Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it well or lining it with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter and milk, and whisk well to combine.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups using a spoon or a scoop, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a savory snack or alongside your favorite low-carb meal.
