BLUEBERRY SOUR CREAM MUFFINS WITH CREAMY LEMON GLAZE

 




BLUEBERRY SOUR CREAM MUFFINS WITH CREAMY LEMON GLAZE

Delicious muffins chock-full of juicy blueberries! The delicious Creamy Lemon Glaze takes these blueberry muffins to another level of yum!  You cannot tell that they are low-carb.  Follow instructions for the Keto Bake Mix ( you need a little more), but it is a cup-for-cup substitute for the Grain-Free Bake Mix.  All of the bake mixes will produce nice results. 

 My preference is for the Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, and I always have some sitting in my pantry in a sealed plastic container.  I make up 3x the amount, so that I don't have to constantly be putting it together.  You can make more batches, if you do a lot of baking, but I find this works for me.  The beauty of having a bake mix that you assemble yourself and have on hand, is that you can now find high-carb recipes on Pinterest, say, and you can create your own low-carb version with confidence.  It is a lot of fun, not to mention that you can now recreate your own favorite recipes from the past with ease.  You don't have to be spoon fed by low-carb bloggers.  You can once again be creative in your own right, as I know you are!
