Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Whisk eggs and sweetener until fluffy. Pour in the melted butter. Add the baking powder, salt, psyllium husk, and whisk to combine.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and keep whisking until you get a smooth batter. Allow to swell for a few minutes.
- Shape small balls of the batter and place in the muffin moulds. Bake for 15 minutes or until they have a nice color and are baked through. Allow to cool.
Lime cream
- Over medium high heat, whisk eggs, sweetener and lime until it starts to thicken. Be careful so it doesn't start boiling, then it will turn into scrambled eggs.
- Remove from the heat. Add the butter in pieces and stir until it has melted.
- Place the cream in the refrigerator until it thickens.
- To make the cupcakes, pipe or spoon a little lime cream on top of each muffin.
- If you want, top each cupcake with a red currant and decorate the serving tray with lime wedges. Keep chilled in the refrigerator until serving time.

I think that the amounts of erythritiol are exaggerated.
So I try to make the recipes using small quantity of stevia if necesary.
If it helps any, only the treat/dessert recipes have any sweetener. None of our breakfast or meal recipes include any sweetener at all.
You can discount the carbs from the erythritol as it is a sugar alcohol highly unlikely to affect blood sugar.

Not extremely, but sometimes overmixing the batter can cause them to be flat.

Yes, a mini muffin pan works well for these! The length of whisking will vary, but you'll want to watch until you notice it becomes fluffy.
