I was doing a web search for a good low carb muffin recipe. I tasted some in the HFS yesterday and the ingredients were fairly simple, but they wanted almost $5 for 3 muffins!

Anyway I found this one and though I would share it with you. NOT because it is low carb, although the title is Low Carb Muffins, but because it is SO funny!!

I don't understand it. I almost want to try to find this person and tell them how wrong this is!

Wow! Thanks Mike! I will email her. I think it is very wrong of her to list these muffins as low carb! I can't inagine anyone really eating a low carb diet wanting 1/2 cup of honey and raisins!

ROTF @ Jen,

I emailed her about it. I gave her the nutritional facts I got from Fitday.
I hope she removes the recipe.

This is the info.

Calories 4950 (412 per muffin if it makes 12 muffins)
Fat 355 Grams (30 per...)
Carbs 372 Grams (31 per...)
Protein 152 Grams (12 per...)

I don't think the amount of ingredients listed would make 12 muffins, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

seriously, if someone is going to make muffins with 1/2 cup honey and call them low carb, they might as well have the real thing flour and all. Some people.

Hey Jen! Nice new pic!
