Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

Do you know how many carbs per muffin? Thanks.

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

well... it depends on what type of Sweetener you use... i like STEVIA which has No Calories and No Carbs... so for a Recipe with 12 Muffins... they should be about 1.15 Carbs per Muffin! not bad huh?

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

No, not bad at all. This is something I'm definitely going to try! Thanks for posting!

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

Thanks. I'm not so good at figuring out calories/carbs, etc. for recipes.

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

You can use www.fitday.com to work out the numbers for your specific cream cheese and sweetener etc.

1. Log on and go to an unused date so you have no other foods listed.
2. Add your ingredients (my cream cheese is a custom entry as it has fewer carbs than the 'generic' entry fitday uses) then copy the numbers down on paper or open a new window (ctrl N) so you can refer to the numbers shown.
3. Then start a new custom food entry and add the total numbers, calling it something like 'Promise's Cream Cheese Muffins' and making the quantity to read 12 servings.

Then you can add however many servings you eat and have the correct numbers for the actual ingredients you use.

BTW I also copy down the vitamins and minerals numbers (from the 'reports' section) into my custom food entries so it keeps my RDA numbers more accurate.

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

Am thinking of trying these tomorrow. Has anyone else made these and did they rise at all? Do you think adding some baking powder may suit them?
Thankyou

Hmmmmmmm... i never thought of adding a little Baking Powder... they DO rise in the oven and look very pretty when they get browned... but then when you take them out to cool, they fall... doesnt matter really tho, because they are lovely........... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

I made these..they are awsome. I made them into mini cupcakes. I will be making them for Thanksgiving, while others are eating their pie.

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

I did give these a go and halved the recipe and although I did add about 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, they didn't rise and I only got a half size muffin from each of my 6 cases.
Dunno about the US but here in the UK we have two sizes of muffins, small "fairy cake" cases and large "American muffin cases" I used the larger cases so next time I'll use the small ones instead.
Actually, I could make up some cream cheese frosting to fill the cases to the top, depending on how indulgent I'm feeling later...
They were very much like firm cheesecakes, especially using lemon extract.

I loved that they are so low carb too.
Thanks

Thank you for the recipe.

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

The mini cupcakes sound like a great idea. Myself and some of my girlfriends are going to make these so we can enjoy them before Black Friday shopping

Re: Cream Cheese Muffins!!!

Thanks for the idea! I'm going to make some tonight and add a little ground flax seed also! I'm looking for something that is near to induction friendly - just have a taste for something! LOL
