Easy Keto Low Carb Lemon Muffins without Four Mobile Featured Image

Ingredients for the muffins:
  cup soft butter (2.6 oz/75g)
  cup erythritol (2.6 oz/75g)
 ½ cup defatted almond flour (2.3 oz/65g)
 ¼ cup whole milk (2 fl oz/60ml)
 ¼ cup coconut flour (1.1 oz/30g)
 2 eggs
 1 tsp baking powder
 ½ lemon (juice)
 ½ lemon (zest)
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 4 drops lemon flavoring
Ingredients for the topping:
 ¼ cup full-fat cream cheese (2.1 oz/60g)
  tbsp heavy cream (0.3 fl oz/10ml)
 1 tbsp powdered erythritol (0.4 oz/10g)
 ½ lemon (juice)
1

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
 

2

Place the butter, erythritol, vanilla extract and lemon flavoring in a large bowl.

Beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or whisk until you get an even, pale and fluffy mixture.
 

3

Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and fold them into the beaten butter until you get a smooth dough.
 

4

Add 6 paper or silicone muffin liners into a muffin pan.
 

5

Distribute the muffin batter evenly among the muffin liners.
 

6

Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes in your preheated oven.

☝︎ Every oven is different, that's why the baking time in your oven might vary a bit from ours.

Keep an eye on the muffins, as almond flour tends to burn a bit faster than regular all-purpose wheat flour.

☝︎ You can test if your muffins are done with the "toothpick test": prick the middle of the muffin with a toothpick - if it comes out "clean" and without any chunks of dough stuck on the toothpick, they're good to go.
If not, you should leave them in the oven for a few more minutes.
 

(Optional) Preparing the topping:
7

Melt the cream cheese in a small saucepan or in your microwave and mix it with the other ingredients until you get an even mixture.

Pour the finished topping over your keto lemon muffins.
 

Storage:
8

Store the low carb lemon muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature and consume within 3 days.

Tip: You can freeze these muffins!
To do so, wrap them tightly in one layer of plastic wrap and one layer of aluminum foil and put them in your freezer.

Let them defrost overnight at room temperature once you want to eat them.
