I am a sweet tooth so you may find you only need 1. I have so many 1/2 packets of splenda in my cupboard

Could you use sugar in the recipe? I can’t use fake sweeteners unless I want a migraine, but these recipes sound great…

Broady, you are sooo creative! You should make a FitGirl Cookbook and sell it in the boutique

Hot for teach- the recipe would still work fine with sugar but it would just mean it wast low carb anymore. Have you tried different types of sweetner eg stevia, splenda etc. You could also try the recipe without any sweetner and see how you like it or use 1 tsp low sugar jam as a replacement.Hope that helps

Sondra- I get my coconut oil from the local health food shop. I buy the organic one so its a little costlier but it lasts for ages. Its a solid at room temp and then becomes a liquid when its heated.

These sound wonderful! A few days ago, I mixed 1 scoop of protein powder with a half cup of nonfat yogurt, and it was the exact consistency of frosting. I am going to try it out on these muffins.

firespinner thats a great idea for icing, what flavor pp did you use?
broady says:

August 23, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Epona – you could try baking in a moderate oven. I have never done it myself. If you try it would like to know how it turns out

Woohoo I so need to make these tonight. On those macros most of that should be fiber due to the flax. What 1 or 2 is not net from Coco and splenda?
Looks super yum!

One of the nicest (and quickest) chocolatey treats!!! I added 1 square of 99% chocolate in the centre of the mixture before cooking for a gooey, bitter chocolate centre

Just thought I’d let you know that I modified the recipe a little bit further by adding a small amount of natural crunchy peanut butter to the middle, along with the bitter dark chocolate…truly scrummy!!! And if you put it in a cup-cake and bake it for 10 minutes it turns out a little more moist than when cooked in the microwave…either way YUM!!
