Tried these today - not bad at all.
Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins (LC version)
INGREDIENTS
2 cups finely ground almonds
1 cup flax meal
1 cup Splenda
1 tsp. baking powder could have used less even still
1 tsp. salt
2 small eggs slightly beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
2/3 cup soy milk
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup blueberries
4 oz. Cream cheese
Combine almonds, flax, Splenda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In another bowl combine slightly beaten eggs, sour cream, milk, vanilla and melted butter: add dry ingredients. Stir well to mix.
Fold in blueberries and the cream cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Spoon (well, I poured it in, it's quite a loose mixture. Maybe only 1 egg??) into paper cases (it made 12 large ones) in a muffin tray.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until muffins test done.

They're not bad actually. The 1 tsp baking soda still leaves a taste in my mouth but they're nice cold. They're NOT a dense muffin either, even though with all those almonds you'd think they would be!
I'm also not entirely sure whether I like blueberries or not lol!
Raspberries maybe...
The original recipe called for 4 TSP baking powder which is a huge amount and they really don't need it Also, 2 cups of blueberries made the muffins very very moist - I could probably have gotten away with using only 1 cup.
They make a nice change for breakfast anyway.
