Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Swerve erythritol sweetener
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Almond milk
- 1 cup Grated zucchini
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup Chayote squash, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and Swerve sweetener using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the almond milk, until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped walnuts, and diced chayote squash.
Stir in the lemon juice to add a touch of tartness that resembles the apple flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your keto apple crisp muffins as a tasty, low-carb treat!
