Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: British
Serves: 2 muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs until they are frothy. Add the melted unsalted butter to the eggs and mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or spoon until a thick batter forms. Ensure there are no dry spots and the mixture is homogeneous.
- Divide the batter evenly into two portions and shape each portion into a round, flat disk, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the disks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the muffins in half horizontally and toast them if desired. Serve with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as butter, cream cheese, or sugar-free jam.
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality almond flour and coconut flour. Freshly ground flours can make a noticeable difference in your muffins.
- Don’t Skip the Preheating: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F (175°C) before baking. This ensures that your muffins rise properly and develop a nice golden color.
- Mix Thoroughly: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, ensure that there are no dry spots. A well-mixed batter will yield a more uniform texture in your muffins.
- Shape with Care: When forming the muffins, keep them about 1/2 inch thick for even baking. If they’re too thick, they may not cook through properly.
- Customize Your Toppings: Once baked, feel free to get creative with toppings! Try spreading some cream cheese, butter, or a dollop of sugar-free jam for a delicious low-carb treat.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just toast them straight from the freezer for a quick breakfast!
