Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: flavor, texture Cons: too many carbs in corn and blueberry mixes Cranberry orange, lemon poppyseed and banana nut are excellent. Few carbs, great taste! Assbegone! Senior LCF Member Registered: August 2002 Location: Upstate NY Posts: 862 Review Date: Mon December 1, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Tastes great, convienient and pretty carb friendly. Cons: Price We loved the Lemon and Banana Nut versions, the Cranberry wasn't one of our favorites. I passed on the Corn Muffin and Bluberry ones since there were too many carbs for us. The muffins raised beautifully, look great, smell great and are very satisfying. Don't overcook the muffins or they will be very dry. Bake according to directions and remove from oven promptly. jenniferg Senior LCF Member Registered: May 2003 Location: Atlanta, GA Posts: 185 Review Date: Tue December 2, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: tasty, good muffin texture Cons: expensive, slight soy aftertaste The lemon poppy was my favorite. I also like the banana nut. Cranberry seemed to have more of an aftertaste but it was ok. SouthernLady1 MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: September 2003 Posts: 1886 Review Date: Sat December 6, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Pros: Cons: I've tried the blueberry, banana nut, and cornbread. They were OK. Not a favorite but something good to have every now & then. CarolynC Junior LCF Member Registered: October 2002 Location: Alabama, USA Posts: 28 Review Date: Sat December 6, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: I love all of the Atkins muffin mixes except the Chocolate Chip. I wish that the blueberry hadn't been revamped (and raised the carb count), but it's still good for an occasional muffin. My favorites are probably the lemon poppy and the banana nut. SpicyBC MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: July 2002 Location: Aggieland, TX Posts: 1109 Review Date: Sun December 7, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Cons: Banana nut muffins were lower in carbs, but has a very distinct fake "soylike" aftertaste that I did not like. Corn muffins were excellent at Thanksgiving---even my non low-carbing friends ate them up! They're a bit too high in carbs for everyday use, but make a great addition to any special occasion meal. bab_indy MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: December 2003 Location: Bay Area, CA Posts: 2570 Review Date: Thu December 18, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 6    Pros: taste, texture, raise well Cons: high count on "premium" mixes These are all pretty good. I also tend to shy away from the higher count ones. But my 10yo son likes the corn ones and he normally hates my low carb options. I liked the cranberry and banana nut but I'm frequently told by my family that my taste buds are "off" from many years of dieting. TexasMel Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 6 Review Date: Thu January 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: decent muffin substitute, low carbs (except corn) Cons: price, texture is slightly "funky" I found these to be an acceptable substitute for muffins, though if I were not low-carbing, I'd prefer Betty Crocker! I like to add half a can of mild chile peppers and a handful of mexican shredded cheese to the corn ones. Very tasty with a bowl of chili! Doreen Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 125 Review Date: Thu January 15, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: I really liked the banana-nut muffins Cons: none I liked the orange-cranberry,but whn I made the banana nut,they were my favorite.I think they also keep well in the fridge.Since I'm the only one eating them---the mix makes 12 muffins---and I usually have 2 for breackfast,I have almost a weeks worth of breakfast.So even at almost $5.a dozen its still a bargin.A very inexpensive,fast and tasty breafast. janross53 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 3 Review Date: Fri January 16, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: Good texture; delicious taste. Cons: High carbs. I tried the Atkins lemon poppyseed muffins first and did not care for the taste - too strange; I guess it was the soy taste. But the chocolate chip muffins are delicious. Slather one with butter and it is chocolaty and wonderful. Only drawback is that they are pretty high in carbs - so have just one with eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast for a taste of something sweet.

Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: taste, texture Cons: high price I bought the Banana Nut mix and made a nice loaf of bread. It rose nicely, had a good texture, and a very nice taste. My husband and I both loved it. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. hpellot Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Mon February 2, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 7    Pros: Taste Good Cons: I tried the Lemon Poppy it taste good a little light on the lemon taste but there fluffy and not bad at all. Kitsa Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Ohio Posts: 311 Review Date: Thu February 12, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.75 | Rating: 8    Pros: Easy to make, freeze well, good if you're starved for breads Cons: Some mixes taste a bit odd. Can be dry and grainy. I have tried the Cranberry, Banana Nut, Blueberry, Corn and Chocolate Chocolate Chip formulas. I really liked Banana Nut. You're not going to be fooled into thinking it's grandma's recipe, but it's tolerable. Try it warm with a little Smart Squeeze. The Blueberry gave me digestive problems. Could have been coincidental, I don't know. I haven't tried it again. I like the Cranberry Orange a lot, but then I'm a cranberry junkie and I was mourning the loss of cranberry-orange scones. The corn is great, although high in carbs. I make a loaf, slice it, and freeze the slices. Then I have one slice with a bowl of low-carb chili. Sometimes the artificial sweetener is a bit noticeable. Ah, and last but definitely not edible, the Chocolate Chocolate Chip. When I tasted this for the first time, I thought it was the horrid byproduct of government experimentation with weaponized Vile Brown Goo. You can REALLY taste the soy-flour in this, and it will NOT pass muster for the hardcore chocolate aficionado. You'd be better off with one of the low-carb chocolate bars. I have a package of atkins brownie mix in the pantry, but I'm frightened. blackhawk Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2003 Location: Chicago Posts: 17 Review Date: Fri February 13, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 10    Pros: Texture, flavor, filling Cons: Price After gagging on the Atkins bake mix I was a bit leary to try any other Atkins baking products. After reading the reviews I gave it a shot. I tried the lemon poppy seed muffins as per advised. Boy were they fantastic. They smelled great cooking and I tried one while still hot with some butter. Man I thought I died and went to heaven. It could be that I haven't had a muffin in almost 7 months, but they tasted like bakery to me. I highly recommend this product. Robinrs Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 76 Review Date: Mon February 23, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Good taste Cons: Price The Banana Nut is a treat I give the family twice a month. A good friend sent me my first pack and it's been a staple since! Robinrs Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 76 Review Date: Wed February 25, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 0    Pros: Added Endulge bar pieces, really good taste Cons: 6 carb per muffin good for a treat Tried the chocolate chocolate chip today. Read on another board that if you add a chopped up Endulge bar into the mix it will taste more chocolate-y. Since I am all for that I did and they were moist and great. Soo good for a chocolate treat! neworleanskitty Blabbermouth!!! Registered: November 2003 Posts: 7339 Review Date: Wed April 14, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Cons: OK, the breads are very good for low-carb bread. I've had the poppyseed, cranberry, and banana nut. Now, the breads are rather light and airy, and seem to crumble a little easy. That said, the only thing that bugged me in the beginning (I got over it) was how light the flavors are. Don't expect the banana bread to be "in your face banana." I like to think of it as sweetened bread with a hint of banana. It's a nice change of pace for breakfast. Kariann71 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Michigan Posts: 54 Review Date: Thu June 3, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: The corn muffins were disgusting. I couldn't even eat them when they were covered with chili. I think I'll try the Carbsense ones next time. collrob2101 Big Yapper!!!! Registered: January 2004 Location: Somewhere over the rainbow Posts: 7883 Review Date: Thu June 24, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Yummy treat Cons: cost I tried both the Banana Bread Mix and Chocochip Muffix Mix. I loved both of them. If you are not used to the taste of a low carb product then these will taste lucky to you. When I first started low carbing I HATED any low carb products. I think its because my body was craving the sugar I consumed each day. I love these so much!!! AussieMom Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2004 Location: Fall River, Wisconsin Posts: 11 Review Date: Mon July 26, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: Great texture, nice subtle flavor Cons: Really stuck to the cupcake liners I really like these. I tried the banana nut, and agree that you shouldn't expect a stong "taste like grandma's" banana bread, but I thought they were really tasty and had a great texture and made me feel like I was having a real bakery treat. I made 1/2 a batch of muffins and could have eaten them all if I wouldn't have put them away right away!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: very low carb & good taste Cons: expensive I tried the Banana Nut muffins which tasted great. They were 2 carbs per muffin & made 12 muffins out of the bag.

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: Tasty Cons: Price; portion control I've only tasted the banana muffin mix. It was very good, although quite a bit stuck to the muffin cups I used. They were good for a quick breakfast, but were expensive. omeara Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Maryland Posts: 212 Review Date: Fri September 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product?

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Blueberry tastes great Cons: The blueberry were very good and I liked them both hot with butter on it, and cold with cream cheese. It helps me get through a bread craving. I want to try it in my waffle maker when I don't feel like warming up the oven. Not2BaBeachballBride Senior LCF Member Registered: August 2004 Location: The Armpit of the USA Posts: 565 Review Date: Sun December 12, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $1.25 | Rating: 8    Pros: Pretty good ... satisfies a need for bread Cons: A little higher in carbs for the taste Blueberry Muffins - 8 Corn Muffins - 7 Chocolate chip - 7 These are pretty good ... and the mixes make a dozen good-sized muffins. I bake several batches at a time and then freeze in individual portion sizes. The corn muffins are good with eggs for breakfast or with chili or taco fixings. The blueberry are great for a quick breakfast on the run or when I go to starbucks with carbmonster friends. The chocolate chip isn't nearly as good, but makes a great dessert if you put low carb icecream on top. Tippy Toes Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Registered: April 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 4198 Review Date: Thu January 27, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: it's muffins Cons: needed more flavor so I tweaked it up... The Apple/Cinnamen is not bad but tasted better when I added 4 tbls of Atkin's Hazelnut 0 carb syrup along with a handful of chopped walnuts. They do not stay fresh long so I tried freezing them this time. For 99 cents I guess it is OK to throw some away but freezing seemed worth a try! chicketychun Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2005 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 141 Review Date: Sun February 20, 2005 Would you recommend the product?
