HMR MUFFINS
3 packets HMR cereal
3 packets HMR 70 plus vanilla shakes
recipe says 1/4 cup of splenda for baking but I cut that amount in half
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup water
mix all dry ingrediets gently before adding liquid. It will be a thick batter so sometimes I need to add just a bit more water but not too much. spray a 6 cup muffin pan with pam and fill each cup. Pre heat oven and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. enjoy
if you like chocolate you can substitue chocolate for the vanilla and leave out flavorings.

Hi GarpBitBonkie:
A good place to look for recipes is here: http://www.hmrdiet.com/Enjoy/Recipe_Search Hopefully you find something there.
I'll also mention that, while HMR cereal cookies, muffins, and pancakes, (et al) are OK on the diet, the calories can add up *really* fast. The best bet for low calorie but filling recipes are high volume shakes.
Good luck!

Muffins made with only the HMR cereal and Shakes and a bit Calorie dense - more like a 7 through 10. I started ading a lb of shredded carrots and a lb of shredded zuchini to that recipe to add some bulk to the muffins. Now I add shredded carrots and even some pureed pineapple. You might need to add some more cinnamon. The trick is cooking them long enough to cook off all the moisture. But I have been making them every week for well over a year and never had a bad batch !!! They always turn out awesome. And with the pureed pineapple - you don't need the splenda 
Have fun !!

My other favorite muffin recipe.
Tastes just like pumpkin pie. Called Pumpkin Smashers. Got the recipe in class last week. It is 1 can of pumpkin puree, 1 box of SFFF Pudding Mix (recipe called for cheesecake, but I used butterscotch). One pack of Stevia or Splenda, 1 tbs of cinnamon. 2 packs of MGC. Mix all together and bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Top with dollop of FF Cool Whip. Makes 9 muffins.

I use the muffin recipes for those times I'm traveling or when I'm in a meeting and everyone is eating the real thing. One great discovery I've made is a non stick baking tin in the shape of donuts. It makes a nice sized cakey muffin and travels very well.

I usually double or triple a recipe and make the small muffins. Divide for 1 serving (usually 8 to 9 muffins) and freeze in individual bags. Great to have on hand. To give my muffins more texture, I usually mash up 1 can of carrots (drained) or 1 large cooked sweet potato.
