I really like the Atkins muffin mixes, especially bananna nut and corn muffins.
Not only do they taste good, but they're easy to make. Just add eggs, oil and
water. Unfortunately I have only 4 packages left.

Now that Atkins has dropped this product are there any alternatives on the
market. Or perhaps a homemade mix I could store in the freezer until I'm ready
to add the wet ingredients and bake them?

Dobie's Flax Seed Muffins (WCHLD)

1/2 cup flax seeds (grind in coffee mill) 4.921 carbs (-fiber)
1/4 cup protein powder (if using soy, check label) 0
2 TBL oil (use something healthy...I use grapeseed)
1/4 cup splenda (can substitute other sweetner, but splenda is the
best)
1 beaten egg .61
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp banana extract (or flavor of choice)
1/4 tsp salt substitute (gives added potassium)
1 oz chopped nuts (optional, if used, add carbs)
1/2 cup water

Mix the above, let sit for a few minutes to thicken if necessary. Spoon
into 6 non-stick (I spray with pam) muffin tins. Bake 25-30 minutes at
350 degrees. They are just under 1 carb each. Remember flax seeds are
also the highest source of omega oils (higher than fish) which is
touted for preventing certain cancers and lowering cholesterol.

Muffins aren't low carb.

I like the Krusteaz CarbSimple mixes, blueberry and banana nut.
Simple, just egg, water, and mix. I find them in most supermarts in
the NW.

The problem with Krusteaz, last time I checked, was that it had
hydrogenated fats.

"The problem with Krusteaz, last time I checked, was that it had
hydrogenated fats. "

And as I recall, they are pretty high in total carbs, containing sugar
alcohols, and fairly high in net carbs too.
