is so great. Chalked this up to an expensive lesson learned. If I really want pancakes or a biscuit then Ill eat and actually enjoy the real thing, occasionally.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 09, 2018Reviewer: Lydia in North Carolina* GREAT biscuits, sausage balls, & chocolate chip cookies. We don't have to have guilt of eating too many carbs.
September 01, 2018Reviewer: Nicole in Tennessee* I really love love this product.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 18, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Delaware* The Carbquik Bake Mix is a great product. We had been using fine ground almond flour as our low-carb choice to regular flour. The experience with almond flour has been hit & miss and with a lot of experimentation with vital wheat gluten as a necessary ingredient. The Carbquik belgian waffle recipe as written on the box was a big hit the first time! I'm looking forward to trying the biscuit recipe.
August 16, 2018Reviewer: Bernadette in California* I need an endorsement deal with this company!!! I could sell this stuff. I have done soooo many wonderful things with this product. It is the best thing since...sliced bread.
August 08, 2018Reviewer: Adelaide in Missouri* I just received this product and made cheddar biscuits. They were SO good! The mix spreads so don't put them too close together. They actually turned out to be a pretty darn good size. Definitely can't wait to use it again. Oh...I baked mine at 400 for 10 minutes.
August 01, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I havent tried the product yet but its what I was looking for as far as carbs & sugars. I bought a box for my brother in law who is also diabetic and was impressed with what he is able to make with it
July 31, 2018Reviewer: Georgia in Vermont* BEST price online for this! Reasonable shipping cost and it arrived the next day. Very satisfied with this purchase. Although it doesnt taste exactly like Bisquick, it's reasonably close and it's nice to have low carb pancakes and waffles. While I dont mind the coconut and almond flour versions, having the Carbquik is a nice change and tastes more like the real thing. Looking forward to trying some biscuits soon.
July 29, 2018Reviewer: A guest* we LOVED it
July 28, 2018Reviewer: leona in North Dakota* Being a diabetic, I like a pancake or cinnamon roll. With carbquick I can make these food items and they are delicious...with no guilt.....perfect baking mix. Great chicken coating also.
July 28, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I like Carbquick bake mix in order to be able to have biscuits, pancakes, pot pies and other baked foods. I prefer eating low carb and miss having the previous mentioned foods. I have used almond flour, coconut flour and flax meal, but nothing really compares to Carbquick bake mix. It is easy to use and is worth the cost.
July 27, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Cant imagine doing Keto without!!!
July 24, 2018Reviewer: Deborah in Wisconsin* I love this product. I can do so much using this...from sweet recipes to savory....from main dishes to desserts as well as a coating for meats, chicken, pork, pizza crusts etc. This product is very versatile. This will remain a staple item in my kitchen and I'd most definitely recommend this to others.
July 24, 2018Reviewer: Stacy in California* I love this product but it works best when combined with other flours. If you use it by itself you may be disappointed. This product requires experimentation. I combine it with all purpose flour, sometimes with carbalose, sometimes with almond or coconut flour. Don't give up if you initially get poor results. Take a recipe you already love and swap out half the all purpose flour for carbquik.
July 17, 2018Reviewer: Robert in South Carolina* Really disappointed with this product. Tried waffle recipe and also pancakes. Even tho I own professional grade pans even on low the pancakes burned. The waffles I'm still trying to get my waffle iron clean. I normally just mix almond flour and coconut flour with baking powder and eggs and the come out great. I brought based on reviews now I am stuck with 1 full unopened box and another 2/3 full.
July 14, 2018Reviewer: Diane in New York* Love this product...makes the very best pancakes, well, just about everything is delicious!!!
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 06, 2018Reviewer: Margie in Arizona* I am giving this a 3 because I have only tried to make one thing. I got this to make low carb pancakes and I did exactly what the recipe said and they turned out horrible. They fell apart when I tried to flip them and they tasted nasty. I will try some biscuits and see how that goes but so far.....yuck.
July 06, 2018Reviewer: JESSICA in Indiana* Strange aftertaste, so next time I will add seasoning when making biscuits.
July 02, 2018Reviewer: Rachel in Mississippi* I really love this product. It is excellent for people who need to lower their carb intake while still enjoying the breads they love!
June 15, 2018Reviewer: amy in Kentucky* I only wish I could find this product in a local store. I hate that I have to order and have it shipped to me.
June 02, 2018Reviewer: Jeremiah in Georgia* So many great things you can make with this. I use it often for simple chicken tenders in my air fryer.
May 14, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Maryland* Love this. Use it to make waffles, biscuits, and much more. The best thing for a low carb diet!
May 13, 2018Reviewer: A guest* My second order, even my non-low carbers approve! The pancakes are fantastic!
May 10, 2018Reviewer: Theresa in Michigan* I have purchased Carbquik for several years and will continue to do so as I use this for several different recipes that I consume on a daily basis. I have a friend in my area who also uses this product very satisfactorily.
May 05, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Used for pizza crust , was very good . Thx for making a low carb product for bread lovers .
May 02, 2018Reviewer: Sherry in Mississippi* Very good low carb bake mix. I have used to make low carb biscuits, muffins, and waffles. They have been very good and taste very close to high carb baked products.
April 28, 2018Reviewer: Tina in Texas* Ive made biscuits and pancakes with this. Pretty good. Plan on making pizza crust in the future. Will also try for breading.

