| The taste of this mix (Golden Vanilla Almond) is really good because the vanilla is just right. The texture was spongy, like a dish sponge that's been in the water. The appearance was...shiny. Be sure to actually follow the directions and grease your muffin pan; I used papers and a lot of the muffin came off when I peeled the paper. On the other hand, I might have lost at least half a carb per serving that way. It's a great treat if you judge it on its own merits. Just remember this isn't a Starbucks or bakery muffin, and you won't be disappointed. |

| The muffins taste like air - a little too light for me. I do like something heartier. But the taste is okay and I mix in slivered almonds to give the muffins some substance. I buy them for three reasons 1) they are low-carb; 2) they are fast to make; 3) I can grab two for breakfast and it is a nice break from eggs. If you like a very light muffin, these are fine. If you like something with more substance, these are not for you. |

| I tried the banana nut muffin mix. I had no sour cream, so I used some cottage cheese. It came out bland tasting, maybe it was the cottage cheese? So I improvised and cut up little 2-3" banana nut squares that were in the fridge and cool, dipped them in room temp. coconut oil, then pressed the squares in flaked coconut, then put a slice of banana on the square which gave it the moistness it was missing, then drizzled it with the Madhava Hazelnut Agave Nectar...yumarino! The hazelnut nectar is wicked good. This is a pretty good combo, give it a try. I gave the muffin mix a 3, because of the bland taste, but maybe it would have been 4-5 if I used the sour cream? But adding the above ingredients kicked it up to a 5 for me. |

| I would only rate this product if you cannot follow a recipe to make your own. Tried the banana & the cran/orange and OK but nothing I would chose to eat again. I have a standard sweet muffin recipe that I make with the carbalose flour & artificial sweeteners and I add whatever add-ins I want for flavor. So much tastier & inexpensive. |

| These muffins baked up nice with a great moist texture and a fabulous smell but to me they had a weird taste to them that I can't place other than to say it tasted a bit like dish soap. I really do not like coconut though and these have nice big coconut flakes and so that could be what I am tasting and it's just my dislike for it that is tainting my opinion! I am going to try another flavor next time based on the great moistness and texture.
I topped these with cream cheese frosting and it did make it so I could eat them. |

| These are okay. A bit salty so if you want to use butter, I would suggest using unsalted butter. |

| Well...the mix did produce muffins...and the texture wasn't a big problem, but the coconut taste was VERY strong in the carrot muffins (and I added fresh carrot and nuts to my batch). It was almost overwhelming. I'm trying two other flavors that don't have coconut in them and I'll see how that works out... |

| I have only tried the cranberry orange, apple cinnamon, banana nut, and blueberry cream. They were each good in their own right. The only thing I would change is that they were a little more moist, but that is typical of low carb baked items. |

| Made the blueberry cream muffins and were just so-so. There was almost no taste. Couldn't get my 7 year old to eat them. They are okay if you are desperate for a muffin like something. |

| I had high hopes for this - my first try for a mix - after reading so many reviews. But the 3 of us here who are LCing can't recommend these. I thought they were WAY too strong of coconut(which I like) & I see it's the first ingredient! My husband said "too sweet", and my daughter said "too much nutmeg flavor" (& I agree). Maybe there's another flavor that we'd like better...? |

| Not bad, but hardly delicious. It's nice to be able to find anything like this that is low carb, and they offer a nice variety of flavors. But honestly they don't taste very good. At least the coconut ones have a really bitter aftertaste. It's the only flavor I've tried. |

| I have to disagree with most of the reviews. I made the muffins and could hardly eat them. They had a artificial sweetener taste that was hard for me to get over. I would not buy again. |

| For 1 net carb it wasn't bad. It curbed the craving for something baked. The texture was bit off very spongy not fluffy. I would still buy it again though. |

| I was really disappointed with the corn muffins. They didn't really taste like corn muffins and lacked any type of flavor. They are low carb so I knew they wouldn't be as good as the real thing but these didn't even come close to a regular corn muffin. I have a few other types that I am eager to try based on reviews but I have to give the corn muffin mix the thumbs down! |

| These are not bad, I used to make muffins with a product called Hennmann's (I believe that was the brand) that were delicious but I can no longer find that brand. These are "cakelike" rather than "muffinlike". |

| I did not like the Muffin Mix. It has no flavor to them. I think I could add something to help them out. They may taste better. |
