Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml/12 fl oz) blanched almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tbsps (75 ml/2.5 fl oz) butter, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (100 g) powdered sweetener
- 2 tbsps psyllium husk powder
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp allspice
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sweetener
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Position the rack centrally and preheat to 350°F, then line a muffin tin with paper cases.
- Wet Ingredient Fusion: Cream butter, sweetener, and vanilla using an electric mixer, then seamlessly blend in eggs and heavy cream until achieving a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to ensure uniform distribution of components.
- Batter Creation: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using electric mixer, blending carefully to maintain a light, airy texture without overmixing.
- Baking Process: Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes, watching for golden edges and firm center that indicates thorough cooking.
- Cooling and Finishing: Allow muffins to cool completely on a wire rack, then brush with melted butter and generously coat with cinnamon-sweetener mixture, creating a donut-like exterior.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients to maintain a light, fluffy muffin texture. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough results.
- Temperature Matters: Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter integration and more even baking.
- Measure Precisely: Accurately measure almond flour and other dry ingredients to ensure proper keto-friendly consistency and taste.
- Cool Completely: Allow muffins to cool fully before coating to prevent butter from becoming absorbed and losing the classic donut-like exterior.
