Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups almond flour blanched (<-- That brand preferred and recommended.)
½ cup flax seed meal OR chia or basil seed meal may also be used
¼ cup coconut flour
¼ cup low carb granulated sweetener Okay to use coconut or maple sugar for Paleo, Vegan and Gluten-free, if not Keto/Low Carb.
2 Tablespoons psyllium husk whole <— That brand is HIGHLY recommended to ensure success in the recipe. Make sure you use psyllium husk WHOLE, but brands do vary from one to another.
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon optional spices or 1/2 cup dry add-in For example, cinnamon, nuts or chocolate chips. Otherwise, omit. See Notes section below for suggestions and recipes!

Wet Ingredients

¼ cup coconut oil melted; Okay to use butter if not Vegan/dairy-free.
¼ cup coconut milk or other preferred milk
2 Tablespoons low carb liquid sweetener like Allulose (Okay to use maple syrup for Paleo or Vegan, or honey for Gluten-free, if not Keto/Low Carb.)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
optional: ½ cup wet fold-in: See Notes section below or: berries, chopped fruit, dried fruit, diced zucchini etc; if frozen strawberries are used, defrost and drain first so they're not watery or overly juicy

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line muffin tin with paper liners. (You may make 8 regular size muffins [2 to 3 ounces each] or 4 jumbo muffins.) Set aside.
In a medium to large size bowl, stir together all of the dry ingredients: almond flour, flax, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, psyllium, baking soda and sea salt. *Also include any optional spices or dry mix-in you may need for the unique flavor of muffin you're making, such as cinnamon or chocolate chips.
Add wet ingredients: coconut oil, coconut milk, low carb sweetener and vinegar. Batter will be VERY thick, more like dough. (This is because it's a unique egg-free recipe that turns out well! It won't be under-cooked inside or crumbly.) Use an electric handheld mixer to combine. Fold in any wet mix-in, such as fresh fruit, now. Scoop batter into muffin tin. Shape the tops of each muffin so middle is a little higher than the sides/edges (a domed top).
Bake about 15 minutes for smaller muffins, or 25 minutes for larger muffins. The outside will look golden and firm, and toothpick inserted should be moist but not wet.
Cool and enjoy!

Notes

Different flavor muffin ideas

Lemon flavored muffins (add poppy seeds or blueberries) — Use lemon juice in place of 2 Tablespoons of the milk in the recipe. Plus, add 1 to 2 drops lemon essential oil OR 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil, (like this one). Optionally, use 1 Tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind. For Lemon Glaze, stir together: 2/3 cup powdered sweetener and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
Berry Muffins — Stir in 1/2 cup for Keto, or 3/4 cup berries of choice. (Raspberries are lowest carb.)
Chocolate Chip Muffins — Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. For Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Muffins, also add 2 teaspoons Instant Organic Coffee Granules to the milk, to dissolve.
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Muffins — Stir in 1/3 cup white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts.
Gingerbread Muffins — Add 2 teaspoons dried ginger with dry ingredients. Add 1 Tablespoon molasses with wet ingredients to batter.
Snickerdoodle Muffins — Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon with dry ingredients. Before baking, top each muffin with cinnamon-granulated sweetener mixture. (In small bowl combine: 2 Tablespoons granulated sweetener with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pat on the tops of the raw batter generously.)
Apple Spice Muffins -- Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon. For Keto, dice and add 1/2 cup peeled zucchini; then use 1 teaspoon apple extract (find it here). For Paleo, Vegan, use diced, peeled apple.
