Ingredients: 3/4 cup Almond Flour/Meal
1 scoop of Vanilla Whey protein powder

1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup heavy cream

3 TB Coconut Oil, or softened butter
1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut (I sweetened with Splenda: see LindaSue's recipe for sweetening it)
1/2 cup pecans (optional)
How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 375. Oil muffin tins (12) with butter or coconut oil, or use paper liners.

Bake 15 or 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. These are moist so don't undercook.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Moist, DELICIOUS without icing!
Cons: Sticks to muffin paper

I had saved this recipe from a while back and decided to try it this weekend. My expectations weren't very high, because LC baked products are usually pretty insipid, but I was floored - these are great, even without the LC cream cheese frosting I had made automatically because I thought it would be needed. These stand on their own just fine, and are part of my TNT notebook now. Thank you, Dharma!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Moist, Just sweet enough, easy to make, delicious
Cons: None - sprayed muffin tins with nonstick spray and the muffins released easily

These muffins were fantastic - I made exactly per the recipe, using coconut oil, organic canned pumpkin, and unsweetened coconut. I baked them for 20 minutes. I was amazed at how moist and cakelike they were, the spice amounts are perfect, and my husband (who also eats low carb), loved them. An amazing recipe! Thanks Dharma, this is a keeper! Marie
