We’ve been looking for different dessert ideas and this fits. We started making the basic “MiMs” when I started Atkins 7 years ago. Now living the lc lifestyle and keeping weight off, we still make them, but really need good changes. Thank you! I absolutely want to try the Pumpkin one.

You do have the muffin at 100 calories in your blog, but show the breakdown as 190.

Hello! Thank you for having this recipe! I wanted to let you know that I used ground chia seed instead of flax and it turned out great. I am kinda new on the Stevia thing. I just got some peppermint stevia (sweet leaf brand just like the one you linked to. Size and everything) so I was excited to use it! However, I used only half a dropper full twice because I thought it was a lot. And it was a little strong for me. Am I not doing something right?

In reply to Ella Schwartz. Using the link directly to the stevia I used, it needed 2 droppers full to sweeten to my liking. The brand I used is linked. Depending on your liquid stevia which some are stronger than others it will be less, that's why I linked to the one I use. You could use powdered pure extract, maybe 1/2 teaspoon or 2 packets if you have that.

In reply to edna. Hello. Looks delicious, but maybe study what microwaves do to a person. Dangerous to even have it plugged in. Mine is in the garage so my husband can plug it in and have his occasional bad pop corn.

I was looking for something *new* for breakfast and this came just at the right time. I had all the ingredients on hand so decided to give it a try (without the mint – mint is for toothpaste IMHO). Question, the recipe calls for 2 droppers full of Stevia. This seems like an awful lot of stevia. With my stevia dropper this would probably equate to 40-50 drops! So I wasn’t really sure if you meant 2 FULL droppers or 2 drops. I went with 2 drops when I made the recipe and it definitely could have used more sweetener. Can you clarify the amount of liquid stevia? I wonder if we could also use powdered Stevia or even Xylitol? Anyway, thanks for recipe. It’s a keeper! I definitely enjoyed it with a scoop of yogurt and my morning coffee!

I love this recipe. Didn’t have the stevia with peppermint so used 5 drops of liquid stevia with just the peppermint extract. It still tasted quite minty but not overpowering. I have tried quite a few quick flax muffins on the net but always come back to this site as both the peanut butter and this one are so moist and don’t taste like cardboard or overly salty. Thanks for sharing another fantastic recipe.

This looks great! If I don’t have liquid stevia, would powder work? If so, what would you recommend as the appropriate amount to equate to the 2 droppers of liquid?

GREAT recipe! I just love stevia to make healthy foods seem decadent:) Plus, fun little muffin cakes are just a must! Perfect portions, and they’re like a kid-friendly treat for adults:)

I love your website and have enjoyed many, many of your recipes! This looks super delish but it appears you have the nutritional stats incorrect. Just thought you may want to double check;)
