Despite their small size, these muffins pack a wallop of a punch in the flavor department. They melt in your mouth and are incredibly moist. If you leave the oat fiber out, these would even be gluten free, for those following a GF eating plan. Omitting that oat fiber shouldn’t impact the texture too much, [...]

Blue-Glu Muffins
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Muffins on February 21, 2012 | 12 Comments »
I’m trying to incorporate some glucomannan (Konjac) powder into my daily food intake for the added fiber. I decided to try a new blueberry muffin recipe today and added a little. These came out amazingly light and fluffy with a nice “mouth feel”. I will continue adding a bit of this powder to baked goods. [...]
Blackberry Flax Muffins
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Muffins, Sweet Breads, SWEETS on January 14, 2012 | 12 Comments »
Blackberries are plentiful in the local stores lately and coming down in price where I am, so I bought a carton yesterday and made these delightful treats today. They were very good and are a pleasant change from the strawberry and blueberry muffins I usually make. These could also be made with raspberries or even [...]
Individual Lemon Cake
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Cakes, Muffins, SWEETS on August 26, 2011 | 10 Comments »
I don’t like having cake leftover offering repeated temptations, so I’m developing individual versions that just serve one person (or 2) so when it’s gone, it’s gone. I like this served warm with butter for breakfast, or iced for dessert. When doing citrus desserts, rather than extacts, I like to use Boyajian Citrus Oils. [...]
Sausage Cheese Biscuits
Posted in Biscuits, BREAD, BREAKFAST FOODS, Muffins on August 6, 2011 | 8 Comments »
This is a modification of a cheese biscuit recipe of DavidK over on Active Low Carber Forums. These came out really tasty, light, nice texture, browned nicely on the bottoms and were NOT crumbly. I’ll definitely be making this version again. If you tolerate whey protein, this is certainly OK for Induction if you can [...]
Peggy’s English Muffin
Posted in BREAD, BREAKFAST FOODS, Loaf, Slice, Rolls, Muffins on July 23, 2011 | 17 Comments »
This is inspired by a bread recipe over at Lifezone: http://www.lifezone.se/2011/07/12/en/easy-filling-and-fatty-lchf-bread-breakfast-3354587 But I turned it into an English Muffin. This muffin doesn’t have the elasticity of the traditional English muffin. But it sure toasted nicely and psychologically I felt like I was having an English muffin. Flavor was nice, especially with jam. I tried to [...]
Strawberry Almond Muffins

Click pic to enlarge This is an adaptation of a cake doughnut recipe by a low carber named StarAngel. The resulting fruity muffin was truly delightful! This recipe is not suitable until the berry rung of OWL. That said, those still at the nuts and seeds rung could eliminate the berries, add in some cinnamon [...]
Blueberry Muffins

Click pic to enlarge I had some freeze-dried blueberries to use up in my pantry so I tried my hand at a blueberry muffin for breakfast today. Originally, I did this as a loaf bread, but it rose so little, I decided to switch to a muffin so they would look nicer. They had [...]

Click pic to enlarge My husband asked for an apple cake last night, and I modified the Muffin in a Minute recipe to come up with a quick cake for him. With my last apple in the house, I came up with a tasty result I share below. This recipe is not suitable for Induction [...]

Click pic to enlarge By tinkering around with the MIM (Muffin in a Minute) recipe that is so well-known to low carbers, I came up with a mini pumpkin bread that is much improved in texture, flavor and moistness over my previous pumpkin bread experiments. Smearing it with my Lime Frosting is fantastic! [...]
Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffin

This is my latest variation on the low-carber’s famed MIM (Muffin in a Minute). Wanted to try strawberry, but didn’t have any in the house. Then I remembered some freeze-dried strawberries I had and decided to give it a try. Also added some oat fiber as an experiment and it really made for a nice [...]
Berry Muffins

Still on my journey to that versatile, “perfect” basic muffin batter recipe. This experiment along the way came out pretty good and thought I’d share. I used blueberries, but you could use strawberries or raspberries just as easily. Nutritional stats below are for the blueberry version. Not OK for Induction. Click pic to enlarge INGREDIENTS: [...]
Banana Oat Muffin

Click pic to enlarge Best low-carb muffin I’ve made to date! Very light! I’m trying to introduce a few oats to my diet for some specific health needs and decided to try a bit in my MIM today. And since I had a banana getting overripe, I decided to add a bit of that, too, [...]
Cranberry Nut Muffins

Click pic to enlarge I came across a recipe on About.com that I modified and the result got a thumbs up from hubby and myself alike. Texture was quite nice, light and the flavor was good also. Original recipe used ALL flax and no CarbQuick, so if still on induction, you could just not use [...]
