Came up with this recipe last night and it is by FAR the best flaxmeal muffin I've ever had!!! :yum: Now, I'm in pre-maintenence, so I added some rolled oats and dried cranberries, but if you're in an earlier phase feel free to reduce or omit these ingredients (or substitute other dried fruits). If you do, however, omit the fruit and oats add extra cinnamon and a little extra flaxmeal... These are best warm with a little cream cheese, but good with butter and sugar free preserves too.
As-is, these have 13.6 carbs and 5.7 grams of fiber (7.9 net carbs). If you omit the fruit and oats, the carb count would drop to less than 1 net carb each. Click the link to see this recipe on my recipe page or to view other low carb recipes.
