INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat the empty oven to 350 F.
- Pick the muffin tray with 12 muffin molds.
- Apply oil to the bottom & sides of all these molds.
- Place a vessel(big) on your working shelf.
- Gather all the items.
- Now, include the cheese(cream) in that vessel.
- Plug the electric mixer (hands) into the socket.
- Beat the cream cheese (softened) till it gets the creamy texture.
- Then, include eggs, sweetener, essence of vanilla, & xanthan gum.
- Beat well to have the smooth, & well-mixed batter.
- Now, include almonds & blueberries in that mixed batter.
- Fold them to distribute them in all the batter in an even way.
- Now, your batter is ready to transfer to the oiled molds.
- Shift the muffin tray to the oven (heated) once you have filled the tray with the batter.
- Close the oven’s door & give the muffins around 20/22 mins to bake.
- After the given time, if you see the surface is nice golden then your muffins are ready.
- The muffins should then be taken off the tray after the rest of 15/17 mins & placed on the cooling rack.
- Shift them in the fridge once, they come to normal temperature.
TIPS:
- Use properly softened cream cheese which is at moderate temperature. It won’t combine well if you use cream cheese(cold) and muffins get a hard consistency.
- If you are using frozen blueberries, melt them first & then include them in the batter. If you put frozen directly better will get the purple color.
- Let the muffins cool completely before putting it out, because I will crumble if you try to get hot muffins out.
