i've perfected my bran muffin recipe!

[bizzimom]

for anybody that needs the satisfaction of eating muffins...

LOW CARB BRAN MUFFINS

1/4 cup oil (i use canola)
1/2 cup splenda
1 egg
1/2 cup cream
3/4 cup water
1 cup soy flour (sifted to remove any lumps)
1 cup wheat bran
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

mix the oil, splenda, egg, cream and water together in a medium bowl. in a smaller bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients. add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix till well combined. drop into 12 "pammed" muffin tins and bake for 15-18 minutes at 400 degrees till golden brown.

i figure these are about 3.3 carbs per muffin... could probably be less if you used liquid splenda or davinci's syrup, but i've not tried this...

i usually double the batch and freeze them then just pull out what i need and nuke them for 15-20 seconds and slather on the butter!!! they're yummy, and satisfy the need for that "texture" in my mouth, plus they're great for breakfast when i don't feel like or have time for eggs... if i do double the batch, i'll add an a egg, plus sometimes i will use 3/4 part splenda and 1/4 part brown sugar twin...

enjoy!

sounds yummy! thank you for sharing. one question for you though, is soy flour the same as soy 'powder'? (i have the latter)

[bizzimom]

i have a feeling that soy powder is more like a soy protein powder. soy flour is just that, flour ground from soy... look around for the flour... i've never tried the protein powders, so i can't help with that... but i have used almond flour (ground almonds) in the same recipe. it's good too, but a bit more textured... but certainly yummy too...

Bizzimom, would your proportions of almond flour be the same as the soy flour?? I have been craving muffins, and I have almond flour in the freezer...

Thanks, Chris

[bizzimom]

same amount of almond flour... happy muffining!!!

I just made these this week and thought they were wonderful! Only problem is they are a bit crumbly. Does anyone have a suggestion for reducing that? These are sooo good, I had to freeze them so I would not eat all of them!!! Put some butter and sf jam on them, yum!!! (I also froze them so no one in my family would touch them! ) Thank you for the recipe!

Try under-cooking them. Sometimes ovens run hotter than the recipe calls for. I know mine does and I usually have to take a few minutes off recipe cooking times to have things come out right.
