Recipe of the week: Pumpkin Muffins


As you know I really like pumpkin and still working with a low carb lifestyle I have a low carb pumpkin muffin that I want you to try. Here is what you will need:

2 cups Carbquick baking mix
2/3 cup Almond Milk
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Splenda
2 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 can pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Nutmeg
2 teaspoons Sage

Mix everything in a large bowl and set your oven at 400 (I used our toaster oven). Spray your muffin pan and fill 2/3 full with the mixture. Cook a good 20 minutes then check with a tooth pick. If the tooth pick comes out clean they are done, let cool on a plate and they don't need a thing on top, they are perfect just the way they are.

It comes out to 2 carbs for each regular sized muffin.  And boy are they moist!  Enjoy with some great pumpkin coffee made with pumpkin syrup and you one great breakfast.

  2. Joyce, I have to buy mine on line, I get it here - http://www.lindasdietdelites.com/
    They are in NJ and if I send in my order Wednesday, I will have it Friday. Great customer service, great foods. But I think in larger cities people find it at health food stores, no such luck up here in NH.

  4. I love pumpkin muffins ... I think maybe I'll try yours this weekend! Since I'm not doing low-carb, I wonder if I could substitute Bisquick?
