Notes
STORAGE
After cooling at room temperature keep the muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Alternatively, free in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
INGREDIENTS
I use light tasting olive oil but butter or ghee can be used in its place.
For the sweetener I use Sukrin:1. It is an erythritol and steviol mix and does not have any aftertaste. Monk Fruit/erythritol blends can be used or other brands such as Natvia and SoNourished.
Almond meal or almond flour can be used. For a nut-free keto muffin you can substitute with lupin flour however I have not tested it.
I always use room temperature eggs as they give a less eggy taste and perfect baking results every time.
Keto Creamer is often a blend of grass-fed butter and coconut oil, or MCT and collagen. You can leave it out completely or I would recommend adding the same quantity in powdered collagen. It makes the muffins lighter when baked.
