Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener (or your preferred erythritol)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 7 eggs large, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup melted butter OR avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fold-ins & Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries halved
  • 3 tablespoons minced jalapeño peppers
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and sliced into 12 rounds, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork to break up any stubborn clumps, ensuring everything is well combined.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the lightly beaten eggs, melted butter (or avocado oil), and almond milk. Stir vigorously until everything is thoroughly mixed. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  • Fold in Flavors: Gently fold in the halved cranberries and minced jalapeños. This adds a lovely burst of sweet and spicy flavor!
  • Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. For a pretty presentation, place one thin slice of jalapeño on top of each muffin.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. You'll know they're done when the tops look set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool & Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These delicious, healthy muffins are best enjoyed fresh!
