Hey there, my lovely foodies! 💁♀️
Oh. My. Goodness. I just have to share this absolutely divine keto-friendly treat that’s been making my afternoons feel like I’m living in a fancy café! As someone who’s committed to the keto lifestyle (and let’s be honest, sometimes it can be challenging), discovering this recipe was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a low-carb rainbow.
Enter: The Cream Cheese-Stuffed Almond Flour Mini Muffins! _chef’s kiss_
Y’all, these little bites of heaven are so good, my non-keto friends literally begged for the recipe. And you know what? I’m feeling generous today, so let me spill the tea! 😉
Ingredients:
– 2 cups almond flour (fine ground, pretty please!)
– 3 large eggs (room temperature, darling)
– 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– Optional: 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (because why not?)
Okay, let’s get cooking! (And if you’re loving this already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipe inspo! Trust me, my kitchen is always cooking up something fabulous!)
Instructions:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a mini muffin tin with cute little liners.
1. In a large bowl, mix your almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Think of it as creating the perfect foundation – just like your makeup routine! 💅
1. In another bowl, beat those eggs like they owe you money, then mix in the melted butter and vanilla.
1. Here’s where the magic happens: Combine wet and dry ingredients until you get this gorgeous, smooth batter.
1. Now for the fun part! Fill each muffin cup halfway, pop a little cube of cream cheese in the center (I cut mine into small chunks), and top with remaining batter.
1. If you’re feeling extra (like me most days), sprinkle those sugar-free chocolate chips on top.
1. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Girl, let these babies cool for about 10 minutes before diving in – I know it’s hard, but trust me on this one! They’re even better slightly warm when that cream cheese center is all gooey and perfect! 🤤
Each mini muffin has only 2g net carbs, and they’re perfect for meal prep! Store them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days (if they last that long, which, let’s be real, they won’t! 😂).

Pro tip: Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for a cozy twist, or swap the vanilla extract for almond extract when I’m feeling fancy. Make it your own, honey!
Until next time, keep cooking and staying fabulous! 💖