April 18, 2018Reviewer: Jackie in Arizona* The perfect, all around, low carb baking mix! I've made biscuits, pancakes, pizza dough, brownies and cinnamon rolls just to name a few. All low carb, and all as close to the real thing as you can get while still eating healthier.
April 12, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Carbquik is the best product I've purchased since becoming a diabetic I will definitely buy this product again.
April 06, 2018Reviewer: Stacy in California* Great product. I find it works best, I'm happier with the results, if I combine it with other flours. For instance, a tasty white cake can be made using mostly carbquik with about 30 grams of a box cake mix, add a bit of baking powder, sweeten with your sugar alternatives of choice, add your almond or cashew milk or if you prefer, buttermilk for some tang, add eggs, oil, everything you'd add for a regular cake, using carbquik as the largest dry ingredient. Because of that small amount of box cake mix, it gives a cake that's really not bad, and I experience no crash. I usually don't have successful outcomes using carbquik or carbalose on their own, but combined with regular flour or almond flour, I get good results. I get even better results making chocolate cake, using cocoa powder, with 30 grams of dry cake mix in with the carbquik. Cocoa is naturally high in fiber and my most successful cakes, as in tasting good and being low net carb, has been my chocolate cake. The carbquik, with it's high fiber and protein content, with the high fiber baking cocoa, and sugar alternatives, gives me chocolate cake with no crash that tastes good. Even the inclusion of the 30 grams of dry chocolate cake mix is mitigated with all the fiber and protein in the carbquik and cocoa. For best results do not overbake cake and using cocoa powder necessitates the inclusion of more oil. Play around with it. I think you'll be happy you did.
April 06, 2018Reviewer: Sharon in Maryland* Works just like Bisquik. Easy to use. Tastes great. Makes yummy pancakes.
April 06, 2018Reviewer: Charlene in Idaho* Great alternative to bisquick.
April 06, 2018Reviewer: Stacy in California* I forgot to add to my carbquik review yesterday that I frequently add a scoop of protein powder and a serving of Lupin bean flour into the mix as well. Chocolate is such a strong flavor it's easy to make a more nutrient dense cake as the cocoa dominates other flavors. Lupin bean flour has a strong flavor but I don't even taste it in my healthier chocolate cake, yet it adds a nice hit of fiber and protein to the cake. In my opinion, a chocolate cake made with carbquik, cocoa, Lupin bean flour, a scoop of protein powder, and sugar alternatives like stevia, is a much healthier cake than a traditionally made, all sugar version, and though it doesn't taste as richly decadent and delicious as the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten, it tastes good in it's own right, and best, I don't feel sick after eating my version.
March 06, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I really wanted to like this since I'm on keto but alas, it tastes pretty bad. I made pancakes and pizza crust with it. They did not taste good. Do not waste your money.
February 19, 2018Reviewer: Barbara in Minnesota* The biscuits I made them by rolling them and cutting them out with a biscuit cutter. Warm with natural peanut butter, so good. Love the pancakes. The pizza crust I add some more water so its not so dry. I will buy again
February 05, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Michigan* I am new to using this product and so far have only made pancakes with it. I was pleased with it and the pancakes were very filling probably due to the high fiber content. I want to experiment more with this mix to try making other things with it too. I will probably purchase this again.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 30, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I am on a non carb non sugar diet (more or less a strict paleo style) for the purpose of resetting my blood sugar levels and loosing some weight. I will be on this diet for twelve weeks and then attempt to return to a less strict but still lower card lifestyle. My blood sugars after four weeks of my reset have dropped from morning fasting levels of 200/220 with meds to about 110/130 without med-a big improvement after only four weeksBUT-I did a little test by eating just two small carbquick pancakes and three eggs at my one non protein shake per day meal-the result was that my blood sugars went up across the board at all five of my daily testings (all the other meals that day were the diet correct protocols)-my morning fasting blood sugars the next day was 157I think that this is what would happen if I had made the pancakes with a normal pancake mix. The pancakes did taste great so the mix is not a waste of money as far as that aspect is concernedjust an expensive flour mix
January 21, 2018Reviewer: Eileen in New York* Just like bisquick
January 12, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Delivery was prompt and on time. Carbquik was easy to mix, but needed more water than stated on recipe to get to batter consistency. Be careful when flipping. Discovered that it would break apart easily. Especially when putting butter on it. Tasted very good, just like pancakes. But a little grainy which actually made it better. Delicious with butter and no sugar maple syrup.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 06, 2018Reviewer: Robert in Virginia* Low Carb buttermilk meringue Pancakes: These are moist fluffy and friggin delicious! Entire recipe is less than 24 carbs. Makes about 12 *thick but fluffy* pancakes (2 carbs each). I can eat around 3 and be full, so with sugar free syrup, you will have under a 8 carb breakfast. BY THE WAY these are not like other pancakes that are (good for low carb). My whole family asks me to make these. They actually taste good. I'm sure you can play with the recipe to yield less carbs maybe using heavy cream instead of buttermilk, but I'm not screwing with this. Give it a shot!
Ingredients: - 1 Cup (3.5oz) Carbquick *6 carbs - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 8 oz whole-milk ricotta cheese *6 carbs - 2 Large eggs (separated) + 2 large egg whites - 1/3 cup water - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - 2Tbsp unsalted butter, melted - ¼ Cup Splenda Granular *6 carbs - 2 tsp vegatable oil - 1Tbsp+1Tsp of Buttermilk Powder *5 carbs
Preparation: 1. Oven rack middle position, pre-heat 200 degrees with baking sheet and wire rack. 2. Whisk Carbquick, baking soda, and Buttermilk Powder together in medium bowl. Make well in center. 3. Mix ricotta, egg yolks, water, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. 4. Add fluids to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in melted butter. 5. In separate bowl mix egg whites on medium low speed until foamy, then increase speed and whip to soft, billowy mounds. Gradually add Splenda and whip until soft peaks form. 6. Whisk in 1/3 of egg white to batter to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites. 7. Cook like pancakes on griddle 8. Transfer to oven on racks while you make more.
Entire recipe is less than 24 carbs. Makes about 12 pancakes (2 carbs each).
January 06, 2018Reviewer: Judy in Oregon* Been using Carbquik for years. It's great stuff.
December 18, 2017Reviewer: A guest* So far I have really enjoyed Carbquik. Gave a box to a sister who is diabetic like myself. I think it is tasty and I enjoy being able to eat a biscuit without worrying about carbs. Have also made the waffles and my husband liked them too. I will continue to experiment and make other dishes to eat as long as it doesn't interfere with my blood sugar.
December 15, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Loved it! My chicken pot pie topping was so enjoyed! Just ordered more to make sure I have enough for Christmas. Best price too!
November 20, 2017Reviewer: Denise in Virginia* Carbquick is a great product for low carb lifestyles. It acts pretty much like Bisquick (without the carbs of course). It makes great pancakes and biscuits.
My favorite is to make drop biscuits using Da Vinci Syrup instead of water (just 2 cups of Carbquick and 2/3rds cup of Da Vinci, then pat down in an 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for 15 minutes--yum)!!
November 14, 2017Reviewer: Gayla in Arkansas* Wow! Im so excited to have more of this low carb baking mix! It is great to have a way to have biscuits & pancakes without the normal carb count. I plan to try more of the recipes (printed inside the box), especially this Holiday Season!
November 14, 2017Reviewer: A guest* I'm not sure how I've lived without this product previously. I've made garlic cheddar biscuits, fried chicken, and pancakes so far and will be keeping this stocked in my kitchen at all times. I'm going to try to make a pizza using the garlic cheddar biscuit as a crust next time. The pancakes were decent for what they were, and tasted way better slathered in butter and sugar free syrup. I enjoy the variety of foods I can make with this. Anything you can make with Bisquik you can make with this.
November 06, 2017Reviewer: A guest* This is a staple in our house. Definitely a game changer for going low carb. We use for biscuits and gravy, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, pie crust, etc..works great everytime!
November 05, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Great low carb product. Made pizza crust that was surprisingly tasty and satisfying. Will be a new regular product to order.
November 02, 2017Reviewer: Melissa in Western Australia* This is an amazing product. Replaces Bisquick in all your recipes. I have made biscuits several times as well used in a casserole. I would recommend using unsalted butter because myself and several other people thought the end product was a little salty. If you are using it in a recipe to replace Bisquick I'd eliminate the salt or cut the salt back when using Carbquik.
October 30, 2017Reviewer: Deborah in Texas* This is the second time we ordered this baking mix and LOVE IT !!!!
October 16, 2017Reviewer: Kenneth in Kentucky* Great biscuits, great waffles! Plan on making baked donuts with sugar free glaze next.
October 14, 2017Reviewer: Mark in Vermont* I love this stuff, have been buying it for years. It's great when on a low carb diet for making things like pancakes, waffles, and casseroles.
October 04, 2017Reviewer: Douglas in Maryland* Tastes like high carb products. I have been buying and using Carbquik to make pancakes and biscuits for years. Being able to find products like this is gratifying when you're trying to maintain a low carb diet.
October 03, 2017Reviewer: James in North Carolina* Carbquik makes good waffles and pancakes. We've used it for years. Tastes and works like Bisquik.
Netrition is an excellent site providing fast service. Never had a problem.
September 30, 2017Reviewer: susan in Connecticut* This keeps me on track. Thank god I have it !
September 23, 2017Reviewer: Milagros in Florida* It is fantastic!!!!!!!! and Delicious!!!!!!
September 23, 2017Reviewer: Donna in Maryland* I always recommend this product. I have lost over 240 pounds in last 3 years. I owe so much to this product. I use it to make so many favorite recipes that keep me on my course. I need to lose 75 more pounds. I want you to know your company and Netrition and low carb friends have saved my life. I love you all so much. Please don't ever stop making this product
September 17, 2017Reviewer: john in Pennsylvania* We like the low carb mix because we are on a low carb diet. Makes good biscuits!
September 14, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Awesome price and service! I will continue to be a customer!
August 20, 2017Reviewer: Lloyd in Oklahoma* I love carbquik. I've used it now for over a year and a half and by doing so and watching my carb intake, lost 42 lbs. I'm now, into size 30'blue jeans at the age of 61. Love it completely. It's great for making yeast rolls, they are great.
August 20, 2017Reviewer: A guest* I can say what a blessing this product is and I'm not religious. This is only my first time making purchases on this website, but I've bought Carbquick on the big A for more money in the past. Get this stuff from Netrition; you'll love it!
August 17, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Another great low carb option - I made the garlic biscuits and you can not tell the difference between this and Bisquick! My BF that is not watching carb intake really enjoyed them as well - I am a bit concerned that they taste too good to be low carb so I will eat in moderation.
August 13, 2017Reviewer: Diana in Ohio* Carbquik Baking Mix is my go to for biscuits! The recipe on the box says they taste just like Red Lobster's. And they do! There is also an easy drop biscuit recipe I use when I'm in a hurry that is good too. There are so many things you can do with this mix including pancakes and pizza crust. It is used like Bisquick but without the carbs. I always have this product on hand.
August 08, 2017Reviewer: Deborah in Michigan* My husband and I love it. We've been using it over a year for biscuits (add 1 egg and 1 TBSP of Splenda to each batch of 8 biscuits), pancakes, and waffles and don't miss the "real" stuff at all. Weight loss and reduced cravings are a real plus.
August 08, 2017Reviewer: Barbara in Idaho* A nice fruit shortcake, mixing this with sour cream, splenda, and water. I use this a lot; wish I had found it sooner (I'm on my second box.)
July 31, 2017Reviewer: Jerry in Nebraska* Have been using Carbquick for over a year now... it is my go to product for waffles, pancakes, cake, biscuits, etc. As a diabetic, this product does not effect my BG numbers and is worth it's weight in gold. Highly recommended!
July 26, 2017Reviewer: Christine in Colorado* I love this mix. It has a normal texture. Makes great cookies.
July 13, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Carbquik is a game changer when going low carb. Use it for biscuits, pizza crust, pie crust, and we even made pretzels with it.
July 09, 2017Reviewer: John in Illinois* Great product
June 23, 2017Reviewer: Phillip in Florida* This is great stuff to cook with...Carbalose flour as well. This allows me to get within 0.1 point of a normal HA1c with a max of 12-18 g CHO per meal. It's tough; you're always the one that has the final responsibility for compliance--the Tova products are part of your weapons group.
And, don't show me another overweight doughboy or doughgirl on those Lantus commercials.
Anyway, here's one tip I've come up over the years for Carbquik.
When making cookies with this (instead of the carbalose flour) use a sieve to take out the wax flakes before mixing up--this is VERY important. Also, (if you can tolerate it) add one TBS of vital gluten/two cups of either carbalose or carbquik regular for more crisp in those cookies. Then carry on. It seems that Tova doesn't add enough vital gluten to either product to make decent bread or some other products. (Actually, they seem to have cut back about 8 months ago). It also allows you to buy the all purpose carbquik for everything.
June 22, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Oh yes. Once again a fine product. If you suffer from Diabetes buy this if you like pancakes. Also they sell a low carb pancake syrup that you can buy. I know I'm not to mention other items together but I can't help it if its true and good.
June 19, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Received the product quickly. Made cut biscuits. A little dry. Did it again and let it sit for 15-20 minutes they came out wonderful.
Looking forward to experimenting with it from recipes I found online!!
May 14, 2017Reviewer: A guest* I have used this product a few years ago when on Atkins diet, but stopped dieting. Now I started low carb diet again. I found great recipe for Belgian Waffles, using almond flour and carbalose flower and lots of eggs. Wonderful. Carb counts for all products are available. I figure 8 carbs for a big 7 inch waffle, and with sugarless/carbless maple syrup ... WOW.
BUT ... the only available Carbquik carb count (only the 2 carb per bisquit shown on the box, if you can magnify the image of the box big enough to read the "per bisquit".)
I am very unhappy with the Carbquick carb count data available at the Netrition site ... enough so that I will not order Carbquick.
But I will continue with carbalose and almond flour for my waffles.
May 06, 2017Reviewer: Greg in North Carolina* I've ordered this stuff time and again. Mainly use it for pizza dough and pancakes. It's a bit of a pain to work with, and it's got a bit of a grainy texture for the pizza dough, but the pancakes are pretty darn tasty (Considering how much butter they call for they bloody well better be!). It's not perfect, but when you're a dedicated low carber like myself it does the trick.
April 28, 2017Reviewer: Lynne in New Jersey* I usually only use Carbquik for one thing: blueberry muffins. But they're delicious and easy to make.
April 13, 2017Reviewer: Kelly in Texas* I can't believe I waited so long to try this. I've been having great success substituting it for recipes that use Bisquick. I've made biscuits several times, a Mexican casserole, garlic cheddar biscuits, and waffles. This will remain a staple in my kitchen!
March 25, 2017Reviewer: A guest* I'm diabetic and on low carb! I love Carbquik !! I would be a very unhappy person without it !! Please don't ever stop making it !! Thank you for helping make our lives a little more like normal!!!
March 13, 2017Reviewer: peter in South Dakota* Since you are already making small sacrifices for the low carb diet, this is a minor one. Side-by-side with flour biscuits, they are a tiny bit mealy and far less fluffy, but still quite decent. A decent substitute when you tire of having no baked items.
I have only made drop biscuits with it, and they turn out pretty good. The best so far is the cheesy ones. I also make blueberry and they are pretty good. I got on a crazy kick and added flax and oats, and they got a bit gnarly to eat.
4 stars being conservative; if it was indistinguishable from regular it would get 5 stars (for example, splenda gets 5 stars from me for being just as good as sugar for most uses)
March 02, 2017Reviewer: A guest* Good
February 03, 2017Reviewer: Thomas in Nevada* I was skeptical. I was sure that the taste would be yuck. I took a chance and I was rewarded. The first thing I made was biscuits. Not having bread with every meal was killing me. The biscuits melt in your mouth. Fresh out of the oven with butter. I'm so happy I discovered Carbquik. The pancakes also rock.
January 21, 2017Reviewer: lorene in Florida* I can't live without it . It is so easy to use Carbquik bake Mix by Tova recipes. I have used this enough to substitute to any other recipes. The flavor is great. Some of my favorites are Impossible pies. It is a staple in my house. I am a diabetic and don't have to give up the yummy sweets. I have recommended Carbquik to my friends and a separate section on Pintrest for my recipes. Quite a good following!
January 18, 2017Reviewer: amy in Maryland* I love this stuff. Over the holidays I made chocolate chip cookies, they turned out great. Using the recipes from the carbquik site was very useful.
January 11, 2017Reviewer: Marie in Maryland* First time user of this product - I love it! It makes great biscuits! Awesome "breading" on pan fried pork chops! I can't wait to explore other recipes with Carbquik! I highly recommend and will buy again, and again!
January 08, 2017Reviewer: Alisa in Nevada* Hubby & I LOVE Carbquik! We use it to make biscuits, waffles, and pizza crust! There are recipes printed on the box and inside it also & I look forward to trying them. A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion!
December 27, 2016Reviewer: A guest* It's really great for making fried chicken. Doesn't really work for anything else. It has serious texture issues. Because it works very well in this single application, I give it a three. Just don't get too ambitious.
December 26, 2016Reviewer: bridget in Arizona* Makes delicious pancakes, coating for fried food, and Pizza!!!
December 26, 2016Reviewer: Sheryl in New York* This product was horrible. It left a terrible chemical-like after taste in my mouth. How could this product have a 5 star rating. I would never buy this product again and, in fact, have thrown the away the box.
December 22, 2016Reviewer: Sheryl in New York* This mix has a horrible after taste, chemical-like. I would never purchase this product again.
December 10, 2016Reviewer: A guest* I've been doing low carb for almost four months. Got this in the mail last week and so far have made garlic cheddar biscuits (similar to Red Lobster), pancakes, and also a breading for chicken. I used Linda's low carb pancake recipe, not the one on the box. I've liked everything so far. I've read that people don't like the taste of carbquik but so far I have noticed no taste. I'm doing low carb to lose weight not for blood sugar reasons so I'm not sure if it's had an effect on blood sugar because I don't check it. I think i'm still losing weight too. So far, so good.
November 13, 2016Reviewer: Helene in Florida* I usually make pancakes with carbquik. Absolutely delicious. I make the batter a little thinner and get at least 10-12 pancakes from a little more than 1/3 cup. I also add 1/2 cup egg beaters, water and cinnamon and they are really great.
November 07, 2016Reviewer: Jimmy L. in Texas* This product is the best substitute for Bisquick I have ever found. Since low-carb is not optional in my diet I use this product exclusively and it is fantastic!!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulNovember 05, 2016Reviewer: Terri in Illinois* I really enjoy this product. It is the only baking product I've found that actually tastes good. I usually make the drop biscuits and flatten them out to make little pizza crusts. Cover with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese for the perfect dinner or snack (low carb).
October 31, 2016Reviewer: Carl in Western Australia* I have only made pancakes with this so far but they turned out great. I will be trying other things.
October 30, 2016Reviewer: GAYLE in Indiana* The best tasting low carb bake mix I have found. It is even better than the Atkins bake mix.
October 29, 2016Reviewer: Nancy in Tennessee* The first couple times you use this product, you can tell it doesn't taste quite like bisquick or something like that, but you become used to it very quickly. Both my husband and my 18 year old son eat the food I make with it, and they are both very picky. I am on my second box of it, and I have ordered 2 more. I have made pancakes and pizza crust (the 2nd time I looked up a recipe online for the crust that used yeast and liked it better than the box recipe). I made the brownie recipe on the box, the first time I used the small pan like the recipe calls for, the second time I used a 13x9 pan, which I preferred. I made the dumplings for chicken and dumplings, they were a bit crumbly. The biscuits don't puff up any higher than they are when you put them on the pan to cook, they are more flat, but they are still good. I have found that if you make a small mound of the biscuit dough for each biscuit, they tend to stay as high as they were when they were put in the oven. I have also made gravy with it. Overall, I think this is one of the best finds I have found for someone who eats low carb.
October 28, 2016Reviewer: Tom in Western Australia* My wife made cheesy biscuits with this. Just like the ones you order at Red Lobster. For someone on a low carb diet, these biscuits are just sublime. What a treat and they are so low carb that you can actually eat quite a few of them. I think she found the recipe on the box, if not you can find it online.
This works very good as a flour replacement. I highly recommend at least one box. I keep two in the pantry at all times just in case my wife gets a baking bug.
Good luck on you low carb lifestyles.
October 16, 2016Reviewer: Dorothy in Texas* This is the best product. It has corrected a medical condition caused by my gallbladder removal. Thank you! Thank you! I am eternally grateful for this product. Please do not discontinue this product.
October 14, 2016Reviewer: Karen in Florida* My 2nd order for this. A nice sized box that lasted awhile. Really like the biscuits but struggled with finding a recipe I liked. Going to try some recipes again.
October 13, 2016Reviewer: Crystal in Virginia* I love this product. You can use it like Bisquick and it makes great biscuits, pancakes and waffles. I use it to make a low carb "crust" on my potpie.
September 30, 2016Reviewer: Kimberly in Maryland* I love Carbquik. I use it for frying.. biscuits and overall I'm completely satisfied with this product. Oh, just use less salt on meat or any other recipe.
September 27, 2016Reviewer: Patricia in Tennessee* Carbquik Bake Mix is an excellent product that is very useful for people like me and my husband who are trying to live low-carb for the long term and want a good variety of foods, including desserts. I have found so many recipes for delicious low carb items that replace flour with Carbquik. We enjoy "impossible" pies, including coconut and chocolate especially, and we use Carbquik to dredge/flour meats for frying and baking. I have not mastered the Carbquik biscuits yet, but I keep trying! There are many recipes available on the Company website and on many other low-carb websites so it is a very versatile staple to have on hand.
September 13, 2016Reviewer: Roni in Florida* Love this product. We make pan cake mix with this. I have been using this product for years.
September 11, 2016Reviewer: Carrie in Missouri* I love this product...so easy to make and no blood sugar spike
September 09, 2016Reviewer: Lola in Michigan* I've been using this for several years and have gotten use to the changes I had to make in my diet and life, I enjoy making and eating the different things you can make from this mix. This works for me and I will keep buying it!
August 26, 2016Reviewer: Sadie in North Carolina* This bake mix is great. I make the recipe for muffins on the box and I also use it for breading when frying.
July 15, 2016Reviewer: YOKO in California* The taste is very good. I made pancakes first. It's taste like regular wheat but it is easy to fall apart like corn bread. Then I made muffins and biscuits, it was great!!
July 12, 2016Reviewer: Debra in California* This is really handy to have for a low carb muffin or biscuit. It is quick and easy to use and has other recipes included on and in the box. Even my picky hubby will eat what I bake from this. For a low carb product I give it an A+
June 27, 2016Reviewer: David in Michigan* Love to make muffins with Carbquick. See recipe link below.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 23, 2016Reviewer: Robin in Florida* I've been on low carb diet for 1 1/2 years now. Lost over 60 lbs. Without this product would be impossible. Use it for everything from sausage balls to waffles, biscuits and anything else you can think of. If you can use Bisquick then this makes a great low carb substitute. Won't be without it
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 13, 2016Reviewer: Karen in California* Our family relies on this wonderful low carb mix for many treats. We've made dumplings, pizza, pancakes and biscuits. My husband is faithful to his low carb diet because he has diabetes, and is so grateful that he can once again eat a few delicious starchy items made with Carbquik.
May 12, 2016Reviewer: Dianna in Minnesota* Easy to use. You really need to make sure you're measuring as directed. It's easy to over measure the mix but other than that, great addition to my low carb foods.
May 09, 2016Reviewer: Carol in Missouri* I ordered and received Carbquick a week ago. I was so excited to try this product because I haven't had a biscuit for 5 months. The first thing that I made was the cheddar biscuits. The biscuits were flat and mushy. I baked them longer that suggested, but they were still mushy. Tonight I was eager to try the pancakes. The pancakes were mushy too! I tried adding baking powder and a few spices to add flavor, but it didn't make a difference. I know that I am probably asking a lot from a no carb product, but I was hoping for something better. Am I doing something wrong?
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulApril 16, 2016Reviewer: Cecilia in Florida* Oven Fried Chicken Thighs. I used the Carbquik as the breading, egg whites for the wash, kosher salt and pepper. baked at 425' about 20 minutes both sides(175-180'). I also cooked it on a rack. They came out so delicious. I also made Zoodles, red pepper, scallions and garlic saute. I was very happy. My test tomorrow will be Carbquik pancakes.
March 30, 2016Reviewer: Carmela in Michigan* I love this mix for pancakes. I bought an electric pancake maker that cooks both sides at once and it works great. I make perfect low carb pancakes with this mix! I will never stop ordering this product.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpfulMarch 22, 2016Reviewer: H Beth in Texas* I bought my first box of Carbquik and before I even opened it I read all the entries on the Carbquik forum. That was very helpful! Because I was able to avoid some of the common pitfalls, I have not had one failure and my husband and I have enjoyed everything I have made so far. Perhaps the most important thing I do is weigh the product instead of spooning into a cup. This assures a consistent amount every time. Then I process it for 15 seconds or so in my food processor to assure better texture. All things I learned on the forum. I have just ordered 2 more boxes.
March 22, 2016Reviewer: Andrew in Illinois* It is wonderful that I can make biscuits, pancakes, chicken pot pie, gravy, broccoli cheddar soup, etc...a must for low carb diets!
March 12, 2016Reviewer: RENEE in Michigan* What a great product. Biscuits, short-cakes, Kolaches, cookies, dumplings, Cinnamon Rolls. The recipes are so helpful (found inside the box and online). My mother and I are Diabetic and we have experimented with this and it works just like Bisquik and Jiffy Mix. Thank you for the opportunity to comment about this versatile product.
March 02, 2016Reviewer: patricia in Idaho* Like..Great recipes included on the box, give me quick and tasty low carb options to old favorites.
February 19, 2016Reviewer: KATHLEEN in Arizona* Makes the BEST low carb pancakes with a little tweaking. I use 1 egg, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1 tbs water, 2 tbs Torani sugar free syrup, 1/4 tsp Lorann Buttery Sweet Dough, ( NO OIL, NO CREAM) mix up good and cook on a medium setting. Likes to cook slow. I also use it for my own homemade Flour Mix for baking cakes, buns etc. Can use to thicken gravy and sauces. I have been using this for years.
February 12, 2016Reviewer: Rebecca in Texas* This stuff is AMAZING!!!!!! When I made the waffles the first time, according to package directions....the batter was cookie dough consistency. They still tasted fabulous, but after reading other reviews, I added 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream instead of 1/4 cup, and an extra egg. This baking mix is a Godsend!! I can't tell any difference versus Bisquick!! Thank you Netrition for carrying this product!
February 12, 2016Reviewer: Karoline in Texas* "Carbquik was called the mix of dreams, and it was. It really was." -Rose Dawson, 2016 probably
(Although I hate making pancakes with it, just ew. However, the biscuits are amazing and the chicken parm breading is too.)
February 08, 2016Reviewer: Kristen in Louisiana* I don't think I could stay on my lc diet with out this! Its just like flour only better!!
February 06, 2016Reviewer: Cynthia in New York* I think this is a good product because even when you are eating low carb you need your carbs....LOL. Have used it to make "Impossible Pie" recipes, use it in place of flour sometimes to thicken sauces (although it doesn't thicken quite as well)... and to make my favorite ...
Mug cake recipe: 1/4 cup carbquik, 1/4 cup Sugar FRee Torani of Davinci Syrup of choice, 2 TBSP Cocoa Powder, 2 TBSP whole milk. (I use fairlife) Mix in a mug and microwave about 1 1/2 minutes. Stats When I enter recipe in My fitness pal: 110 calories, 7g fat, 9g carbohydrate, 4g fiber, 2g sugar, 8g protein. You could use cream, but the trade off is less protein...
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 05, 2016Reviewer: David in Florida* Diabetics Beware!
When I found out about this product I was excited that at 2 net carbs it would allow me to eat enough to help me keep from losing weight on my low carb diet. And, with 6g protein and 1g sat fat it sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, for me it wasn't true. I immediately made a batch of simple drop biscuits and had 3 servings along with some other low carb food I'd had many times. I waited 2 hours and checked my blood sugar expecting the meter reading to be very low. To my shock the reading was the highest I've had in over a month. I couldn't believe it so the next day I had just the biscuits(less than 3 servings) and the meter reading was again very high (although lower than the previous day). I saw another review which said this product didn't affect the reviewer's blood sugar but sadly for me the opposite was the case. So, my advice is beware if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic and if you try this product make sure you check your blood glucose to see if you can tolerate it.
February 03, 2016Reviewer: Liam in New Jersey* WOW WOW WOW! I have seen this product on various websites and never ordered it until recently. This mix is fantastic and the bevy of recipes available are insane! Chicken pot pie with a biscuit top???? Amazing stuff, I wen through the big box in a matter of days (Ok, I did go a little crazy) so i just ordered more.
February 03, 2016Reviewer: Susi in Arizona* One of things we have missed are bread products. Our favorite uses for the Bake Mix is to make low carb pancakes (really yummy) and biscuits. To have the biscuits for breakfast we add just a little Stevia to the mix and they are sweeter. We really enjoy them. Also love the recipes - we start with the basics and then adjust each to our own taste. Thank you for a great product!
January 30, 2016Reviewer: Teresa in Western Australia* I've used this product for years. It tastes very good to me and doesn't raise my blood sugar.
January 29, 2016Reviewer: Leah in California* I'm so glad I found this product. It's perfect for making biscuits - I add almond milk, melted butter, honey, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. SO GOOD. My boyfriend craves them constantly.
I have not tried it for pancakes yet, but I'm excited to do so soon!
January 29, 2016Reviewer: Karoline in Texas* This product has forever changed my low-carb world. I ordered this very hopeful after seeing the youtuber 'caveman keto' use this for Belgian waffles, and man I was NOT disappointed! I made biscuits with this mix and they came out a little flatter than Bisquick's, but they were AWESOME. My mom and sister loved them too, and they don't eat low carb! I just add lots of extra butter. I also used it to bread chicken when making chicken parm and that was great too. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of were the pancakes... but that's not a big deal to me because I like coconut/almond flour pancakes anyways. I have just ordered two more boxes because I went through my first one pretty quickly! Excited to make more things :)
January 28, 2016Reviewer: donna in New Jersey* It works well as a flour however it has a bitter chemical taste on your first couple of bites.will not buy again.
January 20, 2016Reviewer: Angela in Florida* This mix is the best for making faux Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits! It makes a great base for breads as well as for gravies too!
January 15, 2016Reviewer: Nancy in Florida* Carbquick is a perfect substitute for a pancake mix! I have to eat low-carb, however, my husband does not and he wants Carbquick Pancakes made once a week! I use 1 cup mix, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk, 1 egg, handful of oats, and thin with water! The best pancakes from Carbquick!! The best price on Internet for a 3 pound box. I order several due to Netrition's great shipping price and store in fridge. Excellent product and service!
December 30, 2015Reviewer: Pamela in California* I have used this product for years. Go online to tova and download their vast collection of recipes for this product. It has 90% fewer carbs than bisquick. Follow directions exactly. Cream is very important for the pancakes! Adding inulin or guar gum is also helpful but experiment! The taste of the product is extremely good, texture is good.
December 17, 2015Reviewer: Melissa in Florida* This product is great. I made my son's birthday cake with the "pound cake" recipe from the Carbalose website, they have tons of recipes. We make banana nut waffles that rock with these. The consistency is different than regular flour when you mix it up and I did have to alter some of the recipes but once you get used to handling this flour, you'll find it very handy. Pizza is super easy to make, I use my Ninja dough blade and it can't get much easier.
December 16, 2015Reviewer: Gillian in Georgia* I have used this for years, and just love it. I use it to replace flour etc in recipes. My husband has to have a very low carb diet...so it works well for me, even when flour is used for breading.
November 21, 2015Reviewer: Emily in California* Makes tasty pancakes
November 16, 2015Reviewer: Donna in Michigan* I have been using this product to make low carb muffins. I do not need to add any oil to my recipe. I love this mix!
November 15, 2015Reviewer: Terre in Western Australia* Amazing mix. I made the drop biscuits with cheese and they were delicious. I was amazed to find they were only 2 carbs each. Make sure you let them sit and cool slightly after baking to avoid them crumbling. This is the same with regular biscuits as well, but most important. Wonderful product and great recipes on the box as well.
November 02, 2015Reviewer: Denise in West Virginia* I love this product. I follow a low carb way of eating and the easy drop biscuits are one of my favorite easy things to make. It satisfies my need for an occasional treat without compromising my weight loss.
October 25, 2015Reviewer: Tracy in New York* So excited to have an occasional biscuit with breakfast! My husband loves the pancakes with SF syrup. Outstanding quality. Very impressed with every recipe I've tried using Carbquik.
October 18, 2015Reviewer: Kellie in New Hampshire* Great! Doesn't effect weight loss for me.
October 10, 2015Reviewer: michael in South Carolina* Gravy man, gravy.... and biscuits!
October 08, 2015Reviewer: Ronna in Georgia* Bisquits taste different than high carb version but they are good especially being able to add real butter and cheese.
September 27, 2015Reviewer: Pam in Western Australia* delicious... great recipes on box to help out.
August 16, 2015Reviewer: Deborah in Michigan* This stuff is amazing. I have made almost all the recipes included on the box and some of my own. The pancakes and muffins are a staple in my house. Banana flavoring and 1/4 of a banana do amazing things to a batch of banana nut muffin. Blueberry muffins are amazing as well. I also love to use as a breading for vegetables and seafood. Great stuff.
August 14, 2015Reviewer: Steven in North Carolina* I would recommend this product to anyone watching their carb intake! The taste is comparable to "Bisquick." I can have biscuits again! (diet controlled diabetes), and pancakes, as well as cinnamon buns, etc. This is a great mix and the amount is worth every penny! It lasts awhile. The price is exceptional as well! I will continue to buy it ..
August 03, 2015Reviewer: George in Georgia* I am a diabetic (use insulin) and still have to keep carb intake to less than 40 total grams per day. Carbquick lets me do that and still have a sausage biscuit every day. I make the cheese type and add a egg to the recipe, it keeps it from crumbling as much. Also tried the chicken & dumplings , not great the first time but I will try again.
July 29, 2015Reviewer: Darren in Texas* if you are on a low carb diet as I am, then this product is for you. I have used Carbquick to make chicken and dumplings, biscuits and gravy, and especially pancakes (how I have missed pancakes). I still kept losing my weight while,eating this good, so it is low in carbohydrates. I deep fried chicken breasts in this and it was great. The pancakes were awesome, not just because I miss pancakes, but because this is a very tasty product. There was no gritty after taste like other past flours I have tried. It mixes well with butter and doesn't look like curdled milk. I want to try to make a pound cake next. I just finished my first box and wrote this review after I ordered two more boxes.
July 20, 2015Reviewer: Jill in Florida* I love this product. I make pizza crust, biscuits, pound cake, and the chocolate chip cookies with sugar free chips are amazing! I have a real sweet tooth, and having this has really saved me on my LC journey.
July 18, 2015Reviewer: Kim in Illinois* My husband and I found our goldmine! We have made the cheddar biscuits and the pizza so far! What a lifesaver when it comes to sticking with your low carb diet. The pizza was deep dish and sooooo yummy! The biscuits were just like the restaurant! I couldn't ask for a better product!
July 11, 2015Reviewer: Rhonda in North Carolina* Love, love, LOVE this product! I can make hearty breakfast muffins for *ONE*CARB*each with this. :-)
July 07, 2015Reviewer: Marsha in Florida* Love this item, make biscuits, sausage gravy and pancakes so far and we love them.
July 06, 2015Reviewer: Sharon in New York* Great taste! Makes awesome biscuits and pizza dough!
July 03, 2015Reviewer: Chris in Nebraska* Being a type II diabetic who loves breads, this was an awesome product. This product tastes makes awesome tasting stuff. Carbquik doesn't adversely affect my blood sugar.
June 26, 2015Reviewer: Deanna in Alabama* I love that I can use any Bisquick recipe but keep my carbs down.
June 24, 2015Reviewer: Thomas in Michigan* This stuff is so good.
June 17, 2015Reviewer: Trish in Nevada* This is the best baking mix I have found!!! I love it!!! I make the Bisquick 7-up biscuits with this and they turn out super yummy. I don't miss biscuits at all. Super awesome is all I can say about this mix!!!!
June 15, 2015Reviewer: Christopher in Maryland* An excellent product! If you're missing pancakes in your low carb dieting, then give this product a try. They cook up and look like regular high carb pancakes. The texture is a little grainy, but there is none of that funky soy taste that other products have. IMO, the pancake instructions don't call for enough liquid to reach a "thick, pourable batter"--I use at least 50 % more. Biscuits are not quite as successful--but still OK. They don't brown very well. I have not attempted yeast breads with this product. Finally, this makes a decent breading for frying fish or chicken. Basically, you could use this anywhere you would use a Bisquick like product. I am a repeat buyer. Recommended.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 12, 2015Reviewer: Michael in New Jersey* I have been using this product for years. They make great pancakes and I even put a dash of maple extract in the batter so when I use the low carb syrup it taste even better.
June 02, 2015Reviewer: Brandi in Georgia* I love Carbquick! As I am preparing to step on stage as a figure competitor, my carbs have slowly dropped. Not only is Carbquick versatile and tastes good, it helps me hit my fiber goal as well. I have used it to make cobblers, cookies, pancakes, garlic cheddar biscuits and drop biscuits so far. This product will remain on my necessity list for some time.
May 29, 2015Reviewer: Brandon in Texas* Biscuits, pancakes and waffles are not off limits anymore. I wish the company who makes this will come out with a book with recipes.
Editors note: Here's a link to recipes: http://www.tovaindustries.com/carbalose/recipe.php
May 17, 2015Reviewer: doug in California* Not Bisquick but good for what it is.
May 16, 2015Reviewer: joyce in Pennsylvania* i have used carbquick on multiple occasion and found it has a good taste u don't notice much of a difference.
May 14, 2015Reviewer: Kay in Georgia* The best baking mix I have found for low carbing. I use it a lot in making waffles, cookies, cakes. Excellent product, great price.
May 06, 2015Reviewer: Val in Maine* I will add my two cents worth to the thousands of happy customers. :) I have ordered repeatedly. A STAPLE in my kitchen!! I have tweaked with this and other lc flours and I make crazy-delicious muffins, shortcake and cheddar biscuits. I will say there is a different taste. Not awful and strong like soy. I don't know what it is, but w sharp flavors like cinn., splenda or garlic..it is covered well. Also, the use of other flours with it like oat and almond and it all but disappears. I trust the carb count. Carbquick has an awesome website as well for those new to it, and have great recipes.
May 05, 2015Reviewer: Cory in Mississippi* Made several recipes with this product they all tasted horrible.
April 25, 2015Reviewer: Leigh in Tennessee* This product works for us! I usually make the cheddar biscuits and they are awesome. I add 1/3 cup sour cream to the recipe on the box to make the biscuits more moist. These are as good as any commercial biscuits. They definitely satisfy our craving for a breakfast biscuit with sausage and egg. I also make the waffles and they are delicious too. It is hard to believe this is low carb, but we are doing well on our diet with this product.
April 11, 2015Reviewer: Emily in South Carolina* No its not yummy carb filled white processed wheat flour BUT it sure does taste good. A real life saver to a low carb diet. Been buying this product for months now and I am very happy with it.
March 28, 2015Reviewer: Elke in Florida* Love this stuff! I've used it to make pizza which we were really missing being on Low Carb. *ALMOST* like the regular carby stuff. Great flavor.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 25, 2015Reviewer: Virginia in Georgia* This is the best stuff since sliced bread! Lower in carbs and can be used in any recipe that calls for BisQuik. I have made pies, savory pies like quiche, etc. Put it in meatloaf instead of bread crumbs, makes the best pancakes! and waffles. Just cannot say enough! Like so many others, I don't know what I would do without it! Thanks Netrition for bringing this to us as with all the other low carb goodies! Yours is a one-stop shopping experience! Best products at the best prices and absolutely BEST shipping!!! My orders come boxed like a masterpiece! Kudos to your staff!!! Never have anything broken, etc. because they do such a great job!!! Please pass along! Rarely do you see such great service as I have gotten from Netrition over these years. They never disappoint! Thanks again!
March 19, 2015Reviewer: Barb in Mississippi* My last order, I got an extra box to give to a friend who needs to be on Low-Carb diet. I love that I can have my "Sausage Biscuit Fix" every DAY, for only TWO net grams of Carbs! Last time I tried to Low-carb that was my Downfall! This mix is very easy to use, and has great taste. So far I have only made Biscuits (a LOT!), but I do plan to try the other recipes found both on & inside the box, and found on Pinterest ! My daily biscuits do not have the same consistency of a wheat flour and buttermilk biscuit, but they are REALLY really good. I tried them on a "High Carb" guy and he said they were very tasty! This baking mix will SAVE you from excess Breakfast Carbs ! Oh did I mention ? Netrition.com has the Best PRICE I have found for this mix !! Get you SOME !
1 of 4 people found the following review helpfulMarch 10, 2015Reviewer: Ed in California* TOO Grainy/Gritty. I made the drop biscuits and overall they were mediocre at best. Taste was acceptable but the grainyness was over the top! I was surprised because the mix looks very much like Bisquik but the end result is almost like eating sand in a sandwich. The smell is very similar to Bisquik. It is not bad enough to throw out as I don't want to waste the money spent on this product. If it was free I would certainly throw it out. I can't imagine eating such grainy pancakes or anything else. Very disappointed in this product as I had high hopes but the grainyness is just too much and warrants the 1 star. I am pretty sure the recipes on the box are off cause the dough for the Drop Biscuits ended up like clay, far too thick. Also the ones that call for an entire stick of butter???? Are you kidding me? Drop the carbs but load your arteries with FAT...kinda defeats the overall purpose doesn't it?
March 04, 2015Reviewer: fardis in California* This is the best low carb product I have ever used. It is impossible to tell that is low carb. Pancakes are just as good and in some cases even better than regular ones. I will buy again and I highly recommend.
March 04, 2015Reviewer: Jerry in Delaware* Made waffles, skeptical while mixing batter and didn't flow into waffle maker like I expected to my surprise waffles were light and tasty can't wait to try the biscuits.
February 28, 2015Reviewer: DOLORES in New Jersey* Carbquick is a great product. At least I you get 3lbs and it lasts a while.
February 25, 2015Reviewer: Christine in California* I am sooo thrilled with this product! The inventor is a genius!! Interchangeable with bisquick but only 10 percent of the carbs. I was worried about an aftertaste but could detect none. I'm pretty strict low carb but thanks to carbquick I had my first yeast roll in 14 months. It was divine!! Did I mention I am thrilled!?
February 19, 2015Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee* Very versatile and a life saver for a low carb diet. I always keep it in the pantry.
February 15, 2015Reviewer: Cyndi in Western Australia* This mix makes very good pancakes and biscuits. I also made sausage gravy that was ok. I had used vegan sausage and it would've been better with meat sausage. I can't wait to try red lobster biscuits. I love the comparison nutrition facts on box to a brand on the market. Unbelievable. Thanks for a great product I feel good about eating!!
February 10, 2015Reviewer: Eric in Wisconsin* Carbquick is AWESOME STUFF! We make biscuits with a low carb sausage gravy, makes a yummy pizza crust as well. On my 6th order of the stuff.
February 03, 2015Reviewer: Janice in Pennsylvania* Oh wow -- I didn't have high hopes for this product but it is GREAT. It has really changed my life -- it makes great muffins, pancakes, and all kinds of things that I haven't eaten in quite a while. There are all kinds of recipes out there and I am in low-carb heaven!!
February 01, 2015Reviewer: Heidi in Minnesota* My husband and I have been on Atkins for a year now and this is the only product I have found that is truly like the "real thing". It's amazing to be able to whip up a batch of biscuits in under 15 minutes. I will be trying more recipes soon.
Almond flour and flax meal are good too, but do not have the flavor or texture of wheat flour, which we missed very much.
Wonderful product. I highly recommend.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 25, 2015Reviewer: Wendy in Florida* I make delicious Pancakes and Pizza Crust among other things....Love, Love, Love it....can't live without it.
January 25, 2015Reviewer: Nancy in Western Australia* Love it! Very versatile product. I have made pancakes, biscuits, pizza crust, and a few other things, all excellent. Really great product for low carb dieters who need some variety by adding a few baked goods.
January 20, 2015Reviewer: Carol in Arizona* Love this stuff especially for making Pecan Blondies.
1 1/2 c carbquick 1 c Poly D fiber 1/2 c butter melted 1 1/2 c sugar equivalent (I use 40 drops EZ SWEETZ) 1 tbsp. molasses 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1/2 c chopped pecans
mix all and place on parchment paper in a jelly roll pan. It will spread out on its own. Bake 25-30 minutes at 325. Cool and cut. Freezes well.
January 16, 2015Reviewer: Heidi in New Hampshire* Love this stuff! Have used it for Cheddar Bay Biscuits, quiche crust, pizza. It is soooo close to carb filled mixes in taste and texture, I don't feel like I am missing out. I must for any low carber!
January 16, 2015Reviewer: Paula in Kentucky* I love this stuff! There's a bit of aftertaste to it and it's a bit salty but neither of those issues make it unacceptable. It's so nice to be able to have biscuits on a low carb diet!
January 04, 2015Reviewer: KARL in Illinois* Great product for the low-carb doldrums! You can have a biscuit...or two! I use this as a base for breading fried fish....works pretty well...and tastes great if you have a flair for seasoning the mix...
December 12, 2014Reviewer: Lynn in North Carolina* I'm trying to like this product. I can't seem to get good tasting pancakes, biscuits are OK if I add baking powder, cream, lard and splenda.
November 22, 2014Reviewer: Pamela in Illinois* I love this product. So far I have made muffins, buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. All delish recipes. As an added bonus I had no blood sugar impact! Woo Hoo I plan on trying the cinnamon roll recipe next! Just bought two more boxes as I plan on baking more. You can get the recipes off the box AND off the Carbquick web site.
November 18, 2014Reviewer: Nancy in New York* I just ordered my second box. We have found this product has helped us remain on a Lo Carb diet. This product is versatile, used it as a breading for chicken parm, biscuits with berries, cheesey biscuits and cheesecake. There are other recipes I want to try now that the weather is cooler. There is a slight different taste in some items, it is not bad, just comes from different flours other than wheat that we are not used too. It has been helpful to keep us on track with this eating lifestyle. I would recommend it as worth giving it a try.
November 06, 2014Reviewer: Karen in Western Australia* This stuff rocks. It makes an awesome low-carb crepe with only eggs, creamer and water...I bake a bunch every Sunday and have them everyday with no weight loss issues. I don't know what I'd do without this product. I'm in love.
November 01, 2014Reviewer: Kay in Alabama* Love the convenience. There's quite a selection of recipes on and inside the box. Tried several and they are flavorful.
October 27, 2014Reviewer: Judy in California* Seriously this product has made it possible for me to stay on my low carb diet. I have a delicious plate of pancakes every night and feel totally satisfied. Add a little Da Vinci syrup to the mix and top it off with Joseph's maple syrup...yum!
October 23, 2014Reviewer: Rebecca A. in Pennsylvania* I absolutely love this product! I make homemade cookies with it, I fry foods with it, and I basically use this for everything I would use regular all purpose flour for. So you can stay on a low carb diet using this product. It tastes good too.
October 09, 2014Reviewer: Shelley in Texas* The biscuits are ok, but the pancakes are as good as any mix I have ever tried...low carb or not. I am now getting ready to try baking my own low carb bread from a recipe that uses Carbquik, and experimenting with the other, savory recipes on the box
6 of 6 people found the following review helpfulOctober 04, 2014Reviewer: Glenn in Florida* Following the recipes on the box, nothing came out very good. After some research, I found that I get perfect pancakes by using the following: 1 cup carbquik, 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk (2%), 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp oil (I used canola). Came out perfect! Not crumbly, and very tasty. Same for any biscuit recipe, use milk instead of water and add baking powder. This simply change makes everything work!
October 03, 2014Reviewer: Jennifer in California* I am so happy my sister suggested this product to me. I can have pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and lots of other things that I had to give up. I'm diabetic, so pancakes and such are not good because of the high carb content. But with this product, the carbs are much lower. Thank you
September 19, 2014Reviewer: GLORIA in Louisiana* This box of mix sat in my cabinet for almost 2 months before I used it....I finally pulled it out this week not expecting to like it ....and wow,,,,I wanted to try something easy for first time...I made the cheddar drop biscuits and I love them..so light flavorful..I have missed biscuits for so long, but not any more...I am now anxious to try other recipes.
September 16, 2014Reviewer: Karen in Western Australia* I gave Carbquick the good ol' college try, so to speak. It has a very odd OFF taste and no matter what I did to tweak a recipe, I could not get enough moisture in to keep items from feeling dry and being all crumbly. After my third recipe attempt, I found I could not bring myself to try another. I kept the Carbquick for several months and every time I looked at it, I just shook my head and thought, "I'll try again later." Later never came. I finally just tossed it out. Great idea, lousy substitute.
September 08, 2014Reviewer: Tiiffany in Tennessee* Best biscuits ever if you add cheese and garlic powder . Still trying to make it work for fried items. But still better texture than the almond or coconut flour I have tried. These Biscuits and gravy have kept my husband faithful to the Atkins diet.
September 02, 2014Reviewer: Jeanette in Florida* Have used this product for several years and find it to be the best fit for my program.
August 30, 2014Reviewer: Vira in Pennsylvania* Absolutely love this product. I use it for everything, from breading for poultry, pork, and fish to breakfast items. It is also great for Zucchini muffins and bread.
August 30, 2014Reviewer: robin in Florida* What a wonderful find!! I have made brownies, pancakes, I just recently joined Resolutions Weight Loss and took this in for them to see and they were so excited! I think you are going to get tons of orders. No funny after taste this stuff is awesome!!!
August 24, 2014Reviewer: Christopher in Maine* Have purchased this item multiple times and we use it as a general flour substitute. Overall very pleased with the taste, low carb value, etc. Yet another good product that the low-carb crowd can depend on. Only other comment is that it seems a bit salty, take that into account when using it in recipes.
August 09, 2014Reviewer: Patti in Florida* This item was a God-send! After being on no/low carb diet for a month, I was seriously craving something "bread"! I made the cheddar biscuit and cheesecake recipe on the box, and they were delicious! I have since found other recipes; rolls, brownies, cobbler, etc. You can use this product as a Bisquick substitute for all your recipes! LOVE this stuff!
August 08, 2014Reviewer: Sharon in Rhode Island* Carbquick bake mix, is very yummy, and makes baking and keeping the carbs low. I enjoy making pancakes, and blueberry muffins, and blueberry loaf cake. My husband and I both enjoy the taste. thanks for making such a good low carb bake mix. Next thing we want to try is pizza crust.
August 03, 2014Reviewer: Stacy in California* Great for making a reduced carb, low fat cake. Take vanilla, butter or white box cake mix, use about half the mix and save remaining for another cake. Add carbquik, about the same quantity of the cake mix, add almond flour, about half the amount of the carbquik, add about 1 teaspoon baking powder and about 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, add about 10 packets of stevia and a pinch of salt, these are your dry ingredients. Add 2 eggs, a tablespoon vanilla extract, about 1/8 teaspoon almond extract and 1/8 teaspoon lemon extract, enough unsweetened almond milk to moisten batter (maybe 1/2 cup or as much as necessary), about 2 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce, 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or coconut oil) and 2 tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon lemon zest. This cake bakes up with a very similar texture to a traditional cake and tastes good.
July 25, 2014Reviewer: Leah in Maine* I can't even tell you how much I love this mix! I love biscuits and quiche so those are the 2 things I made immediately. The biscuits are obviously not like your typical biscuit but I added shredded cheddar and my favorite Morton's season and it was delicious! A little crumbly but probably because of how I made it. The quiche... oh my gosh. So happy.
June 23, 2014Reviewer: Jonathan in South Carolina* Awesome product! I love it for hotcakes or biscuits in the morning. I also use it in place of Bisquick in many of their recipes. It sure makes low-carb a lot easier.
June 17, 2014Reviewer: becky in Kansas* Great product for the low carber. Some recipes have to be tweaked for certain things but it's great to have when you're craving bread or biscuits!
June 12, 2014Reviewer: Kimberly in Ohio* Makes eating low carb easy. I used it for the 1st time last night for pizza crust. I added garlic powder for taste. Like with every new recipe you have to adjust for your taste. I love this stuff. Doesn't spike my sugar.
June 02, 2014Reviewer: Sonya in Tennessee* Carbquick Bake Mix is an easy baking mix. The texture is a little different but the best I have found. The box has many different recipes to try. My favorite is the Caramel Pecan Muffins that uses applesauce to sweeten the muffins. They are wonderful! The Cheddar Biscuits are a favorite with my husband. This is the best baking mix that I have tried.
June 02, 2014Reviewer: BRENDA in North Carolina* Who says you can't eat biscuits, bread, pizza etc. when you follow the low carb lifestyle. Great stuff, best price!
May 28, 2014Reviewer: Robert in Texas* Carbquick is the most useful product I have in the kitchen. I started dieting to with my girlfriend to help her with Atkins low carb program. It began well until eggs and bacon were no longer cutting it and we were craving for bread or something different. As I was searching for bread recipes, I found a video that had carbquick as the main ingredient, and from then on I always have 2 boxes on hand at all times. Thank you all for stocking such a wonderful product. It has saved our diet and introduced us to a new world of flavors and ideas.
May 26, 2014Reviewer: Tara in California* Excellent product! Closest to flour/bisquik I have discovered thus far. It is lower in calories than other flour alternatives such as almond or coconut flour and tastes more like the real deal.
May 21, 2014Reviewer: Jean in Maryland* Carbquik Bake mix is what I've been looking for to lower carbs in our homemade baked goods. Our son has Type 1 Diabetes and once I discovered Netrition.com, he is able to eat low-carb sweets. The reviews I've read for this product are very helpful, especially the recipes. Reviewers, if you have the info, please include your estimated carb and fiber grams per serving when you share your recipes in your reviews. The comments are terrific, and I look forward to using Carbquik Bakemix in the recipes you recommend.
May 07, 2014Reviewer: Jeanne in Virginia* I really wish I could stomach the taste of this stuff. Texture isn't bad but the taste makes me gag. Went to the garbage.
April 27, 2014Reviewer: Barbara in Michigan* I use this mix for everything - from pancakes and frying up fish. What a nice life saver. I do add cinnamon and vanilla for pancakes and fresh blueberries. Even sent an order to our vacation place.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 25, 2014Reviewer: Stacy in Georgia* Unlike the reviewers who gave this product a low score, I had no problems with the taste. It's the best alternative to Bisquick I've ever found. My issue is that I don't believe this has the net carbs it claims. Not only does it completely knock me out of ketosis (which I guess should be expected) but it takes at least 3 days for me to get back in. Meaning it's doing something to my metabolism it shouldn't for a long period of time.
That would be bad enough but I gained weight every single time I used it. I had purchased 3 boxes based on the reviews, BIG mistake. Carbquick and Dreamfields pasta are the only supposed low glycemic, low carb impact products that I have had this issue with. Julian's Bakery one carb bread also takes me out of ketosis (again, I expect that) but I am able to either sustain or lose weight with it. There are no spiked BS levels or cravings.
I would only recommend Carbquick to those already at their goal weight.
April 21, 2014Reviewer: Kathryn in New Jersey* Love this stuff!! I make protein waffles with this all the time. I have used this in place of other flours with great success! Best place to buy it, also.
April 15, 2014Reviewer: Zach in Minnesota* AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! You can do anything with this that you can do with regular flour. So far I have made waffles, pizza, and fried chicken. The waffle recipe has to be modified a little and the pizza recipe. They both had to have a little more water added to them. For the waffles I added a little heavy cream. For the chicken just don't get the oil to hot. GREAT STUFF!
April 15, 2014Reviewer: Gretchen in Oregon* Delicious bake mix. Better than any other I have tried. Very versatile.
April 04, 2014Reviewer: Jennie in Connecticut* Awesome Product, thank you for the bigger box!!!!
April 01, 2014Reviewer: jessi in Indiana* I love this stuff! I make low carb muffins, pancakes and cookies and they turn out amazing! I LOVE THIS STUFF!
April 01, 2014Reviewer: ronald in Arkansas* Carbquick is a great product. I've been doing the low carb thing for a good while now starting to miss bread. The biscuits and pancakes really taste the way they're suppose to. Haven't tried any thing else yet but with the two more boxes I just ordered you can bet I will. Only down side I have is I cant find a tortilla recipe using it.
March 31, 2014Reviewer: Harold in Colorado* I love Carbquick....I make Pancakes...Use skim condensed milk instead of heavy cream (a few more carbs but lower saturated fat....I also use Olive Oil margarine instead of butter for the same reason...I put fresh blueberries.....Lots of protein...fruit and lower saturated fats....and I can meet all by diabetic requirements.
March 31, 2014Reviewer: Patsy in Texas* So far I am very pleased with Carbquick. I have made several batches of muffins with fresh blueberries and batches with Smuckers sugar free raspberry preserves. I have also experimented and made some soft coconut cookies, which a fellow co-worker liked..
March 28, 2014Reviewer: LINDA in Colorado* This product was great for pancakes and waffles, but the pizza dough was HORRIBLE! The directions were more than poor and inadequate. It took strength to even roll it out on a pizza pan. The end product was poor. It tasted nasty!
March 08, 2014Reviewer: Rebecca in Colorado* I ordered this with a bit of reservation, thinking how good could it really be? Well, it's good! I made my first batch of pancakes this morning, and they were awesome! I could barely tell the difference between this and Bisquick. I am so excited that I get to have some semblance of the same foods the rest of my family eats. Next up is pizza dough. I can't wait!
March 08, 2014Reviewer: sharlene in New York* I am over the moon about this product. It is so good. I am very fussy about sugar and carb. free products. I will never be without this product. Please don't ever stop making it. Everyone in my home loves it. Pizza, pancakes, biscuits etc. Thank you so so much !!!!
March 07, 2014Reviewer: Tiffany in California* I was skeptical because I've tried almost every kind of substitute for low carb "flour" and they were all terrible. This is by far the BEST I've tried.
It has a texture that seems dry/crumbly but it does not taste bad.
I've made pancakes, biscuits, gravy, cinnamon buns, pizza dough. Just be careful because it's 2g of Net Carbs per 1/3 cup of flour. It can add up quick if you eat a whole batch of pancakes.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 04, 2014Reviewer: Carrie in Florida* I ordered this because of all the good reviews. I tried making pancakes, they fell apart and the carbquick has a terrible smell to it that it nauseated me, I also tried making lemon nut muffins AWFUL tasted terrible, I don't know where all these good reviews are coming from, I threw the rest of the box away. I will be using another baking mix for pancakes and muffins. Way way better. I had high hopes for this product. Terrible product and I bake a lot !
February 28, 2014Reviewer: Marina in Maryland* A life saver when the carb craving strikes. I make biscuits and low-carb cinnamon rolls. Have also made turkey pot pie and used as a pizza crust.
February 19, 2014Reviewer: Leonard in New York* Since starting a low carb life, I missed an occasional pancake. Carbquik pancakes are the best! I fed them to my adult kids and they couldn't tell the difference.
February 15, 2014Reviewer: Darian in District of Columbia* The worst fear I had entering a no/low carb lifestyle was that I would miss pizza and it would be my undoing. With CarbQuick I don't have "cheat meals" anymore. I just make a quick pizza crust, top with everything I love which is already low carb and enjoy!
Now I don't eat poorly and I'm finding new ways to use CarbQuick.

