• Three large eggs
• ½ cup keto almond milk

• Four oz. cream cheese
• 2 tbsp. Erythritol powder
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract

TOPPING:

• 1 tbsp. almond flour
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. granulated Erythritol

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Almond flour provides a gentle and supple crumb and it also makes the muffins low-carb. Use fine almond flour for consistent baking and the smoothest texture.

ERYTHRITOL:

• Erythritol provides a well-balanced sweetness. Use powdered sweetener to keep the filling creamy.

BAKING POWDER:

• Baking powder keeps the muffins airy and helps them rise. Make sure it’s fresh for the greatest boost. You can add a pinch of baking soda to make it even lighter if desired.

CINNAMON:

• Cinnamon contributes to the muffins’ distinctive flavor, warm, & comfort. Adding freshly ground cinnamon improves its flavor and aroma. It complements the cream cheese filling quite nicely as well.

SALT:

• Salt balances sweetness and brings out all the flavors. Just a tiny bit is sufficient to highlight the cinnamon.

EGGS:

• Eggs give the mixture structure, moisture, and binding power. Use eggs that are room temperature to ensure consistent mixing. They also contribute protein, which gives the muffins a rich and filling texture.

ALMOND MILK:

• Almond milk makes the batter light and silky without adding extra carbohydrates. It keeps the muffins from getting too dense and mixes smoothly. Use unsweetened for genuine keto compliance.

MELTED BUTTER:

• Melted butter gives the crumb a delicate, moist texture and richness of flavor. Utilize unsalted butter to decrease the quantity of salt. Use coconut oil in place of dairy without altering the texture.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• Vanilla extract improves the batter and filling’s overall flavor and scent. It offers bakery-style sweetness and goes well with cinnamon.

CREAM CHEESE:

• The cream cheese provides a luscious, creamy middle to these muffins. Use soft cream cheese before mixing for a smooth filling. It melts a little and forms a layer that resembles cheesecake as it bakes.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• Erythritol powder adds sweetness to the cream cheese filling without adding roughness. It maintains a smooth and light texture while blending uniformly. Additionally, it helps replicate the flavor of traditional sugar fillings.

TOPPING:

• The topping’s Erythritol, cinnamon, and almond flour give it a crunchy, sugary finish. The mixture gives the soft muffins a pleasing texture contrast. Although optional, it is strongly advised for flavor.
