Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400F (200C) and line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and sweetener. Now add in the beaten eggs, greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Finally, fold in the sliced almonds, chocolate chips, or blueberries, if desired.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin cups evenly using a scoop. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the muffin tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  1. Almond flour: I have started weighing my almond flour as opposed to using measuring cups.  This yields a much more consistent baked good.  These almond flour muffins use 280g of almond flour.
  2. Sweetener: The sweetener I used was a 1 for 1 low carb friendly sugar substitute.   You could even use sugar or coconut sugar.  Of course, that would increase the calorie and carb count.
  3. Greek yogurt: This recipe works with fat free, 2%, and 4% plain greek style yogurt.  You can also use light or full fat sour cream.  They will all yield the same carb count, but the calorie count will differ.  Full fat sour cream will add 35 calories per muffin.
  4. How to freeze the almond flour muffins: remove the muffins from the muffin tin and let cool completely on a sheet tray.  Place the sheet tray with the muffins into the freezer for 2 hours to flash freeze.  Remove from the freezer and place the muffins in a freezer container or freezer bag.  Keep frozen for up to 3 months.  When you are ready to eat, remove as many as you need from the freezer and let thaw on the counter for a few minutes.
