📋 Key Ingredients & Why They Work
Let’s break down the simple ingredients that make these muffins keto-friendly:
| Ingredient | Purpose | Keto Swap Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Almond flour | Replaces wheat flour (low-carb, nutty flavor) | Use finely ground for best texture! |
| Erythritol | Zero-calorie sweetener (no sugar!) | Swap with monk fruit or stevia |
| Eggs | Bind ingredients + add fluffiness | Use room-temperature eggs for best rise |
| Greek yogurt | Adds moisture + protein | Substitute with sour cream or coconut yogurt |
| Baking powder | Helps muffins rise | Check expiry date for best results |
Wait—what’s erythritol? It’s a natural sweetener that tastes like sugar but doesn’t spike blood sugar. Perfect for keto! 🍬
