  1. I really like the Atkins muffin mixes, especially bananna nut and corn muffins.
    Not only do they taste good, but they're easy to make. Just add eggs, oil and
    water. Unfortunately I have only 4 packages left.

    Now that Atkins has dropped this product are there any alternatives on the
    market. Or perhaps a homemade mix I could store in the freezer until I'm ready
    to add the wet ingredients and bake them?

    Dobie's Flax Seed Muffins (WCHLD)

    1/2 cup flax seeds (grind in coffee mill) 4.921 carbs (-fiber)
    1/4 cup protein powder (if using soy, check label) 0
    2 TBL oil (use something healthy...I use grapeseed)
    1/4 cup splenda (can substitute other sweetner, but splenda is the
    best)
    1 beaten egg .61
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 1/2 tsp banana extract (or flavor of choice)
    1/4 tsp salt substitute (gives added potassium)
    1 oz chopped nuts (optional, if used, add carbs)
    1/2 cup water

    Mix the above, let sit for a few minutes to thicken if necessary. Spoon
    into 6 non-stick (I spray with pam) muffin tins. Bake 25-30 minutes at
    350 degrees. They are just under 1 carb each. Remember flax seeds are
    also the highest source of omega oils (higher than fish) which is
    touted for preventing certain cancers and lowering cholesterol.

  3. Muffins aren't low carb.

    I like the Krusteaz CarbSimple mixes, blueberry and banana nut.
    Simple, just egg, water, and mix. I find them in most supermarts in
    the NW.

    The problem with Krusteaz, last time I checked, was that it had
    hydrogenated fats.

    And as I recall, they are pretty high in total carbs, containing sugar
    alcohols, and fairly high in net carbs too.
