Muffins to Slim By: Fast Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Bread & Muffin Recipes to Mix and Microwave in a Mug

The absolutely perfect answer to trying to cook something for breakfast for anyone on a low-carb diet, especially in a household where others aren't. I'm gluten-free too and fortunately I love to cook, so I have all the ingredients for most of these already. The flours or flour substitutes (almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal) aren't difficult to acquire - just buy them on Amazon if you don't want to pay outrageous prices in a health food store and can't find them in the grocery store. The other ingredients are things you probably already have around the house - eggs, sour cream, cheese, spices, baking powder, etc.The recipes I've tried have been quite satisfying (not to mention very tasty). The texture of those has been more spongy than muffin-like, the only thing that might turn off someone who was expecting a conventional muffin. But they make a satisfying breakfast that's ready in minutes and tastes good, with enough variations so there's no need to get bored with them for breakfast - though I tend to stick to the big cheese muffin that fills a 10-oz Pyrex baking dish. And for the mornings when one of these muffins is not enough, I spread it with butter and peanut or almond butter. Yum.There is also a hamburger bun recipe that makes two and takes only 1 minute each in the microwave - the first decent gluten-free hamburger bun recipe I've found that actually tastes good. And making only 2 is perfect when no one else is gluten-free. I've been using the buns for sandwiches too, a nice low-carb alernative to bread or wraps. That recipe alone is worth the price of the book.

These is a very informative book and laid out nicely. Easy to make and great attention to detail.

Yes, I LOVE this book. My husband must eat gluten free and I am a low carber for health reasons but we both miss bready things, both sweet and savory. This book takes care of it all, and the 5 recipes I have tried are super, although they ALL look delicious. ( I have made up the larger basic mix recipes and they make muffin prep even easier and faster--and, yes, I had to order a few "specialty ingredients" from Amazon because we live in a rural area--not cheap, but a whole lot better than doing without some favorite foods or eating crap and suffering the health consequences--and probably cheaper.in the long run anyhow. )But YESTERDAY, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Our Plates- -I was cleaning out the back of an"unexplored for years" kitchen cabinet and found one of those funny old GT101 Xpress things. And I thought: hmmm...I just wonder what would happen IF....so I mixed up a coconut cream muffin and heated up the GT101 and poured the batter into the two little wells. After 3 minutes I checked and the bottom was a beautiful crispy golden-brown. turned it and cooked for another 3 minutes. Cut into it--OH, HEAVEN! Did the same thing this morning to the cheese and bacon one and it was equally good. and the texture when you cut into them was VERY close to real bread. Umm hmmm, requires more time than the usual OMM, in the microwave,but comes out not at all like any "usual anything.""There are genius ideas in this book and all are quick and easy to do. Would be high on my list to be "shipwrecked with." If they had 10 stars, that is what I would give this book! I am off now to order some of the author's other books.

I was recently diagnosed as diabetic and stumbled across this book searching Amazon for a something else. The rave reviews for this book caught my attention and I figured it was worth a try. The results far exceeded my expectations!The recipes take no time to make, there are bulk mixes you can prep in advance, they are VERY friendly to diabetics, and taste great!! I have tried around a dozen recipes and ALL of them I would do again. ALL in the microwave for single and/or double servings, and all under 30 carbs. Even if I were not diabetic, I would still happily eat all of these recipes, and often. Best cookbook I will probably ever own. And 5 - 10 minutes to make from start to finish!Lastly, these are not just deserts, but several kinds of great breads. The recipe on page 114 is PERFECT sandwich bread! I just leave out the meat and cheese and the 'Muffin Dog' becomes healthy serving of bread that is tastier than the wheat bread I used to buy. I just cook it in a flat glass dish 5" wide and cut the thick bread into two slices for only 10 carbs! I wish I had found this book sooner!

I bought this cook book because I am doing the low Carb diet. I have tried two of the recipes and they are really good. I would recommend this cook book to any one who wants to lose wait or wants to eat healthier. It is easy to use I love how the cook book was written . This cook book is fast and easy recipes for anyone on the go.

Em Elless is a very clever woman! I didn't start using it immediately, but took quite a time to study the recipes. But they really do work. Both my husband and I are type two diabetics. He was having a difficult time staying within bounds. I think he really did not believe that not eating bread would help, so I insisted on the muffins. Hey Presto! after a week of trying various flavours and types, his glucose was really reasonable in the mornings and most of the day. I even gave the details of the book to his nutritionist, who was pretty well impressed! So, I now make a batch of about three times the recipe of the Mix No. 1 and keep it in an air tight jar in the fridge. Since I also have my own grated cheese available, a good protein breakfast is about 3-4 minutes away.

Recetas rápidas de muffins low carb para hacer en una taza en microondas. Sólo con esto para mi merecia la pena curiosear el libro. Esta bin porque te da un par de mixes para tener preparados y luego tienes ideas dulces y saladas. Libro sencillo y sin fotos pero interesante.

This is a great book if you are trying to keep the carbs down but want a cake. They are quite dense but this is how I prefer cake / muffins anyway. They take 5mins to mix and cook.if you are allergic to eggs then this isn't for you as they all need an egg. I also bulk bought the ingredients from amazon as much cheaper than the supermarket

Die Autorin präsentiert in diesem Buch eine Fülle von Rezepten für die Mikrowelle. Die meisten Rezepte sind einfach nachzu"backen" und schmackhaft. Vor allem die herzhaften.Allerdings schießt sie mir ihrem Fruchtersatz, meiner Meinung nach übers Ziel hinaus. Ich ernähre mich zwar kohlehydratarm, bin allerdings auch strenger Verfechter von natürlichen Lebensmitteln und der Sinn einen Apfel mit einer nach künstlichem Apfel schmeckenden Aubergine erschließt sich mir nur, wenn man von einem Apfelallergiker ausgeht, ansonsten ist schon vom Nährwert her ein Apfel vorzuziehen. ( Das ist auch mein Hauptkritikpunkt und der Grund warum es nur 4 Sterne gibt)Ansonsten wäre es evtl. noch schön gewesen Bilder hinzuzufügen, aber auch ohne dieselben ist es ein interessantes Werk und weiter zu empfehlen.

Only tried a few of the recipes so far but they work. As a single I appreciate being able to make what I need when I need it in the quantity in which I want it. I especially like being able to use the microwave oven to make things quickly.
