Did you use banana extract? That's what I'm going to do next time instead of vanilla.

I buy packaged low carb muffins and these were 100 times better, very moist, tasty and lower carbs than the mix.

Do you have a good bread recipe?

Pm me if you do not want to list it, the bread I am buying now has 4 carbs per slice and is good for toast but not the greatest for a sandwich.

I need something to make in the bread machine if possible.

These muffins are awesome.

Could you not add lemon extract instead of banana or strawberry extract for different flavors of muffins.

I posted a good breadmaker bread recipe in the recipes forum a while ago. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll send it to you. It's a bit heavy, though. Not bad, but a bit. I'm trying a new one today. I'll let you know if it turns out well.

I'm sure you could add all kinds of types of extracts! If you were willing to add a few more carbs you could probably toss some dried fruit in there too.

Glad you liked the recipe!
