Ingredients

I used only basic ingredients in these almond flour muffins. You probably already have almost everything in your pantry and spice rack. Plus, any that you don't have are pretty easy to find at the grocery store.

Real food recipes are sometimes the easiest ones to make. Here's a bit more information about what I used.

Almond flour

Do not use almond meal - use blanched almond flour. Almond meal is ground almonds with the skins on, so it will give your muffins a grainy texture.

Powdered sweetener

To make fluffy muffins, I suggest using a sugar-free powdered sugar substitute. It will mix really well with the batter.

I have also used brown sugar substitute in low-carb baking, but it definitely gives things a deeper and richer flavor.

Baking powder

The baking powder reacts with the butter, salt, and eggs, to give these muffins a lighter texture.

Butter

Use unsalted melted butter. If you use salted butter, then I suggest using less salt in the recipe.

Eggs

These are an emulsifier. They help everything combine really well together.

Unsweetened almond milk

Remember to use unsweetened almond milk. However, if you use vanilla almond milk, just use less vanilla extract.

Vanilla extract

This ingredient makes the almond flour muffins taste slightly sweet without having to add more sugar.

Salt

Just a pinch of salt will enhance all the other ingredients.

Tips

• Use an ice cream scoop. A small ice cream scoop makes it easier to fill the muffin liners ⅔ full with batter.
• Line the muffin tin using silicone muffin liners. These are reusable and non-stick, so you don't have to use non-stick spray.
• Check doneness with a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the almond flour muffins. If it comes out clean, they're fully cooked.

Instructions

These almond flour muffins are so easy to make that kids can help you! They are the perfect beginner recipe. Here's a bit more information about how to make them.

Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F, and then line 9 cups of a standard-sized muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Make the batter

In a large mixing bowl, beat together all of the ingredients until well combined.

Bake the muffins

After the almond flour mixture starts to look like a batter, it's time to bake the muffins.

Add the batter to the lined sections of the muffin tin. Then, bake them until they are golden brown.

Let them cool completely.

️ Serving suggestions

You can serve these at pretty much any time of day with practically any meal.

Almond flour muffins are perfect as breakfast cuisine. Drizzle them with sugar-free maple syrup and serve them with your favorite breakfast casserole.

They are absolutely delicious with a savory pot roast dinner too. Or add them to your favorite low-carb pork chops meal!

You can even eat them as a snack with a high-protein dessert, like these no-bake peanut butter cookies.

Variations

There are a lot of different ways to make almond flour muffins. This is a very basic recipe that is easy to build upon.

Add some sugar-free chocolate chips and orange zest into the batter, and you'll have delicious orange chocolate chip muffins.

Chopped nuts taste really good mixed in as well. Add some walnuts or chopped almonds.

To make a nut-free version, use sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour. It reacts the same way and has a similar taste.

If you have a sweet tooth, then make some almond flour banana muffins by adding a few mashed bananas to the batter.
