Coconut Flour & Oat Fiber Pyslli Wraps – Atkins OWL Friendly
Jump to recipe

What are Psylli Wraps? And why are there so many versions? Psylli Wraps are a healthy low carb keto flatbread, wrap or tortilla, depending upon how you use them! The original Fluffy Chix Cook Psylli Wraps make convenient CDS (content delivery systems), grain, sugar and gluten free. There currently are 3 versions of low carb Psylli Wraps. Let’s see the difference between the three versions.

Here are the links to the different versions of low carb keto Psylli Wraps

Coconut Flour & Oat Fiber Psylli WrapsΒ (version 2)Β are Atkins OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss) friendly. It’sΒ an UPDATED version of the Basic Induction Psylli Wraps that Susie T. played around with a while ago. We wanted to see if we could complicate a great recipe and give it a little more bread-y mouth feel. It’s still a quick, easy (and super low calorie and low carb tortilla option). The original recipe, inspired byΒ Susie T’sΒ friend, DocP, only had 3 ingredients: psyllium husks (whole or ground), egg whites from a carton and salt. A super simple recipeΒ with very pleasant results. But you know Susie T; she just can’t help herself (T-for-Tweak).

The difference between the first two Psylli Wrap recipes is thatΒ the formerΒ is Induction friendly (and sorta-kinda Dr. Westman’s No Sugar No Starch Page 4 friendly). ItΒ onlyΒ containsΒ whole psyllium husks, egg whites, baking powder, and spices. The latest version of low carb Psylli Wraps (recipe follows)Β is a bit more complicated.Β The latest version is Atkins OWL friendly. In this low carb wrap recipe, we use a couple of ingredients that are reserved for later rungs of Atkins Phase 2/3β€”formerly OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss) Ladder: coconut flour isn’t introduced until OWL or Phase 2β€”LevelΒ  2); oat fiber isn’t introduced until much later in the plan. Oat fiber is a Phase 3, formerly OWL Level 9, food. If you want to keep the recipe Level 2 OWL friendly, simply substitute almond flour for the oat fiber in the recipe.

What Is Oat Fiber?

Some of you may be wondering about oat fiber, especially if you are gluten sensitive or Celiac. What is oat fiber? Oat fiber is soluble fiber “flour” that is 100% fiber and almost zero grams net effective carbs. Made from grinding the outer hull of oats into a fine powder, oat fiber adds structure and flavor to low carb baked goods. But it is not certified gluten free. Although oats do not contain wheat gluten, they can often be cross-contaminated in the field with wheat or wheat-family rotation crops. They can also be cross-contaminated in the processing plant. Often, the same plant processes both wheat and oats and there will be remnants of wheat and wheat gluten left on machinery that could potentially make it into the bag of oat flour/bran/fiber.

Make Version 2 Gluten & Grain Free

If you need certified gluten free products, substitute oat fiber for certified gluten free oat bran (slightly more carbs). Bob’s Red Mill makes a readily available, certified gluten free, oat bran. Adjust the recipe accordingly. Oat bran is the outer jacket of oat grain. It has a higher fiber content making it lower carb, especially if you subtract fiber content to use net effective carbs when counting and logging daily carb totals. If you want to remain completely grain free and keep the recipe suitable for OWL Level 2, then substitute the oat fiber for roughly twice as much almond flour as the amount of oat fiber. Fluffy Chix Cook has almond sensitivity, but knows with very good authority that Honeyville Grains makes the best almond flour on the market (at the time of this writing). Honeyville’s almond flour is a much finer texture and grind from competitors’ flour. If you can’t order the 5-pound bag from Honeyville, then we recommend either Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour (readily available) or Tropical Traditions’ Almond Flour.

You’ll find the Coconut Flour & Oat Fiber Psylli Wraps are a little thicker and taste more like a tortilla than the original version. They’re just as easy to make and store for your weekly low carb keto lifestyle. Make these convenient low carb OWL Psylli Wraps ahead and chill until ready to use. If you can make pancakes or crepes, these have your name all over them! This recipe works great for any meal! It doubles and triples well. Make only enough for the week. It’s a great way to get your psyllium in without drinking Metamucil–for those who are challenged by occasional irregularity!

  1. I can tell you! They freeze well! I made a whole bunch the first time I made these, carefully wrapped each one in wax paper and placed them in a drawer of my refrigerator and promptly forgot about them.
    I think I found them a couple of weeks later with mold on them. SO SAD!!!!

    So I froze several of the next batch. They were fine, just fine, after thawing. Probably not as perky as the unfrozen, but it works for me better than throwing away food.
    Love this recipe!

    • DeAnne! Thanks so much for testing the freezer versions!!! Yay! And thank you for being such a staunch supporter of Fluffy Chix!!!

      (Oh and I get so mad when I allow food waste to happen! Grrrrr! I do my best to have zero waste around here. But these things just seem to happen sometimes!)

  2. Would this work using the whole eggs instead of only the egg whites?

    • So the batter must be thin and pourable. Carton egg whites are more runny than egg whites from a shell. I would only suggest playing with it? Maybe add a little water to the egg whites to make them runnier?? It should be like very thin crepe batter. And as it sits, it thickens, so you keep adding egg white (typically–or at least we do). So I would just say get your nonstick pan (MUST) out and try it!! πŸ˜€ Let me know how it works ok?

  3. I’m a tad confused as to why these are not on the Atkins Induction friendly list (version ll of the wraps, that is). At 0.6 net carb, I would think they would be more than friendly as ultra low carb? Perhaps I need to go back and review Atkins induction..it’s been quite awhile since I did that and things may have changed πŸ™‚

    • Because even though the carbs are ultra low, it has ingredients that aren’t considered Induction level (coconut flour and oat fiber). So I can’t really claim them as Induction Friendly even though they don’t usually cause blood sugar spikes, nor cause you to over eat carbs… πŸ˜€

  4. I have the psylllium husk powder. Will this still work replacing the whole husk? They sound good and would like to try this recipe.

    • I haven’t personally tested it with the powder. Most of my recipes call for whole husks. You would need to use as much as 1/2 of the amount and just try to figure out quantities. But I do think some use powder.
