Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.33 cup erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, grated (for topping)
• 0.25 cup butter (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sweetener (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and erythritol sweetener. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter and cream cheese together until both are softened. Stir to combine and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the large eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the heavy cream and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the ensaymadas are baking, prepare the topping by melting 1/4 cup butter and mixing it with the sugar-free powdered sweetener. Set aside.

Step 9

Once the ensaymadas are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 10

Brush the tops generously with the butter mixture and sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly ensaymadas!
