KETO PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS

I’m following this FREE keto sweets cookbook to make Ice-cream, dessert, bread, fat bombs, cheesecake, snacks and a lot of yummy & healthy recipes. I ❤ the book.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2  cup  butter softened
• 2/3  cup + 1 tbsp granulated erythritol sweetener, like Swerve
• 4  eggs large
• 3/4  cup  pumpkin puree, see notes
• 1  tsp  vanilla extract
• 1 1/2  cup  almond flour
• 1/2  cup  coconut flour
• 4  tsp  baking powder
• 2 tsp pumpkin spice, see notes
• 1/2  tsp  salt
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin pan, or line with paper muffin cups.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and 2/3 cup sweetener together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well to combine.
4. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla, and mix well to combine
5. In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Break up any lumps of almond flour or coconut flour.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir to combine. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tins.
7. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and 1 tbsp of sweetener. Add a generous tablespoon of softened cream cheese mixture to each muffin. Use the tip of a butter knife or a toothpick to swirl the batter and the cream cheese together.
8. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. (Try to test an area that is just muffin — not cream cheese — so you don’t confuse melty cream cheese for underdone muffin batter.)

28 DAY KETO MEAL PLAN

I am following the ??-??? ???? ????????? and I lost 80lbs. You’ll be able to start strong and finish strong, possibly ?????? 5-10 lbs in the first week alone.⁣

? The ??-??? ???? ????????? gives you an easy-to-follow plan and includes everything you need to be successful with the Keto diet — both now and in the long-term.⁣

NOTES

• If you have trouble swirling in the cream cheese mixture, you can warm it in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds before mixing it in.
• I liked these best at room temperature or slightly chilled. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
• See the post for more information about using canned vs. fresh pumpkin puree.
• See the post above for a recipe for a homemade pumpkin spice mixture.

NUTRITION INFO:

Swerve, or erythritol, is a sugar alcohol which is indigestible by humans. It has a glycemic index of 0 (meaning it does not spike blood sugar), and is, effectively, 0 net carbs.

All that to say, I count it as 0 net carbs in my calculations.
