Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Meat & Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature while you prepare the batter.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to distribute the spices evenly.
- Add cheese and meats: Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped bacon, and crumbled cooked sausage into the dry mixture to incorporate all the savory components.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Mix wet and dry components: Gradually blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a consistent batter forms, ensuring an even distribution of all flavors.
- Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin, filling each cup evenly to about three-quarters full for proper rise and cooking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure bacon and sausage are fully cooked before adding to the batter.
- These muffins store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and they can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- You can substitute almond flour with another low-carb flour if desired, but this may alter texture.
- For added spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dry mix.
- Use silicone muffin cups for easy removal and cleanup.
