Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Baking
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with a non-stick spray. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 3 large eggs and whisk them until they are frothy. Then, add in the 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients together until they are fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Once the batter is combined, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Amazing Low Carb Muffins as a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your almond flour and erythritol accurately. Too much or too little can affect the texture and taste of your muffins.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add your favorite low-carb mix-ins, such as nuts, seeds, or sugar-free chocolate chips, to elevate the flavor and texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Store Properly: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage!
