Low Carb Lemon Muffins (Or Orange, Poppy Seed, Etc!)

"This is a great "mix it up with whatever you've got" recipe. I like lemon the best but it would work with orange as well (or orange cranberry), lime, or I guess even grapefruit (the whole citrus family). The carbs are relatively low too (if you aren't concerned, by all means, use sugar)! The batter seems like a stiff cookie dough before you mix in the egg whites, so don't let that throw you off. It works out and it's delicious!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it (whichever you prefer).
  • Seperate eggs. Place yolks aside until step 5.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff, and place aside until end.
  • Cream butter and splenda and/or sugar.
  • Add in yolks, beating well after each.
  • Zest lemon, then juice (don't let any seeds into the bowl!) and mix inches
  • Sift in flour, baking powder and salt. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  • Fold in the egg whites. It will seem impossible as first, but keep at it!
  • Drop (push) into muffin cups by heaping tablespoons full. Bake 15-20 minutes.
