Ingredients

  • 4 egg large
  • 1.5 cups / 150g almond flour
  • 1.5 cups / 170g cheddar cheese grated / shredded, mature
  • 3.5 oz / 100g broccoli chopped very finely
  • ¼ cup / 60g natural yoghurt
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C /350 F and line a muffin pan with paper cups (or grease a silicone muffin mould).
  2. Blend the eggs in a food processor or with a handheld electric mixer until frothy and pale in colour (2 minutes).
  3. Add the almond flour, grated cheddar, natural yoghurt, baking powder, garlic powder and onion powder and blend until well-combined.
  4. Last, stir in the chopped broccoli.
  5. Fill the batter into 8 paper cups or your prepared silicone mould and sprinkle a little more cheddar over the top (optional).
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If necessary, loosely place aluminium paper over the tops during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.

Notes

  • Each muffin contains about 3.7g net carbs, making them suitable for low-carb diets.
  • Mature cheddar provides a strong flavor, but Gouda or Monterey Jack are good alternatives.
  • If grating cheese yourself, measure it by weight for accuracy.
  • Broccoli can be swapped with pre-roasted zucchini, red peppers, or cauliflower.
  • Store muffins in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months for extended use.
