Low Carb Muffins

Hi everyone. I just made these and they are soooo good - they have the consistency of a scone.

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

If you can't find fresh or frozen cranberries, simply leave them out or substitute with 1/2 chopped apple.

1 cup Atkins Bake Mix ** see below
1/2 cup very finely ground walnuts
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup SPLENDA
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup fresh cranberries, chopped

1.Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 six compartment muffin tins. In a large bowl, whisk bake mix, walnuts, cinnamon and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk sugar substitute, pumpkin puree, eggs and vegetable oil until well blended.
2.Add pumpkin mixture to bake mix mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in cranberries. Divide batter in muffin tins.
3.Bake 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in tins 5 minutes; turn onto wire rack to cool completely.

That seems like a lot of Splenda. Like 4 teaspoons per muffin.

Did you use the Atkins bake mix or the substitute bake mix ?

:yum: Darling bearbear, I just ate my first muffin in 3 weeks!! Thanks so much. these are terrific. I used almonds instead of walnuts since I had some. Added only 2/3 cup slenda. I thinned it a little with club soda since it seemed to thick. I put 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice since I ran out of cinnamon for some reason.

Thanks ever so much. Suce a treat! :wave: Nancy

PS. Do you have a bran muffin recipe, could I add bran or flax instead of almonds?? :roll:

Hi. These muffins sound delicious, but alas, i have a problem. It has always been my thing to drink milk with a muffin and I can't have milk. What would be a nice tasting substitute for milk-would cream and water mixed together be any good? Thanks in advance for any reply!
