Low-Carb Chocolate Coffee Muffins
Instructions
Set the oven to preheat to 170°C / 350°F, with the wire rack in the centre of the oven. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake holders.
Place the nutmeg, salt, baking powder, coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder, and almond flour in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients until everything is properly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the granulated sweetener, cream cheese, and butter until you have a creamy mixture. Thoroughly beat in the liquid sweetener, vanilla, heavy cream, coconut oil, and eggs. Add the flour mixture to the bowl, and use a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Scrape the batter into the prepared muffin cups in even amounts; the batter should fill each cup about 2/3 of the way up. Place the muffin tin in the oven for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake the muffins, as this will result in them becoming too dry, and crumbling.
Let the tray stand on the counter for 5 minutes before removing the muffins and serving.
