Low+Carb+Muffins


 * Low Carb Muffins**



My husband and I try most days to subscribe to a low carb diet (with an occasional digression when we go to [|Blue Mountain Brewery] for their delicious pizza). A version of this recipe originated from one of the [|George Stella] cookbooks, but I've doubled it and adjusted the amount of some ingredients, which you may want to play around with as well.

Ground 1 pound whole raw almonds in blender or food processor Beat 4-5 eggs Combine with: Once you've mixed everything together, throw in nuts, berries (my current favorite combination includes walnut pieces, cranberries, and blueberries). Put in regular sized muffin pan (should make 12) and bake at 350-375 for 25-30 minutes. Voila. Dense, filling, and keeps the bread cravings at bay.
