Almond Flour muffins

* Not quite keto but made from almond flour

From: https://thelemonbowl.com/almond-flour-berry-muffins/

Ingredients:

  • 2 cup almond meal or flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs + 2 egg whites (Sarah note: I just use a total of 4 whole eggs) 
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (Sarah note: I use 2 teaspons)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (Sarah note: I've skipped this)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup berries fresh or frozen - any type (Sarah note: We've used chocolate chips too -- less healthy but very good. You can also use less than 1 cup of berries/chocolate chips.) 

Instructions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 and line 12 muffin tins with baking cups.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With the whisk attachment in a stand mixer, beat together eggs, egg whites, honey, olive oil, vanilla, lemon zest and juice over medium speed until combined.
  • Slowly add the almond flour mixture into the wet mixture while running over medium speed until fully blended.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the berries.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or large spoons, drop mixture evenly into lined muffin pan. It should be enough for 12 muffins.
  • Bake for 25 minutes then let cool on cooling rack.
