Butter Walnut Muffins

About a month ago, I published a video on Butter Walnut Cake, and it was well received. Even my family members who are non-low-carb eaters gave their thumbs up. That was using a combo of almond and coconut flour which produced the best texture. This time around, I decided to show you how you can make this into muffins easily and for a change, I used solely coconut flour. The texture turned out just as good but for the same amount of sweetener I used for the cake version using a combo of almond and coconut flour, it was mildly sweet but with solely coconut flour, it turned out moderately sweet as coconut flour has some natural sweetness. So, if you prefer mildly sweet then you may want to reduce the sweetener. These Butter Walnut Muffins are soft, moist, buttery and nutty. Those crispy roasted walnuts make all the difference - incredibly delicious! And as usual, super easy to make.

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.

2.  Preheat the oven to 340 F or 170 C.

3.  In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients (except the walnuts) and mix until well combined.

4.  Add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.

5.  Finally, add the chopped roasted walnuts but reserve some for the topping. Mix to combine.

6.  In the video, I used sturdy muffin paper cups with the size of 2.8 in (7 cm) width, 2.2 in (5 cm) height and 2.4 in (6 cm) base. These muffin cups are firm with easy release (non-stick).

7.  Fill until 3/4 high, spread evenly then top with the remaining walnuts. This recipe makes 8 servings using these muffin cups.

8.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

9. These muffins can be kept at room temperature for about 2 to 3 days if you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is better to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

Coconut flour = 80 g (2/3 cup)

Other flour options: -

1. Solely almond flour = 300 g (2 1/2 cups)

2. Combo of almond flour = 150 g (1 1/4 cups) + coconut flour = 40 g (5 3/4 tbsp)

Baking Powder = 12 g (3 tsp)

Monk fruit = 80 g (1/4 cup + 2 1/2 tbsp) (This is moderately sweet so you can increase according to your preference. You can also use any other keto friendly sweetener.)

Salt = 3/4 to 1 tsp (I used 1 tsp as I like my butter cake to be salty enough but not overly salty. Of course, you can use 1/2 to 3/4 tsp if you prefer it to be less salty)

Chopped roasted walnuts = 120 g (1 cup) (I have gone all out with the walnuts as I love lots of crunch, but if you prefer, you can certainly reduce to 90 g or 3/4 cup)

WET INGREDIENTS

Unsalted Melted Butter (room temperature) = 225 g / 1 cup

Whole large eggs (room temperature) = 4 / 230 g

Vanilla Extract = 5 ml (1 tsp)
