Low Carb Flax Seed Muffins
- 6 T butter - melted
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup whipping cream (or half and half)
- Beat these 3 ingredients together, and then add:
- ½ cup Splenda (artificial sweetener)
- 1 T maple flavoring
- 1 T vanilla
Mix the following together and add to the above:
- 2 t cinnamon
- 1 t nutmeg
- ½ rounded t baking powder
- ½ rounded t baking soda
- 1 cup ground flaxseeds
- ¼ cup soy flour or Atkin's Bake Mix
- 4 oz black walnuts, chopped (optional)
Put into 12 paper cupcake liners in a muffin tin and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You
can also double the recipe and get 18-20 larger size muffins.
These have been recommended as "very good with lots of fiber". About 4 carb per muffin but over
3 is in the form of fiber. Other flavorings have been tried - banana, pineapple or unsweetened
coconut also taste great. These muffins freeze well, too.
These can also be made in the microwave. In a 1000 watt microwave, 12 muffins take about 2
minutes and 10 seconds.
