Try These Tuna Muffins as a Special Low Carb Meal

This low carb diet recipe was a pleasant surprise as these muffins were very tasty and pretty darn convenient. Of course, I used canned tuna in the recipe (rather than the salmon) as this is one of my favorite fish. I am sure that they would have been just as scrumptious if I had used canned salmon – it’s your preference.
The Old Bay Tuna Muffins were very filling and extremely flavorful. I made them in a regular muffin tin and they seemed to be just the right size for my low carbohydrate diet plan. Here is the quick and simple recipe:
Old Bay Tuna or Salmon Muffins Ingredients
- 2 – 6 oz. Cans of salmon or tuna (drained)
- 2 – Eggs
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
- 2 tsps. – McCormick Old Bay Seasoning
Spice It Up (Optional):
- ¼ cup – Chopped Celery
- 2 tbs. – Chopped Onion
- ¼ cup – Chopped Green Peppers
- 2 oz. – Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
1) Mix all ingredients together thoroughly
2) Pour in to well-greased muffin pan
3) Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until puffed and top is light brown
There you have it – a simple yet delicious tuna (or salmon) muffin that should certainly be added to anyone’s quick weight loss diet plans. And once you tasted one of these delectable meal treats, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t become one of your low carb favorites, too. They’re definitely on my list!
