Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sugar-free sweetener, and salt.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the melted butter and almond milk until fully combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.
Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the ensaymada are baking, prepare the topping by beating the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Allow the ensaymada to cool slightly before spreading a thin layer of cream cheese on top.
Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over each ensaymada.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
