    I received a few comments from people who had made my original recipe and felt it was dry and tasteless.  Ack!  Who wants that?  ☺

    Now that I've been making Trim Healthy Mama style foods for another year, I've learned a lot.  So...I've updated the recipe for you, and I think you'll enJOY it a lot more this time around!

Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookie Muffins

• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup almond milk or light coconut milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla
  
• 1/2 cup natural "no sugar added" peanut butter
• 1/2 cup golden flax meal
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp. THM Sweet Blend or 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener/Truvia/erythritol/xylitol
  
• 3/4 cup peanut flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 12 shakes (3 tiny holes opened in shaker) of pure stevia extract, or to taste
  

    Heat oven to 375° F.  Lightly grease 12 muffin tins with coconut oil or butter.  In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, melted butter, almond or coconut milk, vanilla, and peanut butter (or other nut butter); mix until smooth.  Add golden flax meal, coconut flour, sweeteners (THM Sweet Blend or Swerve or Truvia/erythritol/xylitol), peanut flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia.  Blend until batter contains no lumps.  Divide batter between 12 muffin cups.  Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with additional sweetener (not stevia), if desired.  Bake muffins for 14-17  minutes or until golden brown around the edges.  Cool in pan slightly; remove to serving plate.  If desired, split muffins in half and spread halves with a small pat of butter.  Makes 12 very filling, regular-sized muffins. 

    (Most people will only be able to eat 1-2 with a meal.  For Trim Healthy Mama followers, stick to one muffin.  This is an S snack or meal.)

    I enJOY the yummy, peanut buttery goodness of a warm peanut butter cookie!  Why not make a muffin with these delicious tastes all wrapped together in a delicious snack or a warm breakfast treat?

    These are very low-carb, and packed with protein, so you'll be glad you had one of these instead of a donut.  I guarantee it!  :)  Here's the recipe:
