    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)

    • 1/4 cup butter (melted and slightly cooled)
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1 tbsp lemon zest
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and powdered sweetener in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in melted butter, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Room temperature ingredients mix better and create a smoother batter.
  • Store muffins in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
