Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (finely blanched)
  • Coconut flour
  • Granular or powdered erythritol/monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • Baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • Eggs
  • Unsalted butter (melted and cooled) or avocado oil
  • Sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt)
  • Unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
  • Sugar-free maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract
  • Maple extract (for stronger maple flavor)
  • Chopped pecans (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups almond flour, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, 1/2 cup keto sweetener, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup melted butter (or 1/3 cup avocado oil), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, 3 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon maple extract.
  4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If it’s too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons almond milk.
  5. Optional add-ins: Fold in 1/3 cup chopped pecans or 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips.
  6. Portion: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups. For a bakery look, sprinkle tops with a pinch of keto sweetener and cinnamon.
  7. Bake: Bake 16–20 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Cool fully for best texture.
  9. Optional glaze: For extra maple, whisk 2 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener with 1–2 teaspoons sugar-free maple syrup and a splash of almond milk. Drizzle over cooled muffins.
