Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with silicone muffin liners or grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated and free of any lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix these wet ingredients thoroughly until they are completely blended.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until a cohesive batter forms, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Use a spatula to smooth the tops of the muffins.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, brush the warm muffins with additional melted butter and sprinkle with extra chopped parsley for enhanced flavor and presentation.
- Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a keto-friendly bread alternative. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh garlic and parsley make a huge difference in flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use silicone muffin liners or grease your pan well to prevent sticking.
- Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to maintain their structure.
- For extra richness, brush with melted butter right after baking.
- These muffins are best served warm, but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
- Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days for optimal taste and texture.
