Instructions
- Optional, but recommended: Macerate the apples. Peel, core and chop 2 small apples. Put them in bowl with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoon sweetener. Stir and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out the liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit / 160C fan.
- Blend the eggs and sweetener for 2 minutes until they are frothy and have doubled in volume.
- Add the wet ingredients - cream cheese, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract. Blend until combined.
- Stir together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to the egg mix and blend until a smooth batter forms. It will be quite liquid at first, but firms up within 2 minutes as the flax and coconut flour soak up moisture.
- Drain all liquid from the bowl with the chopped apples (it will be about 2 tablespoons). Fold the apples into the muffin batter and fill the batter into 8 paper muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, stir together sweetener and cinnamon. Scatter over the muffins and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
- 2g net carbs per muffin. Makes 8 muffins. 1 muffin is 1 serving.
- To lower the carbs, reduce the apple to 1 cup / 125g. This brings the net carbs down to 4.3g and the sugar content to 3.1g.
- Best stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- These muffins are not overly sweet and quite light. For a richer, more cake-like experience, replace half of the cream cheese with butter.
