Lemony Blueberry Muffins

Lemony Blueberry Muffins (low carb)

Fairly Easy

A really go to breakfast for those on a low-carb way of eating is bacon and eggs. I love some bacon and eggs for breakfast! But, even a hardcore bacon and eggs eater can go for some variety, in my humble opinion.

So, this morning I came up with a recipe for some muffins featuring blueberries but also with a lemony flavor to them. I hope you give them a try and tell me how you liked them. 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Ingredients:

1.  1 1/2 c. almond flour
2.  1.2 c. coconut flour
3.  1 t. baking powder
4.  1 t. baking soda
5.  1 t. xanthan gum
6.  1/2 t. salt
7.  1/2 c. erythritol sweetener
8.  1/2 c. Splenda (bagged)
9.  1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (or 1 t. pure vanilla; add to wet ingredients)
10.  6 eggs, whisked well (best if room temp.)
11. 1/2 c. coconut oil, liquified  
12. 1 t. lemon zest
13.  juice from half a lemon 
14.  1 c. blueberries (frozen or fresh, I used frozen)

So how I did it is I took 2 bowls, one was larger than the other. I put all the dry ingredients into the larger bowl of the two. I took a fork and stirred and broke up any lumps in the mix. I stirred up all the liquid ingredients in the smaller bowl really well and then poured them into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mixed it well.

The last thing I did was fold in the blueberries. 

I used liners in my muffin pans but if you don't have any just be sure to grease them or use a spray so they don't stick. I had enough mixture to fill all 12 of the muffin holes. 

I then put them in the oven and let them bake for 50 minutes. But my oven may be different than yours so keep an eye on them and don't let them burn on top. My biggest fear is them not being done in the middle. I have followed other's recipes for loaf pans and the final product is not cooked all the way through. But 45-50 minutes should work fine.

Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour   I really like this brand of almond meal/flour because it's blanched and finely ground.
