I never have used the Maple. I forgot the original recipe even called for it. I'm not all that crazy about Maple. I always use a Tablespoon or more of Vanilla, and a Tablespoon or 2 of cinnamon.

I keep forgetting about the coconut. I need to make a batch I may switch to coconut this next time for a change. Thanks for reminding me.

Got confuuuuusssdddd, with my posting????? Can't understand that.
Hey, I'm confused myself.

OK, I'll try to get "my" recipe together, and post it. Want it here, since this is part of that thread? Guess that's where I'll post it, then if somebody wants it in a seprerate thread I can do that.

OK, Here goes:

* Exported from MasterCook *

Flaxseed Muffins 3

Recipe By :Jenny on Stella low carb forum -- Adapted by Billie
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : breads muffins

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Tablespoons melted butter
3 Tablespoons oil -- (or enough mixed w/butter to make 1/3 cup)
3 large eggs
1/8 Cup cream
3 Tablespoons water -- sparkling or club soda (w/cream to make 1/3 cup )
1/8 teaspoon Sweetzfree -- -- equal to 1/2 cup Splenda Granular
2 Tablespoons vanilla flavoring, sugar free -- (original was 1 maple & 1 vanilla )
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 Teaspoon baking powder
3/4 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Cup Flax Seed meal
1 Tablespoon Resistant Starch
1/4 cup Oat Fiber -- optional (if you don't use, substitute with soy flour, or almond meal)
chopped walnuts -- (4 oz chopped) optional (Will also leave this out - BCW)

Preheat oven to 375F.

Beat first 3 ingredients together, then add Splenda and vanilla.
Mix the cinnamon and remaining ingredients and add to above.
Put into 12 paper cupcake liners in a muffin tin, or pan spray/oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes.

(Can double the recipe, and get about 18-20 good size muffins, filling the muffin cups about 3/4 full. Can fill the muffin tins to the top and get about 9 larger muffins. These are really good and have lots of fiber.
About 4 carbs per muffin but over 3 carbs fiber. Black walnuts, if you can get them, list 4 grams carbs but 2 grams fiber for the 4 oz....
Other flavorings to try: instead of maple flavor - use banana or pineapple. Unsweetened coconut also tastes great.
These freeze well.

Can also be made in the microwave. In a 1000 watt oven, 12 muffins take about 2 mins. and 10 seconds.)

I get about 1 carb per muffin with this recipe. If you use soy or almond that might change it a little.

If you don't have oat fiber, replace with soy flor or almond meal. You may want to go half & half with the oat & which ever of the other you use. I've alos done half oat fiber, and half Wheat Protein Islolate. (2 Tablespoons each) I don't add nuts to mine. And I can't eat Walnuts, so I never use them. You can of course add nuts of your choice if you choose. They will add at least a little to the nutritional count.
If you don't have the resistant starch, leave it out. No problem. I've made them with and without.

Thanks, Billie! I so appreciate the clarification. Since you have this in Mastercook, can you tell me a calorie count? I am really watching the calories so I dont get out of hand.

I also was thinking about adding ginger to make a gingerbread type muffin. Perhaps I could that with Rachels gingerbread. I find that the muffin gives me more portion control. Otherwise I am lying to myself about how much I eat!

Sure. Here is the nutritional info for the way I have it here.
If you want it for a little different, let me know & I'll run that. Such as with Almond or soy. If you use Granular Splenda it will definitely be a higher carb count.

I tried your recipe today, Billie, and they turned out great! I did sub 1 1/2 tsp ginger for the cinnamon. Not a strong taste. Think I will go back to the cinnamon next time. Did you mean 2 TABLESPOONS of cinnamon or 2 tsp.?? I was not certain about that.

I also used Whey Low gold since I had it. I think the maple would be good per jenny's original. May have to get some of that.

Thanks, Billie!

Glad they turned out well for ya Kay!

I personally use 2 Tablespoons of the cinnamon. But that would very possibly be too much for someone else. And I'm quiet sure it would be too much of some spices or flavorings. Don't think you would want 2 TBSP of ginger!

Seems it is hard to get some of the spices to really show up in this recipe.

I think I started out with 2 teaspoons or 1 Tablespoon.

When it cools back off, I've got to make another batch. I want to try to remember to try the coconut. Having a heat wave right now, too hot to heat up the oven. No A/C. Been thinking of trying them in the micro, but haven't gotten that brave yet. I do lots in the mirco, but baking usually hasn't worked out too well for me. But I have the little mini silicone muffin pans. Maybe I'll try it this week.

I agree with you about the flavors not showing up well. Wonder why that is? It definitely needed something more. Will try the cinnamon. I have used unsweetened coconut and it was really good. I love coconut!

Happy Baking , Billie!

Well, I tweaked the recipe again. I think I've got it!!!
I replaced 1/8 cup of the oat fiber (my recipe) with 1/8 cup of Jenna Marie's cake flour blend.

There are lighter, and have a better flavor than before. I think I've found the recipe I want to stick with. I may at times change the flavor, but really like this recipe.

For 12 of these I get 6 carbohydrates & 5 dietary fiber. 1 net carb.

Hey Billie,

Would you mind telling me what tweaks you use with this recipe for a savory muffin for your morning eggs? That is if you can remember. I see that your last post was about a year ago.

I think I'm going to try these today. They look so good and healthy!

Thanks in advance!
