Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it well or lining it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter and milk, and whisk well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups using a spoon or a scoop, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a savory snack or alongside your favorite low-carb meal.