I've used to fry fish, chicken fingers, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan, veal parmesan, zucchini sticks, pancakes. I lost 40 pounds on low carb and this enabled me to continue to eat some of my favorite foods!!
February 02, 2014Reviewer: vicki in Missouri* Love love love it! I made the garlic cheese biscuits, my husband loved them and he doesn't do low carb. This morning I made cinnamon pecan stickey buns, very good too. Maybe I can finally get him to join me on this! I'm going to try the flour too.
January 27, 2014Reviewer: Barbara in Texas* This is the best baking mix ever! I make pancakes, pizza dough, anything you'd use Bisquick with works here. Very light and does not have you choking over the dryness in most soy-based baking products.
January 26, 2014Reviewer: Brenda in Ohio* This is a staple at my home to help keep us on our low carb lifestyle. Makes great pancakes, and my little boy loves the biscuits. I order two 3 lb boxes at a time.
January 11, 2014Reviewer: Ruth in New York* I have been on a low carb diet for several years. Carbquik has been a staple in my cupboard. There have been very few times when it hasn't performed as well as Bisquick.
December 13, 2013Reviewer: Ethan in Georgia* Great product and satisfies the cravings for carbs. Recipes are just as good. Was unsure of this but after trying this just ordered more.
December 04, 2013Reviewer: Robin in Minnesota* I made the biscuit recipe on the side of the box. It couldn't have been easier and I really liked the taste and texture. It also satisfies the craving for bread without all the carbs. It tastes so good that I eat them plain. Also very good with Walden Farms zero calorie syrup.
November 21, 2013Reviewer: Linda in Texas* This product works well but should be followed as instructed when mixing a recipe. I have found when following the recipes given it has produced an incredibly delicious taste with the low carb & I also use low saturated fats for my husband to be able to eat as well. So I find this product exceptional for the heart smart & diabetes person in your family. We are amazed with the results. I just am using different sweeteners to keep away from the addiction of sucralose. Enjoy & know you can have desserts w/o the sugar spikes that come from the grains or cane sugar! Its a blessing!
November 16, 2013Reviewer: Sandra in California* I just got this product and made the drop biscuits. They didn't rise as much as Bisquick, and were somewhat heavier in texture, but they were still delicious and filling. I can't wait to try other recipes.
November 14, 2013Reviewer: Andrea in New Hampshire* Great product to have on hand. Lots of great recipes online. Made biscuits, pancakes, and the toll house cookie recipe and they were so much better than other scratch low carb recipes I've tried. Excited to keep experimenting!
November 13, 2013Reviewer: Janet in Texas* I have been using Carbquik for several years because I am a diabetic. I love my biscuits and pancakes, even my husband and grand-kids like them and want the Carbquik instead of regular mix. Thank you for continuing to make this product
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 07, 2013Reviewer: John in Pennsylvania* This is a terrific product! After a month on Atkins, my wife and I added this to our eating list. The biscuits were wonderful (even pan fried rather than oven baked.) My wife made a sausage and gravy mix that was also superb. (She is just using it like she would regular flour.) What a delight!
7 of 7 people found the following review helpfulOctober 19, 2013Reviewer: Stacy in California* Great product. I use it, among other things, to make a store box cake mix with fewer carbs. works this way: buy a cake mix (preferably one on sale), weigh out about a third of it. put the other portion away for a future baked good. to the 1/3 cake mix, add in about 75 grams of carbquik, about 50 grams of almond flour, about 5 grams of stevia, about 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and eggs, oil, etc. as per package directions. Makes a single layer. I like it because the addition of the carbquik, almond flour and stevia, when combined with the initial third of the cake mix, tastes just like a normal cake made with all sugar, but the changes make it much less carby. I prefer the taste of butter in cakes/cookies, but coconut oil is very healthy, so I use abit of both. When I want to reduce the fat, I've made it with sugar free apple sauce, and less butter and coconut oil, and it came out great. I've made the cake with almond milk as the liquid or half and half when that's all I had. The cake has never turned out bad and it always rises. I think cake mix manufacturers use turbo baking powder in the mixes, so even though I add a significant amount of dry ingredients, just adding 1/2 teaspoon more baking powder still has the cake rising as usual. And because the cake mix uses sugar, it covers up the aftertaste of the stevia, which I'm not fond of. I also add vanilla extract and/or almond extract, depending on what I have on hand. hope you find this helpful. enjoy.
October 15, 2013Reviewer: A customer in California* Love this product!! I've used it for years. It's like having my old friend Bisquick back, but without all those awful carbs. The recipes work mostly the same. www.lowcarbfriends.com has recipes for its use, and you can also get great recipes from Carbquick and even from Bisquick recipes! (Google it!) It can also be used to bread fish, chicken, or pork chops. Or make a batter to dip them in! The list goes on and on! SO VERSATILE!! One of my favorite breakfasts is Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. Now I can enjoy that again and still be low carb! What's not to like?
October 04, 2013Reviewer: Lori in Arizona* I made the drop biscuits to see what Carbquik tastes like in its 'plainest' form - and WOW! I can't wait to expand my recipes and start eating guilt free! I ordered three more boxes - thanks Tova and Netrition! Now I can eat eggs again without getting bored!
October 03, 2013Reviewer: ELLEN in New Jersey* I can finally make my pancake and other bread products without all the carbs. Tastes great.
September 25, 2013Reviewer: Judith in Oregon* We are on the Atkins Diet Plan and are sick and tired of EGGS!!!! How we longed for waffles and pancakes, and now we can have them. They are light, and very tasty. Just ordered 2 more boxes. Am making pizza tonight from the recipe on the box. Can't wait to try them. There is life on a low carb diet!
8 of 8 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 10, 2013Reviewer: brian in Arkansas* I almost didn't order this stuff because of mixed reviews but my wife and I are on low carb diet and this product does not make us stall or anything in moderation of course. I found this low carb pancake recipe online and it is great, just remember that you have to add more milk or water than it calls for, just adjust it to your liking, keep your batter a little thicker and make 6 or 7 inch pancakes (not too big) or hard to turn. I also substituted oil instead of cream and they turned out wonderful. p.s remember product is salty so if you don't like quite so much make sure your butter is unsalted.
C*ROL*N'S YUMMY PANCAKES 1/3 cup Carbquik 2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent Splenda (I use ez sweetz) 3/4 teaspoon baking powder * 1 egg 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1 tablespoon butter, melted Low carb syrup (not included in counts)
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, cream and butter; blend into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. If you like thinner pancakes add more cream or water if the batter is too thick. Fry in a lightly greased skillet.
Makes 3 large or 6 small pancakes Can be frozen
* The recipe called for 2/3 teaspoon of baking powder, but since there are no 1/3 teaspoon measuring spoons, I've changed it to 3/4 teaspoon. For a double batch of batter, I used 1 1/4 teaspoons.

