EQUIPMENT:

Hand mixer:

• I mix up my muffin ingredients easily with the hand mixer. It requires very short space for storage.

Muffin tray:

• We can’t make these cream cheese and cinnamon muffins without the muffin tray.

Baking sheets or parchment liners:

• A baking sheet or parchment liners is placed in the muffin tray so that muffins can come out easily as well and it can speed up the cleaning process as well.

Large bowl:

• We can mix our ingredients in a large bowl so it cannot make a mess.

INGREDIENTS:

For making cream cheese filling:

• Four oz. of cream cheese (softened)
• Three tablespoons of powdered monk fruit (Allulose blend)
• Half a teaspoon of extract of vanilla

Muffin base:

• Five tablespoon of unsalted butter
• Half cup of Besti monk fruit (Allulose blend)
• Three large eggs (room temperature)
• Three tablespoons of heavy cream (room temperature)
• One teaspoon of extracted of vanilla
• Two and a half cup almond flour
• Two tsp. of baking powder
• A quarter cup of sea salt

Streusel:

• One cup of almond flour
• Half a cup of monk fruit
• One tablespoon of cinnamon powder
• One-eight teaspoons of sea salt
• Two and a half tablespoons of butter (unsalted and melted)
• A quarter teaspoon of extract of vanilla

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Almond flour:

• You can use super fine texture almond flour to achieve great results. You cannot use coconut flour because it cannot give the right results.

Best monk fruit Allulose blend:

• I use Besti monk fruit because it can easily dissolve with the cream cheese. Another brand of sweetener leaves the grainy texture and this will not work for the cream cheese muffins.

Butter:

• I use butter in these muffins. We may use almond butter or cinnamon butter in these cinnamon and cream cheese muffins.
