I don’t see a carb count on these. Can you share the carbs/serving? Thanks!
Hi. How many carbs are there in one of the muffins? Thank you!!
Hi Ruthie – sorry this is delayed! around 4-5g carb per muffin.
Hi Shannon – my 5 year old grandson was diagnosed in January. 2 questions about the pumpkin muffin recipe. Do you have any idea how many carbs per muffin? And what sweetener do you use? Thank you for sharing this. I’m anxious to try it.
Hi Stacy. Sending your family well wishes. Thank you for point thing out – I did forget to add the carbs. 4-5g each. I prefer the Truvia Blend for baking, it is a mix of Stevia and cane sugar. But, any sweetener will work – they are all around 4g carb/ tsp – Sorry this is so late in reply!
