CHOCOLATE COCONUT MUFFINS

1 cup flaxmeal (ground linseed) 
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (sometimes I put just a fraction more in)
3 tablespoons of oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup of Splenda
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3 teaspoons of vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of coconut meat 

Preheat oven to approx 150-160 mix together all ingredients. I put them in mini muffin tins by large teaspoonful (they don't rise much so I fill them to the top) I get 24 small muffins. Make sure that you thoroughly spray the muffin tins with spray. Bake approx 20 mins take out and cool. When I take them to work I cut them in half from the top down and sandwich them together with cream cheese. I think the carb count is approx 1 gram per muffin. but if anyone else can do the counts they are welcome.

CHEESECAKE MUFFINS


1 x 250 gram pottle of cream cheese
1/2 cup splenda
1 egg
75 grams of ground almonds
1/4 cup of sour cream
1 Tablespoon of Custard (I know custard is high in carbs but divided by 6 is not too bad)

Small amount of sugar free jam ( I found some jam at Foodtown which has no added sugar - 
Barkers Apricot Glory with only 5g of carbs and 1 g fibre per serve - it is really quite runny so goes a long way.)

1. Line bases of 6 muffin holes with paper (I just cut the bottom of some patty cases and used them for the bottom, they fitted just great. 
2. Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until just combined.
 Add egg, ground almonds, sour cream and custard powder, beating until smooth. 

Spoon into the prepared muffin holes and top with a smidgon of jam. 
( I used approx 1/4 teaspoon on each and spread it around on the top)

Bake at 180 for 20-25 mins or until set and golden. 
These came out great and taste so yummy, I figure approx 5-6 grams of carb per muffin.

PANCAKES

Here is a pancake recipe that I used today, please note that these are not really like 
normal Flour pancakes but taste really nice, they are pretty fragile and I use a small 
pancake maker To make them which you can flip over to do the other side, (saves breaking 
them with a spatula) I made 12 pikelets and one medium size pancake, they were fairly thin 
even with the baking powder But I was happy with the texture and taste.


2 eggs separated
1/2 pottle of cream cheese
1 tablespoon of Splenda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/3 cup of oat meal (ground oats)

can put cinnamon etc in as well but I made them plain

Have the cream cheese at room temp or nuke it to soften Beat the cream cheese, Splenda, 
egg yolks and oat meal together, Add the baking powder and leave to sit for a few minutes. 
(I do this To let the oat meal expand so its not too coarse)

Beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold into the mixture.

Fry over medium heat until brown turning once.
