🧂 The Spice Secret: Flavor Without the Carbs
Spices are a keto baker’s best friend! They add bold flavors without sugar or carbs. Here’s the blend we use:
| Spice | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Cinnamon | Balances sweetness |
| Nutmeg | Adds warmth |
| Allspice | Gives depth |
Pro Tip: Toast spices in a dry pan for 1 minute to boost their flavor!
📝 Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins)
Dry Mix:
- 2 cups almond flour (not coconut flour – it’s too dry!)
- 1/3 cup keto sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol work best)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
Wet Mix:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Time!
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line a muffin tin with parchment cups (spray with oil to prevent sticking!)
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Almond flour
- Sweetener
- Baking powder
- Spices
Why whisk? It stops lumps and mixes flavors evenly!
3. Blend Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat:
- Eggs
- Melted butter
- Vanilla
Struggle with clumpy batter? Let eggs sit at room temperature first!
4. Combine & Bake
- Pour wet mix into dry mix
- Stir until just combined (overmixing = dense muffins!)
- Scoop into muffin cups (fill 3/4 full)
- Bake 18-20 minutes until golden
Test doneness: Insert a toothpick – it should come out clean!
