MUFFIN RECIPE MODIFIED- YUMMIER!!

Most definitely and still low carb.. Here is the recipe I posted last


1.5 NET CARB PER MUFFIN YAY!!!

I GOT THIS RECIPE FROM ADRIENNE LAROQUE SUITE 101 AND DECIDED TO TRY IT. TURNS OUT MOIST AND YUMMY AND 1.5 NET CARBS HELLO?
Low Carb Chocolate Hazelnut Muffins Contain No Sugar or Wheat -
If you're looking for a healthy treat that's bursting with chocolate flavor, this recipe does the trick. Kids love it!
Many people have recognized the health benefits of limiting gluten and carbohydrate in their diets, but sometimes they miss the treats they used to eat. Luckily, it’s possible to have your muffin and eat it too! This recipe is sugar free, grain free, gluten free and very low carb, so you needn’t worry about indulging.

Recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup hazelnut MEAL/FLOUR= .25 CUP = 2 NET CARBS X 4 = 8 NET CARBS ( TOT 740 CAL)
  • ½ cup flax seed meal = 2 TBSP = 4 G CARB W 4 G FIBER WITH 1 SOLUBLE FIBER SO 1 NET CARB 8 TBSP = 1/2 CUP = 8 NET CARBS - (TOT CAL 480)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 0 CARB CHANGED THIS TO 1/4 CUP INSTEAD
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour IF YOU MUST INCLUDE IT IS 5 GRAMS FOR 1 TBSP- 60 CAL
  • ½ cup melted butter (salted) 0 CARB 1/2 CUP 4 OZ = (800 CAL)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature 0 CARB
  • ½ tbsp baking powder 0
  • ½ tsp xanthan 0
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon
  • 3-4 tbsp Truvia ™ brand low carb sweetener 4 net carb  (one packet of Stevia is one net carb) - CHANGED THIS TO 1 AND 3/4 TABLESPOON I USED LIQUID STEVIA - " ENGLISH TOFFEE " flavor (LOWERS THE NET CARB BY 2 POINTS)
  • 1/3 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  1. Place muffin liners in a muffin tin.
  2. Combine dry ingredients except sweetener (flours, flax seed meal, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan, salt and cinnamon) in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
  3. Beat eggs until fluffy. Add melted butter, water and Truvia ™. Beat until thoroughly combined.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
  5. Use a tablespoon or serving spoon to distribute batter amongst individual muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin and removed comes out clean.
20 TOTAL NET CARB = DIVIDE BY 12 = 1.66 NET CARB A MUFF
2080 TOTAL CALORIE - DIVIDE BY 12 = 173 A MUFF NOT BAD AT ALL
MUCH BETTER RECIPE ( I FEEL PERFECT NOW WITH THE REVISIONS , ITS MOIST AND NOT TOO SWEET NOR BITTER) THE FIRST ONE WAS A BIT BITTER. TOO MUCH UNSWEETENED COCOA AND STEVIA.

TODAY I MIXED LEFTOVER MUFFS CRUMBS FROM MY MUFFINS TRAY AND PLACE THEM ON 1/2 OF ARTIC ZERO VANILLA MUFFIN. OMG!!!

I ASKED MYSELF , IS THIS REALLY LOW CARB ITS WAY TO ODELICIOUS. BUT THE LABELS ARE CLEAR,. SO I BELIEVE..
