Made these... yummy! Upped the baking powder by 1/2 tsp as recommended, plus sub'd 1/3 c of the almond flour for unsweetened vanilla whey protein powder.

They were fairly dense but not too rich.

The only problem was that I used mostly whole blueberries, and they basically sunk to the bottom, making the bottoms (I used muffin liners) very gooey. I smushed them slightly before mixing in but will probably chop them up instead next time.

These are AWESOME. I was so excited finally have something I I really liked!

I just pulled these out of the oven. OMGoodness!

I used:

1 Almond Flour
1/2 C vanilla whey protien powder
1/2 C flax meal
1 teas of lemon extract (did not use lemon juice)
EZ Sweetz, to equal the 3/4 cup of Splenda
Used frozen blueberries

everything else was the same as orig recipe. I used mixer instead of food processor.

My recipe made 12 muffins.
Total carbs: 29.59
Per muffin: 2.47

these are very good,a very big BUMP......

I have tweeked recipe again, just as good, lower carbs now than last week. Here is what I did.........................

1/2 cup almond flour (6 net carbs)
1/2 cup of flax meal (zero with fiber taken away)
1 cup whey protien powder, the one that I am using is zero carbs, not vanilla flavored or sweetened. The brand is MLO Sports Nutrition Super High Protein Powder. (ZERO CARBS)
25 drops of EZ Sweetz (ZERO CARBS)
1 teas lemon extract (ZERO CARBS, ACCORDING TO MY BOTTLE)
2 teas vanilla extract (my bottle is alcohol and sugar free and is zero carbs)
1 1/2 teas baking powder, alum free (zero carbs)
2 large eggs (less than 2 carbs)
Used 6 oz of cream cheese, 4 oz in the mix and 2 oz cut into cubes, 1 cube in center of each of the 12 muffins. (carbs are less than 6)
1 pinch of salt
4 tbs melted butter (zero carbs)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (2.4 carbs for my brand)
3/4 cup frozen blueberries (3.19 net carbs) Frozen seems to stay in place and not sink like fresh does.

No lemon juice used, save those carbs!

I had to add about 1/2 cup water as batter was thicker this time, I guess protien powder sucked up the moisture. Makes 12 really full muffins. This brought carbs to 1.6 instead of 2.47 from last week.

I doubled the recipe as everyone in the house loves these. I am going to try a mixed berry next time.

Ooh - I just made half the quantity (recipe in original post) into 12 mini muffins and used (partly defrosted) frozen raspberries instead of blueberries. They didn't rise a lot and next time I'll put more baking powder in but they are gorgeous! YUM

bump..........
