Oh wow!! I never would have thought. I love these muffins, now I have to try them with the peanut butter. Or my more favorite--almond butter. Yum!!!

Heheher · 07-18-2012, 04:53 PM

They are out of the oven. Look good. Cooling and then I will chill them and try them for breakfast maybe.

I have made many flavors but don't remember ever adding pb! Yum! However, it has been too hot to turn on the oven so I will have to wait for a cool spell to try them!

Can't live without my cream cheese muffins so I make half a batch and put them in my six-cup silicone muffin pan and microwave for 6 minutes. Made some today with almond butter, yum! Jen's microwave brownies are also wonderful in the summertime.

Just made these tonight..very good. Nice change to the original, going to put cool whip on them next time, love that stuff. Makes everything better!!!!

Hi,

I've been making the peanut butter cheesecake muffins for a while now and kept thinking there had to be a way to make them just a little bit better. Well, I think I've finally perfected the recipe and wanted to share it with fellow "low-carbers".

Ingredients

2 packages of cream cheese
1/2 cup of Spenda
1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Splash of vanilla
Dash of kosher salt

Beat heavy cream until it's thick and creamy. Not quite as stiff as whipped cream but has some added volume to it. Add all other ingredients and beat until smooth. Scoop into papered muffin tins. This recipe makes 14 good size muffins. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Pull and let cool completely before handling. Refrigerate and enjoy!

I found that the texture is less "eggy" than the original and the paper peels from the muffins easier too, leaving a more intact end product. I know the cream adds some additional carbs but you also get more muffins out of the batch. For an added treat put a spoonful of frozen cool whip on the muffin, it's out of this world.
