reduced carb blueberry breakfast muffins

[andieangel]

I developed this recipe for my Mom who was diabetic. These are great for breakfast. They are not that big but fill you up and have enough of everything that you are not starving an hour later like regular muffins. I think it is because of the nuts and different flours. soy for protein and graham for fiber.

2/3c + 1/4c white flour
2/3c soy flour
2/3c graham flour
1/4c scant maple sugar (can use lt. brn sugar)*
2 packets sweet n low **
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/4 t cinnamon
3/4c chopped walnuts (can also use pecans)
1/3c soy oil
1 egg (beaten)
3/4c oatmeal
1c buttermilk
1 - 1 1/2c blueberries
splash vanilla

* if you want to use less sugar, substitue 1/8c sugar and 3 packets sweet n low
** can also use splenda or whatever. i am allergic to them so I use sweet n low

1. soak oatmeal in buttermilk for 30 min.
2. combine dry ingredients
3. add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients
4. add oil and egg. mix gently
5. add nuts and vanilla. mix gently
6. add blueberries. mix gently

spoon into greased muffin tins and bake 11 to 15 min at 425

word of warning - the batter tastes terrible because of the soy flour. I kinda panicked when I first made this recipe. The cooked muffin has no soy taste, at least that I can detect.

isn't agave what tequila is made from? I've never heard of it being used as a sweetener. I will have to look for it.

I take it that it is in liquid form?
