South Beach Diet Sausage Veggie Breakfast Muffins image

I got this recipe from a South Beach Diet Cookbook. They are so easy to make and the veggies change with the seasons. I make a few batches at a time and freeze them in individual zip locks for an easy grab and go in the morning. Just nuke them for 1 minute and go! Not just for breakfast but for a healthy snack. They travel well too.

Time 25m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 lb Italian sausage
2 green peppers
1 small onion
4 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • NOTE: You can use egg substitute (I always keep a container handy).
  • Heat oven to 350.
  • Crumble your italian sauge in a skillet with NO oil until nicely browned. (you can also use the italian patties).
  • Drain on paper towels and set aside in bowl.
  • Chop your peppers and onion and saute in same skillet until soft. Add to your sausages and mix well.
  • Spray your muffin tins and fill 1/2 way with sausage mix. If using whole eggs, beat and pour just to barely cover mix in tins. If using egg substitute, just pour to just barely cover.
  • Sprinkle Parm cheese over top, this will form a nice crust. Place muffin tin on top of large cookie sheet incase of dripping.
  • Bake for 10 - 15 minuters until slightly puffed.
  • There's no seasoning to add because the sausage is pre-seasoned. You can also make this with Turkey Sausage and use whatever veggies you like!

HCG DIET (P3) COCONUT FLOUR RASPBERRY MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



HCG Diet (P3) Coconut Flour Raspberry Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs, room temperature (important!)
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup splenda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2-5 tablespoons water (see below)
1/2 cup raspberries or blueberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° F. Prepare pan with a generous amount of butter. This recipe makes six "regular"-sized muffins. Whisk or beat the eggs until whites and yolks are well-mixed. Stream in the butter while continuing to whisk. Add salt and vanilla and mix until combined. If using liquid sweetener (preferred, as it is zero carb), add at this point. Mix the remaining dry ingredients, coconut flour, baking soda, and sweetener if using powder. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Now you will whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time. The coconut flour will absorb the liquid from the wet ingredients like crazy. You want to get it to a consistency that will hold up the berries, but not be too thick. I usually end up using about 4 Tablespoons of water. Gently mix in the berries and divide among 6 muffin cups. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until just turning golden on top.
