Hi again. I discovered a recipe for Dutch Baby pancakes on Yummly. Don’t know where the name came from (anybody?) but they’re delicious. I include some fresh raspberries and sprinkle a tiny but if powdered sugar on top instead of syrup. Only thing is they don’t provide the number of grams or ounces that constitute a serving🙁 so I take total servings, divide the recipe to make just 1, get the ounces from there and adjust the listed carbs based on my own response. 21 works well for me but yours may be different depending on what you add and how much. I’m sharing the recipe I use but there are tons of others to experiment with.
I just found this great Dutch Baby Recipe on Yummly Dutch Baby Recipe | Yummly

Sounds delicious Dorie @wadawabbit .
Your method of calculating the carbs per serving is close to what I’ve done. When I read the cooking instructions, etc., I saw that the entire recipe feeds four, so if you divide the batter into four “equal” portions [I find this difficult with some batters], the “17 carbs” claimed at the bottom appears to be one serving size.
Another method I’ve used for delicious breakfast scones my wife makes, is to use my food scale [after reading the recipe ingredients] and WAGing fairly closely the carbohydrate count for the one I put on my plate.

@wadawabbit, @Dennis Another new term to add to the dictionary…WAG = ?
I LOVE Dutch baby pancackes. I typically have, in my past life, had it with lemon and powdered sugar.
The name derives from Germany, btw, @wadawabbit

LOL. Thanks @joe
I have added this to the dictionary!
New to the forum, but my biggest piece of advice for keep blood glucose stable after a meal is to always pair your carbs with a protein and/or fat to slow the digestion down. Also avoid drinking caffeine by itself at breakfast as this illicits a stress response, increasing cortisol, which also can make glucose wonky.

Hi, welcome. I have noticed a bit of a spike in my numbers when I have caffeine in between meals or alone before breakfast although not too bad but…
Drink it with meals to decrease its assimilation rate!

I like Avocado now and then - never thought of pairing them with cream cheese and cinnamon though! Thanks for the suggestion.

I have used several of the recipes from that blog that I really love.
I tried the Avocado/cream cheese combo this morning. It’s a combination I never without have thought of, and I liked it - although getting the cream cheese on was tricky😊. I like spicy foods and discovered a spice called Ghost Pepper (Naga Jolokia) Sea Salt. I’ve been sprinkling it on everything - including the Avocado. Yum! Thanks again for the suggestion.
Sounds yummy 
Thanks for sharing!
