Low Carb Muffins Recipe

I love these low-carb muffins simply because they are not only tasty but also incredibly versatile!
Add some stevia, and you’ve got a sweet muffin. Leave the stevia out and maybe add a little cheddar cheese and you’ve got delicious savory muffins! And what’s more… they are only about 3 carbs per muffin. But if you count net carbs, they are only about 1 carb per muffin!! Pretty good for such a scrumptious little muffin!
In fact, while these are good just the way they are, I’d actually consider this recipe more of a base. Use this to add in whatever you’d like to make any large variety of muffins! Here are some ideas:
Sweet
- Lemon
- Berry – (berries are the lowest carb fruit – think blueberry or strawberry)
- Cinnamon
- Pure liquid stevia
Savory
- Cheddar cheese & clean bacon (I use Wellshire Farms Paleo – No Sugar Bacon)
- Goat cheese and Fresh Rosemary
- Jalapeño Cheddar
- Garlic & Herbs
- Onion
There are TWO recipes below! Two different versions of this recipe depending on how you want to make it. So check them both out!

Notes
Nutrition
If your goal is to make this muffin recipe with lower fat and calories, then I recommend enjoying making the following adjustments. Note that while I used a banana for this, unsweetened apple sauce can also be used and is preferred if you want a savory muffin. Use the bananas for a sweet muffin base and the apple sauce for a savory muffin base.

can i make this into a loaf instead of individual muffins? how would this change the time/heat?
Jessica – You can try it, but I’m not sure how it will bake. You would have to experiment with it. I would bake it for the required time, and then check it every 5 minutes after that.
Not bad! Will make this again. I tried it with jalapeno and cheddar cheese because someone said it was more like a corn muffin. My turned out more like a muffin so next time I will make with blueberries. This is a keeper for me. Thanks.
Anne – My pleasure! I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 🙂
Where can I find the nutrition info?
Mandy – You would have to import the recipe into a recipe calculator. I highly recommend MyFitnessPal.com. They make it very easy. 🙂
LOL I forgot the applesauce/banana! They still turned out decent! I added some garlic, onion and cheese, aiming for those ridiculously good Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I need some sharper cheddar, but all in all, not bad! (and I won’t have the miserable side effects of wheat!)
Jessica – Yay!!! So happy they worked out! 😀
Just made it. Super easy and yummy! ED
ED – Fantastic! So happy you enjoyed them! 😀
