Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple cider
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with non-stick spray or lining it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of erythritol, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple cider until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly add the melted butter (1/4 cup) to the egg and apple cider mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the butter does not solidify.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Keto Apple Cider Donut Muffins warm or at room temperature. Optionally, you can dust them with a little extra erythritol or cinnamon for added flavor before serving.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh spices and high-quality almond flour. Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg can elevate the taste of your muffins.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when they’re ready.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in your favorite keto-friendly mix-ins like chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra flavor boost.
- Store Properly: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage!
