Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 4 ounces full fat cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste
- 100 grams blueberries
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Cream Egg and Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with one egg until smooth, then gradually incorporate the remaining eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition to create a creamy mixture.
- Add Vanilla and Butter: Stir in the vanilla paste and melted unsalted butter into the creamy egg and cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently to form a thick batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to sit for about one hour at room temperature to let the flavors meld and the batter thicken slightly.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing or lining it with paper cups.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps improve texture and flavor integration.
- You can substitute blueberries with other berries or small fruit chunks if desired.
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened for easier mixing.
- Use a granulated sweetener suitable for baking, like erythritol or a sugar substitute, to keep it low-carb.
- Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
