Does anyone have a recipe for low-carb muffins that I can make for my breakfast? I am fairly new to this site and have been low-carbing for 10 days and am finding that breakfast is my downfall as too many eggs just don't agree with me.

Thanks,
Jenye/Ashenpond.

Hi Jenye,

I just searched the site for you and came up with:

Matey, I've moved your post from the Oz forum, as it does not pertain to anything particularly Australian.

Check out this forum (Breakfast Ideas) for more brekkie suggestions.

Cheers.

yep...try this

200gr almond flour/ground almonds
1/2 cup coconut
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup splenda
2 tblsp cocoa powder
75gr melted butter
4 eggs

mix everything together (but make sure you don't tip the melted butter directly onto the eggs or they cook )

Spoon into muffin trays and bake for 15 - 20 mins at 180 C

makes about 8-10 and about 3 carbs each

They are stock std in our freezer...plus you can add other things in too...like berries.

or swap the cocoa and coconut for some nuts and mixed spice


Hope you like them

Thanks Lesley, that is just what I needed, I have copied down your recipe and will try it when next I hit the kitchen.

Ooops!

Just spotted a typo - should be 200gr of gound almonds sorry!

You might want to try Atkins banana nut muffins--they taste like the real deal and they are only a few grams per muffin. FYI you may want to make sure that you use a non-stick muffin pan and use muffin tin liners something about the ingredients (most likely the sugar sub. combined with the oil) leave this weird sticky residue in the bottom of the pan that is really hard to get out of a regular aluminum pan after being baked. That is their ONLY drawback (and that you can't stop eating them!). Good luck!
