I have tweeked recipe again, just as good, lower carbs now than last week. Here is what I did.........................
1/2 cup almond flour (6 net carbs)
1/2 cup of flax meal (zero with fiber taken away)
1 cup whey protien powder, the one that I am using is zero carbs, not vanilla flavored or sweetened. The brand is MLO Sports Nutrition Super High Protein Powder. (ZERO CARBS)
25 drops of EZ Sweetz (ZERO CARBS)
1 teas lemon extract (ZERO CARBS, ACCORDING TO MY BOTTLE)
2 teas vanilla extract (my bottle is alcohol and sugar free and is zero carbs)
1 1/2 teas baking powder, alum free (zero carbs)
2 large eggs (less than 2 carbs)
Used 6 oz of cream cheese, 4 oz in the mix and 2 oz cut into cubes, 1 cube in center of each of the 12 muffins. (carbs are less than 6)
1 pinch of salt
4 tbs melted butter (zero carbs)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (2.4 carbs for my brand)
3/4 cup frozen blueberries (3.19 net carbs) Frozen seems to stay in place and not sink like fresh does.
No lemon juice used, save those carbs!
I had to add about 1/2 cup water as batter was thicker this time, I guess protien powder sucked up the moisture. Makes 12 really full muffins. This brought carbs to 1.6 instead of 2.47 from last week.
I doubled the recipe as everyone in the house loves these. I am going to try a mixed berry next time.
