Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or refined coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons maple extract (not syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3–1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, as needed
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, plus extra for topping
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup for brushing tops

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. Lightly spray the liners if you have them to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, maple extract, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in 1/3 cup almond milk.
  4. Combine batter. Pour wet into dry and fold until just combined. If the batter seems too thick (it should be scoopable, not pourable), add up to 2 more tablespoons almond milk.
  5. Fold in walnuts. Stir in the chopped walnuts gently so the batter stays airy.
  6. Fill the cups. Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a few extra walnuts on top for crunch.
  7. Bake. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Finish and cool. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. For extra maple aroma, lightly brush warm tops with sugar-free maple syrup (optional).
  9. Serve. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. The flavor deepens after a few hours as the spices settle.
