Cranberry Muffin Jubilee

Note: .  A cranberry muffin has 4.8 grams of carb.

 Ingredients:

12 ounces cream cheese, soft

5 eggs

15 packets Splenda sugar substitute

2 Teasps vanilla

1 ½ cups whole almond meal

1 cup unprocessed wheat bran

1 Teasp baking powder

1 cup whole or coarsely chopped (fresh or frozen) cranberries
 

Preheat oven to 325ºF.  Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan (heavy-gauge metal is best).  You can also use muffin liners.

Put cream cheese and two eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer.  Beat with a flat beater until smooth and fluffy.  Add the other eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each.  On slow speed, stir in the rest of the ingredients except the cranberries.  When mixture is well blended, stir in the cranberries.

Fill the muffin pans almost to the top.  (The muffins will rise only slightly.)  Bake muffins for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.  These muffins freeze well.  Thaw at room temperature
