Aunt Rocky’S Pbj Muffins (Peanut Butter, Lchf)
- 1/4 cups Almond Flour
- 6 Tablespoons Flax Meal
- 1/4 cups Granular Erythritol
- 1/4 cups Just Like Sugar Brown (or 2 To 3 Additional Tablespoons Erythritol)
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Gluten Free Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Glucomannan Powder (Konjac Root), Or Xanthan Gum
- 1/4 cups Coconut Oil, Melted
- 5 whole Eggs (large)
- 1/2 cups Skippy Natural Peanut Butter (or Other No Sugar Brand)
- 1/2 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 Tablespoons Smuckers Sugar Free Jam (any Flavor)
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Place 12 silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet, or line 12 cavities in a muffin pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all dry ingredients well: almond flour, flax meal, sweeteners, baking powder, salt, glucomannan. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt coconut oil completely (about 45 seconds in microwave). Using a hand mixer, beat in eggs until well blended. Add peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until very smooth on medium speed.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.
- Scoop 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup. (The cups will be nearly full.)
- Place the sugar free jam in a small bowl, and microwave for 10 seconds to soften a little. Stir to smooth. Drop 1 teaspoon of jam onto the center of each muffin. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the jam around just a bit.
- Bake 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Muffins will puff a bit, then settle as they cool. Let cool in cups for about 5 minutes to firm up. Turn out onto cooling rack to continue cooling.
- Store covered on the counter for a day or two, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Muffins may be frozen, and defrosted on the counter.
- Variation: Omit jam, add some sugar free chocolate chip, or frost with a favorite low carb frosting.
