Keto Blueberry Muffins



These keto muffins are a bit labor intensive, but they’re a delicious way to kick off the day…

 [ For 7 to 8 people ]    [   Preparation time : 22 minute  –  Cooking time : 35 minutes  ]
Ingredients 

CREAM TOGETHER

½ stick (2 oz) butter, very soft
4 tablespoons (2 oz) cream cheese, very soft
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
DRY INGREDIENTS
½ cup (50 g) coconut flour
¼ cup Swerve Granulated
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/16 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (binds ingredients)
WET INGREDIENTS
3 large eggs (cold)
1/4 cup heavy cream (last wet addition)
ADD LAST
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons Swerve Granulated
Preparation Method
 Preheat oven to 350°. Position oven rack to the lower third of the oven. Line a six cup muffin tin with paper liners. Add the dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl and whisk together to combine and break up any lumps.



COMBINE: 
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and beat into the butter mixture until the mixture is light and fluffy (it may break or separate, it’s okay). Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix until completely incorporated, making sure to keep that light, fluffy texture. Keep in mind that we want a light and fluffy – almost mousse-like texture throughout this process.
Add another egg and beat until fully combined and the batter is fluffy. Add half of the remaining dry ingredients, beating again. Add the last egg, beating until fully incorporated, followed by the last of the dry ingredients. Finish by adding the heavy cream, once again, beating until the batter is thick but still light and fluffy. Fold in the blueberries.

FILLING THE MUFFIN TIN: 
Spoon the thick batter into a plastic zip-lock bag and snip off a corner, producing about a 3/4 inch hole. Place the snipped corner into a muffin liner and squeeze the batter into a fat, rounded mound, filling the muffin liner about 3/4 full. Repeat for each muffin liner, adding any remaining batter to those that need a little more. Knockdown any peaks with your finger. Sprinkle about the ¼ teaspoon of Swerve granulated over the top of each muffin to help prevent burning and to give the muffins a nice look.
BAKE:

Place the muffins into the oven. Turn the oven up to 400° degrees for 5 minutes. Then, turn the oven back to 350° and bake the blueberry muffins for about 25 minutes more. They’re ready when they feel firm when lightly pressed with a finger but still sound a little moist. Remove from the oven and let cool five minutes before gently removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack.

How To Make Zucchini Pizza Bites
Zucchini pizzas can be made ahead and placed in the fridge until your guests arrive.  When they arrive, simply pop the pan in the oven and enjoy! But don’t forget, this zucchini pizza bites recipe is so versatile, it can also be dressed up for a more upscale presentation!

Going to an open house? A dinner party? Grown up game night with the neighbors? Just add just a few flourishes of basil or red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese and any crowd will come back for more!
Zucchini Pizza Bites/ low carb snacks

Feel free to use a store-bought low carb pizza sauce or a tomato sauce that you can season with extra garlic or oregano. Zucchini bite pizza slice toppings can be pepperoni, Canadian bacon, crumbled bacon, ground beef or sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, olives, or even little wedges of pineapple. Mozzarella is the standard go-to when it comes to pizza because of its creamy, mild flavor and its ability to hold everything together. But these zucchini bites scream for home chefs to get creative and try other kinds of cheese like provolone, cheddar or parmesan to take your Zucchini Pizza Bites to the next level!

Zucchini cooks up FAST, making it these zucchini pizza bites the perfect quick snack or appetizer. It only takes about 5 minutes in the oven to cook the zucchini!