August 28, 2013Reviewer: Ray in Western Australia* I am a Type 2 Diabetic and have not had any bread products in years. I found this product and can now enjoy pancakes and biscuits again. I had tried several other "non carb" flours and they were disappointing. Carbquik tastes great and does not spike my blood sugar. A great find.
August 25, 2013Reviewer: Beth in Massachusetts* YAYY!!! I just tried the pancakes for the first time today!! Read all the other reviews and was excited to try this product, and boy were the pancakes delicious! Truly better then the regular brand. My boyfriend is super picky and loved them!! Highly recommend this product for low carbers!! I get nervous even thinking of running out of this stuff! This is DEFINITELY going to be part of my grocery list from now on! A++++++++
August 24, 2013Reviewer: Patrice in California* This is by far the best low carb baking mix on the market today. The pie crust is amazing and the cheddar garlic biscuits were delicious as well. Fantastic product and a staple in my low carb lifestyle!
August 24, 2013Reviewer: Geneva in Texas* Made my own recipes for pound cake, chocolate cake and brownies. Pretty good!! I love sweets. Have ordered this several times. Has a somewhat different texture. The pancakes and waffles are very good. I plan on posting my recipes. If you are a sweet-a-holic, you need them!!
August 21, 2013Reviewer: A customer in Arizona* My husband and I just started a LC lifestyle and were having a hard time with the limited selection of LC foods available. Carbquik was mentioned in several recipes during my research to find more options. Got it yesterday and already made pizza and waffles. Even my kids loved it. The pizza crust is better than the name brand ones we were using previously. And the waffles, although not exactly like other name brand waffles, taste great. They are heavier and a lot more filling too. Can't wait to try some other recipes. Makes the LC lifestyle a lot more flexible. Will definitely be ordering more. :)
August 19, 2013Reviewer: Susan in New Jersey* I had bariatric surgery (the sleeve) in December 2012. Carbquick is wonderful and I love that it is so few carbs that I can enjoy a "crust" on my fruit tartlets, pancakes or biscuits. Thank you so much for this product!
August 15, 2013Reviewer: GAIL in Texas* This stuff is amazing, use it just like white flour without the carbs.....works GREAT for me.
August 12, 2013Reviewer: Daniel in New Mexico* This is the BEST!! I received my 2 boxes a week and a half ago and as of this morning we have used it all. We have made brownies twice, pancakes almost every day, biscuits and gravy yesterday. I made tortillas (they were great) I have 3 more boxes on the way. I've lost 60 lbs on this low carb diet and just recently discovered Carbquick. I wish I had this all along but I cannot be without it at this point. It taste a hundred times better then the "Atkins" baking mix. Don't understand why there is any 1,2,3 or even 4 star ratings this is a FIVE star product no doubt.
August 12, 2013Reviewer: Dawn in California* High quality biscuit baking mix with low low carb numbers. It's part of my daily breakfast to keep my carbs low and protein high. I've used it to make just about anything you can think of from Thanksgiving biscuits to protein waffles or pancakes each and every morning! I couldn't think of using anything else and believe me, I've looked for a replacement. There just isn't one!
August 10, 2013Reviewer: James in Texas* Ditto to all the good reviews. I couldn't live without this (at least not as a low-carber).
August 07, 2013Reviewer: Tina in Pennsylvania* An amazing product! I've made chocolate chunk scones, bacon and cheddar biscuits, and thickened a cream soup. All were fabulous! Thank you for such a versatile product!
August 03, 2013Reviewer: janet in Western Australia* I have been using this product for at least 2 years and I love it!! It's the best low carb bake mix I have ever used and I would be lost without it. The things you can make with it are endless and always taste wonderful. You can use it in recipes that call for Bisquick and they are delicious but low carb. Fantastic!!!
August 02, 2013Reviewer: Michael in Ohio* Best low carb multi-purpose baking product on the market!
July 28, 2013Reviewer: Sue in California* This is the first time my husband, who has severe diabetes, has been able to eat pancakes, cookies, biscuits in nearly 35 years. Carbquick is a wonderful product for anyone who wants or needs to eat high protein high fiber, and low carb foods that are easy to make and taste delicious. We add peanut butter, cocoa powder and Splenda to make healthy and good tasting cookies,
July 27, 2013Reviewer: Bryan in Connecticut* This stuff is great! Everything you will ever need for great tasting low carb dishes. I have used this to bread meats, make 7-Up biscuits, coffee cake, pancakes, you name it. It works like it's high carb counterpart but without the carbs. I can't say enough good things about this product!
July 23, 2013Reviewer: S in Pennsylvania* Given the number of positive reviews, one more is hardly needed, but... I love this stuff. It has worked 1:1 perfectly with every Bisquick recipe tried, and re-opened the world of baking to our low-carb eating family. It's terrific to be turning out coffeecakes, fruit crumbles etc again.
If you are on the fence about trying it, just drop the $11 and do it. If you like baking with Bisquick, this stuff is a gift from the LowCarb Gods.
July 14, 2013Reviewer: mona in Texas* Great product. I use it mixed with other low carb flours and make a lot of great food. I do not like the taste of this just plain by itself. I have to mix it with other flours.
July 11, 2013Reviewer: Lynn in North Carolina* I have tried the short cake, Belgian waffles, cheddar cheese biscuit, and beer battered fish recipes so far and have really like all of them. Even my carbaholic husband likes them; he ate 3 of the 4 fish fillets I made! If you're watching your carbs and want a yummy old favorite I recommend Carbquick!
July 01, 2013Reviewer: Paul in Louisiana* I've been experimenting. Biscuits were crumbly at first, but adding a little Egg Beaters and a little Bisquick (3 parts Carbquik to 1 part Bisquik) helped them stick together. Also about 1/3 tsp baking powder. Similar for pancakes and waffles. Also have come up with good cobbler and coffee cake recipes using Truvia to sweeten. Carbquik, along with the Nature's Hollow Maple Syrup and Imitation Honey, has helped me put variety back into my diet. It's helped me bring my blood sugar down into the normal range and maintain there.
1 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 25, 2013Reviewer: Susan in Michigan* I know that some people have problems with the taste of this product but I have found, that with the things I use it in, the other ingredients cover any slightly different taste. I have made so many wonderful baked goods using this product I don't know what I would do without it !!! Being able to fry things like chicken or cheese sticks again !!! I make a wonderful pizza crust using it. This produce is what helps keep my family and I eating a low carb diet.
June 25, 2013Reviewer: Michael in Maryland* I highly recommend Carbquik. It makes a low-carb diet possible--what else can I say? I have used it to make pancakes, waffles, cheddar cheese biscuits, and basic drop biscuits, all of which turned out delicious. I just follow the recipes that come on the box. Every recipe I've tried works well (although the pancake batter seems to need more liquid than the recipe suggests). My kids also loved the breading mix for making low-carb chicken fingers. Carbquick lets me get a bread-fix without the insulin-busting consequences.
June 25, 2013Reviewer: Ellen in Texas* Great product. Made pizza and pancakes and both were great. The family all enjoyed them.
June 13, 2013Reviewer: A customer in Virginia* I was skeptical of it, but so far we've made pizza with this (after our cauliflower crust got stuck to the pan and we needed a quick easy low-carb crust replacement), breaded chicken with it, and breaded shrimp with it, and it comes out really good. Tastes more like biscuit than dough, the pizza was a little bit bland at first taste, but if you add seasoning to the dough while you're kneading it (some oregano, basil, and a lot of garlic) and put lots of toppings on it, it is fantastic. We've made BBQ Chicken Pizza (with Guy's sauce!), buffalo chicken pizza, and pepperoni pizza, and it's quick, easy, and comes out really good. It's also cheaper on Netrition than other sites :-) And you get a lot in the box, highly recommend to anyone dabbling in low carb cuisine!
June 07, 2013Reviewer: Addie in Mississippi* I got my box of Carbquick yesterday, and made pancakes this morning. I seriously couldn't tell a difference between Carbquick and Bisquick!
I will admit though, I never measure when I cook. I also didn't want to make the entire 10-serving recipe, so I did what I used to do with bisquick - I just put some carbquick in a bowl, added an egg white, no butter, a little vanilla, some fat-free half-and-half, and some water. Add mix or water as needed to get a pancake batter consistency. Stir it a little, cook it over med-low heat. Delicious with spray butter and some SF syrup!
April 21, 2013Reviewer: Robert in Virginia* Great product! 1) I've made Waffles (and I love and miss waffles) - I use butter rather than oil and I use about twice the recommended water and heavy cream to get the right viscosity. AWESOME especially with some sugar free syrup. 2) Biscuits - not bad at all. I like to have a honey/butter biscuit with my chicken with some honey. 3) Pizza - Need more time with this one. It really tasted like a biscuit with sauce and cheese. Not too bad, but I am not crazy about it yet. I may have not rolled the dough thin enough.
April 17, 2013Reviewer: Brent in Missouri* Excellent low carb baking mix. I use this nearly every day.
April 13, 2013Reviewer: A customer in New York* This product makes maintaining a low-carb lifestyle SO much easier. The texture of bread products like muffins, pancakes, and waffles is definitely not the same, but the taste and flavor is great and it really hits the spot for all of the foods you miss when eating low-carb. Would definitely recommend!
April 13, 2013Reviewer: Joanne in Georgia* You have to try the pizza recipe with this mix. It is great! Try pre-baking the crust for 5 minutes and letting it cool slightly before putting on the ricotta cheese; then sprinkle on a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, then some Rotel tomatoes, pepperoni, olives, etc. Be sure to cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over-browning, and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. You'll be in low-carb heaven!! I went 2 1/2 years without eating pizza, so I am loving this!!!
April 06, 2013Reviewer: Lisa Jo in Ohio* A delicious life saver. Thank you Carbquik for making my weight loss successful and delicious. All of my favorite desserts are still available and bake up nicely with this product. God bless you!
April 02, 2013Reviewer: Sandra in Illinois* LOVED IT. I made the pizza three times. After the 1st time, I added 1T olive oil and sprinkled a bit of garlic salt on the pan before pressing in the crust. YUM! We liked the pancakes but not the waffles. We LOVED the cheddar biscuits that taste like Red Lobs. This stuff is great for low carbing. What a life saver!
March 22, 2013Reviewer: Steven in Maine* Great taste and texture. Ordered more today.
March 19, 2013Reviewer: Mary in Oklahoma* Makes passable biscuits. Really shines when breading chicken. Dip chicken in buttermilk, roll in Carbquick, and fry on medium heat until golden brown. Low carb chicken nuggets!
March 19, 2013Reviewer: Tom in Western Australia* This is great stuff. Gives me a lot more variety in my low carb diet. I just bought a Bisquick recipe book and I use Carbquik instead. It makes a great French apple cake with Splenda. Friends tried it and want to know where to get it. When I get tired of eggs, I whip up some pancakes with sugar free maple syrup. Or biscuits either pan or from the oven. I tried other baking mixes and this is incomparably better for what I need. For versatility and taste it can't be beat.
March 13, 2013Reviewer: Chris in Ohio* I've made a cheeseburger casserole, pizza casserole, garlic biscuits, cinnamon biscuits, among others. WOW! This stuff is great! I'm eating better, tastier food now - on low carb - than ever before. Thanks Tova & Netrition!
March 12, 2013Reviewer: Patricia in Texas* I have had this in the kitchen over a month and just tried it. All I can say is YUM! The drop biscuits were easy and came out golden brown and fluffy. Just perfect. I ate 3! I am reordering right now!
March 10, 2013Reviewer: Andrew in Georgia* Simply an amazing product that adds many options to a low carb diet while staying in ketosis. Numerous recipes available online using Carbquik and mix is versatile enough to experiment with like one would with all purpose flour.
There is a unique taste that is reminiscent of bisquick depending on the ratio of Carbquik you are using in a dish, so expect this when making gravies or baked goods.
That being said, I have not been disappointed with a single dish I've made thus far.
March 06, 2013Reviewer: mary in Minnesota* I just recently discovered Carbquik. So far, I have made pancakes. Wow! Carbquik made wonderful pancakes! I've also used this product to make biscuits. The biscuits were much lighter and fluffier than Bisquick or similar mixes. Plus the Carbquik biscuits tasted really good with low carb preserves. This is a wonderful product for those on a low carb diet. So, I just ordered more!
February 19, 2013Reviewer: Dona in Michigan* THRILLED with this product. Tastes great, great texture, moister than baking with regular flour. It's a hit at my house! Even my non low-carb family members love what I make with it. Only draw back is that they insist I share!
February 13, 2013Reviewer: Daniel in California* Keto friendly, never knocked me out of ketosis
February 08, 2013Reviewer: Shannon in North Carolina* Let me say, I must have this. I can do all the things I miss with flour with carbquik. This product has single handed helped me to stay firmly planted on my low carb diet.I'm from the south where homemade gravy and biscuits are a staple and now I can have that and still lose weight. The flavor is good and makes an excellent coating for fried chicken,the taste is just great. I could go on and on. Just get you some carbquik!
February 06, 2013Reviewer: Jaclyn in Western Australia* I love this stuff. I don't recommend the recipes on the product website , or box because honestly, they are bland and can be chunky. If you do a little research, and some of your own experimenting you can make some amazing low carb things. I've made pancakes/waffles, pasta, bread, and fried chicken....All delicious!
1 of 2 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 05, 2013Reviewer: karen in Michigan* I've used this for pizza crust, biscuits, waffles, coating baked chicken, gravy...just to name a few.. It is delicious! I think it may be the best pizza crust I've ever tasted.. It makes low carb dieting very enjoyable..
January 28, 2013Reviewer: Jewell in Illinois* Delicious! Endless low carb recipes! I love making low carb red lobster cheese biscuits with mine! Yum
January 24, 2013Reviewer: cammy in Kentucky* I have used many low carb flours and I have to say this one is the best. I made banana muffins the other night and I couldn't tell they were not made with white flour! My daughter ate them up! I am so excited about this product ,that I ordered another box that came today! I love it. I encourage those who have not had good luck with this product to experiment. I use just regular recipes and tweek it with sugar substitutes and cream where it calls for milk ect. You will find it is worth the effort. As a type II diabetic I was really missing all the breads and goodies, plus pizza!
January 24, 2013Reviewer: Ron in Kansas* This is a great product. Me and my wife particularly like to use this in biscuits and waffles.
14 of 14 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 21, 2013Reviewer: Kathy in California* Wish my late husband was alive to have been able to use this product. He was a retired pastry chef and I could only imagine with his talent could have done with this product. However; I am not that skilled in the kitchen, yet, this mix is just about idiot proof. They have made this product that good. If any dough or batter is a little dry, it will need some type of liquid or fat. I will fold up like a lawn chair if Tova ever quits making this product, as I need it to keep off the 240 pounds that I have lost!
January 17, 2013Reviewer: Kristine in California* for a low-carb item, this is quite good! Use it a lot for waffles and I enjoy them.
January 07, 2013Reviewer: Marcy in Texas* As a diabetic, I think CarbQuik is as close to heaven as you can get. I can finally enjoy all those fabulous doughy biscuits, pancakes and casseroles I've been missing without worrying about my blood sugar! The "One-Step Biscuits" recipe on the back panel of the box is absolutely delicious and couldn't be easier. I've made them three days in a row and nobody in my family knows they're low-carb and high in fiber! I'll never be without CarbQuik. It's on my permanent Netrition shopping list forever.
January 06, 2013Reviewer: Chris in Minnesota* Meh.... I mean, it's better than not having pancakes, but the taste is very... flat, boring, non-existent? The directions on the box never work out well and always need adjustment. Waffles needed more liquid, and I added a bit of salt to enhance the flavor - slightly better. The pizza crust was an abomination! I'll still have some on hand for some things, but I will definitely keep looking for a decent pancake/waffle mix. Big Train, perhaps?
December 29, 2012Reviewer: Josia in Florida* After using Carbquik several different ways. I am sold. It is great for coating chicken or other meat instead of regular flour. Great pancakes, pizza dough, you get the drift. You won't be sorry. Thank you for a good low carb mix.
December 13, 2012Reviewer: Terri in Georgia* I just really never expected this product to be so VERY amazingly great. I love it to the moon and back! Really unbelievable!
December 08, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Arizona* I have been using Carbquick for years so that I can remain faithful to my "low-ish" carb lifestyle but still enjoy things I love, like waffles, pancakes, and Red Lobster-style biscuits. Of course it doesn't taste exactly the same as Bisquick, and my husband is not a fan of it, but my kids and I can polish off an entire batch of pancakes no problem {and don't use the recipe on the box because it's loaded with calories. One-1 1/4 cup Carbquick + 1 cup water + 1 egg (add a little oil for waffles) makes a perfectly acceptable pancake batter base.} Add a little sugar free syrup and it's like I'm eating normal again.
December 08, 2012Reviewer: Janna in Western Australia* Good stuff! I like the pancakes made with carbquik better than bisquick. Really adds to the versatility of low carb lifestyle.
December 07, 2012Reviewer: David in Missouri* I've been using this product for over 5 years now. This is the best low carb substitute for Bisquik available. It has a wide variety of uses and when the recipes are followed it yields delicious results.
December 06, 2012Reviewer: Thor in Minnesota* I make garlic, cheddar biscuits just like you would get at a certain seafood restaurant with "red" in their name, and I make them without the heavy carbs. They are 2 carbs per biscuit and are awesome! My whole family loves them!
November 30, 2012Reviewer: Lyn in Arkansas* I was pleasantly surprised by this baking mix. It is by far the best low carb mix I have tried. What a treat to have biscuits that actually taste like biscuits rather than cardboard. I made biscuits for visiting family that are not "low carbers" and they even liked them. The texture is a little different than Bisquick and it needs a little more salt but I am overall very pleased. I can't wait to start using it in other recipes. I will be ordering it again.
November 28, 2012Reviewer: Karen in Arizona* This is an awesome product!! I've never tried any other low carb baking mix and never will. I read many reviews and took to heart some of the suggestions and comments. For me, the cheese biscuits were a bust but I've made lots of waffles and pancakes. I made the brownies for a family dinner and they were a big hit. I make like hamburger buns, too, but sometimes they're a little dry but taste fine. I think I just have to keep experimenting to get it just right. I really recommend this product.
October 30, 2012Reviewer: bernice in Louisiana* They make great pancakes, biscuits, coating mix for meat. Also a great price for 3 pounds.
October 30, 2012Reviewer: Steven in Virginia* I'm sold on this product. The pizza dough recipe and the one for the cheese muffins (I used Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheese) were excellent. I can't wait to experiment more.
October 26, 2012Reviewer: Cynthia in New York* This stuff is fabulous. My favorite use is to make no guilt low carb biscuits in my mini Wolfgang Puck pie maker. All I do us mix 3/4 cup of it with enough heavy cream to hold it together, throw it in and bake it for 14 minutes. (The Puck pie maker holds a lot more than the typical minis.) As good as, and arguably better than, any biscuit I've eaten.
October 19, 2012Reviewer: Shannon in Utah* Finally something I can use to make low carb treats! I've used this mainly for cookies and pancakes - the two things I miss when low carb-ing. It's expensive, but worth it when you're craving a peanut butter cookie or pancake. And your waistline will thank you! Delicious and thankfully wheat based.
October 18, 2012Reviewer: Denise in Indiana* So glad to discover this low-carb flour substitute! It makes excellent biscuits and pancakes. Made some lemon squares with it too, and they were decent. Wasn't too impressed with the taste or texture of its pizza crust though (if I make that again, I'll doctor it up with some herbs and maybe some grated cheese). Honestly, this product has opened up a whole new dimension to my low-carb eating. Using this and Splenda, I can bake low-carb substitutes for just about anything containing flour and sugar. What a Godsend.
October 09, 2012Reviewer: Elizabeth in California* Love this product, you can make so many different things with it! It tastes great!
September 27, 2012Reviewer: Jenny in Texas* I did not like for the pizza crust. It tasted too much like a biscuit for me, but I am looking forward to trying other recipes .
September 19, 2012Reviewer: Tamara in Missouri* This is a great alternative for people who are on a plan to reduce their total carb intake. The only complaint I have with the product is the aftertaste. I have made biscuits twice and honestly put the mix in my freezer as I was kinda turned off by the taste. I will break it out and give it a try once again and see if my taste have changed.
September 13, 2012Reviewer: Lisa in Colorado* Best low-carb invention yet. This stuff is fabulous. The only problem I have with it is that it gives me heartburn. I will put up with heartburn to have a pizza crust or a real loaf of homemade bread. Prilosec, here I come!
September 08, 2012Reviewer: Beth in Georgia* Carbquik has given me healthy access to so many things I love but had given up! Just made chicken pot pies! Yummy! And also make pizza crusts. Very versatile!
September 08, 2012Reviewer: Marilyn in Florida* My husband is diabetic and Carbquik does not raise his blood sugar at all. Amazing product as we both follow a low carb lifestyle. Don't know how we would survive without it!
September 08, 2012Reviewer: Janet in Maine* Recently bought this, and so far have made cheese biscuits and blueberry pancakes, both of which were very tasty. The texture is obviously different from standard ingredients, but pleasant in its own way. I'll definitely be keeping it in the house!
One note: I had to add extra liquid to both recipes to achieve a "normal" consistency. I found that the dough/batter spread out far more than regular flour recipes, so next time I'll hold back on liquid and see what happens. Don't expect a "pourable" pancake batter!
September 07, 2012Reviewer: Brandon in Texas* This product is great for those with Type 1 Diabetes as well as Type 2. For Type 1 diabetics using a pancake recipe and substitute half carbquick, and half whole wheat flour and a little flaxseed thrown in makes pancakes on a lower glycemic level. With a lower level of insulin I can eat 4-5 of these with sugar free syrup, turkey bacon, sausage, and 10 ounces of milk and still be at 120-125 two hours later. I hope someone post a wheat bread recipe made with half of the carbalose flour or carbquik.
September 03, 2012Reviewer: Cindy in Michigan* I could not believe it when I used Carbquik and made the Red Lobster biscuits as shown on the back of the box - they tasted just like them! I have used this to make muffins, cakes and bread and everything tastes great! I have my whole family hooked.....they are also using it. Now I can enjoy pies, muffins and anything baked without worrying about the carbs. Keep up the great work!
August 29, 2012Reviewer: Jo in Alabama* We loved this product as far as the taste ,but my son has type 1 diabetes and even when taking the amount of insulin needed for a biscuit his sugar was high after a 1 hour check and also a 2 hour check . People on low carb lifestyles may need to check their Blood sugar also because I had a slight raise also ,but for diabetics it can be dangerous.
So diabetics need to be aware of this ,maybe it will not effect everyone like it did us . They are very tasty and he is very sad that he is not able to eat them maybe the fiber count is wrong . If we counted them at 5 carbs per biscuit maybe it would have worked out better but we will not be buying them again unless they fix the carb count.
August 12, 2012Reviewer: Susan in Ohio* This stuff is a miracle!! It makes the low carb diet tolerable. I love to make biscuits with it. So yummy with the Walden Farms Strawberry or Apple Butter on them.
July 31, 2012Reviewer: Marilyn in Alabama* I am in love with this product. I am on a low carb diet and use this for baking or most anything that I did with regular high carb flour. Cakes, pie crust, biscuits..anything! Love it!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 28, 2012Reviewer: Debra in Texas* This mix has a very slight aftertaste, but it doesn't bother us that much. Since my hubby is diabetic and I have a severe soy allergy, this mix is our number one choice!
July 27, 2012Reviewer: sasha in Louisiana* This flour is AWESOME I was using a different flour but since finding this flour I need nothing else. I am an avid baker and this flour does it all.
July 25, 2012Reviewer: Rebecca in Georgia* I have used this product to replace several high carb items. Biscuits, pancakes, waffles, muffins are some examples. I also use this product for breading fish, chicken, squash etc. Carbquik has helped replace some things in my eating program that I greatly missed.
July 21, 2012Reviewer: Loianne in Louisiana* My cousin, the Home Economist/RN, recommended this baking mix saying that I must use it to keep myself from missing the standard baked items I, as a Southerner, would miss otherwise. Boy, was she right. This mix takes some change of cooking instinct, but so far all recipes I tried have been winners. Especially pancakes and biscuits & sausage gravy. It is a BIG security blanket for my coping with cooking for low carb weight loss for me and my husband. It's like dieting for two! Thanks, cuz and thanks TOVA.
July 16, 2012Reviewer: Lisa in Texas* Love this!! Great to make a quick muffin (equal parts Carbquik and SF syrup - love the blueberry) and pancakes. My husband prefers the recipe I found using CQ to make pancakes better than traditional pancakes. My sister has made the brownies and muffins from the recipes inside the box and her family (non low carbers) loves them. Highly recommended!
July 16, 2012Reviewer: Donna in Florida* We just tried the Carquik Bake Mix and it is fabulous! I made muffins, bread and pancakes so far and they turned out delicious! With my husband being on the Atkins diet this has been such a treat for him to have a variety to eat! Thanks for carrying this product!
July 08, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Texas* So happy to have found this product. I use it all the time for basically anything I would've used flour for. It is so versatile and easily substitutes in traditional recipes. When used for frying, it browns more quickly so turn the heat down.
July 07, 2012Reviewer: kim in North Carolina* I haven't had biscuit and gravy since October 2011 when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. Today I made biscuit and gravy with carbquik and smiled with every bite!! I highly recommend this product for diabetics who miss their biscuits.
June 29, 2012Reviewer: Rhonda in Texas* I got my shipment in today and had to try out the cheddar biscuits, oh my do they ever taste like Red Lobster's! Just remember there is a lot of fiber in each serving, which is a good thing for most of us. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!
June 25, 2012Reviewer: Leon in Montana* I don't know exactly what's "enzyme modified flour", or just how low-carb this product really is, but I decided to try it anyway. I used it as part of a breading for chicken strips. The crust had a somewhat powdery texture, but wow they were insanely good. So good in fact, I'm truly skeptical to Carbquik's 2 "net" carb per serving claim - so I won't be using this for waffles or breads, only for a nice crust for fried chicken.
June 22, 2012Reviewer: Eleonre in New York* This is an amazing product and has saved me a lot of grief. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two months ago and I am a cake lover. I always felt hungry (or maybe you could call it was not satisfied and "wanting something") until I found this. I made the pound cake twice already (my glucose numbers stay down) and am going to try to tweak it a bit. The batter comes out too thick and there is no way that I can pour it into the pan. I just scoop it out of the mixing bowl and drop it into the baking pan. The second time I made it, I measured differently (by fluffing up the mix and spooning into the measuring cup, making sure I didn't let it get packed) and it still came out thick. I think that if I can get it to come out a little thinner, it might be less dry, not that it is bad. I also had to reduce the baking time to 45 minutes, but that could just be my oven, although I never had this problem before.
I accidentally added 1/2 stick butter too much but that didn't harm the cake, it just came out more "buttery". The next time I might add one or two additional eggs to see what happens.
The texture is a little different but the flavor is great. I go to weekly "hot rod meets" and handed the cake out and everyone loved it (and I don't think they were just trying to not hurt my feelings!)
I made strawberry shortcake out of it (I sliced up some strawberries, doused the cake with Torani sugar free strawberry syrup, put the sliced strawberries on it, and a small dollop of sugar free cool whip) and it was wonderful and it felt like I was eating something "really bad".
I also made the cheese biscuits and they were wonderful, but I had to add at least an additional half times as much cream and water, as the dough was extremely dry. Actually, that the dough needs more moisture is the only problem I've had with it and that is "fixable".
I highly recommend this product to any that needs to watch their carbs or is diabetic!
June 08, 2012Reviewer: Michael in Tennessee* I've only used this for breading when pan frying things like fish, pork chops, and chicken. It works pretty well for that. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because I can't seem to get that really crisp breading I like (and do fry on lower temp as it'll burn quicker at higher temps than regular flour) - but for a low carb substitute it's more than adequate.
June 07, 2012Reviewer: Cheryl in Missouri* oh my goodness.....This product is wonderful.....It exceeded my expectations big time. I use it everywhere I would use bisquick or flour. Love this product...
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 03, 2012Reviewer: Liza in Texas* I'm sorry i really wanted to like this product but i was very dissapointed.ive only made pancakes and biscuits so far, i followed the directions to the T and they were to chunky to pour on the skillet so the second batch i tried more water and it looked ok.So i poured it on the skillet and waited for the first side to cook so then i tried flipping them over and it just fell apart.....maybe im doing something wrong with the pancakes.But the biscuits came out right just tasted like cardboard no flavor at all.This was a waste of my time and money!
June 01, 2012Reviewer: shauna in Illinois* UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! Finally a low carb product that lives up to all the hype! Yes, it really is THAT GOOD!! This is a godsend for people who are watching their carbs. So very glad to have found this product. This is the best deal on the net for Carbquick as well... other sites charge twice as much! I LOVE YOU CARBQUICK, AND I LOVE YOU NETRITION.COM *****doing a happy dance******
June 01, 2012Reviewer: Judith in Florida* My husband is not overweight (6'2", 182 lbs.) but due to a serious surgery became a Type 2 Diabetic and has not had biscuits with sausage gravy since he was a kid. He has it now and loves it all because of Carbquik.
May 24, 2012Reviewer: Suzanne in New Hampshire* I feel like I have died and gone to heaven. I tried Carbquik in the past and though I thought it was OK I didn't love it. Have they changed the recipe or have my taste buds just changed? I made the cheddar biscuits and they were delicious !!! No aftertaste or anything. I'm so happy to have this. I can make biscuit sandwiches - Yay !!! If I never use it for anything else I'll be happy although from what I'm reading it is very versatile.
May 17, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Arkansas* My main use is for sausage-cheese balls, exactly following the recipe "Sausage Balls" on the Tova website. My picky-eater son and I think they are at least as good as the ones made from Bisquick. They are a lifesaver during the winter party season, can be packed in a lunchbox, and make a great breakfast.
I've also used this for thickening gravy and it works as well as flour.
May 16, 2012Reviewer: Dina in Ohio* This bake mix is heaven on earth. It is everything that I wanted it to be and more. I just got it in the mail today, and baked up my first batch of cheesy biscuits. A MUST HAVE for low carb dieting.
May 13, 2012Reviewer: Genive in Ohio* This baking mix is great for making biscuits & pancakes (all I have used it for). I like the pancakes better than any other pancake mix I have ever used & this mix is healthier! Very good product.
April 30, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Florida* Low carber for 2 years. Wasn't sure how the biscuits were going to turn out but they were AMAZING!! :)
April 27, 2012Reviewer: Jim and Amber in Mississippi* Got it for the first time recently and made the biscuits and the comparison to Red Lobster biscuits on the box is dead on correct!! GREAT BISCUITS! We made pancakes a couple times too and loved them to. Can't wait to make more recipes with it so we are back for more. Outstanding.
April 17, 2012Reviewer: Barbara in Texas* It is a good product, has a bit of an after taste, but not bad. It can be iffy to cook biscuits with..sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. I use it for breading and in sauces pretty much. You have to be willing to work with it. I use it in place of bisquick to make Impossible cheese burger pie, use biskquick recipe but I double the about of Carbquik, makes a great almost there burger pie.
April 06, 2012Reviewer: Judy in Texas* My husband & I are both on a low carb food program. For months we have not eaten any type of bread product. I bought the Carbquik Baking Mix and we love it. Every Saturday I make a large pan of the cheese biscuits. They are delicious. Also the pancakes. I would recommend Carbquik Baking Mix to everyone who bakes.
April 05, 2012Reviewer: MELISSA in Western Australia* I love this mix. I use it to make boneless buffalo chicken pieces, batter and fry zucchini, my own mozzarella sticks, fried chicken, fried pork chops...you name it. If you want to bread something to bake or fry and still stay true to your low carb diet/way of life, this stuff is just what you need.
March 27, 2012Reviewer: Serena in Georgia* Love this product! It is the best of both worlds. I can have my pancakes and eat them too! I have also used it to make blueberry muffins. They turned out great. They don't puff up quite as much as they would using other baking mixes. But that did not affect the taste at all.
March 23, 2012Reviewer: Cristen in Texas* MMMmmmMMMMmm!!! This is a great way to make meals more interesting! I love the biscuits and I am looking forward to waffles again :)
March 22, 2012Reviewer: Melanie in Georgia* This is a miracle product! I'm on a doctor-ordered low-carb diet and I am a HUGE bread lover. Plus, I love to bake. I have made everything from biscuits, to pizza crust, to chicken & dumplings with Carbquik! So far, everything has been amazing.
March 14, 2012Reviewer: EJ in Michigan* I have only made pancakes so far, but they were delicious. They are lighter than regular pancakes, sort of 'melt in your mouth', but good texture. The batter seemed too thick so I added quite a bit more liquid, the pancakes were good, but very delicate when flipping. The next time, I followed the instructions, but added only a touch more liquid and they were Great! (I don't like thick pancakes.) They're also very pretty in appearance. I have altered a cookie recipe to be low-carb using the Carbquik and other ingredients, will let you know how they turn out.
16 of 16 people found the following review helpfulMarch 11, 2012Reviewer: Carol in Texas* I love this stuff! I make pancakes, but change the recipe on box. I normally only make a 1/2 a batch so this is what I do, makes 4-6 inch pancakes
1 cup carbquik 1/2 tsp real vanilla 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon 3/4 cup unsweatened Almond Milk (if still thick add a little more Almond Milk) Almond breeze has 2 carbs per cup Silk has 1 and only 35-40 calories per cup) 1/4 cup egg beaters original (25 calories no carbs no fat) 1/8 to 1/4 tsp baking powder
For syrup, I use Walden Farms pancake syrup (no calories and takes great).
I use butter flavored spray to cook them on. I do not put any butter or oil in the pancake mixture!!! They do not need it! Heat the pan on medium with spray (do not get too hot it will burn). In between each pancake remove from stove spray again and while still hot, but not on burner pour another one in and put back on the burner. If you do this right, you will be like me and have them at least once a week for breakfast. I have even made extra up, and warm them back up in the same pan I made them in.
March 04, 2012Reviewer: Morgan in Florida* So far I have only used this once to make chocolate chip cookies for my family. They were a hit and no one could tell they were a low carb version. In fact, one family member, who is diabetic, said these tasted like Nestle Toll House cookies but didn't negatively impact her blood sugar. I have already been asked to make more cookies with this bake mix. I will definitely keep it on hand.
March 03, 2012Reviewer: carolyn in New York* I love this stuff!
March 02, 2012Reviewer: Michelle in Colorado* CarbQuik is simply AMAZING! I don't usually have time to do reviews, but I have to tell people on low-carb diets about CarbQuik. When you are craving carbs, bread, biscuits, and you just think there's no alternative...you will open up your low-carb world with this product. My husband was skeptical when I got the griddle out and said I was going to make pancakes. They were so good, the next week, he made cheese biscuits...then the ultimate, I made a pizza. Who would think they could eat a pizza on a low-carb diet?! Thank you for carrying this product.
February 29, 2012Reviewer: randal in Minnesota* This is a very good product to help those coping with diabetes. I bought it specifically for making pancakes. While it did taste a little bland, by using 1/3 bisquick in the mix it perked up the taste and kept the carbs down. It's a winner for me whenever I crave pancakes.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 28, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Louisiana* I finally ordered this, made a blueberry cobbler when it came in and now I don't know how we lived without it on our low carb diet! I do wish it less expensive.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 23, 2012Reviewer: Stephanie in Nevada* I love this stuff! I make biscuits for my breakfast every morning. I only make enough for 2 biscuits though. It's wonderful with butter and eggs! I made the cheddar biscuits and my husband liked them and he doesn't do low-carb. My only warning is that if you eat too much, you can get a little bound up. Drink lots of water!
February 20, 2012Reviewer: Dewayne in Texas* I just got this for the first time and made pancakes, I used unsweetened almond milk instead of whipping cream and I loved it.
February 17, 2012Reviewer: Lidia in New Jersey* Great alternative to traditional products. Very versatile, glad I bought it and will continue to use this!!
February 11, 2012Reviewer: Lori in Iowa* Great low carb product! It took me a few times to get used to the taste - because it's low carb, but I knew that if I tried other recipes and did some experimenting, it would be just fine. I was right! I was still able to lose weight and haven't had any negative side affects. You can go to their website and find more recipes than what's listed on the inside of the box. Puff pancakes are my favorite!! When making them, I've found you need to add 1/2 cup water or the batter will be a little thick. I hope this product will be around for a long time!!
February 08, 2012Reviewer: Jolanda in South Carolina* I really enjoy using this product to make muffins and breads. I made the pound cake from the recipe inside the box and it was awesome. I baked the cake in a bundt cake pan and was able to get 24 servings which lowered the carb count. It was a little dry so I have a low carb glaze that I plan to put on it next time (lemon flavor) which will solve that issue. It's also great to use as a coating on chicken livers that I bake rather than fry. It gives them a fried look.
February 04, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Arizona* This stuff is the best tasting low-carb baking mix we have found. Everything we have made with it has been tasty. We have just about finished off the first bag and are ordering 2 more.
February 02, 2012Reviewer: Patricia in Texas* This is the most amazing and versitable product I have ever boughten.
February 02, 2012Reviewer: Peggy in Florida* I love this product!!! I buy it all the time. Makes the best pancakes.
0 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 25, 2012Reviewer: Rick in West Virginia* Two swollen thumbs down.
Being type II diabetic and following a low carb diet (modified Adkins diet), I was hoping Carbquick would satisfy my craving for biscuits, pancakes, etc. That was the plan, until I tasted the results. OK, perhaps I messed up, so I had a friend make a batch of pancakes for me, just to see. No, the reaction was the same. This stuff tastes like crap!
In the words of Mr. T, aka B.A from A team: I pity the foo who likes this stuff! Carbquik, keep working on it. It is a good premise and I hope for improvement. Until then, I'll stick with the Carb blockers and simply indulge in real bread on occasion.
January 23, 2012Reviewer: Deborah in Virginia* Love! I've made the brownies, cheesecake, pizza, and cheese muffins so far and they are ALL fantastic. And this big box goes a LONG way.
January 23, 2012Reviewer: Peggy in Florida* I love this product. It's low calorie and low carb option with high fiber makes this one of my favorite breakfast options especially when I'm heading to the gym. It doesn't leave you feeling ill like a protein shake can if you hit the cardio hard. It gives you enough energy to get your day started without blowing your calories or carbs. I like making a pancake like bread in the morning. 1/3 cup carbquick, 1 egg and a splash of milk some vanilla extract. Mix and microwave it in a bowl for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and done! Add some fruit or sugar free syrup/jelly on top and it's delicious. Fast pancake! You can even add savory spices/cheese and use it as a bun with your eggs.
January 22, 2012Reviewer: Kathy in Iowa* Love this stuff!! Use it every morning as a "sandwich thin" for my eggs. 2 Tblsp. Carbquik, 1 Tblsp. Bob's Red Mill Golden Flax Meal, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 c. water. Mix together and put half in each of two muffin top pan cups. Bake at 375 for 10 min. DELICIOUS !!!
January 21, 2012Reviewer: Jennifer in New Mexico* Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!! I'm a low carb dieter and I love carbquik. We've made so many things with it so far. There is an after taste but nothing really too bad. The texture is just like what you'd expect from the full carb version and the fiber is great. I find it hard to get in fiber everyday with the low carb diet. This has really solved that problem. I've fed this to my kids and boyfriend. They all liked it...unless your very picky this is an option for you :)
January 16, 2012Reviewer: SHERRY in Oregon* I was a little hesitant ordering a pancake mix but I really wanted a low-carb option. I mixed as directed and it was a thick consistency. I usually add a whipped egg white and 1 T. of lemon juice to my regular mix at the end and I did the same with this mix and the pancakes turned out great. tender and fluffy. I was pleasantly surprised. Would order it again.
January 13, 2012Reviewer: Petra in New York* I really like this product, it enables me to have a lot of things that I miss on a low carb diet. The belgium waffle recipe is out of this world!! Tastes BETTER than the real thing....how is that even possible?!? Light and fluffy with a nice buttery taste as are the pancakes, but I usually use less butter than it calls for. Ive also made the turkey pot pie recipe, but with chicken, and it is also very yummy! also, if you like over easy or poaches eggs like me, you have something to dunk in your yolk! Lots of uses, this is well worth the money!
January 07, 2012Reviewer: Sharon in Illinois* This is the most outstanding product! I use it for everything and the price is the best! It can be used to make anything! The taste is out of this world. You would never know you are eating low carb. I most highly recommend this product to anyone who likes rolls, pancakes, scones, biscuits, etc. There are too many delicious items you can make with this product to list.
December 12, 2011Reviewer: James in Kentucky* I wasn't sure what to expect from this mix, having been a Bisquik fan for years, but was very surprised to find this to be just as simple to use. I have been experimenting for the last couple of days, making different items such as waffles, biscuits, and even yeast rolls. I really enjoy the flavor and texture, and even the "not-so-lo-carb" people in my house enjoy them as well. It's great to have "breads" in such a low carb formula!!
December 09, 2011Reviewer: James in Alabama* I like to make flat bread. I have made it in the microwave, the oven, and on a griddler in the closed position. The griddler is very nice because it turns out crisp crunchy flat bread that can be split open and use for sandwiches.
My wife makes biscuits in the oven. We both like them
We usually mix in flax flour and sometimes oat fiber.
Carbquick is to white flour as an Atkins bar is to candy. Both are good but they are different. I have come to prefer our low-carb bread over any commercial bread or home baked white flour bread.
To be able to eat good tasting bread that has almost no net carbs and is an excellent source of fiber is a terrific thing.
December 09, 2011Reviewer: Dawn in California* I love Carbquik! I was very hesitant to get this but I have made cheese biscuits 4 times. Recipe on box (like Red Lobster's)They came out delicious. (I used milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2 and used about a 1/4 cup more cheese than it called for but they were lovely. Now I'm ordering 3 more boxes to try some other things.
December 05, 2011Reviewer: Chris in Missouri* This product is much like Bisquick without all the carbs. I use it for a multitude of things. I also purchase the Dixie Diner Smaps Cereal (Sweet Maple) and use the Carbquik to make an awesome cookie that my diabetic husband LOVES. We enjoy the many recipes inside and outside the box itself. Since my husband is diabetic I use NO white flour and if I cook/bread/bake anything, I only use Carbquik. Staying on a low carb diet has helped bring my husband's diabetes under control. Low carb is the key. We are very thankful for Carbquik.

I have never reviewed a product before, but felt I had to tell about my experience. This tasted SO bad I threw away the remainder of the product. I tried the brownie recipe on the inside and I swear there were bits of waxy paraffin-like bits in the mix. Yuck. Please don't buy this product. There must be something else out there!

