Thanks Penelope! This is on my list to make this weekend, whilst everyone else is munching on Krispy Kreme donuts! LOL

Hi everybody

I just made these and must say they taste great. Does anybody find them dry though? It may just be me, prior to this woe I did not cook. Is it possible that I left them in too long and they dryed out. Is the mix tempermental that way? I only had whipping cream, could that be the problem?

Wow, these are great! I used Designer Whey's French Vanilla for the protein powder/shake mix. Surprisingly sweet, but definitely in a good way ... they weren't too sweet, and there was no significant splenda aftertaste.

Bellaluna, they seemed quite moist to me.

Love this recipe. To keep carbs down I have started using DaVinci vanilla syrup instead of splenda. It makes the muffins puff up a lot like popovers. Very moist and very good.

re: flax muffins
 

Hi!
I was thankful to see a recipe with flax. I bought some already ground and was not sure what to do with it. I "tweeked" your recipe, because I did not have flavored protein powder, I had plain powder. That batter seemed very dry, so I added more cream. I was not sure if the batter should have been that dry...was it? And I only added a 1/4 C. of splenda. I just ate one hot out of the oven with butter....very good! :thup: Thanks for posting that recipe. Angie :wave:

Where do you get almond flour/meal? or do you make it?

OH MY GOD! but alittle concerned...
 

Okay, just made these (2 batches in fact) and they were terrific!
I made mine with Keto Orange Creme shake mix (only kind I had) and boy are they good. Can't wait to try different flavors.
My only concern is:
I put the recipe into Mastercook, the exact ingredients you had (except using orange flavor shake instead of vanilla). Mastercook tells me there are 24 gr carbs minus 7 gr fiber still leaves 17 gr. carbs!? Am I missing something??
How did you come up with 5.5 gr. carbs??

How much davinci syrup?
 

Catmom,
how much davinci syrup did you use to equal 1/2 cup of splenda? Did it make things too runny?

I can't wait to try these! I've been looking for a quick breakfast that I can freeze for the rest of the week and have been dying to try flax seed meal.

One question - would any vanilla flavored protien shake mix work with this? I have a whey-based one at home which is just taking up space in my cupboard.

YUP
 

I would say "YES"... any kind of shake mix, protein powder or whey powder!
As I said I even tried Orange Creme flavored Shake mix and they were GREAT!

On the DaVinci substitution - I substitute an equal amount of syrup for the splenda. The recipe is a bit thinner but when it cooks it becomes almost a popover in consistency - not quite as hollow as a popover but with a few pockets in the interior and very puffed up. Actually I like it better than the original recipe and it really saves in carbs.

Got ahead of myself!
 

lol! I was so enthusiastic about trying this that I mixed up a batch and pre-heated my oven. Only then did I realize that my boyfriend doesn't seem to own a muffin tray. I guess the batter will have to sit in the fridge while I go out muffin tray shopping.

Yummy!
 

Well the muffins turned out delicious. I used 1/4c davinci white chocolate syrup, 1/8c splenda, 1/8c brown sugartwin. My DH thought they had a nasty AS after-taste, but I didn't notice any. He seems to be sensitive to that taste no matter which AS I use. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about him eating all my LC treats!

Hmmm
 

If he's like my DH, it's probably in his head... he believes if it's not real sugar... it doesn't taste right.

Has anyone run these numbers thru Fitday to see how many carbs they have per serving?
