[MAD] Low Carb Flax Seed Muffins

[RobinN]

6 T butter - melted
3 large eggs
¼ cup whipping cream (or half and half)
Beat these 3 ingredients together, and then add:
½ cup Splenda (artificial sweetener)
1 T maple flavoring
1 T vanilla
Mix the following together and add to the above:
2 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
½ rounded t baking powder
½ rounded t baking soda
1 cup ground flaxseeds
¼ cup soy flour or Atkin's Bake Mix
4 oz black walnuts, chopped (optional)
Put into 12 paper cupcake liners in a muffin tin and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You can also double the recipe and get 18-20 larger size muffins.
These have been recommended as "very good with lots of fiber". About 4 carb per muffin but over 3 is in the form of fiber. Other flavorings have been tried - banana, pineapple or unsweetened coconut also taste great. These muffins freeze well, too.

These can also be made in the microwave. In a 1000 watt microwave, 12 muffins take about 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

They sound good but I don't bake often so I want to double check, does T=tbsp. (tablespoon) & t=tsp. (teaspoon)?

Eric, you've got it right (T = tablespoon, t= teaspoon)

I'd just like to point out that it's important to use ground flax seed as called for in the recipe and not whole flax seed. Flax seed needs to be ground in order for the body to digest it properly.
