Recipe of the week: Morning Glory Muffin Squares

Carbquik is my new best friend.

I did make some changes and they are in the ( )

Morning Glory Muffin Squares

Streusel Topping:

1/2 cup Carbquik

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/3 cup Splenda (I used part Splenda and part Nevella)

2 Tbs. firm butter

Muffins:

2 cups Carbquik

1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1/4-1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup raisins (optional-I left this out)

2 Tbs. splenda or other sweetener

2/3 cup CarbCountdown milk (I did sub 1/3 cup heavy cream and 1/3 cup water)

2 Tbs. oil

1 egg

Instructions:

Heat oven to 375. In a small bowl mix the streusel ingredients, cutting in the butter, using fork until mixture it crumbly.

In a large bowl, stir 2 cups Carbquik, pumpkin pie spice, nuts, carrots, raisins (optional), and sweetener. Stir in milk, oil, and egg. Pour into ungreased 8 inch square pan. Sprinkle with streusel.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm. Makes 9 servings.

This gave us 9 large squares of yummy goodness.

Each square come out to 3.6 carbs each and they are pretty big, add some bacon to it and you have a really good low carb breakfast! Oh yes and did I tell you it was good!  Well it was, a bit of carrot flavor in it from the shredded carrots.  You can bet I'll be making this again and soon!
