Muffins
  • 2 cups Almond Flour Provides structure and a low-carb base; substitute with coconut flour but adjust the quantity.

  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda Helps with browning and rise.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; can be omitted for salt-free.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sweetener Offers sweetness without carbs.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easy mixing.