November 02, 2011Reviewer: Brenda in Texas* I love this stuff. I have created many of my own recipes with it. My husband discovered a few years ago that he was diabetic. The doctor put him on a low carb diet. He doesn't feel he is missing out on anything since we discovered Carbquick. He even gets biscuits and rolls with Carbquick.
October 28, 2011Reviewer: Rodney in Idaho* Absolutely Great! We love this product!
October 15, 2011Reviewer: Melissa in New York* Thank God for Carbquik! This is a delicious product that allows me to eat items I had no longer been able to eat, especially pizza, making the crust with Carbquik. I can't believe it tastes so good, and only has 2 net carbs per serving.
October 10, 2011Reviewer: Rene in Florida* This mix is wonderful for low carb baking and doesn't taste low carb at all! Made it through the holidays without gaining a pound by using carb quick instead of flour--So relieved to be able to bake and not worry about gaining the weight back. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to avoid carbs.
October 08, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Michigan* LOVE this product! It's simple to use and very tasty.
September 28, 2011Reviewer: Shannon in Florida* I know that the price can turn folks off. However, I found that I could make two weeks worth of dinners, biscuits, and pancakes with a box! Did I mention I have a family of 5? It is really versatile and it will become a staple for my family for years to come. I can't wait till the holidays so I can try altering some of my favorite holiday treats.
September 25, 2011Reviewer: Suzanne in Western Australia* Easy to use, very good product, lots of uses.
September 20, 2011Reviewer: A customer in California* I just made lemon cookies using a combination of this flour (100g), coconut flour (50g Coconut Secret), and almond meal flour (50g Honeyville). They were the best tasting sugar free cookies I've made so far, with an extremely low net carb count per cookie. I will order Carbquik again.
September 20, 2011Reviewer: vernita in Georgia* I love using Carbquik for pancakes and LindaSue's garlic bisquits.
September 17, 2011Reviewer: bruce in New York* We are on a limited carb diet and carbquik really helps make the diet go easier. Having a flour substitute which is low carb is the answer!!! Lost 24 lbs as of today. 8th week!!!
September 15, 2011Reviewer: Vincent in Arizona* It makes a great breading for Chicken Cutlets, Cod fish made like fish sticks, baked pork chops and very good for morning biscuits, we also use it to make crab cakes.
September 13, 2011Reviewer: Karen in New Hampshire* I made the cheese biscuits from the recipe on the box, but didn't think it looked right, so I doubled the liquid. I got some very flat and very flexible biscuits. The next few times I made them I skipped the salt and garlic. Through trial and error I have come to make them exactly following the recipe and they turn out awesome. Duh! I've found that they are better if you get your hands in there and mix the ingredients fairly thoroughly. I then divide it into 2 halves and gently form a tube from which I pinch off 1/5 at a time and place on a silicone baking sheet. I have also flattened them like I used to do when I made non low carb biscuits. Not a good idea. Just pinch the dough off and place it on the pan (or baking sheet) and they come out beautiful as well as very good tasting. I also made pancakes once and they tasted good, but I need a bit more practice with them. Just for the biscuits alone, I think the Carbquick is a great thing and would definitely recommend it to anyone on a low carb diet. (Have only been low carb for 4 weeks, so haven't tried many recipes with Carbquick yet.)
September 08, 2011Reviewer: A customer in North Carolina* You can't tell the difference from regular bisquick which is heavy in starch. This is a much better choice and quality, it tastes great and can be used in all dishes. I like the recipes on the box as well.
September 08, 2011Reviewer: Paula J in Western Australia* This is an excellent source of low-carb baking! It tastes just like Bisquick and we use it for nearly everything. It doesn't substitute for flour, but we've used it in many different ways and it's delicious!
September 07, 2011Reviewer: Kimberly in Georgia* Carbquik Bake Mix is a lifesaver for a low carb diet. I plan to continue using it for all of my baking needs.
September 06, 2011Reviewer: Gayle in California* This is great!! Great for lower carb breading of meats/ chicken or fish- and I use it with other flours to reduce carb count in baking... I think it is fantastic!! I have not tried Atkins flour. Also thanks to Netrition for your low cost shipping- on this item it makes a difference!!!
September 03, 2011Reviewer: kathy in Western Australia* Wow! A one box, low carb mix for pancakes, coating fish, pizzas, anything that I did before low carb lifestyle! I just used it as a flour replacement. Now I've ordered another box and the flour, too! Next, I'll try baking with Tova products.
August 21, 2011Reviewer: Nicole in West Virginia* AWESOME!
I didn't notice a difference in taste or texture when I bake with Carbquik. It made great breads, muffins, cakes, pancakes, crepes, crusts..... very happy!
Their company website has awesome recipe ideas!
August 11, 2011Reviewer: Denise in California* I just got my first order of Carbquick and made biscuits, and OMG !!!!! I am soooo impressed !!!!!!!! I read all of the reviews, and I just don't understand what any of the negative reviews were about. Some complained the mix was too salty, it isn't, others complained it was too sweet, it isn't. Others complained they hated the smell of it...it smells pretty much like Bisquick. I will order this amazing product as long as they keep making it. The company was extremely helpful when I had any questions (thanks Frank). I have always loved to bake, and have missed that very much. Now I can make anything I want and still stay on our low carb lifestyle. I LOVE all of that fiber you get with this, and even though I have only made simple biscuits so far, I had no trouble making them at all. This far surpassed my expectations. I have tried other products made with soy and they taste AWFUL!!! Carbquick is simply amazing, and I will always have it in my kitchen. Thank you for such an amazing product, I will always order it.
August 11, 2011Reviewer: Denise in California* To add onto what I just wrote.... my daughter just took the biscuits I just made and added (on top of them) a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder, then topped that with some swiss cheese and topped that with green onions, then she melted it in the still hot oven for a few seconds to melt the cheese DEEEEEELICIOUS !!!!!! I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things we will be making with Carbquick !!

Well, I just made the biscuits and I made gravy using this product it was WONDERFUL !!!. I used a little bacon grease & 2 TLBS of Carbquik, browned it in my skillet, added my seasonings,then added half heavy cream & water. It tasted just like my regular gravy that I always make. You wont be disappointed with this !!!!!
August 02, 2011Reviewer: Rory in Florida* This has been a God send....I have made the muffins plain and the taste to me is no different than Bisquik..Great, easy recipes..I have experimented with the plain muffins by adding in Hersheys semi sweet cocoa and milk chocolate chips into the mix...I get the best tasting chocolate chip muffins !
August 01, 2011Reviewer: Katherine in Idaho* I am diabetic, but still able to control without insulin. This product allows me to have rustic cobblers and biscuits and other bakery items that I would otherwise have to fore-go. Thank you Carbquik!
August 01, 2011Reviewer: Sandra in South Carolina* i have enjoyed adding carbquick to my low carb diet. It has added so much variety to our meals . Even my husband has enjoyed most of the recipes I've used it in. I'm having lot's of fun experimenting.
July 18, 2011Reviewer: Leilani in Western Australia* It is so nice to finally have a quick mix that is not only easy, but tastes good and is good for you!
July 17, 2011Reviewer: DeAnn in Colorado* I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Although I've only made waffles and biscuits so far... The batter is easier to work with than other mixes I've tried (not rubbery) and it lacks that strange cardboard taste we've all come to know from some low-carb products. I also love that they cover the box with recipes (including the inside of the box, so rip that sucker open!). In my opinion, this product was well worth the money.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 11, 2011Reviewer: Melanie in California* I just went on facebook to see if there's a fanclub for this product. There's not. I might start one. I'm on a super low carb, low calorie, IF lifestyle which I absolutely love, and which was consisting almost entirely of meat and green vegetables. It was going swell but I would just get these awful carb cravings about once a week and didn't really know what to do. Then I found this stuff- it's AMAZING. It's so low in calorie and carbs I just can't believe it! I seriously will just randomly mix it with whatever I feel like (ie: some combination of Da Vinci syrup, almond milk, whey protein, Pb2 etc.) until it's doughy, throw it in the microwave for a few minutes, and voilia- some sort of sweet and delicious muffiny cake thing never fails to come out. I'll even through SF pancake syrup on my random carbquick concoctions and what do you know? it's like pancakes! (I can't even imagine what will ensue when I attempt real pancakes following some sort of actual recipe- should be divine). This stuff is so filling and tasty! It's making my life so easy now! I feel like I should order 100 boxes or something just in case it goes away.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 09, 2011Reviewer: Rachael in North Carolina* This stuff is awesome! I love bread and bread-like products, and I am just tickled by Carbquik. The pancakes do kinda stink, but everything else I have made has come out great once I tinkered with the recipes a bit. For example, for regular drop biscuits I follow the recipe on the box, but I also add about a half of a stick of melted butter when mixing the batter. I also use an extra egg when making the Belgian waffles, and I recommend about a tablespoon of splenda. Bottom line, this is the best thing that could happen to a carb lover who wants to cut back on carbs without giving up taste.
July 07, 2011Reviewer: Marlena in New York* A great product. Sometimes it needs to be fooled with as it absorbs moisture peculiarly and I think it always benefits from some added baking powder. Can't live without it.
0 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 04, 2011Reviewer: Diana in North Carolina* I have bought two different boxes of Carbquik, thinking the first box must've been a dud after reading all the rave reviews. Tried making biscuits, muffins, pancakes, quick breads all from recipes on the Carbquik and low carb friends sites. Everything tasted like burnt rubber to me. Had to throw away everything I made and finally the boxes and bags of Carbquik flour.
June 22, 2011Reviewer: Nancy in Western Australia* I love this stuff! It makes the lightest waffles ever...they melt in your mouth. I make a double batch using half and half,2 eggs and vanilla. Then store the extra waffles in the freezer for a quick breakfast , snack or anytime with only 4 Carbs per waffle! Unbelievable...it is worth the price...although I wouldn't mind it being a little cheaper.
June 12, 2011Reviewer: A customer in California* I really like Carbquik. Made a low carb vanilla cake today, and though it didn't taste exactly like a traditional high carb cake, it tasted good. With further tweeking (reduce sweetness of the cake to convert it to a layer cake w/frosting) I think I can get it to be my go-to low carb cake recipe. Here's what I did: preheated oven to 350; used stand mixer to beat 5 eggs with 2 teas palm sugar, 2 teas lakano and 2 teas vanilla for 15 minutes at medium-high speed; reduced mixer speed, added 6 tbl room temp unsalted butter; added 14 drops ez sweet (big bottle, the less sweetened product (add 7 drops if using small, more intensely sweetened product)); drizzled in 1/2 teas agave nectar, 1/2 teas honey, 1/2 teas yacon syrup and 1/2 teas malitol syrup (malitol upsets my stomach when used in even modest amounts so I only use tiny amounts in recipes; I use it because it gives my low carb baked goods a more traditional sweetened taste) (also, as you probably know, honey, agave and palm sugar are high carb sweeteners, so I use in very small amounts to help minimize the "fake sugar" taste of the sugar subs I use). In a separate bowl combined 100g carbquik, 50g almond flour, 1/2 teas salt, 1/2 teas baking powder, 4 scoops of stevia (I like the Kal brand Stevia sold on amazon.com and I use the tiny scoop that comes with the product), 2 heaping teas powdered erythritol, 2 scoops of sugar not (using the little scoop that comes w/product), and 2 teas of diabetisweet. After the dry ingredients were combined, added them abit at a time to the egg mixture still beating away in the stand mixer. Poured batter into greased pan and baked about 40 minutes, checking after half hour. Cake rose very nicely (though fell abit). I'm still working with sugar substitutes to get the sweetness I like, but I try to get the bulk of the recipes sweetness from stevia, ez sweet, erythritol and sugar not. This cake turned out sweet, but not overly so; similar to a snack cake, and definitely needed no frosting. If you want to convert it to a layer cake to frost, reduce the quantity of the sweeteners, but the combination of the sweeteners worked very well I thought, and I detected almost no aftertaste from the carbquik or the sugar substitutes. Hope you try it and if you do, hope you like it. P.S. This is an extremely low carb recipe; estimate entire cake approximately 25 net carbs.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 12, 2011Reviewer: Barry in New York* I had a box of Carbquick that I had bought to make biscuits, which I never got around to doing. However, I made pancakes with it this morning, because I ran out of Big Train. What a disappointment. The recipe proportions of Carbquick to liquid on the box are just wrong. If you use the recommended amount of liquid (water and/or cream) the batter is like a brick. I used a lot more water to get it to a liquidy enough form to pour into a pan. They cooked fine, but the taste was very grainy. Maybe I made them wrong, but i was very disappointed, especially when comparing to the Big Train mix that I usually use( which is also much easier to prepare). Also if you are eating low carb foods, you are probably at least a little concerned about fat too, and this recipe calls for a full stick of butter. I will try to make biscuits with the Carbquick and hope they are better.
June 01, 2011Reviewer: Kathy A in Connecticut* How can you go wrong with this? The cheddar garlic biscuits alone are worth it. I have made clam cakes & all sorts of things with it and sometimes there is a hint of excess fiber, but not so much that you want to stop eating it!
May 24, 2011Reviewer: A customer in New Jersey* I'm very surprised at how tasty this product is. I made a microwave bread with it and it was delicious. I'm going to experiment to see what other recipes of mine I can substitute it in.
May 24, 2011Reviewer: dora in Michigan* Couldn't stay low-carb without it. I find adding about 2 minutes baking time gives better texture.
May 22, 2011Reviewer: DEBORAH in Wisconsin* For a low-carb bake mix, it really is quite delicious. Carbquik doesn't have a funky soy aftertaste that many of these types of mixes have. I've made dozens of the cheddar garlic biscuits (recipe on box) and they're always a hit in our household. I experimented in using it for breading on chicken fried steak to satisfactory results. Of course it wasn't exactly the same as the high carb version, but it definitely "scratched the itch". I even used a teensy bit to thicken up my gravy, but the texture wasn't as smooth as the traditional stuff. I'd do it again anyway!!
May 14, 2011Reviewer: Stacy in Louisiana* Great for biscuits and pancakes. Every other recipe I made using this product tastes like biscuits. I've tried pizza crust and pound cake -taste like biscuits.
May 07, 2011Reviewer: Audrey in New Mexico* This is a wonderful baking product!! We are trying to reduce overall carbs in our diet, and this allows us to enjoy baked goods that are every bit as good --sometimes better! -- as regular flour products produce!!
April 26, 2011Reviewer: kristin in New Mexico* We made waffles in a waffle Iron, and they were awesome! I highly recommend this stuff. No nasty grittiness, no aftertaste! I can not wait to try the pizza!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 19, 2011Reviewer: Kevin in Maryland* The biggest drawback to this product is that the recipes on the box are... poor. Still, if you know what you're doing without using those directions, the product is quite useful.
For biscuits, there's plenty of salt already in the mix, so adding more is a bad idea. Cut in a little butter (about 1 1/2 T. per cup of CarbQuick) and add just enough "milk" (50/50 cream and water) to hold it together.
And... well, that's really all I use it for. I prefer a mix of carbalose flour, coconut flour, and flax seed meal for other baking, but it just doesn't work well for biscuits. This does, and I like it just for that purpose. A tad expensive, but mostly worth it.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulApril 11, 2011Reviewer: Michelle in Missouri* Great mix. Have made a lot of the things on the box. All have been great. Try the pound cake w/ some lemon or almond extract for a great dessert!
March 17, 2011Reviewer: Julie in New York* I've only tried baking the biscuits so far but they're great! The price is decent too. I'll probably order again.
March 11, 2011Reviewer: stephanie in Ohio* I've only made a couple things...pizza crust which was not even edible (I followed the recipe exactlty)...couldn't even eat it, hideous aftertaste. Also tried it to make dumplings last night...they totally fell apart and I effectivily had chicken cream of wheat, lol, but on the upside there was no weird aftertaste.
I'll keep trying some things, but thus far have not been too impressed.
March 05, 2011Reviewer: Katie in Arizona* I use this bake mix for everything. There are recipes in the box and so far each one has been fantastic! I've been using it for months and this product does not stall or stop weight loss.
February 22, 2011Reviewer: Joylene in Nebraska* Love this baking mix. I have made pancakes and pizza (recipe below). Also great for breading chicken. Netrition beats everyone on the web for price.. Even amazon!
White pizza
1 1/2 cups Carbquik 1/3 cup hot water, 120-140 degrees 8 ounces ricotta cheese, whole milk 4 ounces sliced pepperoni 1/2 cup sliced mushroom 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese How To Prepare: -Heat oven to 450ºF. Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Stir together carbquik mix and very hot water; beat until soft dough forms. Knead dough 2-3 minutes till dough is dry and no longer sticky. -Press dough in pizza pan. Spread ricotta cheese over dough. Top with remaining ingredients. -Bake on the lowest rack in hot oven 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Low-Carb Topping Ideas: meats, peppers, olives, asparagus, smoked fish.
Note: If using traditional pizza sauce, par bake crust 7 minutes in a 400ºF oven before adding sauce and toppings. Otherwise, the sauce may soak into the dough causing the pizza to come out soggy. Number of Servings: 8
February 22, 2011Reviewer: richard in Texas* Great for bread craves. Does not elevate blood sugar. Some limitations, works better for somethings than others. A great way to get more fiber as well.
February 20, 2011Reviewer: Sandra in Western Australia* I am still playing with the mix, I am not one that typically bakes. With that said I am having a lot of fun experimenting and the product does not disappoint.
February 17, 2011Reviewer: Sandra in Ohio* We absolutely LOVE this mix. We make virtually everything it has recipes for on the box, and I cannot compliment it more. This is a STAPLE for a low carb lifestyle. Highly recommend.
February 16, 2011Reviewer: Marilyn in Western Australia* This is an excellent product. I will definitely buy this again. The pancakes we made tasted great! Carbquick is a great product for anyone with diabetes! This did not create any rise in blood sugar for me whatsoever.
February 16, 2011Reviewer: karin in Illinois* It's a pretty good product, but it does have an unusual chalky taste (though, that's not particularly surprising with all of the fiber!!!). I'm giving it 3 stars as it's definitely edible and it gets major points from all of the filling effects of the fiber. I have made both the cheddar biscuits and the pizza crust. Both recipes taste nothing like the recipes from its BQ counterpart. Some of the Netrition products are amazing in how much they taste like the real thing...this one doesn't even come close.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 12, 2011Reviewer: nancy in Florida* Super product!!!! I love to bake and now I can enjoy the eating part too. My husband is diabetic and a fussy eater, but he loves this baking mix. (Hint) It makes great fruitcake and Irish Soda Bread. Pie crusts are a breeze. Thank you for a great product. I have most of my friends using it too.
February 10, 2011Reviewer: Kay in Mississippi* I just made the cheese bisquits. They were ok,but it was not enough moisture. I had to double the cream and water. I was going to make the pancakes, but there would be no way to get them pourable with the amount of liquid called for in the recipes.
February 10, 2011Reviewer: Shana in Oklahoma* WONDERFUL!! This is the best low carb cooking mix I have ever tried. We have made everything from pigs in a blanket to cinnamon rolls with this mix. The cheddar biscuits are great. I freeze the cinnamon rolls and biscuits and pop one in the microwave when I suffer from carb cravings and I am happy. The recipes are pretty easy which is good because I am not the best cook in the world. I did make the waffles via the carbquik recipe and they did not turn out the best. Everything else has been great!
February 09, 2011Reviewer: Jerry in Colorado* This is the first baking mix I have purchased. Was all excited about the possibility of eating pancakes, what a disappointment this was. Can't describe the taste, had to add tons of extra water to get to a consistancy that I could pour into the pan. The pancakes were flat, greasy, gritty and just plain terrible. The pancakes completely ruined the sugar free syrup I used on them. I can't understand how anyone would think these taste anything like a pancake. If anyone knows a good recipe for pancakes with this mix, please post it somewhere in a review.
February 07, 2011Reviewer: Becky in Western Australia* I have only made pancakes with this so far but I am extremely pleased with the texture and taste. A low carb veteran, I found myself actually wincing as I prepared to take the first bite. However, they are great and I am so happy to have a pancake fix. I look forward to experimenting with recipes with this mix and I will be keeping it on hand.
February 05, 2011Reviewer: brandon in Florida* Hard to believe its low carb...tastes just like "regular"..my son makes delicious low carb muffins with this mix...
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 28, 2011Reviewer: Kathryn in Ohio* I've only used this to bind crab cakes, burgers and make something between a pancake & crepe. All were very good!!! My only complaint is that the mix is a bit salty-- We tasted this in the pancakes. To remedy this I added some cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange oil to my mix. I also used 1/2 the amount of mix and added almond milk as my liquid. I really like the fiber & protein in this mix!!
January 27, 2011Reviewer: Christina in New York* This product has added so many foods to my low carb diet. I have made biscuits, pizza, chicken parm, and many other delicious meals. There is no weird after taste, and it is not gritty at all.
January 22, 2011Reviewer: Patsy in Missouri* This stuff is great. The brownie recipe on the inside of the box is low-carb heaven. Be sure to mix long enough when it says.
January 22, 2011Reviewer: Adelaide in Missouri* This made good biscuits but I think I got lucky. You really have to be spot on when using the recipe and/or experiment with this product to get good results and I find that to be more trouble than it's worth.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 15, 2011Reviewer: Petra in New York* So far, I've only made pancakes and used it as breading, but both tasted really good! My husband really liked the way the pancakes tasted, but I had an issue with the consistency. I didn't want to use a WHOLE stick of butter for pancakes, so I used half a stick and added more water. I should have added a little more than I did, but most of them came out fine...I had 2 pancakes that didn't cook all the way through. However, despite this issue, the pancakes tasted comparable to Bisquick and were delish!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 09, 2011Reviewer: Daniel in Tennessee* Great product but many of the recipes require some fine tuning. Pancake recipe needed baking soda to make it fluffy and drop the whipping cream for skim milk and add vanilla.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 08, 2011Reviewer: Fred in Texas* I'm a returning customer for Carbquik Bake Mix. I've found it to be an excellent product and helpful in keeping with a low-carb diet for the management of diabetes.
Be careful about the recipes. Some work, some don't. I've found the original Bisquik recipes superior for pancakes, waffles and biscuits. Carbquik can be used successfully as a breading for frying chicken other meats.
January 04, 2011Reviewer: Kim in Virginia* I have to agree with the other reviews the garlic and cheese biscuit recipe is great, I always load up with extra cheese but I am a cheese lover.
December 29, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Virginia* A fabulous healthier version of a cheddar cheese and garlic biscuit. My kids fight for them.
December 26, 2010Reviewer: Tina in Connecticut* Love it....sure made the holiday baking easier for my pre-diabetic husband. It prevented him from eating all the wrong foods as long as I had some "replacements" available.
December 14, 2010Reviewer: Britt in Wyoming* This is amazing.. I have been making waffles and freezing them then toasting in the morning. On some nights putting some peanut butter and sugar free jelly on them. Tastes good and in the first week I have lost weight, and I haven't stopped eating burgers for lunch. very nice.

December 12, 2010Reviewer: Maureen in New York* I love Carbquick, I miss bread products on the low carb diet but I love the biscuits made with Carbquick and don't miss being able to eat bread. Very good product!
December 10, 2010Reviewer: STEVEN in Pennsylvania* This is a god send I've been able to make all kinds of baked goods. Its just unbelievable. I just ordered another 3 boxes. Great product, great price, great taste.
December 04, 2010Reviewer: Alice in Alabama* Made the pancakes according to package directions and they were too soft, mushy and pretty tasteless. Tweaked the recipe as follows: added no milk or water to the Carbquick mix, but added 2 eggs and 1/4 cup olive oil per cup of mix. Also mixed in cooked sausage (if wanting savory pancake) or blueberries (if wanting sweet.) Very nice and very filling.
November 30, 2010Reviewer: Chris in Alabama* This product is great, we make biscuits and pancakes almost every day with it. The biscuits are light and fluffy and pancakes slide right out of the pan - they brown well. We have made the brownies and they are awesome. My kids do not know the difference in this and the other product that you make biscuits with.
November 28, 2010Reviewer: Gloria in Western Australia* Wouldn't be caught with out it. I keep finding new tasty ways to use it. True .. nothing beats real flour, but it's sure better than going without like I've had to do since the 1970's when I started Low Carbing. I've been privileged to add a lot of new foods to my diet in the last 40 years, and Carbguik is one of them.
November 28, 2010Reviewer: Mary in California* I use this just like Bisquick; its easy to work with and tastes great too. I don't use it a lot so keep it in the freezer so it lasts a long time! I'd recommend it; good eating!
November 22, 2010Reviewer: Karen in Tennessee* Great product, can be used in so many ways!!
November 13, 2010Reviewer: cathy in Rhode Island* Last night I made pizza dough using Carbquik. I used the recipe where you actually add yeast to it...It came out really good. My daughter said she actually liked my CQ pizza better than the other pizza I made using regular pizza dough. I am sold...I can now get my pizza fix!!
November 12, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Maine* Excellent-flavor. Very, very good. I was pleasantly surprised- didn't expect to find such a good product.
November 09, 2010Reviewer: Charles in California* Good product, especially if on a low carb diet. Can have one of my favorites, Pancakes.
November 04, 2010Reviewer: Raven in California* Very versatile. The cheese biscuits are really good.
November 04, 2010Reviewer: Jules in California* I love the pancakes!
October 31, 2010Reviewer: Mary in Ohio* I love Carbquik. It's so nice to be able to eat a biscuit while doing low carb. There are some things that I miss but a good biscuit is hard to beat, and Carbquik is wonderful. It also makes great dumplings for chicken n dumplings. Can't say enough about it. Love it. It also makes very light pancake and waffles. Sometimes you have to adjust the amount of liquid to get the required consistency but other than that I have no complaints.
October 28, 2010Reviewer: Kyle in Nebraska* Carbquik Bake Mix makes excellent pancakes and waffles. I haven't tried any of the other recipes, but it's well worth buying, just for the pancakes.
October 11, 2010Reviewer: Gayle in Kentucky* Absolutely the best baking mix ever. I make a yeast bun that is better than any yeast roll or bun you can buy.
1 of 4 people found the following review helpfulOctober 09, 2010Reviewer: A customer in New York* Since ordering, I've baked with Carbquik several times. After the first, the next few times were just vain attempts at trying to convince myself that I could continue using this product after my first bad experience. I made cheese biscuits and pancakes with Carbquik, and found that my blood sugar raised exponentially after consuming a modest amount. It were as if I had baked with regular white flour. I was disheartened to find that this was the result for me, because it was all very delicious. I have since thrown out the rest and will be avoiding any future purchases. I do a lot of low-carb baking, but I suspect my body is used to more natural ingredients. Splenda and the like usually do me in.
October 03, 2010Reviewer: Yvette in Florida* Love using this as "breading" for when I make recipes calling for breading meat, pork chops or chicken. It's fantastic - not even my kids complain about the taste - they enjoy it, too. I've been using this product for many years and will continue to do so!
October 01, 2010Reviewer: Jessica in South Carolina* This is an awesome product...we make low carb cakes, to pizza, and 2 net carbs per serving is incredible....Yes, there is a faint aftertaste to it, but trust me, after not eating bread and carbs for a month, cardboard would be a treat.......(no this product does not taste bad or like cardboard lol).....The price can't be beat on this site, and shipping is always fair..

This was great to make with my favorite quiche recipe and it tasted just as good without Bisquick. Here's the recipe: 3/4 carbquik 1 1/2 c. milk 3 eggs salt/pepper to taste Mix these , set aside. Cut up bacon or sausage and place in pie dish. (about 10 strips) Pour mixed mixture in dish. Add cut up or shredded swiss cheese (8 oz) on top. I like to add some parmesan or asiago on top too! Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Wow! One of my favorite recipes!!!
September 19, 2010Reviewer: Deidre in Texas* I have used the Pioneer and Bisquick baking mixes for years; now that we live the Low Carb lifestyle, I can no longer use these products, so how wonderful it was to find Carbquik. All those old recipes are again possible with minimal changes. Thank you!!
September 17, 2010Reviewer: Teresa in Alabama* This is a great product. As a southern girl one of the things I miss the most on a low-carb diet is biscuits. When I used other low-carb baking products, the soy protein taste took all the joy out of eating them. With this product I can't tell that the biscuits are low-carb. It also works well for other items like pancakes and pizza crust. I no longer feel deprived.
September 16, 2010Reviewer: A customer in California* Wow! I would never have expected a low carb Bisquik substitute to taste so good! Biscuits made ahead with extra sharp cheese and sausage are great when you're running out the door. This is one of the best low carb buys around(and the price is lower here than other websites, by the way).
September 15, 2010Reviewer: Robin in Kansas* Carbquick is like Bisquick but without all the carbs...I made some lemon scones and they are terrific! and the waffles are great as well. I've used it in some other recipes and it's like flour. I'm on my second box.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 13, 2010Reviewer: Brandy in Kentucky* This stuff is really amazing. Works just like bisquick. It is a little flavorless itself but that is real easy to remedy by either seasoning the dough itself or using excellent stuff inside. Try making the drop biscuit recipe with cinnamon, a little splenda and chopped up sugar free special dark bar pieces inside. What an awesome breakfast. Or just use cinnamon in the mix and make some honey butter to go on top with the sugar free honey substitute.
September 13, 2010Reviewer: Priscilla in Massachusetts* Oh my- Chicken pot pie complete with crust and I am still losing weight?!! Simply fabulous- and those cheddar cheese biscuits.. YUMMY. If you haven't bought a box of this stuff yet and you are a serious Atkins follower- what are you waiting for?- order yours now and join the rest of us that have discovered how many more foods we can enjoy!!!
September 09, 2010Reviewer: Val in Ohio* I love carbquik! Finally I can have many of the baked goodies I have forgone for years. I use Bisquick recipes since I find the Carbquik recipes call for too much butter. Works great.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 05, 2010Reviewer: Matthew in Western Australia* I love this stuff! It is absolutely the best Bisquick substitute that you can get. From biscuits to pizza to yummy cobbler, everyone I give a sample to can't believe it's low carb and sugar free. The recipe for cinnamon rolls is excellent, I add sweetened cream cheese on the top (after baking)and it tastes as good as Cinnabon! The price is worth it.
September 03, 2010Reviewer: Lori in North Carolina* I've only used Carbquik for one recipe but I am very impressed. I decided to start with a simple recipe that I loved as a kid - Sausage Balls. Recipe stayed the same except I subbed Carbquik for the Bisquick. Easy peasy - 3 cups Carbquik, 1 lb. crumbled uncooked sausage, 16 oz. shredded cheddar. Mix ingredients up by hand to form something that resembles a meatloaf, then break apart to make balls. Bake @ 350 degrees for about 15-20 mins. Will be trying again soon using a hotter sausage.
September 02, 2010Reviewer: Keri in New York* No, this does not taste exactly like flour - but it is very close and easy to use. If you play around with recipes by adding guar gum or xantham gum and other flours like almond, coconut etc you can make some wonderful breads and desserts. The best mix by far and very versatile.

