   I removed it from the recipe because I wanted to lower the carb intake.

   The banana emulsion does a great job of giving these muffins a nice banana flavor, so a real banana isn't necessarily unless you want to add a little potassium to your diet, which is always good for LC dieters.

6. 6

   Those on a LC diet seem to lack potassium, so a banana can help with that, but so can supplements.

   Mix with electric beater.

   Spray non-stick cooking spray into 12 cup muffin pan.

    The 15-16 min mark works for me.

    Be sure to refrigerate after you make these.

    The protein mskes them smell a little weird if you don't and besides, they taste so much

16. 16

    You can play with the ingredients a bit and lower the net carb intake even more.

17. 17

    Trial and error.

    Sometimes they will come out brown depending on what type of protein powder you use.

19. 19

    If you use chocolate will be much more dark, but still taste great for LC.

    Because they are loaded with protein, they are a great on-the-go breakfast meal.
