Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 stick
  • 2/3 cup allulose
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • zest from one orange
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, roughly chopped

Glaze and Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F. Prepare a 12-cupcake pan by greasing or lining with cupcake liners.
  • Combine dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, Keto Chow, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder) in a bowl. Use a whisk to mix well. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream butter with allulose. Add in sour cream, almond extract, orange extract, orange zest, and whipping cream. Mix until uniform.
  • Add 1 egg to the wet ingredient bowl, mixing in slightly, then add in 1/2 of the dry ingredient mix, and mix again. Then add 1 more egg and mix. Add the last of the dry ingredients, and finally, add the last egg. Mix until incorporated.
  • Stir in the chopped cranberries and almonds.
  • Divide the dough between the 12 cupcake liners. This dough is stiff and keeps its shape when baking. I wet my hands and formed 12 even balls and put them in the liners. They will seem very full, but it doesn't overflow the liners when baked.
  • Bake at 325F for 29-32 minutes on the center rack. Mix glaze while muffins bake.
  • For the glaze, in a small bowl, mix powdered swerve, heavy whipping cream and almond extract until smooth. (I transferred this to a plastic sandwich bag, then snip the tip of the bag corner to use as a mini icing bag to make decorating easier.)
    orange Cranberry Muffins
  • Remove muffins from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. After muffins have cooled for about 5-10 minutes, drizzle the glaze over top. Garnish with the sliced almonds
  • Enjoy! Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Best when warmed up in the microwave before eating.

Notes

The lower baking temperature is to account for the excessive browning that comes from the coconut flour and allulose.
Don't like almonds? You can easily substitute walnuts for the chopped sliced almonds and omit the almond extract. The almond flour needs to stay, though!

Keto Chow Waffles

YUM! This is the only word I can think of that accurately describes these protein packed waffles. Dress them up with whipped cream and syrup, or just eat them straight off the waffle iron; either way I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Ingredients

Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • First, melt the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. This is crucial: if the oil is not melted it will harden and make lumps in the batter. Combine with the remaining waffle ingredients until smooth.
    Img 0541
  • Heat a waffle iron to high heat. Spray with cooking spray and cook waffles until golden brown.
    Img 0540
  • Beat whipping cream and Swerve on high until stiff (2-3 minutes).
    Img 0539
  • Dress the waffle with your favorite low carb toppings (berries, calorie free syrup, bacon, chocolate chips, etc.). Enjoy!
    Img 0537
  • I used Lilly's chocolate chips and Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup for my waffle; I highly recommend this combination!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, melt butter and cream cheese.
    Img 7112
  • Combine and add eggs. Be careful not to cook the eggs from the heat of the butter.
    Img 7115
  • In a separate bowl, mix protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon. Pour dry ingredients into wet; combine with a hand mixer until completely mixed. At first, the batter will look thin and too liquidy, but because of the xanthan gum in the protein powder, it will thicken up after a couple of minutes).

  • Stir in pecans.

  • Pour into muffin baking tray and bake at 350 degrees for 22-26 minutes. (I have a convection oven and after 24 minutes they were golden brown.)

  • The final product are these gorgeous golden brown muffins! They smelled so delicious they didn’t last long enough for me to take the pictures, I had to dig in! (If you notice the size difference between the two muffins on the bottom left side and the rest it’s because they’re lacking baking powder/soda- I did a little experiment to see how important it really was and obviously it made a HUGE difference!)
