Zero Carb Muffins!

Submitted by Miraklegirl

"Adapted from a recipe I found on one of the South Beach diet sites. These muffins are really good and a real treat for no carbers. I like to put a little tomato paste and skim mozzarella on one for a mini pizza. Enjoy!"

Sorry, but I thought these were terrible. I tried making these 3 times, and they came out to be flat, limp, soggy, eggy frisbies. I don't know if I did something wrong all 3 times, but I would not recommend these. I'd rather eat paper...

I gave this recipe 3 stars only because the recipe has potential. Normally when I think of a muffin I think of a bread like substance....I should have gone with my get feeling about the ingredients that these weren't "muffins" these are egg mock muffins. I think you should change the title so others are informed of what this recipe really is. That said, I think the potential part is this: add bacon or sausage, mushrooms or whatever you like and make them into little breakfast omlette-like-muffins. Quick and easy in the morning. My husband ate 2 and I ate one and threw the rest away...sorry.

Love this recipe. Has made it many times since I've been on the South Beach Diet. Thank you, Miraklegirl, for sharing.

Good try! Mine fell flat, and didn't taste to great. Thanks for posting, I'm glad I tried them.

These were interesting. I have to agree with some of the other reviews that it wasn't exactly what I was expecting - more like a popover than a muffin. I would also err away from using these for savory dishes as they are slightly on the sweet side. Though there shape/taste, actually remind me a bit of those rice cake snacks! So perhaps toasted with some flavoring would make them a better treat. All in all an easy recipe and I'm glad you shared it!
