  • 1.5 cups / 150g almond flour
  • 1.5 cups / 170g mature cheddar grated / shredded

Instructions

  • Fill the batter into 8 paper cups or your prepared silicone mould and sprinkle a little more cheddar over the top (optional).

Notes

Net carbs: 3.7g per cheese muffin. Makes 8 muffins. 
I used mature cheddar, but another cheese such as Gouda or Monterey Jack would also work well. 
The cheddar was pre-shredded. If you decide to grate it yourself, I recommend measuring in weight rather than cups to have a more accurate result. 
You could replace the broccoli with another vegetable such as zucchini or red peppers (both pre-roasted) or cauliflower. 
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
