Why I really like this recipe

• Ridiculously easy. Made in only one bowl and prepared in 25 minutes, they want simply six components to make.
• Excellent texture and taste. They’re mild and fluffy and moist within the center. When it comes to style, they’re buttery and candy with no evident almond taste.
• Simple to customise. You’ll be able to jazz them up or taste them in a plethora of the way.
• Versatile. They make a superb snack, dessert, or perhaps a cheeky breakfast!

Elements wanted

• Almond flour. You could use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. The latter will yield a heavy and dense muffin, a lot darker in coloration. Additionally, select a superb high quality almond flour to keep away from any grittiness.
• Baking powder. Offers the muffins some rise and fluffiness. 
• Salt. Brings out the pure sweetness of the muffins. 
• Granulated sweetener of selection. To maintain the carbs down, I like allulose or monk fruit sweetener. Should you don’t observe a decrease carb, you should use coconut sugar, white sugar, and even brown sugar. 
• Eggs. Room temperature eggs, not refrigerated ones. 
• Butter. Unsalted and melted butter. You may as well use melted coconut oil. 
• Vanilla extract. Non-compulsory, however should you like a refined vanilla taste, 1/2 teaspoon is lots.
• Milk of selection. I used unsweetened almond milk, however use any milk you like. 

Crumble Topping

• Almond flour and coconut flour. The mix of almond and coconut flour will yield a young and scrumptious crumb topping. 
• Granulated sweetener of selection. Once more, you should use both of the sweeteners used within the muffins. 
• Chopped nuts. I used chopped walnuts, however pecans or different nuts are additionally nice.
• Cinnamon. Provides a scrumptious taste! 
• Melted butter. Clearly, ALL the perfect crumble toppings are buttery and scrumptious. 
• Powdered sugar icing. I used my keto powdered sugar and combined it with water, to drizzle over the tops of the muffins. After all, if carbs aren’t a difficulty, use commonplace confectioners sugar.

How you can make almond flour muffins

I’ve included step-by-step photographs beneath to make this recipe simple to observe at residence. For the total printable recipe directions and ingredient portions, scroll to the recipe card on the backside of this submit.

Step 1—Make the batter. Begin by mixing collectively your almond flour, baking powder, and salt and setting that apart. Add the remainder of your components to a big bowl and stir collectively till easy and mixed. Gently fold by way of the dry components till simply mixed.

Step 2- Assemble. Switch to a 12-count muffin tin coated in muffin liners. If including the crumble topping, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons onto the tops of every muffin (there’ll seemingly be some leftovers). 

Step 3- Bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes, or till a toothpick comes out the middle clear. Let the muffins cool within the pan for 10 minutes, earlier than rigorously transferring to a wire rack to chill fully. 

Arman’s recipe suggestions and variations

• Skip the topping. Simply be sure you easy the tops of every muffin to make sure they cook dinner properly.
• Solely use almond flour. Don’t substitute the almond flour for an additional flour. I’ve not examined this and can’t vouch for the outcomes.
• Make them vegan. Some readers have had success changing the eggs with an egg replacer. Once more, I’ve not tried it personally, so I can’t vouch for it. 
• Add mix-ins. Chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, lemon zest, berries, or shredded zucchini are all fabulous concepts.
• Use liquid sweeteners. Honey and maple syrup can exchange the granulated sweetener. After all, these add additional carbs within the type of pure sugars.

Storage directions

To retailer: As muffins are moist within the center, I like to recommend you retailer them always in an hermetic container within the fridge. They may maintain nicely for one week.

To freeze: Place muffins in a ziplock bag and retailer within the freezer for as much as 6 months.
