Reviews
- I made these cornbread muffins to add to my low carb dressing at Thanksgiving, the texture was lovely. I decided to try them as a sweet muffin. I added 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp lemon extracts , I also used 1 egg substitute and 1 whole egg, 8drops of liquid splenda and only 1 tablespoon melted butter. These are my new favorite sweet muffin. I may decrease the water a bit season them up like a hush puppy and fry some. Lots of potential with this recipe. Thanks for the great recipe.
- This was one of the better low carb recipes i've tried. Had a muffin texture and did not have an off taste like so many substitutions have. I even thinned it out with a little water and made pancakes out of the batter which even my picky husband enjoyed. Great recipe.
- This is one of the better low carb breads that I've tried, but after reading the reviews I knew I needed to tweek this recipe. Being from Georgia, I needed cornbread to taste like cornbread for my squash casserole and cabbage with smoked neck bones. I didn't want an inspiration muffin with our meal lol. So I used 1/4 cup cornmeal and 3/4 almond flour instead. That made it taste similar to cornbread but boosted the carbs up to 5 per serving. Which I don't mind. The next time I make these I will keep the change but do 1 egg and 2 whites because I noticed a slight egg taste. I will also use bacon grease instead of butter. That should do the trick for the way I'm use to how cornbread tastes. Thanks for the base recipe. GOD bless y'all.
- I tried this recipe yesterday and I was impressed. It tasted more like a multi-grain muffin than cornbread but it is definately a great base recipe with endless flavor possibilities!
- This is a must have recipe for anyone who is low carbing. I got 6 smallish muffins. As they are they are an excellent breakfast, but while eating them my mind was reeling with possibilities! A little more splenda and a handful of blueberries, or a little cocoa powder would make them a delicious dessert or snack muffin to have on hand in the fridge. I can't wait to experiment with this recipe.
