Can’t wait to try these muffin recipes!
I found the orange essence gave the muffins an artificial flavour. Might try just adding orange zest the next time.
Overall lovely textured muffin. Used alulose as the sweetener as ethrytrol has an awful aftertaste for me.
Help! I entered all ingredients in the carb manager app and it said 188 calories, like your recipe but it said 6 net carbs. Why such a difference?
It looks like carb manager possibly didn’t include fiber in the almond flour.
I went back over the ingredients and i did not use sugar free cranberries, so that doubled the net carbs.
Can I use fresh cranberries or would they make batter too wet? Do you have a recipe using fresh cranberries ? What if I added some coconut flour to help dry batter a bit?
I actually think that would work just fine. I have used fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
Fantastic
