INSTRUCTIONS:
- Pick a muffin tray & place the silicone/parchment liners in all the 12 cups.
- Heat the empty oven to 325 degrees F.
- Now, place a big vessel on the working shelf & gather all the items.
- Include butter & Sweetener (brown swerve) and beat them until creamy.
- Next, include the allulose (liquid) and beat it till combined.
- Now, it’s the time to mix the essence of caramel & eggs.
- After that include flour of almonds & salt and beat well till combined.
- Include the pecans and chips(chocolate).
- Fold to distribute them in the even way through out the batter.
- Distribute the batter into the muffin cups that have been prepared.
- Shift the tray to the oven(heated).
- Bake them till the muffins rise & become light golden brown on the top.
- As your muffins are baked, shift them to the counter & allow them to cool down.
- After 20 or 30 mins, remove them from the pan.
TIPS:
- If your muffin tray is non-stick, your muffins may stick to the pan. We recommend using liners (parchment/muffin) to avoid this mess.
- As we are not supposed to include the baking powder, the muffins won’t rise. So, you can fill the lined muffin cups to the top because they are not going to rise.
- A great helpful trick is to always use eggs that are at normal temperature.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
WITHOUT THE FRIDGE:
- Pack these muffins in the locked vessel. They’re good for up to five days without placing them in the fridge.
FRIDGE:
- Shift the locked container of the muffins to the fridge after five days. You may enjoy them for five more days while they are in the fridge.
FREEZER:
- Suppose you have made a big stock & plan to keep it for a longer time. Shift the locked container with muffins to the freezer. You can use them even after six or seven months.
FAQs:
Is the use of allulose compulsory?
- Allulose is the keto sweetener. Its liquid form contributes to having tender & moist juicy muffins. Otherwise, the use of allulose is optional.
What is the reason for not using the baking powder?
- We don’t want these muffins to be airy, or fluffy. The center of these muffins must resemble the moist, juicy & tender pecan pie. We can get this dense center when we omit the baking powder.
Is there any replacement if the swerve brown is not available?
- You are safe. A solution exists. Use any keto sweetener (granular) along with two tsps of molasses. This will give you almost the replacement of brown sugar.
