Ingredients

Scale

2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sweetener) in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  4. Stir in melted butter, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
