Ingredients
Cinnamon muffin batter
- 3 eggs large, room temperature
- ¼ cup butter melted, 57g
- ¼ cup cream cheese 60g
- ⅓ cup golden erythritol 67g
- 1.5 cup almond flour 150g
- ½ cup chopped pecans 55g
- 2.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
Pecan crunch streusel
- ½ cup chopped pecans 55g
- 1 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350 F electric or 160C / 320 F fan and line a muffin pan with paper cups.
- Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer or in a food processor until fluffy, pale and double in size. This takes about 2 minutes.
- Add the melted butter, cream cheese and sweetener and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together all remaining dry ingredients for the batter: almond flour, chopped pecans, cinnamon and baking powder. Add to the wet ingredients and blend until you have a smooth batter.
- Now, prepare the pecan crunch streusel: Stir together chopped pecans, melted butter and sweetener in a bowl.
- Fill the batter into the prepared paper cups and top with the pecan streusel.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Notes
3.5g net carbs per muffin. Makes 7 muffins.
Pecans: I ground my pecans in the food processor. I did this in two batches. For the batter, I ground them quite finely and for the topping I left them coarser.
Storage: All almond flour muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 6 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months.
Note - I had originally intended to make 8 muffins. But with all the batter testing only 7 made it all the way. If you are more disciplined than me, you might get 8 out of this recipe!