I have made so many good things with this product since getting my first box, pancakes, biscuits, impossible pies, all without leaving ketosis. I made pancakes for my parents, daughter, and room mate, they loved them. My daughter is super picky so , that's saying A LOT. I will never go without this product in my pantry another day in my life. I am so pleased with this, I can't even believe it's Low Carb.
August 30, 2010Reviewer: Teresa in Texas* I love biscuits, pancakes, pot pie, and cookies. Being on a low carb diet I thought those days were long gone. Guess what!!! I can have my cake and eat it too!!! I have tried all those recipes and more with the CarbQuick mix. Our favorites are the cheddar biscuits, biscuits and gravy, and the Chicken Parmesan is to die for. The chocolate chip cookies are a good fix when you are desperate for something sweet. I have got to say I am amazed that we can eat what we want and have a way to do it.
August 27, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Nevada* This product is the best I've found. Highly recommended!!! Absolutely YUMMY Toll House low carb cookies!!!
August 25, 2010Reviewer: Eileen M in Colorado* This stuff is great. I use it in most places where I would use flour. Sometimes I use 1/2 and 1/2. Also, there are many recipes on the box, in the box, and also on the website. I even use it to thicken gravy, and to "flour" fish. Seems to work for most any place you would use flour.
August 22, 2010Reviewer: Lorraine in Massachusetts* This product makes a low carb lifestyle doable - BAKED GOODS on a low carb diet!!! Yessssssss! I've made biscuits and blueberry muffins so far - both have been great. I find the muffins best when they come out of the oven, so I make the muffin batter, bake what I need, and refrigerate the remaining batter till the next day.
NETRITION is a great website too!!!
August 19, 2010Reviewer: Betty in Georgia* I love it! I am a diabetic and I could never have bread hardly at all, but now I make the biscuits, cornbread, and cinnamon rolls! Even my husband will eat the biscuits. I know they are not the real thing, but they are very good and they satisfy my taste for breads and sweets. I even fry with it. You just have to experiment with it to your taste with seasonings. The thing I haven't mastered yet is the chicken and dumplings and I love them. I use the gluten to hold them together and it did, but it was rubbery. I think I used too much?
August 16, 2010Reviewer: Rebecca in Florida* This is wonderful! I just made some simple drop biscuits to go with my eggs this weekend and I thought they tasted wonderful, but then I have been bread deprived for a few months now but sometime later I come in the kitchen and my housemate asked if I made those biscuits (she hates the taste of anything diet); she tried one and told me they were delightful! I told her they were low carb and you should have seen the look on her face.
August 15, 2010Reviewer: Beverley in Minnesota* This product is wonderful! I can enjoy so many of the low carb recipes and never feel deprived while losing weight at a safe and steady pace. I'm already ordering a second box. Thanks so much!
August 11, 2010Reviewer: Barbara in Florida* Love this product. I can bake and eat pancakes with out any guilt. Anyone who hasn't tried it should. Well worth the money and Netrition has the best price on this that I have found out there.
August 11, 2010Reviewer: Sheri in Ohio* Can't say enough good stuff about this mix, I blew through my first box and I'm on here now ordering two more!!
I've made pancakes, pizza crust and chicken parm so far and plan on doing much much more in the future!! You can bake with it, fry with it, cook with it... I will soon attempt dumplings for chicken paprikash, I can't wait to see how those turn out!
I love, love, love Carbquick!!! I just wish I could buy it locally so I don't have to wait for it to ship!!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 01, 2010Reviewer: Chris in Oklahoma* Carbquik is one of the best low-carb baking mixes I've tried. As a pizza crust it was lack-luster, but for pancakes and such it's a great ingredient. I've modified the pancake recipe to include some blueberries, then bake it in a baking pan for 20 minutes and get delicious blueberry breakfast bars. You almost always need to add baking soda so this becomes a bit more crumbly.
Has a slight taste, but if you use flavors, herbs and such you can make it unnoticeable.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 29, 2010Reviewer: Jeannine in New York* Absolutely cannot live without Carbquick. I usually make banana pancakes with it by using Davinci banana syrup in place of water and a tablespoon of sf banana extract - GREAT STUFF! I have even added extra banana syrup to make the batter thinner and made crepes stuffed with blueberry flavored cream cheese as a dessert treat - also great stuff! Tonight I used it as cutlet breading for the first time - with the right seasonings, GREAT STUFF! Soooo glad to have found it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 24, 2010Reviewer: Geri in Kentucky* I love this product! We have made pancakes, biscuits, and cheesecake. All have been excellent especially the cheesecake. Carbquik is a must have for my pantry.
July 18, 2010Reviewer: DENISE in Ohio* I love this stuff!
July 17, 2010Reviewer: Angie in Texas* Carbquick is a great product. There are countless recipes for carbquick - biscuits, bread, pizza crust, you name it. I love it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 15, 2010Reviewer: Tammy in North Carolina* I've used this quite a few times and LOVE it!!!! I'm going to try to make some fried pickles with it. Keep your fingers crossed.
July 15, 2010Reviewer: Shawn in Kansas* I don't know if I can rate this product high enough. I love it. I bought a box of this and a bag of the Carbalose and haven't even opened the Carbalose yet! My wife has used a yeast roll recipe off their website to make yeast rolls, bierocks, and most recently some buns. When rolled out flatter and buttered it has a very croissant like taste and texture. I've used a much simpler recipe to make some microwaved buns with flax seed and they came out great too. It's hard to believe it's so low in carbs. I only wish that it wasn't so expensive. Netrition by far has the best price so they have a customer for life on this product at the very least! One of these days I'll get around to making some biscuits with it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 07, 2010Reviewer: Caroline in Texas* I have made biscuits, pancakes and a pound cake with Carbquik. Except for the biscuits, I find the recipes work better with additional liquids. I added extra water for the pancakes and one cup sour cream for the pound cake. The pound cake was, by far, the best ever! I only hope I can find more recipes to use this wonderful product! And I wish it would come down drastically in price because I will be going through a box rapidly!
July 05, 2010Reviewer: A customer in California* I have used this to make "Artisan Flat Bread" (google the recipe) and it is fantastic! I also made the cheesy drop biscuits (recipe on the box) which were also great. I highly recommend this product.
July 01, 2010Reviewer: Matthew in Utah* While I experimented a lot at first, this product really comes down to two things for me: Biscuits and Waffles.
The Biscuits are a wonderful way to fill my bread cravings, especially with some cheese and garlic butter thrown in.
The Waffles are fantastic, though I skip all the butter, use a splash of oil and an extra egg.
I have gotten a few people I work with hooked on this stuff as well.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 27, 2010Reviewer: Amy in Georgia* We love this stuff. We like it for pancakes, muffins, and breading for frying. It was a little funny tasting in biscuits, but better the second day and it didn't keep us from eating them all in a couple of days.
June 24, 2010Reviewer: becky in Pennsylvania* Carbquick bake mix is absolutely amazing! I always make waffles with it but I do change the recipe they have on the box to make it even more healthier (1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup mix). This stuff is even great for people on low calorie/high fiber diets!
June 15, 2010Reviewer: Johnny in Florida* I've used this to make biscuits and waffles. No complaints. It is a little pricey but nice to be able to have low carb options for foods you enjoy. I find when making waffles that I don't get as many servings as listed so be prepared to add a little to the net carbs per serving. I'd give it a 5 if it were a little cheaper.
June 13, 2010Reviewer: Melinda in Mississippi* Little salty in some dishes but over all great!
June 11, 2010Reviewer: robert in California* I have been using this product now for several years, and it's great. Almost every morning I have strawberries with splenda and shortcake made with Carbquik and real whip cream for breakfast. As a type 2 diabetic this is a great low carb breakfast, suggest that you try it.
I mix 5 cups Carbquik and Hood non-fat milk and pour onto a large foil lined cookie sheet and bake @ 350 until brown, after it cools I put it into baggie to use daily (always stays moist)I microwave to heat before using as large 4lb bowl of strawberries is refrigerated.
June 09, 2010Reviewer: Sue in Pennsylvania* This is just like Bisquick. Use the same amount. Strawberry shortcake, biscuits, impossible pie, Love it. Lost over 85 lbs on low carb and this helped.
June 04, 2010Reviewer: Donna in California* YES! BREAD on the Atkins Diet. It's a dream come true! So far we have made biscuits, pizza, and Turkey Pot Pie. We can't wait to try some of the other recipes! My whole family has been on the Atkins Diet for 5 weeks now and we are still going strong thanks to products like this one that makes the diet so easy. I just bought two more packages of the Carbquick and look forward to creating some new recipes.
June 04, 2010Reviewer: Margaret in Texas* This mix makes great pancakes! You can use it for your whole family in place of your usual baking mix, because it doesn't taste like diet food.
June 03, 2010Reviewer: Jacqueline in Colorado* On my third box! I use this in place of Bisquick and cannot tell a difference in the recipes. I have to add a tidge more liquid as I live at extremely high altitudes; however, my Sister in FL doesn't add any more liquids. Adds much needed fiber and reduces carbs for my busy family. Highly recommend trying a box. Be creative!
May 12, 2010Reviewer: Mabel in Michigan* Fantastic product, could not believe how good the cheese biscuits were. Also makes great gravy.
May 06, 2010Reviewer: Cameron in Minnesota* Some of the recipes are better than others. Most recipes don't make as much as stated,
April 16, 2010Reviewer: Debra in Pennsylvania* Biscuits and pancakes on a low carb diet...are you kidding me?! It's true! And they are delicious! I like the recipe for Cheese Biscuits. I melt butter, add a little Old Bay Seasoning and brush it on top of the hot, fresh baked biscuits. They taste like the ones you get at Red Lobster restaurants!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 13, 2010Reviewer: Barbara in California* I made the Pound Cake recipe from the inside of the box and it is very good. I had to add a bit more liquid and bake at a lower temperature to get a moist product but it rose nicely and made a wonderful accompaniment to strawberries and whipped cream I used it for French Toast the next day also. Everyone liked it especially the non-dieters.
April 08, 2010Reviewer: Christina in New York* I don't know if I should be checking this stuff out in a lab somewhere to see if it's really only 2 gram of carbs or jumping up and down. This tastes too good to be true. I feel skeptical. I guess if all is true that make this 5 stars.
April 04, 2010Reviewer: Carolyn in Alabama* THIS IS A GREAT LOW CARB BAKING PRODUCT, I USE THIS IN PLACE OF BISQUICK AND GET THE SAME RESULTS.
March 31, 2010Reviewer: Wendy in Indiana* I have been buying this product for exactly one year, since my husband was diagnosed with diabetes. There is absolutely no difference between this product and the products I was accustomed to using (Bisquick and Jiffy). It makes delicious biscuits, coffee cakes and shortcake. I would highly recommend this product along with the Carbalose flour.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 30, 2010Reviewer: Lorie in Indiana* This is such a great product. I tweak it a bit to make it taste much better. I use cream and water instead of just plain water and add some oil when I make my biscuits. Have also used buttermilk with oil and that makes them taste great. I add some vanilla syrup and cream when making pancakes, takes it to a whole new level. Great for using in place of flour when making fried chicken, or breading other meats.
March 15, 2010Reviewer: Cyril Josh in New York* I'm on my first box of Carbquick and love it. I'm on a low-carb diet to lose weight and this was a lifesaver. The chocolate chip cookies are great. I have a small oven and I just make a big batch and bake what I need and keep the dough in the fridge. The pancakes were great and I can't wait to try the other recipes. I will be ordering more. Great product!
March 11, 2010Reviewer: Rhonda in Pennsylvania* I made the garlic cheese biscuits and then froze them. They are very tasty with butter on them. I also made the pancakes. I liked both things so far. I will be trying some more recipes.
March 06, 2010Reviewer: Waylon in Arizona* Best low carb biscuit/bake mix out there as far as I'm concerned. Just water and bake for biscuits and they ROCK. My high-carb friends and family love them as well. I dislike making pizzas with it. But I LOVE making biscuits, pot pies, or chicken and dumplings with it. Easy Easy yummy yummy
February 25, 2010Reviewer: Donna in Oregon* I love Carbquik and can easily adapt my recipes I have to use it. I have a Bible Study group each Tuesday and 4 of them are diabetic so I use it a lot to prepare a dessert for them. My ONE objection to it is the price has gone up so much. I am on a fixed income and so have to limit how much I can buy.
February 13, 2010Reviewer: Karen in California* I really liked this bake mix. Compared with the Atkins Bake Mix (I tried a few years ago), Carbquik has a much better flavor and is more versatile. I read TONS of online reviews first and went to the Low Carb Discussion by following Netrition's link...very helpful with many Carbquik recipes! Knowing in advance what to "tweak" when first using this mix was a great thing.
My husband couldn't believe the drop biscuits I made as my first experiment!! I am now re-ordering Carbquik, and am about to try the wonderful sounding Carbolose Flour.
February 07, 2010Reviewer: Michelle in Illinois* Carbquick is AWESOME! I have made biscuits, cheesecake, brownies and pizza just to name a few! Everything was INCREDIBLE! I've also turned several friends onto this product and they LOVE it!
February 07, 2010Reviewer: Lillian in New Jersey* Excellent Product. It takes a few tries to learn the consistency difference between this product and others. After a try or two you can bake anything. Our favorite using this product is pancakes. This product is very filling and works well with any diet plan and provides almost a daily recommended amount of fiber in one serving.
February 07, 2010Reviewer: Carol in Texas* This product is a great replacement for the old 'Bisquick' before the low carb era.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 05, 2010Reviewer: Nancy B in Utah* I have used this product for several years but mainly for biscuits. I haven't had much luck with the "Simple Drop Biscuits" rising but the "Cheddar Cheese Biscuits" recipe always rises well. The dumplings were a disaster. I have substituted Carbquik directly for Bisquick in several recipes with good results.
February 04, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Maine* I would give this product a 10 if the scale went up that high. I have adapted many recipes using this over the past couple of years, including muffins, cake and pizza crust and all come out very well. I am on a low carb/low calorie diet so cook only for one meal and find if I do not keep leftovers that the product is moist leaving out the fat. I have done this on muffins and brownies and find them to be moist and delicious but if I am cooking to have leftovers, I do add some oil or butter. This makes an awesome pizza crust. Try it.. you won't be disappointed. A Happy customer in Maine
February 04, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* Doesn't taste like low carb, no soy after taste like with Atkins Bake Mix. Works well especially with recipes on website.
0 of 3 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 03, 2010Reviewer: Terry in Minnesota* Don't do like me and order 7 of a product based on others reviews. This product is nothing like Bisquick. Has an awful odor and taste. I made the cheese garlic muffins but the batter is awful. Just opening the box nauseates me. Rather go without. Will try Adkins and other muffin mixes.
February 01, 2010Reviewer: A customer in North Carolina* This product is awesome!!!! I've cooked biscuits, pizza, pot-pie, sausage-n-gravy. It was great. I highly recommend the sausage-n-gravy recipe.
January 27, 2010Reviewer: D K in Texas* Love it, though still learning how to best use it. Made pancakes, waffles, and the cheese biscuit recipe that comes w/the box... all are great!
January 23, 2010Reviewer: Linda in Maryland* Really bakes very much like Bisquick. Dough rises quite a bit. It is not exactly the same taste, but close. Very good and useful product.
January 22, 2010Reviewer: A customer in South Carolina* This is the best stuff! My husband looks forward to Sunday mornings when we make waffles. They are crispy, fluffy, yummy and don't taste low carb at all.
January 15, 2010Reviewer: carlton in Mississippi* I have been experimenting with bread machine low carb recipes for years. I finally hit on one that I think is pretty good using Carbquick flour and the carb content is about 1.5 g PER SLICE. Can also be toasted for tasty toast.
January 12, 2010Reviewer: Heidi in Illinois* I hesitated on giving this a 4 or a 5 rating as of course it isn't QUITE as good as regular flour in the taste department, but it is for sure the best flavor and I get the best results of any low-carb baking mix. I really love it and cannot stand to be without it!

January 09, 2010Reviewer: A customer in Florida* Thank goodness for Carbquik! It has saved our low-carb lifestyle numerous times! We especially enjoy making crepes, peanut butter cookies, and breading. We've never noticed an after taste and it has never taken us out of ketosis (we're on long-term Induction)!
January 02, 2010Reviewer: Jamie in Texas* Great economical alternative for pancakes, biscuits, and cookies. Bakes easily. I use it in place of flour for peanut butter cookies.
December 22, 2009Reviewer: Charlotte in Texas* Pancakes made from Carbquick are better than any restaurant pancakes that I've ever eaten. I sometimes put in cinnamon or other spices and on one occasion I forgot to put in the oil; it made no difference, they were still delicious so now I just leave it out.
December 22, 2009Reviewer: Travis in Missouri* I have ordered on four different occasions now and couldn't be happier with this product. I found this item after being on a low carb diet for 9 months. It has made my low carb lifestyle so much easier. I couldn't recommend it higher! THANK YOU!
December 12, 2009Reviewer: Valerie in Tennessee* This is a great product.Anything you can make with bisquick you can make with carbquick. I am so glad I found this product and also the flour by the same company.
December 11, 2009Reviewer: Mary in New York* I have been very pleased with the Carbquik Bake Mix. It is an ideal product for use by those individuals having glycemix issues such as Diabetes or insulin resistance. Used as it is with the recommended instructions, or added to other baking mixes or products, it helps to minimize the usual rapid conversion of starch into glucose in the blood stream. I run a B&B, and am able to expand my breakfast offerings to Diabetics, without sacrificing taste and texture. It's a great product!
December 08, 2009Reviewer: Sandra in Pennsylvania* I love it. Nothing that I have made with it has turned out tasting bad from pancake's to Blinni's. I am finding out every day just how I can use this product and it seems to be unending. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
December 08, 2009Reviewer: Kaci in South Carolina* I had been missing pancakes and waffles since I went low carb. Even biscuits are now easy to make and even better to eat. With sugar free syrup and fruit this mix makes a great weekend breakfast. I have even breaded chicken for frying with it and it worked great. Can't live without this product in the pantry.
November 27, 2009Reviewer: Brian in Connecticut* This product is like Bisquick. It makes great pancakes and waffles. We tried the peanut buttrer cookies and found them a bit dry, but messing with the recipe produced better results. This product gave my father and father-in-law back their breakfast choices without raising their blood sugar. It doesn't get any better than this!
November 23, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Florida* I just love CarbQuik! No sugar alcohols, and made from wheat. On the back of the box they have a recipe for cheddar cheese biscuits. I have made them a couple of times and wondered what the nutritional info was. So, I made some last night and this is how it broke down per serving.
BTW, I tweaked the recipe this time- omitting the pinch of salt and garlic powder, and instead added a pinch of fresh garlic. They were awesome (really like the biscuits you get at Red Lobster). The carb count is net carbs- that's right 1.7 net carbs per biscuit. Enjoy bread again!

November 22, 2009Reviewer: Linda in Florida* It's been hard to find the right baking mix substitute, but this has worked the best for biscuits and pizza. It is easy to use and is very similar to regular baking mix. Thanks!
November 20, 2009Reviewer: A customer in New Jersey* Quality baking mix with low carbs, good recipes. Makes very good cinnamon buns for the occasional lazy weekend morning at home.
November 19, 2009Reviewer: Lori in Pennsylvania* Carbquik baking mix is a Godsend for anyone on a low carb diet for whatever reason. In my opinion is tastes just like bisquick. Ive made several of the recipes on the Carbquik website and love them. It also makes a great breading for chicken nuggets. Simply put this product is wonderful.
November 11, 2009Reviewer: JULIE in Nevada* This is the best baking mix, so versatile, I have made pizza crust, pancakes, bisquits...etc, whatever you can do with bisquick you can do with this...and with all the flavor. This is a must have if you are eating low carb!
November 09, 2009Reviewer: Sharon in Arizona* I make everything from biscuits and scones to waffles and pie crust with this. You can substitute it in any bisquick recipe. You have to add a little more liquid when using bisquick recipes.
November 09, 2009Reviewer: Jacqueline in California* This is really tasty...My daughter loved this as she had to watch her carb intake and this helped as she was able to have the taste of bread. This is a great product!!!
November 06, 2009Reviewer: Craig in Nevada* This stuff is awesome. After months on the Atkins diet having no bread-like substance, it was so great to find a product like this. The cheddar cheese biscuits are AWESOME at only 2g of carbs each. I will buy these again and again and again....The pancakes are pretty good too.
October 26, 2009Reviewer: Andrew in Virginia* This stuff is incredible!!! So far it has been a great replacement for any pancake mix... straight pancakes and waffles taste great. Makes great biscuits as well, although those are best served with spray butter or a gravy. Baking desserts has taken a little practice as far as timing goes, but all in all an incredible product for the nutritional value!!! Always exploring new ways to use it!!! (we're on our 4th box - so absolutely a product to look at)
October 18, 2009Reviewer: Loretta in North Carolina* Wow, is this stuff for real? My daughters' wanted pancakes for dinner and I figured I would sub this so I could also enjoy one. I ordered the mix a few weeks ago and forgot about it. I added the mix, heavy whipping cream and water as stated on the box but, of course, went to the fridge and I was out of eggs. I decided to drop them in a pan and make drop biscuits. To my surprise, they were wonderful. I still can't believe this is low carb.
October 13, 2009Reviewer: kathleen in North Carolina* This stuff is wonderful! And there are lots of easy recipies posted. I tried using it in my bread machine. The texture and taste is awesome. Now I can make a wonder low carb sandwich. For a long time I have used low carb wrap (this works good), but it never really satisfied my craving for a sandwich.
October 09, 2009Reviewer: beverly in North Carolina* Love it. I cook with it all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 09, 2009Reviewer: sandra in New Hampshire* This is an excellent product if you are really serious about getting variety in your low carb regime. I would rate this product a five but I find that the directions are a little off, you need to play with this, add and tweak here and there but if you are used to baking from scratch and can figure out by adding ingredients slowly to get the consistency of regular baking mixes you will have a great time with this. I have also found recipes using this product at carbquik sites.
September 28, 2009Reviewer: Barbara in Georgia* My husband and I really love being able to enjoy biscuits and muffins without having to worry about too many carbs. They are very tasty too.
September 24, 2009Reviewer: Susie in Illinois* It is by far the best tasting and smelling mix I have tried. It makes great pancakes and pizza crust. I would definitely recommend trying this first.
September 21, 2009Reviewer: Michael in Iowa* This is the best! I use it for about everything including breading for fried veggies.
September 18, 2009Reviewer: Mary Jo in Alabama* This product has enabled us to convert to a low-carb lifestyle rather than going on a diet. We make low carb pancakes that I prefer to the regular pancakes and I also use this mix as a coating for fish before dipping in egg and then a pecan meal to bake...gets rave reviews. It is the best I have found on the market.
September 13, 2009Reviewer: Lilly in South Carolina* I LOVE this product!!! I make pancakes, waffles, and muffins using a regular recipe and they are great. It allows me to have a variety for breakfast instead of eggs for a low-carb lifestyle. I make a batch of waffles and freeze them for during the week. It also makes great biscuits - a great alternative! This is a wonderful product!

