Low-Carb Almond Muffins

Ingredients:

    * 2 cups almond flour
    * 2 teaspoons baking powder
    * 1/4 teaspoon salt
    * 1/2 cup Ghee or Coconut Oil
    * 4 eggs – beaten well
    * 1/3 cup water
    * ½ tsp. Vanilla or Almond extract or both
    * 2-3 Tbs. Dr. Dave’s Double Sugar

Preparation:
1) Preheat oven to 350 F.

2) Grease 12 muffin tin spaces with ghee or coconut oil

3) Mix dry ingredients together well.

4) Add wet ingredients and mix thoroughly

5) Put in muffin tins (about 1/2 to 2/3 full) and bake for about 15 minutes.

For a tasty variation add ¾ cup blueberries or raspberries – this will add about 1 gram of carbohydrate per muffin.  To increase the fiber you may replace half of the almond flour with flaxseed meal.

Nutritional Information: Each of 12 muffins has 1.5 grams effective carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber, 6 grams protein, and 185 calories.

This same recipe can be prepared in a cake pan for use in making a berry shortbread type dessert.  When cooking increase the baking time to around 25 minutes.
