Make these muffins for your strawberries this weekend!

Low Carb Muffins! These versatile sugar-free and low-carb muffins can be the basis for many variations, including low carb blueberry or apricot muffins.  They are also great as the "shortcake" for strawberry or blueberry dessert

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour (almond meal)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup water
• Sweetener to taste -- about 1/3 cup usually works well -- liquid preferred

Preparation:

1) Preheat oven to 350 F. 2) Butter a muffin tin. You can really do it with any size, but I'm basing the recipe on a 12-muffin tin. 3) Mix dry ingredients together well. 4) Add wet ingredients and mix thoroughly (You don't want strings of egg white in there and you don't have to worry about "tunnels" when you are using almond meal). 5) Put in muffin tins (about 1/2 to 2/3 full) and bake for about 15 minutes. Variations: - Add 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries for blueberry muffins. - For apricot muffins, take a teaspoon of sugar-free apricot jam on each muffin and pu**** in slightly (it will sink more during baking). - Substituted 1 cup of flax meal for 1 cup of almond flour, used powdered splenda for the sweetener and added frozen raspberries. Nutritional Information: Each of 12 muffins has 1.5gr carb plus 2 grams fiber, 6 grams protein, and 185 calories.

Lori.......another great recipe...thanks for sharing!! Hugs, connie d

Oh yummy~and they have protien, too!! BTW, Trader Joe's has the Almond meal, in case anyone is wondering where to get it-I saw it there, but didn't have a recipie that I wanted to use, so now I have an excuse to go there!!  thanks!

This sounds really yummy.. I love muffins, but haven't been able to eat them since surgrey....I will have to try these....

and by the way.... any excuse to go to Trader Joes, is a good excuse!!!! LOL

These sound really yummy!  I might just have to try and make them sometime!  I haven't really baked since just before my surgery when I helpd my sister make Christmas goodies (and that was while I was on my LD)!  Quick question though when you list liquid sweetner what did you use or would you reccomend?

I wouldn't use liquid...  Let me whip up a batch today with my splenda and i"ll let you know.  I was going to make these to take Friday to my girlfriends for the fireworks  :)  She's making chicken wings and I"m bringing dessert  :) The only liquids I generally use are davinci syrups or stevia... and stevia generally has a bit of a licorice aftertaste...  and I've never cooked with it - the measurements are so off with it as it is SOOOO concentrated... I'll report back this afternoon  :) *hugs*

Thank you so much for posting this....... A NEW IDEA!!!!!!!!  can't wait to make em......THANKS!!!!!! Hugs Marsh