Use this instead: 1c + tblsp. carbquick, 1 tblsp. splenda, 2 tblsp. veg oil, 1/2 c milk (or soy, etc.), 1 egg, splash vanilla. I add lots of blueberries and sf syrup. Excellent.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 08, 2009Reviewer: Carol in California* This is one of the BEST low carb products I have ever tried. The pancakes are BETTER than regular ones and I have successfully used the mix in Bisquick recipes. I did find the pancakes require more liquid (Half and Half) than the recipe on the box. Light and yummy!!!!
September 08, 2009Reviewer: Marla in Armed Forces AE* What a blessing for people with diabetes! This has expanded our family menu exponentially. It works just like popular commercial baking mixes. Great flavor, very versatile. Exceptional product!
September 03, 2009Reviewer: Nancy in North Carolina* For anyone trying to cut carbs this is a very good product. I have tried several of the recipes I found by searching carbquik recipes and they have all been good. I have found that if I add a little more sweetener that it makes the dessert recipes better. And I do sub the sugar in the recipes for either splenda or nature sweet. I recommend this product from experience using it. I have tried the pancakes, cinnamon buns, pizza dough, and many others.
September 03, 2009Reviewer: elaine in Georgia* I have really enjoyed this! I have made the pancakes, having 2 pancakes with my bacon and eggs is wonderful. I also make the cheddar biscuits, I add fresh garlic and finally diced onion to the mix as well as the cheddar cheese. Just awesome with bar-b-que.
September 01, 2009Reviewer: Chris in Kentucky* This was my first try with this product. It is wonderful! I have made two batches of blueberry muffins, pumpkin bread, and biscuits!!!!! And the net carb per muffin was 1-2 per. I cannot say enough good things about the Carbquik Bake Mix !!!!!!!! I just re-ordered this am. :)
August 31, 2009Reviewer: Carolee in Kentucky* We love this product, it's a treat to have pancakes made with this mix. Muffins with the sugar free da vinci syrup are a must also :) Highly recommended, with its wide variety of uses.
August 30, 2009Reviewer: Christy in Missouri* Great product. I used it to make Betty Crockers snicker noodle cookies with powder erythritol sugar sub and everyone loved them. I use Carbquik for all of my baking now. I use a lot of Jiffy mix recipes with Carbquik and they turn out great. I use it with chocolate cookie and cake recipes and they turned out really good. Love it!
August 28, 2009Reviewer: Debra in Mississippi* Our favorite recipe using Carbquik is waffles. I found it necessary to adapt the recipe on the box a little bit. The recipe needed more liquid, so I increase the 1/4 c. heavy cream to 1/2 c. I also added 1/2 t. baking powder and a pinch of salt. I use 1/4 c. Splenda granules. To make the waffles a little more "hearty" (and to add more fiber) I grind up 2 T. of flax seed and add it to the batter. This makes two whole waffles. We have blueberry bushes, so our favorite accompaniment is blueberry syrup. For two waffles, I mix 2 c. blueberries with 1/3 c. sugar free (0 carb) syrup (we like Log Cabin) and simmer while I'm preparing the waffles. I also use Carbquik as a breading for fried foods, it fries up very crisp.
August 12, 2009Reviewer: SYLVIE in California* Carbquik is a fantastic, marvelous product. It tastes like regular baking products. Thank you so much for providing the low carb dieters with such a fabulous product. I do not feel that I am on a strict low carb diet. For the first time in my life I do not feel deprived of the carbs that were so important to me. I have tried the recipes for the pancakes, the cheese biscuits. (in moderation of course), and this is helping me stay on a very low carb diet. I can not wait to try all the other recipes that you give us. It is an absolutely wonderful product.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 12, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Utah* I greatly appreciate that there is a low-carb baking mix that I can use to make very many things. The only thing that I would change would be to decrease the amount of salt in it -- I needed to add some extra sweetener when making pancakes to offset some of the saltiness.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 10, 2009Reviewer: Riley in Michigan* This stuff is absolutely amazing. So far, my husband and I have used it to make delicious pancakes (we love our BRINNER nights!:) and thin-crust pizza crust. We always comment on the nutty, delicious, faint "almondy" smell that tickles our noses every time we open the packaging. To make the pancakes, we basically use a tweaked version of the waffle recipe that comes on the box - adding 1/2 cup of cream instead of 1/4, 2 eggs vs. 1 - and they come out great. We follow the pizza crust recipe as is. We always make sure to weigh the carbquik vs. using a measuring cup. I absolutely LOVE carbquik and thank Netrition for carrying this and other fine products.
August 09, 2009Reviewer: Don L in Iowa* Once you learn how to use this product,it is really good. I add a little more milk product to get the consistency I want. The pancakes are very good. As are the cinnamon rolls.
July 30, 2009Reviewer: Mary in Georgia* Wow. That's all I can say. I've made cheddar biscuits, and it's a wonderful breading for fried onion rings and fried green tomatoes. Bravo. This product does not make the things you bake taste funny, nor do they have a funny texture. I love it, and can't wait to bake cakes and cookies!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 20, 2009Reviewer: Ron in Wisconsin* Carbquik is so nice to have available, it allows you to have bread like foods without completely blowing your low carb diet. I highly recommend the blueberry muffin recipe they have on the Tova website, but even more than that, I highly recommend tweaking it by omitting the blueberries, and adding a half teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a half teaspoon of orange extract...oh so good :)
Seriously seriously.
Raspberry and banana extract is good too, and so is using about a tablespoon of cinnamon.
July 20, 2009Reviewer: Jennifer in Missouri* I love it for biscuits and pancakes! This a versatile product and a great sub for high carb flour.
July 16, 2009Reviewer: Leigh Ann in New Jersey* I love this product!! It's so versatile and tastes great! I made biscuits and waffles and both tasted like the regular bisquick mix. I've read the other recipes from Tova Industries and can't wait to try them.
July 07, 2009Reviewer: Sandra in Wisconsin* Made pancakes with Carbquik Bake Mix. Turned out great. Have not eaten pancakes in years. Now I need some low carb syrup!!!!
July 01, 2009Reviewer: Simone in Texas* I was a bit skeptical of this flour..being a newbie to low carbing..I read some good things and bad things. My first trial run was pancakes...it was a learning experience...but I love them now.
June 26, 2009Reviewer: Benjamin in Ohio* I have made several recipes using Carbquick instead of Bisquick or regular flour, and so far all have turned out really well. Biscuits, blintzes, shortcakes... all have been tasty, even more tender than usual, and have provided lots of wholesome dietary fiber.
June 24, 2009Reviewer: GRACE in Pennsylvania* THE THINGS I MISS MOST ON A LOW CARB DIET IS BREAD
June 23, 2009Reviewer: Scott in Idaho* This product is a great addition to my low carb tools. It makes an awesome cheddar roll/bun and with a little seasoning added, a terrific coating for oven fried chicken. I highly recommend this product for anyone on a low carb nutrition system.
June 22, 2009Reviewer: Michelle in Illinois* Carbquick is great! I've used it in their brownie recipe which is on the box and they are delicious! I've also made biscuits and they are equally as tasty! There is no difference than the normal biscuits you would make at home!I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 19, 2009Reviewer: Jerry in Minnesota* I make pancakes with this mix just as I have done with Bisquick brand baking mix and both my wife and I thoroughly enjoy them along with sugar free syrup. First I eliminate the called for butter. To the mix I add heavy whipping cream at a ratio of three to one with added water. You can change this according to how you like and also the total amount according to what consistency you like your batter. I also add (to taste) a few shakes of nutmeg and according to amount of pancakes desired-a tsp to a TBSP of almond extract. The consistency of our pancakes is more like the high-carb type and not as greasy as with the butter. We still enjoy butter on top though.
June 17, 2009Reviewer: Rosilyn in New York* I haven't tried a lot of recipes with CarbQuik yet, but the biscuits were fine. Like Bisquik biscuits, they were more the powdery kind than the elastic ones that come in cans. I also made shortcake using the recipe on the Bisquik box, substituting Carbquik and using Splenda instead of sugar. That worked very well, and with fresh raspberries and real whipped cream sweetened with Splenda, made a terrific treat. I will write another review when I have experimented some more.
June 14, 2009Reviewer: Rebecca in Western Australia* I have used this product only to make the biscuit recipe, though I don't make the biscuits, I just spread it in an appropriate size pan and bake it, then cut and freeze. The one thing I truly missed about having a low carb diet was the bread and this helps to relieve that crazing.
June 11, 2009Reviewer: Robyn in New York* This baking mix is the best! You would never know it was low carb. Easily used in place of original baking mix without all the carbs! I have used this as breading, fried with it, and used it to make yummy cheddar biscuits! Taste is wonderful, I'm never without it in my cupboard! Thanks so much for a great product!
June 06, 2009Reviewer: Valerie in Arizona* Fantastic!!! I used it like flour to make sausage gravy to go with the biscuits! Thank you so much!!!
June 06, 2009Reviewer: Stacy in Georgia* Love, Love, Love this product. I am a baked-goods-aholic and was wondering how I was going to go without bread products and my Jamaican fried dumplings and fritters. This has been a wonderful replacement to flour. Was at first hesitant after reading some of the not-so-favorable reviews and concerned about a possible aftertaste, but there was none. It was just delicious!!
June 05, 2009Reviewer: Heike in Virginia* GREAT product! Perfect for my pancake loving family, minus the carbs. We definitely feel like we are splurging when we indulge in the pancakes this mix makes. Tried other low carb mixes and they are like sawdust. These are really good - does take a bit of practice to become good at cooking them as the batter gets really thick and gooey almost instantly. I am a pro now though and my family looks forward to pancakes a few times a week!
May 26, 2009Reviewer: Amber in Western Australia* My son and husband love it this stuff. I make little sandwiches for both of them everyday using the cheese biscuit recipe on the box. They also love Carbquik pancakes and waffles and didn't mind the switch from the high carb baking mix (which is saying a lot because they are both very picky eaters.)
May 26, 2009Reviewer: karen e in Florida* Makes great pound cake.
May 23, 2009Reviewer: Diane in California* It makes pancakes as good as my mom made with bisquick mix when I was a kid! I wasn't crazy about using it as a batter for fried fish. I can't wait to try it for waffles too. I truly checked to make sure it was a low carb product, it was so much like real pancakes!
May 21, 2009Reviewer: Mary Beth in Armed Forces AE* I just started using this product. My husband is a diabetic and is well controlled. This product did not raise his blood sugar. It tastes great. The recipes are great too. We have waited a long time for a grain that is high fiber and low in carbs. This an awesome product. I used to weigh 260 lbs. and now weigh 140. It feels wrong to eat but does not make me regain weight! YAY
May 16, 2009Reviewer: Yvette in California* This is the best bake mix ever! I use it to coat chicken and pork chops, and my family loves the taste. The cheese drop biscuits and pancakes are great, too. Thank you.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 04, 2009Reviewer: Burton in Arkansas* Have been using this product for several weeks and have found that baked items using it have no effect on my blood glucose levels. By adding extra baking powder and splenda, I can bake biscuits that taste about like the ones I used to make with regular flour. I find this to be an excellent substitute for Bisquik or any other baking mix I have used in the past.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 29, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Florida* Ever since my husband and I started low carbing (2 months ago), we have used this product for everything we formerly used flour or bisquick for in baking and also for use as breading food for deep frying. It is truly a Godsend that allows us to enjoy our old high carb favorites without the carbs (including cookies, brownies, and breaded fried calamari)!
If you love melt in your mouth butter cookies, please try the chocolate chip cookie recipe (we omit the choc chips to reduce carb count and they are DELICIOUS as butter cookies) but please be sure to use UNSALTED butter, as the carbquik itself can be a bit salty, and regular salted butter ruins the recipe). The brownie recipe is also very good.
It is a must have in every low carbers kitchen! It will prevent boredom and give you the variety you need to stick with the plan... we sure can't live without it! (40 pound weight loss between the two of us so far!)
April 27, 2009Reviewer: A customer in New Mexico* This is the best stuff ever! It has a lot of fiber and not only helps fulfill my daily requirement for fiber, but the taste is exactly like flour. It is healthy with no sugar alcohols and I would recommend this product to anyone.
April 26, 2009Reviewer: Tara in Illinois* Astonished at how much it tastes like regular bread. I made the drop biscuits and everyone loved them. As soon as you open the box, the aroma draws you in. You could replace someones Bisquick and they would have no idea. I LOVE IT!!! This is a dream come true for low carb bread lovers like myself.
April 25, 2009Reviewer: Heejin in Virginia* Carbquik is the most amazing product ever, no exaggeration, and after much testing! I have type 1 diabetes, and this product affects my sugars exactly as the nutrition label says it should. It has performed excellently in all the recipes I've tried (along with carbalose, the flour substitute also made by Tova) - including biscuits, pancakes, cookies, pizza and cheesecake. I want to buy a whole pantry's worth because it would be disastrous if I woke up one morning and discovered I'd run out!!!
April 22, 2009Reviewer: Nancy in Massachusetts* Carbquick works perfectly. I can eat biscuits again! The pancakes are delicious.
April 22, 2009Reviewer: Brensha in North Carolina* Very good product. Biscuits and pancakes were delicious. The first time you eat it, it will have a slight after taste and taste kind of grainy and I did not over mix. But after that, your taste buds will adapt and you will love it. Biscuits are my favorite. I made the pizza crust and didn't like it. It was like having a pancake crust for pizza. I still give it 5 stars though. Excellent product and will definitely buy again.
April 16, 2009Reviewer: james in Virginia* Have been a diabetic for five years. By watching my diet my blood sugar has been under control with the aid of Carbquik Bake Mix. My A1C is 5.9 and I take no medication for blood sugar. I can still enjoy baked goods with the aid of this product.
April 15, 2009Reviewer: Lynette in Florida* Our favorite way of using this mix is to bread pork chops and for fried chicken. The pizza crust was not that great but the chicken pot pie was OK. It is best for breading for frying for us because it has a strong baking powder or soda taste.
March 31, 2009Reviewer: ALECIA in Texas* Ok I cannot say enough about this product. It is so good, and low in carbs too. I finally can have those Sunday morning pancakes without all the guilt! I have made dumplings, cakes, gravies and biscuits. The dough is so soft and the taste is the best! I buy several boxes and freeze it. I take out what I need and store the rest in an air tight container in the fridge once opened. If you are a low carber and really miss those biscuits and pancakes this product is your dream come true!
March 31, 2009Reviewer: Meredith in Illinois* I love this product! I just ordered two more boxes! A must have if you are on a low carb diet.
March 30, 2009Reviewer: James in Arizona* Carbquik is a scientific miracle! I've lost 30 pounds in 3 months, and I eat biscuits, gravy, pancakes, brownies, chocolate cake and other recipes using this product. Imagine having bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy for breakfast and only 10 carbs! It's good stuff!
March 28, 2009Reviewer: Janie in Minnesota* I was getting this Carbquik from a different website and happened to check out Netrition. I couldn't believe the difference in price. Now I buy everything right here on Netrition.Com. Thank you!! Oh, by the way, I love this product. This was everyone's favorite breading mix at the cabin last summer. (Even those who were not on a low carb diet). I was stingy with it, but now that I found a low price everyone can enjoy it!!
March 27, 2009Reviewer: Ana in California* Excellent product for LOW CARB diets !!!!! You can use it exactly as Bisquick by Betty Crocker in all the recipes. Wonderful !!!
March 27, 2009Reviewer: Justin in Wisconsin* This stuff is very versatile, though I mainly use it for pizza crust. Couldn't be easier to make. Mix in a little water, knead it a bit, then stretch it out on a pan and bake it for a few minutes. Take it out, put on your toppings, bake a few more minutes and viola, great pizza!
March 27, 2009Reviewer: pam in Minnesota* I love the Carbquick! I wish they had not done away with the 5lb bag. I make biscuits in an iron skillet with a bit of butter every weekend and they are fabulous, the skillet makes a wonderful crust. I add them to some low carb muffin zucchini egg things I make and take with me to work every day. I love the carbquick, it is the best low carb product there is! Thank you!
March 25, 2009Reviewer: Jennifer in South Carolina* I was skeptical about purchasing this product because of the reviews regarding the aftertaste. However, I didn't even notice an aftertaste and I used this product for everything including pizza, casseroles, biscuits and even pepperoni rolls. This product is wonderful!
March 16, 2009Reviewer: Rex in Indiana* This is a wonderful thing I have found. They are so good, and is a godsend for diabetics, which I am . Thanks so much for making these products! Keep up the good work. God Bless
2 of 3 people found the following review helpfulMarch 06, 2009Reviewer: Alan in New Jersey* I have experienced mixed results with Carbquik. I originally bought it as an ingredient for low carb pizza crust. Although it was better than other products I tried, it was a bit "mealy" as a pizza crust. Acceptable, but not great. Then I discovered a corn bread recipe using Carbquik. I love corn bread and I have to say that the end result of this recipe is fantastic.
March 04, 2009Reviewer: Carole in Virginia* I made the cheese biscuits that were on the package. They were fabulous! They tasted just like Red lobster's. I have also used it as a breading for fish. Excellent!
March 02, 2009Reviewer: deirdre in North Carolina* This is my first time using this product and it is great! It has minimal aftertaste and is great for my pancake and grilled cheese sandwiches. I just ordered three more boxes so I won't run out. My family doesn't even know what I am using when I bread the chicken and fish. I tell them after wards, and they say it tastes really good. It is also nice that I can sit down with my family and have a meal and not feel like I am deprived of good food. I would recommend this product to anyone.
February 27, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Michigan* Had problems with the pancakes, but makes great waffles!
February 25, 2009Reviewer: Robert in California* A great product...I can't believe that it is as good as Bisquick without the carbs...made pizza and cheesecake and didn't raise my wife's blood sugar levels....Thanks for a great product I intend to keep experimenting with!! Bob
February 21, 2009Reviewer: Lee in North Carolina* This is the BEST stuff ever! I make pizzas, desserts & those yummy cheese & garlic biscuits! My family can't even tell that it's low carb!
February 18, 2009Reviewer: Dwight in Michigan* My husband controls his type 2 diabetes with diet and loves the pancakes and biscuits we make with carbquik. We have altered the recipe for the pancakes to just eggs, water, and mix with no butter and they taste even better! Thanks for providing this product and for the great customer service we always get. Dottie
February 07, 2009Reviewer: Susan in Minnesota* I rate this highly simply because it exists! As a diabetic, low carb dieter, it has enriched my food in so many ways. It is a staple of my kitchen, and I am constantly experimenting with it. Getting the texture right on baked goods can be tricky, but use their web site recipes and have fun with it.
February 04, 2009Reviewer: Suzan in Connecticut* There are two different sets of nutritional info on the side of the box. One says 18 carbs 16 fiber...the other 16 and 14 respectively. As long as it's net 2.... Has a slight aftertaste....a bit of lemon extract or oil solves that nicely. Be sure to buy polydextrose as well, to make chewy moist bars. Carbquik by itself is more cake/bread-like.
February 04, 2009Reviewer: cheryl in Colorado* This product makes excellent waffles. I am playing around trying to make apple pancakes. The waffles are great when you even add more vanilla and use them with sugar free strawberry jelly with a little cool whip for dessert. I am going to try and make some other flavors of waffles to use as a sweet snack. I have to say though it takes an exact science to make some things. I do like the product.
January 28, 2009Reviewer: Tom in Arkansas* I love waffles and pancakes and this product is godsend. My wife and I absolutely love it. We have used it strictly for waffles and by minor adjustments to the recipe have found the formula for nice, crispy and well browned waffles. I would recommend it to anyone needs to reduce their carb intake and with Carbquik and sugar free syrup, low carbs are possible.
January 22, 2009Reviewer: laura in Illinois* My Husband & I have been on lower carb/higher fiber/less sodium & sugar free lifestyles over 8 yrs. Ever since my near death experience with Lupus Nephrites. I needed aggressive meds & chemo. Sadly, I got all the side effects. I went from 135-199! From a size 11 to a 16-18. Bad for the self esteem. Thankfully, Ed is a Saint who put up with all of this as I began this LC journey. When he saw how great I was progressing, he followed & lost 2 pant sizes. Me? I lost 60 lbs. in a size Jr.9 & we can maintain by altering recipes by using Carbquik, whole wheat, splenda, etc. YEA! Just like Bisquik only better! We've made pound cakes, coffee cakes & are happy with the results!
January 20, 2009Reviewer: Denise in California* I'm very happy and truly surprised at how delicious and easy the recipes are. It is every bit as good as bisquick. For a low carb diet to now have biscuits!!!! yum!!! The recipes are very good. Get this if you're a low carber who like to bake.
January 19, 2009Reviewer: Richard in New Jersey* Figured I would get another strange tasting mix, but was greatly surprised at the good taste of this mix. I tried the muffins, pancakes & biscuits. All light & flavorful. I don't eat a lot, but it is nice to know that I can have some more choices for breakfast. Just as good as Bisquik.
January 18, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Texas* I just ordered my second box of Carbquik. It's a lifesaver!! It makes doing low carb a bit more portable because you can make sandwich rolls with it. And pizza!! Yumo! Too bad they can't give you enough in the package to try all the recipes on the box!
January 18, 2009Reviewer: Dorthea in New Jersey* This product has a great taste!! The recipes included are a good place to start experimenting. I made the pound cake and it had good texture and a nice flavor. Pretty close to the real thing for a low carb product. I also made the cheddar biscuits, they are very similar to the Lobster restaurant biscuits. Good pancakes and waffles too. If you find yourself missing these goodies, give this a try!!!
January 17, 2009Reviewer: Ruth in Texas* I am a Bisquick person...even have the cookbook. I love making quiches and pies with the Carbquick Bake Mix. I now can make my old tried and true, low-carb/low-sugar. At all the "bring a dish to pass" meals, I bring a low-carb desert. Even people who aren't watching their sugar and carb intact love my apple crisp that's made with Carbquik and no-sugar added pie filling.
January 15, 2009Reviewer: BONNIE in Louisiana* Wow! REAL BISCUITS! I made the cheddar biscuits recipe on the box. They were actually better than some 'regular' biscuits I've had. I try not to go the all-fat route, so instead of heavy cream I used LC soymilk from 8th continent. They were *really* light and fluffy, with a very good flavor. I barely mixed the ingredients; they were barely together and I spooned about an oz out and baked them on some non-stick foil. They looked like they might not even stay together, but I knew they would. Don't work the dough too much; this makes gluten form and toughens the texture! Hubby, who does not do LC, ate three of them and wanted to go back for the rest. I'd love to be able to get a larger box as I bake a lot and would love to have LC real desserts available for friends and family who also do LC. I have liquid Splenda as well, which I already use in modified recipes, so I'm sure between this, some Erithritol, liquid Splenda, unsweetened cocoa and the soymilk, I can make an awesome LC chocolate cake.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 14, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Virginia* I love this product. I make a flax seed cracker with it that is wonderful. Everything I make comes out just like it does with the regular bisquick mix. I have an old cookbook for Bisquick and I use it with Carbquik and there is no difference.
January 09, 2009Reviewer: Kimberly in Maryland* I love it! I have read reviews elsewhere that their recipes turned out salty. I'm guessing it's b/c there is salt and baking soda already in the mix, maybe try leaving the extras out. Anyway I have made pancakes twice and they were delicious with SF syrup.
I love low carbing but was disappointed in thinking I might never have bread or baked goods again, but with this I can without the guilt or added carbs. Can't wait to try other recipes.
January 08, 2009Reviewer: Margaret in Connecticut* I love this product! I am amazed at the taste. I'd rather just go without instead of putting up with the taste of some low carb products, but with this product, I don't have to. Thanks
January 08, 2009Reviewer: Jason in District of Columbia* Not as good as the other "quik" but pretty tasty! We go through a box quickly in our home.
January 03, 2009Reviewer: Deb in Illinois* Compared to other low carb substitutes, this is the best product I have tried. It is a bit too pricey.
January 02, 2009Reviewer: John in Colorado* Fantastic - great pancakes etc. You won't be disappointed!
December 28, 2008Reviewer: Ellene in North Carolina* Great product. I use this for every imaginable baking and flour need. Good for the old Bisquick "impossible" recipes.
December 24, 2008Reviewer: Judith in Florida* VERY EASY TO USE, I TRIED THE BISCUITS & PANCAKES. BOTH ARE JUST GREAT. I WILL TRY THE BROWNIES NEXT. I HAD TO ORDER MORE.
December 20, 2008Reviewer: Hilda in Colorado* Carbquick is excellent! Probably the best low-carb product I have found. I think it is much better than low carb mixes for baking because you can create your own recipes. You can substitute it in any recipe that asks for flour. Great pancakes too!
December 12, 2008Reviewer: Michael in Massachusetts* This is awesome. I can finally have pancakes. No aftertaste that I have found. My girlfriend does not low carb but even she really likes it.
December 05, 2008Reviewer: marilyn in Indiana* This is wonderful, makes a great fried bread for breakfast. saute some pecans in butter and sprinkle with cinn... spread your carbquick mix over it, cook for a few min, flip it and top with cream cheese nuked with a little sugar free honey....yummmmm
November 25, 2008Reviewer: Carol in Connecticut* Having been a loyal Atkins customer for many years, when the product line was reduced and I could no longer find my favorite Quik Quisine bake mix, I was stumped. I was finally driven to online search and thought I'd give Carbquik a try. Unbelievable results and quality. I've been able to make all of our favorite baked items -- and they always taster better, richer and more flavorful than ever. The mix is easy to work with and can be used in identical quantities in every recipe. This product is a delightful staple in our home. I could not recommend this more highly to those hoping to reduce carb intake and enjoy their low-carb eating lifestyle.
November 23, 2008Reviewer: Lorraine in Massachusetts* This mix has made my life so much happier. I know that sounds crazy, but living LC is not always easy. Now I can make almost anything I used to use Flour and bisquick for. I love the bisquits, pizza crust, potpie. I also use this to make stuffing. This is good stuff with so many recipes on the box and on LC websites.
November 14, 2008Reviewer: James in Louisiana* This stuff is great for waffles and pancakes. Not exactly like Bisquik, but pretty good for a Low Carb product. Used to come in 5 lb, now 3 lbs at almost the same cost, but that's reality in today's world. Still worth the price.
October 26, 2008Reviewer: Amber in Oregon* This is a great mix, just like using Bisquick mix, just lower in carbs.
October 25, 2008Reviewer: Dana in Virginia* Ok this stuff has an odd taste - however I make the "microwave cookie" listed on the site as a treat and it makes my day and curbs cravings. I use it as a coating as well on meats when I make my own shake and bake.
October 03, 2008Reviewer: Susan in Colorado* Carbquik Bake Mix is absolutely fabulous. It makes terrific biscuits, brownies, coffee cake and dumplings--plus much more. With a busy family and one that watches their carbohydrate intake---this product more than meets our high standards for quality and taste. I keep a supply on hand for use---I hope they never discontinue this product.
October 02, 2008Reviewer: Kathleen in Michigan* This product is GREAT!!!!! The cheese biscuits are awesome. I made the pound cake and it was out of sight. This product is really making it easy to stick with the low carb lifestyle. I can enjoy breads, deserts, pancakes, waffles and no matter what I make, they're all delicious. This product is a real Godsend.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix

September 25, 2008Reviewer: A customer in California* We love this stuff: I use it a couple of times a week: pumpkin/flax seed/wheat bran muffins, biscuits, cobblers, crisps, pancakes, doughnut holes ... you name it. It's saved my low carb lifestyle from boredom and bread-angst.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 24, 2008Reviewer: Darryl in Utah* This is a must have for low-carb dieters. I use it to make biscuits & gravy, waffles, brownies, etc. It's kept me motivated and increased my options. Other brands I've tried are not as good. This brand is relatively affordable and very good comparatively.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix

September 22, 2008Reviewer: Craig in Florida* Honestly, I don't think I would have made it through the second week of my diet without this. The drop biscuits were awesome. Don't kid yourself into thinking they taste just like the other "quik" product, but I'll take Carbquik any day to help the diet. Strongly recommended.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 18, 2008Reviewer: Jyme in Texas* I made some biscuits today, small, but really good!! I have almost forgotten I am on a low carb diet!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 16, 2008Reviewer: Suzan in Connecticut* My only complaint is that it is sweetened, which I don't care for. Otherwise a good replacement for flour.
September 01, 2008Reviewer: Nancy in Michigan* Finally I can have a blueberry muffin for breakfast! What a joy! This product has been a perfect substitute for Bisquick. I used brown splenda(1/3 c), and half & half(2/3c) and (2c)carbquik and (2tbsp)carb balance canola oil, 1 beaten egg, and(3/4c)blueberries Baked for 20 min at 400 and enjoyed my first muffin in several years.Very moist and tasty! Wow! There are quite a few recipes yet to try on lowcarbfriends.com and the carbquik website. Everything from pizza to biscuits. I can't wait to try the sandwich rolls! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
August 24, 2008Reviewer: Jason in Georgia* The waffles were great! Cant wait to try biscuits. I wish I had found this stuff 55 Pounds ago.
August 22, 2008Reviewer: Heather in Oklahoma* I was pleased and surprised by the taste and performance of this product. I have already ordered 2 of the 5lb bags. I really enjoyed the cheese biscuit recipe and it was wonderful used as a breading.
August 15, 2008Reviewer: Laura in California* I love this stuff! So easy to use, makes great low-carb goodies...main meals, desserts... you name it... I can cook for my diabetic friend... but my other friends never know I'm using a special diet product! I've been low-carb for almost 5 years... and this finally satisfies my occasional carb cravings. I hope you always carry this, especially in the 5-pound bags--great savings.
August 13, 2008Reviewer: Patricia in Texas* I make the most fantastic cheese biscuits using the recipe on the box, but I add at least an extra cup of shredded cheddar cheese - my teen age granddaughters who are very picky eaters just absolutely love them! They are great cut in half and then I put cheese, ham and spinach on them - toast it or put it in the microwave. Excellent. I love the product!
August 06, 2008Reviewer: Shelley in Georgia* This product is excellent for making the sugar free Low carb shortcakes! Add freshly whipped cream and strawberries... Voila!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 03, 2008Reviewer: Marcia in Kentucky* The best all purpose low carb baking mix I have tried. I use it for biscuits, pancakes and muffins. I don't follow the recommended directions - just add low carb milk to get the consistency you want for biscuits. For pancakes add eggs and low carb milk. I have found that you can take away ALL hints of low carb taste by adding a little melted butter to your mix.
July 29, 2008Reviewer: stacie in Connecticut* I like experimenting with this product. On a low carb diet it's hard to find products ready-made. I recommend adding a little extra baking powder and not scooping the mix from the bag into your measuring cup. It is a more heavy product than flour so my first few baking items were flat. Now I'm getting the hang of it and have no complaints from the family on switching from flour. One word of advice - make only what you need, cookies and bars tend to go bad faster I think.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 17, 2008Reviewer: Amy in South Carolina* I LOVE this product!!! I have been "low-carbing" for about 5 years and some of the things I miss the most are all of those wonderful southern fried things my grandmother used to make and with this product I can have those again. I have done fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and of course biscuits and pancakes. I even made gravy with this!! I highly recommend this, the taste is great and VERY similar to other similar full carb products. I ordered one small bag the first time and 2 large ones this time!!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 17, 2008Reviewer: Jennifer in California* I baked brownies and blueberry muffins with Carbquik and they came out fabulous! I highly recommend this product.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 16, 2008Reviewer: Debora in Ohio* This product has been a true blessing for our family. My husband was diagnosed with type I diabetes so our entire eating habits were changed overnight. Carbquik has made it possible to have many of the foods we have always loved, including pizza and apple pie!
July 10, 2008Reviewer: Terry in Pennsylvania* The people (or person ) who came up with this product need to receive a saint hood!!! It has probably been one of the most vital products I have found to keep the Hubby Happy, and me too. The baked goods I have made with carbquik taste just like the other product if not better and the recipes on the web site are wonderful!!! If you need more proof just look at my orders !!!I order the stuff by the bulk bag.
July 05, 2008Reviewer: Edna in Delaware* Being diabetic and living the lo carb lifestyle, this product is the best thing since sliced bread! In fact, it allows me to have sliced bread :) and muffins and anything that requires flour...I've snuck this on my friends and they had no idea that it was lo carb. Now they use it as well!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 04, 2008Reviewer: Kim in Alabama* Wonderful product. I have the bisquick cookbook and have enjoyed carbquick in many of these recipies. The "impossible pie" recipes are among my favorites with carbquick.
June 29, 2008Reviewer: Delores in Kentucky* Carbquik Bake Mix is a wonderful low carb product for individuals who miss their breads, muffins, pancake mixes, etc. I have converted a lot of my old high-carb recipes into low carb ones using Carbquik and a low-calorie sugar substitute. Carbquik seems to have a long shelf life so I buy the 5 lb. bag. I have been able to find lots of Carbquik recipes online and have made many, many wonderful breads, muffins, breading mixes for meats, cakes, etc. using this product. It is GREAT!!!!!
June 29, 2008Reviewer: Michelle in South Carolina* I have used this product for a couple of months, very successfully. From crusts for my cheesecakes to cookies, homemade tortillas to pot pies, and pancakes & waffles, Yumm Yumm, the flavor is very palatable. And 17 lbs lighter for myself and 25+ lighter for my hubby, too. Keeps us on the Low Carb food plan and helps us not feel deprived since we get a huge variety now. I love to bake and this certainly helps.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 16, 2008Reviewer: Patricia in Texas* Absolutely as good as Bisquick, so it's wonderful! My kitchen couldn't be without this product.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 09, 2008Reviewer: Sweethelda in California* I love this product! I use it for everything that requires flour or baking mix. I just add a little more baking soda or a little more egg substitute to get a little more rise to it or to adjust the consistency in your baked goods. It takes just a couple tries to get it perfect, so try it with a small batch first. Once it's right, its delicious and it is so much healthier than regular flour or mix. I have been using this for years and have weighed the same since I was 15... I'm now mid 30's.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 08, 2008Reviewer: Linda in Florida* I absolutely love this product! I have made brownies that are soooooo good that my family eats them up! I love the biscuits and pizza too. I'm on my third 5 lb. bag.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 07, 2008Reviewer: CAROL in Arizona* This bake mix is awesome. I have made the pancakes, regular bisquits, cheddar cheese bisquits and used it for coating chicken. Everything I cooked had a great flavor and looks like it was made with high-carb Bisquick. I had ordered two 5-lb bags and am reordering. Lots of recipes to try out yet. Would recommend for anyone on LC.
June 06, 2008Reviewer: Dana in Alabama* I know lots of folks have already said what a great product it is. I just wanted to tell you how I make biscuits. I put the 2 cups of carbquik into the bowl and add a combination of Hood 2% Calorie Countdown and low fat, regular sour cream, or greek yougurt that equals a little over 1/2 cup. Maybe a 2 heaping tablespoons of the sour cream so it tastes a bit like buttermilk. I mix it with a spoon till blended, but not much more than that. Sometimes it looks sorta dry and I add a tablespoon or so of milk. I put some coconut oil on my hands and add a dollop of the batter and pat it into a round shape. It does not stick to my hands or the pan. I put them where the sides of the biscuits almost touch and they grow together as they cook. I use a round caste iron skillet so it has a nice crust. I bake it at 350 till the sides of the biscuit are brown enough for me. It tastes great without a thing on it and I cut down on alot of the fat......no full cream......and give it a buttermilk flavor. They are flaky and tender and taste just wonderful. Love them.
June 04, 2008Reviewer: Janet in South Carolina* This is a very versatile product. I recommend ordering the 5 lb bag, the smaller one will only do one or two recipes!
May 27, 2008Reviewer: Stacy in Arkansas* I absolutely love it!!! After going on a low carb eating plan, I really missed pancakes & biscuits. This product has allowed me to enjoy some of my favorite foods again! I even found a recipe for chocolate chip cookies using carb quick, they are great! I made them for my family & they could not tell the difference & they only have 2 net carbs. I can't wait to try other recipes with this great product!!!
May 21, 2008Reviewer: diane in New Jersey* We loved the Carbquick biscuit mix. We stick to a VERY low carb diet so the biscuits were a real treat.
May 20, 2008Reviewer: Alison in Pennsylvania* This stuff is totally awesome! I'm a carb maniac and can have pancakes, biscuits, and any modified recipe as per the Bisquik recipe index. It keeps my weight down without having to sacrifice my favorite foods.
Thanks for keeping the price down so I can afford to buy it!! I save a ton when I buy the 5 lb. bags. Netrition beats everyone else's price by a mile. I live in the country and with the price of gas these days.....it's cheaper for me to have it shipped to my address. Delivery was fast. My only worry is that it becomes unavailable on the site.

