Method
 

  1. Prep the oven and pan: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. Toast the walnuts: Spread chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until fragrant. Cool slightly.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 to 2/3 cup keto sweetener (to taste), 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup melted butter, 1/3 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
  5. Bring it together: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined. Fold in 3/4 cup toasted walnuts, reserving a tablespoon for topping.
  6. Portion the batter: Divide evenly among the muffin cups, about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved walnuts.
  7. Bake: Bake 18–22 minutes until the tops spring back lightly and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. They set as they cool, so don’t skip this step.
  9. Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, or store once fully cooled.
