Blueberry Mini Muffins...Low-Carb

If you know me...you know that I LOVE making recipes that are both low-carb AND yummy!! Here is a recipe for some mini blueberry muffins! YUM!

Ingredients for the muffins:

1 cup fine almond flour...I use Blue Diamond

1 tbsp powdered erythritol

1/4 cup almond milk (any of the variations would work)

1 large egg

1/2 tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2/3 cup whole blueberries

about 7 squished blueberries...I like to pinch them and keep the insides of the blueberries but not all the skin but that is just me!

Ingredients for the streusel:

1/2 cup fine almond flour

1/4 cup brown monkfruit (see the picture below on the one I love) Lakanto Golden Monkfruit or Besti

1/2 tbsp cinnamon (plus an extra little pinch)

pinch of salt

1 tbsp melted butter

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

This will make 4 regular-size muffins or about 12 mini muffins.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line or grease a mini muffin tin very well...I used mini paper liners. Stir all dry ingredients very well then all all the wet ingredients including the squished blueberries but not the whole blueberries yet. Scoop the batter and fill the muffin cups 1/2 way then place 2 or 3 whole berries then cover them with more batter. You can then put a couple more whole blueberries on top and/or the cinnamon streusel topping. To make the streusel topping just combine everything together in a little bowl and sprinkle on the muffins before baking. The streusel is always so good! Bake for 13 minutes on the center rack (or 17 minutes for regular sized muffins). Remove from the oven and let cool another 10 minutes so they firm up. You can then go around the sides of each muffin with a knife and pop them out. If you used liners...they pop off easily after a day.

These are so yummy with coffee or just as a snack. Enjoy!

Net carbs are about 1.5g net carbs per one mini muffin.

For years…I felt helpless for our son, Corbin.

My husband, Chris, and I have 4 children and one of them…Corbin…was always sick. Corbin is our cotton-topped, sweet, tender-hearted third child and our first two children were hardly ever sick but poor Corbin would always have ear infections as a baby. I remember asking his pediatrician if we needed tubes because I felt like every couple of months he was coming down with an ear infection. We respected our pediatrician so much and he would always tell us that he will grow out of them. He did grow out of the constant ear infections but then we noticed that he was ALWAYS sick. Anytime ANY illness was going around….whether it was strep throat, the flu, or a stomach virus…..our poor Corbin would get it. It was almost a guarantee that he would get whatever it was that was going around the school…even though his other 3 siblings never got sick. I chalked it up to his immune system being low and NEVER ONCE DID I RESEARCH WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING OR WHAT I COULD DO TO HELP HIM. I just thought he was a sickly baby from the get-go so we would just have to deal with this. He is a straight A student but would miss out on the rewards that his elementary school would give (extra recess, glow stick and dance parties) because he never got perfect attendance. Finally, we came to our breaking point.

By April 2017, Corbin (now 8 years old) had been diagnosed with strep throat FOUR MONTHS IN A ROW. The last time he was diagnosed with strep…they also swabbed him for the flu and of course it was positive. OUR POOR BOY. Here he was…tears just running down his cheeks as they were swabbing his nose for the flu AND the back of his throat to check for strep. IT WAS AWFUL. As his mom…I felt so incredibly helpless. That image of him fighting back the tears but then just letting them flow down his cheeks was the worst and one that I am not able to forget. The pediatrician then sent us to the ENT and he told us that if he gets strep throat once more that his tonsils would have to come out. We filled out the paperwork for the surgery because…well…this was Corbin and we KNEW we were going to be back to get that tonsillectomy. The week before all this “went down” I was introduced to a product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I didn’t know how it would work or even if it WOULD work. As I am writing this…3 YEARS LATER…it still seems so surreal because our sweet Corbin has NOT BEEN BACK TO THE DOCTORS AT ALL!! He never got a tonsillectomy nor has he ever been back to his pediatrician! All the 8 years before have been nothing but doctors’ visits, antibiotics, diarrhea from the antibiotics, missing out on perfect attendance awards…EVERY SINGLE TIME, and most importantly…poor Corbin’s body was never healthy. Even he can’t believe it and tells me just how thankful he is that I took control of his health.
