Pro Tips
• For the best texture, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps them combine more evenly with the other .
• Different keto sweeteners have varying levels of sweetness. Taste a tiny bit of the batter (before adding eggs) to adjust the sweetness to your preference.
• If using frozen blueberries, toss them in 1 teaspoon of coconut flour before folding them into the batter. This prevents them from sinking and turning the batter purple.
• Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Gently warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before enjoying.