May 10, 2008Reviewer: Diane in Maryland* I had a gastric bypass 5 years ago and stay on a low carb diet. I do like something sweet once in a while and make the best cinnamon cookies with this and Splenda. I lost 185 lb and have kept it all off using low carb. I love all the products I have gotten with Netrition.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 09, 2008Reviewer: Jay in Missouri* Taste leaves something to be desired. After reading reviews and trying I was a bit surprised. When making biscuits, they don't rise very much, are dense, and have funny aftertaste. Have tried adding some leavening which helped a little bit.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 07, 2008Reviewer: Carol in Texas* I ordered the small box to try and was so amazed I'm ordering two 5 lb bags. Everything I have made has been great. Although many of the recipes warn to watch out for stickiness in the dough I have had no trouble. I look forward to trying many of my old 'bisquick' recipes. Adding a little "Old Bay" seasoning to the cheddar biscuits makes them great with seafood!
May 06, 2008Reviewer: Ruth in Illinois* I have used Carbquik for several years, and have been satisfied with most recipes. I have used Carbquik as a breading for fried meats and vegetables, as well as using it in Bisquick recipes. I have also used it as just a substitute for flour in regular recipes - measure for measure. It is a wonderful low carb product that tends not to raise my blood glucose levels. RuthThis review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 28, 2008Reviewer: MARIA in Massachusetts* I have purchased this item twice. I would recommend this to anyone to make the pancakes fluffy just add a little bit more water, instead of using sugar free syrup use one packet of splenda. It taste like the italian cookie.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 26, 2008Reviewer: GLISSELLE in Florida* This product is awesome. I have made pound cake, cheese biscuits and "cornbread" with it. But my favorite is the pound cake. Anyone on low carb diet or lifestyle needs to have this in their kitchen!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 22, 2008Reviewer: Arlene in Colorado* I am now ordering this for the 2nd time and have made some exciting recipes including low carb rolls and low carb almond biscotti.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 22, 2008Reviewer: B in Oklahoma* With diabetes this is a perfect alternative to high carb regular baking mixes. I use this primarily for making waffles, biscuits and a killer, fresh apple cake. Everyone likes the results, not just me. Great product! I hope it never goes away.
April 07, 2008Reviewer: Theresa in Western Australia* After all the other low carb bake mix failures, this one seems to be here to stay. My only gripe is that it is too salty. So taste before you salt, and use only unsalted butter. I made great shortcakes for berries with it, and the cheese biscuits are good as well. I have served these to non-dieters.
April 02, 2008Reviewer: Candace in Oklahoma* This product is amazing!! not to mention, a diet saver!

March 27, 2008Reviewer: Kimberly in Virginia* I made a version of the CarbQuik pizza and, while I thought it was good, it did not taste much like pizza to me. It was more like a big biscuit with pizza toppings, which made it a bit awkward to eat in slices. I ended up cutting it into small squares and shared it with my three-year-old, who absolutely loved it. The "pizza" seemed rather small, compared to the picture on the box, but it was incredibly filling. Aside from being a bit on the dry side, I thought it was delicious and I look forward to trying more CarbQuik recipes.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 24, 2008Reviewer: Patricia in California* I have been using this product for a couple of years now and find it good for all kinds of things - pancakes, biscuits, and breading for veggies to name a few.
Give it a try!
March 20, 2008Reviewer: Linda in North Carolina* I can not tell the difference from Carbquik from the high carb flowers. I baked my favorite pecan muffins and only changed From regular high carb to carbquik and they were great thats why I'm ordering the larger amount now. Thanks for such a great product for low carb dieters, to be able to cook great foods. LindaThis review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 17, 2008Reviewer: Connie in Ohio* I can't live without this stuff. I have replaced almost every "normal" flour recipe with Carbquik Bake Mix. It's just the absolute best and I hope it never goes away. I wouldn't know how to cook.
March 15, 2008Reviewer: Tommie in Oklahoma* Have used this product for several years now. The closest thing I have found to a REAL baking mix. Very versatile!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 15, 2008Reviewer: Daniel in Indiana* I have been using Carbquik Bake Mix for approx. 2 years now! As a low carb consumer, Carbquik is used in many of my gourmet recipes such as pancakes, vege burgers and specialty breads. The results are excellent! I always use the coldest water when mixing Carbquik and other ingredients. Carbquik provides high quality, high fiber and very low carbs, thats what it's all about. There is no other mix or flour that has all the capabilities that Carbquik Bake Mix can be used for. I just wish it could be found in more local markets! Thank you for allowing me to express my views on such a wonderful product.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 12, 2008Reviewer: Katherine in Maryland* this is a wonderful product! I highly recommend this to anyone on low carb diets. Close enough to the product it mimics to fool people on regular diets.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 11, 2008Reviewer: Anne in Indiana* This bake mix is indispensable for low carbers. It works perfectly and is incredibly versatile. It really is exactly like Bisquick. My only comment is that I prefer to use the plain Carbalose flour, also available from Netrition, for breadings.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
March 05, 2008Reviewer: Donna in North Carolina* This stuff has changed my WOE forever--from the pancakes to the muffins to the mock cornbread (just add a few T of flaxmeal for the "grit) to breading on meats... what a true blessing to be able to enjoy bread-like foods without all the carbs!
It takes some "tweaking" of the recipes and adjustments in baking times & temps, but the experiments have all been edible to say the least. Just a wonderful product for those who struggle with sugar or weight issues.
March 03, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Ohio* Carbquik is a great product that I use in all kinds of recipes.
February 28, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Texas* I've purchased this a few times and I think it's worth buying but sometimes I have different outcomes while making a recipe more than once. One time it tastes really good and then other times you can taste the "Carbquik" flavor.
I know some people swear by this product. I always buy the big bag and find some way to use it.
February 25, 2008Reviewer: KENNETH in Rhode Island* This is a real find. It makes great pies, bundt and pound cakes, muffins, and my favorite, waffles. You have to experiment a little with the amount used in the waffle mix, but when you get it just right, you can't beat the results. The kicker is the low carbs. What's to complain?This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
February 18, 2008Reviewer: Laura in Missouri* I love this product! I doubt that I would have been able to stay with my "low carb lifestyle" without being able to make low carb versions of baked goods.
February 12, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Georgia* I love this product! Pancakes without guilt! This mix is a godsend! It is a little tricky at first to get the right consistency, But don't give up, work with it and you will find all sorts of ways to use this!!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
February 08, 2008Reviewer: Debbie in Louisiana* Finally! An alternative for baking without the nasty soy taste that most low carb products contain. Biscuits, bread, brownies, oh my! Yep, losing weight has never been so easy with all the products available at Netrition! Thanks guys, for not giving up on all of us low carbers!
February 05, 2008Reviewer: Sabrina in South Carolina* Can't say enough good stuff about this stuff. I use it for blueberry muffins, cookies, just made fried donut holes for the 1st time tonight with it -- YUM. It is not as good for plain bread as for baking sweets but maybe I haven't found the right recipe yet. This stuff is a LC Life Saver !! I have been doing LC for over 2 years and I don't think I am missing a thing !!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
February 05, 2008Reviewer: Stephanie in Western Australia* I was doubtful, but desperate so I tried it.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 01, 2008Reviewer: joanne in Arizona* I've used this product for over two years now. It does take some "tweaking" of your regular recipes and, yes, the texture is different than regular flour but not so much that it's offensive. I say, "Who cares" when you can eat a waffle or biscuit and still lose weight. It also doesn't raise my BG. I do put a little more leavening in the mix, usually in the form of baking powder and if I'm making waffles I put some vanilla in it. I like the biscuits it makes and, generally, I'll go to the Bisquick website and tweak their recipes and they all turn out fine. The coffee cake is really good. If you're new to low-carbing than you need to know that this is a life saver when it comes to baked goods made from scratch. Thank you Tova Industries for your wonderful product.
February 01, 2008Reviewer: Sandy in Michigan* Used it for breading on chicken-family liked it better than plain flour-even tho I didn't tell them what it was. COOL

January 26, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Michigan* So far I've only made biscuits and pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious! I would absolutely recommend this to any lo-carber. The only bad thing about Carbquik is that it's hard to stop eating it.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix

January 24, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Minnesota* I think this stuff is as close to the real thing as you can get. The results are a little airy and fluffy but if it means I can have waffles, hey, I'm there.
January 09, 2008Reviewer: Charles in Mississippi* My wife makes sausage balls during the holidays but since I was low-carbing I couldn't have any. I bought the Carbquik and she made some sausage balls with it and they tasted great. They weren't quite as good as using normal bake mix but they were awfully close. Sausage balls are good on a low-carb diet so now she is making them for me routinely.

My Husband makes the Cheddar Cheese biscuits/he makes a leftover chicken or turkey pot pie & we make LC cookies. I usually get the BIG 5 LB.bag as we use it constantly! I store it in our Lock & Locks & they keep air tight & water tight. I say it's about time! Yea for Tova Industries (NO relation to Tova Borgnine?)!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
December 26, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* Wonderful, got my hubby and I through some tough times on our low carb diet. I can use this just like Bisquick. I can use so many of the old recipes. Same amounts as the other baking mix. It is wonderful to have biscuits with a meal.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
December 07, 2007Reviewer: A customer in New Jersey* One word: PIZZA. For those of us whose weekly pizza habit contributed to excess weight, pizza made with Carbquik is a great alternative. Some low carb stuff sits on our shelves, but not Carbquik. We can easily use 5 lbs. in a month.
December 07, 2007Reviewer: Amanda in Oregon* I am so thankful for Carbquik. While it appears expensive compared to Bisquick, you are getting a product with good flavor, versatility, and low carbs! If you compare the cost of low carb pancake mix, it's a steal! I make anything with Carbquik that I can with Bisquik, with a slightly different taste and texture. It's really great!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
December 02, 2007Reviewer: Sharyn in Florida* I'm very thankful that this product came out! I love it. There is a small aftertaste, however that can be cut down with a little vanilla extract and a packet of Splenda. I make some of the best pancakes with a mix of Carbquick and WPI 5000. My husband and I have them every Saturday, and it totally curbs my craving for pancakes!
November 16, 2007Reviewer: Sonja in Illinois* OMG...BEST pancakes ever! I add in some Log Cabin sugar-free syrup to the pancake mix and YUMMY! They are hard to flip, but worth it. Also makes great biscuits and great pot pie. My hubby will even eat it. Delicious...worth every penny!
November 15, 2007Reviewer: Helen in Florida* I must admit I was pretty skeptical, but made drop biscuits using Carbquick Bake mix... I didn't exactly follow instructions, but did use 1/2 the recipe at first, stirring just until mixed, then using a tablespoon, shaped four biscuits into ovals on a baking sheet sprayed with Pam. The biscuits are so light, so fantastic my hubby is begging for them every day... no kidding! I thought they were great considering the calories and carbs, but though they were slightly salty.
November 11, 2007Reviewer: Dawn in Minnesota* Very good baking mix. Easy to use, great to take camping because you can make pancakes and biscuits by just adding water. Back of the 1 lb box and the companies website offers many wonderful recipes for using Carbquik, I'd recommend taking a look. I've found that adding a 1/2 tsp of fresh baking powder helps make muffins raise better, but works ok without too. If you have leftover biscuits, try cutting them in 1/2 to fit your toaster and making a toasted sandwich with them.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
November 07, 2007Reviewer: Jennifer in New York* A++++++++++++++++++++++ Can this wicked terrific bake mix really be LOW CARB???? YEPPERS!!! It's unbelievable~ Delicious. Versatile. A must have for LC'ers!!!! I am blown away with Carbquik! My oven has been a'bakin' since my first shipment arrived. Baked goods are a'flyin' and it feels great to know I'm totally in line with my LC lifestyle! Ordered the 5 lb. box and will be reordering again and again and again! Never get caught without your Carbquick in the pantry. It's a God-send and priceless!!!! AMEN!!!
November 06, 2007Reviewer: Tammy in Armed Forces AP* I love this bake mix. I wanted to make bread today, and I mixed nut flours with the Carbquik and honey.(+more) It turned out like cake!

November 06, 2007Reviewer: Debra in Wisconsin* Carbquick is an excellent product!! I am quite resistant to weight loss and use it almost every day with no problems or stalls. Everything I have made from it has been delicious, quick and easy. It also goes a long way. I bought the 5lb bag based on reviews on this site and re-ordered after trying it. I'm still on my first bag.
November 02, 2007Reviewer: Cathy in Michigan* This product helps us stay sane. My daughter and I follow low carb, and we have found this biscuit mix to be easy and delicious. I have even made chicken and dumplings using the bake mix and it was quite good. We make both regular and garlic cheese biscuits using the mix and will continue to order it.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
October 26, 2007Reviewer: Jennifer in Michigan* Very good for low-carb! I didn't care for the pancakes I made or the drop biscuits, but I use it in place of flour in many baked goods and it turns out quite well, although the texture can tend to be very crumbly. You will find white flakes present in this mix. I'm not sure what they are, but they don't affect the flavor in any way.
October 24, 2007Reviewer: Christine in Oregon* I have been using Carbquik for a couple years now & am very satisfied with it. When I went low carb I was willing to do without high carb foods, but I did miss them. I have a Bisquick cookbook that has many yummy recipes in it. I have used the Carbquik as a substitute & I can't tell the difference in the taste. It is wonderful to be able to cook up biscuits & pancakes & impossible pies etc knowing it won't add to my carb intake or waistline.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
October 23, 2007Reviewer: Joan in Tennessee* My husband and I have fallen in love with the product. It makes the most wonderful biscuits and is a great substitute for the full carb variety. I am going to have to check out some of the other recipes, they sound wonderful as well.
October 21, 2007Reviewer: Cathy in Maine* Carbquik does bring a slight aftertaste to baked goods, but with some experimentation and flavoring, it can be overcome. As with the Carbalose I use Tova products often with good results.
October 21, 2007Reviewer: Barbara in Texas* My main use for this product is for pancakes but I also use it to make a cornbread type quick bread that I then use to make faux cornbread dressing for the holidays using my old recipe. I can then have comfort food without the high carb counts!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulOctober 01, 2007Reviewer: Patricia in Georgia* I love Carbquik. It has so many uses. I make pancakes, gravy, fried chicken breast occasionally, and many other items! I feel better using this than white flour because I am on a low carbohydrate diet. Now I can eat some of things I love, still lose weight, and feel great about it. Give it a try!
October 01, 2007Reviewer: Patricia in South Carolina* This stuff is FANTASTIC. I've tried all kinds of low carb baking products and this one is by far, the best of them. Taste much like Bisquick. I am type 2 diabetic and it does my heart good to eat a product such as this, knowing I'm not raising my blood sugar. Let us not deny the emotional aspect of eating good food. I love biscuits and sausage and gravy. This product makes great biscuits. You can't possibly feel like you're missing out on anything eating like this. I love this stuff. Thank you Tova Industries.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 24, 2007Reviewer: A customer in California* It won't fool anyone who's used to similar full carb products, but once I heard about the low carb microwave sponge bread recipe, I'll never be without it, I make the bread several times a week!
September 22, 2007Reviewer: ELISA in New York* I've used Carbquik Bake Mix for about 3 years and it's terrific. It performs just like regular flour and is so diverse, you can use if for just about everything where flour is called for. I use it for all my frying needs. Just season it as you like. It also makes great pancakes! It makes living a low carb lifestyle so much easier. Great product! Hope it stays around for a long, long time!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 22, 2007Reviewer: angella in Mississippi* We tried the cheese biscuit recipe and it was great.. and easy to make.. makes up for all the times I wished I had bread and knew I couldn't have any..This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
September 17, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Texas* This is the best bake mix I have found. It beats the others I have tried all hollow! I have dredged foods in it for frying too. Now... I'd like one that is just the flour (rather than the bake mix which has leavening and shortening.) Thanks for a great product!

It makes really tasty pancakes and baked goods! I am really surprised and very happy that it is so good. Every other low carb bake mix that I have eaten tastes horrible and when baked has the texture of chewing foam rubber! Not this product, it really is very good!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
August 20, 2007Reviewer: syreeta in Ohio* I love this product and am so glad it comes in a 5 lbs bag. My family loves the cheddar biscuits that I make. Although it is not Bisquick, it definitely helps calm my bready cravings. I have been able to lose 35lbs while incorporating this into my diet and I could not be happier. I really thought I would have to do without bread, pancakes, and muffins but this is great. Texture is amazing. I'm ordering another big bag ...seeing that we ate through the 5 lb bag in 2 months.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
August 14, 2007Reviewer: Paula in Florida* I had not found a lo-carb baking mix that is so versatile as this one. If you want the lightest tasting pancakes ever, try this mix. Seafood breaded with this mix is crispy and light. Moist banana bread without the added carbs, FANTASTIC!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
August 09, 2007Reviewer: james in Pennsylvania* Tried 4 recipes and liked them all.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
August 08, 2007Reviewer: Charles in Texas* My husband can't believe the biscuits are low carb. If you make the cheese biscuits, they're just like the ones in the restaurants. You can do all kinds of things with this stuff - pancakes, muffins, waffles, etc. Recipes are on the box.
August 06, 2007Reviewer: BOBBY in California* This low-carb bake mix is one of the most versatile "flour" substitutes I've ever used. Even though it's a "mix" you can treat it as if it were "plain", and it has an added flavor. I've made pumpkin bread, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, and fried chicken breading with this, and it's the shizznit.
July 27, 2007Reviewer: Michele in Pennsylvania* I use this baking mix almost every day for something. It's great for anyone on a low carb diet. I make delicious low-carb desserts with it using a small amount of the Splenda brown sugar mix. It curbs any sweet tooth, I promise you that. Also, it'll make pancakes and waffles and with the low-sugar syrups available it makes a great low carb breakfast, just add the eggs on the side. I highly recommend this product and have been using it since it became available. I honestly don't know what I would do without it!!!!!
July 23, 2007Reviewer: Toni in Arizona* I love this bake mix. It's been wonderful for making my fried green tomatoes, and nut crusted fish. Made wonderful pancakes too. I reach for it many times a week.
July 19, 2007Reviewer: cathy in New York* I have tried the mix for pancakes and like the taste of the product. I did find that more liquid is needed for making pancakes otherwise they turn out more like biscuits. I am buying the larger bag to try with other recipes.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 10, 2007Reviewer: Mary in Maryland* If you liked the original Bisquik impossible pies, you can duplicate them with this product. They are really delicious! I tried a seafood pie using green peppers, grated cheddar cheese and crabmeat... you could not tell the difference in taste from the very fattening Bisquik mix recipe. Try Carbquik, its very good, and the carb count per slice is very low.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 06, 2007Reviewer: Katy in New York* This stuff blows me away! FABULOUS substitute for other baking mixes, GREAT taste......I purchased for the first time in the small size, figuring it might not be so wonderful....I am happy to say that I was SOOOOO wrong! I made pie crust and pressed it into tiny muffin pans, baked until golden, then added a spoonful of Jok'N'Al lemon curd......what a special treat! SCRUMPTIOUS! I'm looking forward to experimenting with more recipes. My next order will certainly include the large 5 lb bag of this product!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
July 04, 2007Reviewer: Barbara Ann in California* Made peanut butter cookies, turned out good but will use 1/2 macadamia butter and 1/2 peanut butter next time. Made some cinnamon pecan rolls that turned out very good. Next time I shall make a cream cheese 'frosting' for them. So far I bought a box and then a 5 lb. Bag. Now I am buying the Carbalose flour to play with.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 29, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Kentucky* I have only tried the Cheddar Garlic Biscuits with the Carbquik mix so far. They were pretty good. Next time I will use more cheese and garlic than the recipe called for. I almost felt like I was cheating by eating a biscuit! They were a nice change to our usual, boring low carb diet.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 28, 2007Reviewer: Jean in Michigan* This is one of the handiest low carb products I have ever tried...and I have tried many. You can use it in so many ways. Almost anything you can do with regular wheat flour, you can do with Carbquik. Just cut down or eliminate the salt from your recipe. This product has a salty taste to it. Also, use any flavorings liberally. There are tons of recipes on several low carb boards for use of this product. Highly recommended!
June 21, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Texas* Has anyone tried this product with jalapeño poppers. I really enjoy breaded, stuffed jalapeños much like Razoo'a Rat Toes. I would be interested in a recipe for this. I just bought this product, but it hasn't arrived yet.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
June 06, 2007Reviewer: Stephanie in New York* I cannot say enough about this product, it's delicious-- makes killer waffles that NO ONE would guess are "low carb"- I buy it in the 5lb bags and use it for my whole family, everyone loves it. muffins, cakes and other bread type products are back on the menu thanks to Carbquik!!!
June 06, 2007Reviewer: Janet Lynda in Maryland* This is a wonderful product; so versatile. You can use it for baking and breading! It isn't grainy.
May 31, 2007Reviewer: ETHEL in Georgia* I really like this product. Makes great tasting pancakes and biscuits. I also use it to coat vegetables for frying. Sure makes sticking to a low carb diet a lot easier.No awful soy taste. This is great !This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 31, 2007Reviewer: Lisa in California* I'd only used it for the coffee cake recipe, until I found the microwave sponge bread recipe, which I make several times a week--whoever invented that is brilliant, so easy and very bread like. I was missing bread, now that most of the low carb ready made breads are no longer available, at least in my area. Does anyone have any other recipes for it they recommend?
May 28, 2007Reviewer: PANICO in New York* I have been using Carbquik quite a few years. It means so much to someone who can not enjoy the simple foods in life like pancakes, muffins, pound cake, etc., due to there high Carb count and Carbquik made these treats possible for me.
Even those who don't need to watch their carb intake enjoy the quality and taste of Carbquik.
The only problem I have right now is, keeping enough on hand, it goes to fast, everyone else wants my pancakes.
Thanks Carbquik!!!!!!!!!!!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 23, 2007Reviewer: Karen in New York* I tried the Carbquik Bake Mix as a Pancake batter, and it was delicious. Could not tell the difference between it and the other national higher carb brand. Would recommend it to all low carb and diabetic folks.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 23, 2007Reviewer: Patrick in Ohio* I use this bake mix to make muffins, pancakes, crusts, and even cakes. It works very well and tastes great! In my recipes I add cream cheese, butter, and eggs to add moisture to the mix and it also makes it really fluffy when it cooks.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 18, 2007Reviewer: Helen in Kansas* What a wonderful find!! We now have biscuits, pancakes and even a wonderful bread. I use it as a stand alone flour or add other baking ingredients to create quality baked goods. Adding butter to the biscuit recipe created a biscuit that was every bit as good as the high carb variety. AND so darn easy to make!!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 17, 2007Reviewer: Mindy in Missouri* I absolutely love Carbquik. I think it has an excellent taste. I have read other reviews stating there is an odd taste to it, but that has not been my experience. I have used it to make Spinach Pie and other recipes, but I've also made the drop biscuits with just the CQ and water. In fact, that is why I can only buy the 1 lb box. I bought the 5 lb bag and it was so easy to whip up a batch of biscuits - I was eating them all the time - LOL. Knowing my inability to exercise portion control with this, I am limiting myself to only buying the 1 lb box on an occasional basis. :-)
May 13, 2007Reviewer: Lynn in Florida* I missed flour and Carbquik works really well. I've made fried chicken and it is great. Lately I've been into cream cheese drop cookies...really good but I have to portion control or I'll eat a whole batch...This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 13, 2007Reviewer: Pam in Oklahoma* I've used the bake mix for several things--but as far as I'm concerned the pancakes I make with it are as good or better than any pancakes I've ever eaten. . .all this, without the high carbs! I started out ordering it in a 1 lb box--now I'm ordering it 5 lbs at a time.
May 12, 2007Reviewer: Karen in New York* With this product I know I can live for life with low carb... I have been using this product for 3 years and always keep a full canister. I make everything with this and it always turns out great.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
May 11, 2007Reviewer: Janet in Indiana* You know those cheese biscuits at Red Lobster? The buttery, cheesy, ummm,ummm ones? With Carbquik I can make those for my family and they can't tell the difference. Well, OK, I exaggerate. Those of us on low carb are so excited to have something this rich and good that we can't tell the difference. This baking mix bakes up into a regular looking product. And it tastes really a lot like a regular flour baking mix. And the best part is there's no soy bean products to add yucky taste and unwanted phytohormones. I don't know about you, but soy products react badly in my system. I have to be careful of hormones. Thank you Carbquik for not using soy flour.
May 07, 2007Reviewer: Susan in Florida* I absolutely love this product. It makes those Bisquick recipes low-carb. Thank-you for this great time saver.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 30, 2007Reviewer: Gary in California* After losing 9 pounds in two weeks, ending the induction period (sort of, not really on Atkins-just low carbing it) I decided to use this product. I researched some of the recipes on the Tova website and found one for the Monte Cristo Sandwhich. Oh yum! The batter wasn't exactly like bread, more like a biscuit, but it was so great!! My DP and I ate the entire pan (which was only three servings).
I also tried the Carbquik pancake recipe. I'm not sure if I did anything wrong, but the batter was too thick! I didn't use heaping measurements, but found I had to keep adding half-n-half to thin it down. I probably used an extra 1/3 of a cup or more. I also threw in a capful of coconut extract.
The pancakes were a little tough to flip, but once I got the flip timing down, they were just fine. You do NOT need to add butter to these (as the recipe calls for a stick!). I would love to find a way to reduce all that butter-but the pancakes were served with sugar-free maple syrup, ham and an excellent "Faux Hash Brown" casserole-it was a scrumptious Saturday brunch!! Thanks Tova!!This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix
April 25, 2007Reviewer: Lisa in Alaska* Leaving reviews for everything I buy, and love! This is one. Makes the tastiest, quickest, bisquits! Wrap a hotdog and cheese in this and bake! Mmm mmm good! A+++
April 25, 2007Reviewer: Janet in California* Incredible! You can make Red Lobster cheese biscuits and you'd swear it's the real thing!! You've GOT to measure things exactly, though! I found this out the hard way. Don't add extra cheese--you simply don't need it for flavor and it makes pancakes out of your biscuits.This review is specific to Carbquik Bake Mix

I recently made a batch of banana bread and substituted Carquik for flour and Splenda for sugar and I defy anyone to tell me I had done that. We use this
