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 slightly cooled)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and powdered sweetener. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in melted butter, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep muffins light.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
