South Beach Diet P1 Peanut Butter Muffins

Wow! These were great! I made a few adjustments: 1/2 C organic almond butter (instead of regular peanut butter), 1/4 C organic, natural apple sauce (instead of almonds), cottage cheese (instead of ricotta), and although not S.B. phase 1 friendly, I added 1/2 C fresh blackberries. Yum!! I will definitely make these again!

As SBD muffins go, these are very tasty and don't have the strong Splenda aftertaste of some. Very good. I will make these again. Note: I used "natural" peanut butter that was salt-free and the muffins were definately lacking salt. I will add 1/4tsp. salt next time.

Does this taste as good as a muffin made with flour and a ton of butter or oil? Not quite, but it's nearly as good and it is so much better for you and natural. I was shocked that all those ingredients created a fluffy-little muffin-like thing. If watching carbs or just wanting to incorporate more good fats into your diet, this is a great treat. If you follow the recipe properly and use the proper Splenda, then these won't be really sweet, which is okay by me. Might consider adding a few mini chocolate chips next time, and part of me is curious to see how some shredded zucchini or carrot might do. Keeper recipe, thanks.

When I made the first batch there wasn't any flavor just an ok muffin. After reading a few of the reviews I added cinnamon, nutmeg, increased sugar, added a banana, sub apple sauce for ground almonds and they were much better not on SB diet but the recipe works for my daughters gluten free diet.

They did satisfy my craving for bread but I thought the taste left a lot to be desired. So I recreated my own kind based off of the original recipe but instead I added 1/4C of shredded italian squash, added two packets of sweet n low for added sweetness, used pecans instead of almonds, added a couple dashes of cinnamon, and 1 and 1/2 tsp of vanilla. They came out tasty and moist and just sweet enough for me!!! Thanks for this recipe! Anyone can change it to suit their taste. Oh important to note that even with the original recipe, the peanut butter was hard to taste and once I recreated my own it was like I didn't even include it in my recipe even though I did lol.

Great muffins for the South Beach diet. I did a six muffin silicone pan sprayed with vegetable oil. My mom just asked me to make her a batch.

I tried this yesterday but without the flaxseed and almonds and they came out awesome. I thought they would implode once they cooled, but they maintained their shape. Let me make a suggestion, as I experimented today with a second batch.
1. Spray the muffin cups with PAM first.
2. I added a tbsp of Dark Cocoa powder - just 20 calories.

These muffins have a choc/peanut butter taste, a tad more thicker than the plain peanut butter.

Now if I can just eat these slowly. I shared my original batch with co-workers and everyone liked them. They couldn't believe that there was no flour. Thanks Giordana!

AWESOME!!! This recipe is great, I prepared exactly to the specifications listed. I used Smuckers reduced fat, natural-style PB. Very glad I found it too, cause I was getting tired of the same old mixed nuts for an afternoon snack. Definately better than celery and PB too!!

Let me just tell you, in Phase 1...I was craving a muffin more than anything and these saved my diet!! They are the best diet muffin I have found so far! Thanks so much!

I have to say, I was not looking forward to making these but I am at the begining of week two in the first phase and really needed something "bread" like. These were very yum and satisfied that craving. I will make these muffins quite often. I could not find ground almonds so I used sliced ones instead and it worked out fine. The texture reminded me of banana bread, so I may add bananas to them for the family but not for me! Thanks for this recipe!!! A

Easy muffins and a great texture considering how low carb (not spongy). But not very sweet (we used splenda granular) and they were a bit dry. I also felt it could have more peanut butter flavor. But certainly something worth experimenting with and great for my diabetic husband's diet. Also I should have greased the pan!

These were awesome. We just started the South Beach diet and we really wanted something "bread like". Thank you so much for posting this. It was really easy to make and very tasty... I didn't have mini muffin cups so I used a regular muffin pan and made 12 total.

These are amazing! I agree that you'd never know these don't contain flour. I added 1/2 the amount of Splenda, only because I had packets of Splenda and didn't want to use the entire box! They turned out perfectly - just sweet enough but not too much, and I left the flax slightly crunchy. Wonderful. I will definitely make again!

You would never know that there is not flour in these muffins. They're perfect for breakfast or a quick snack and are easy to transport to work. I make these often and LOVE them!

I was excited to see a muffin recipe on the south beach diet, but I have to say these were awful. I didn't find them to be sweet at all. They were one of the worst things I have ever eaten. I will stick to eggs for breakfast.

The only ingredient I didn't have was the almonds but I decided to try this recipe anyway. The only small complaint I would have is that they were a little too sweet, but that is easily remedied by using less splenda. Other than that they are very delicious. I'm just starting week 2 of phase 1, yet again:) and these are very good for the carb/bread craving.

Enjoy these very much. They help with the carb and sweet craving. These are very hearty, and satisfying. I used just a little less splenda than the what recipe calls for and it was still very good.
