Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour (finely ground; not almond meal)
  • 1/3 cup granular erythritol or allulose (or your preferred keto sweetener; adjust to taste)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but lovely)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or another low-carb milk)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for best texture)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil (slightly cooled)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts, or lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil or butter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. Fold in any optional add-ins.
  5. Fill the tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. For taller muffin tops, fill closer to the top and use only 10 cups.
  6. Bake: Place in the center of the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They firm up as they cool, so resist cutting in too early.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Add a pat of butter or a smear of sugar-free jam if you like.
