Muffins

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Whisk eggs and sweetener until fluffy. Pour in the melted butter. Add the baking powder, salt, psyllium husk, and whisk to combine.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and keep whisking until you get a smooth batter. Allow to swell for a few minutes.
  4. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Remove from the heat. Add the butter in pieces and stir until it has melted.
  3. Place the cream in the refrigerator until it thickens.
  4. To make the cupcakes, pipe or spoon a little lime cream on top of each muffin.
  5. 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 wish these lovely recipes would not rely on erythritol so much. Your palate changes so much with low carb/keto diet that you just don't like sweet foods. Too much sweetness will keep addictions going, it is difficult to follow the diet. Our diet no longer has any sugar or sweeteners in it, only natural stuff in desserts too, like apple, berries or vanilla to sweeten, sometimes stevia. I keep directing my own patients to this site, but always have to remind them NOT to use erythritol, too many have now told me how they cannot get rid of their sugar addition with it and it causes abdominal side effects - not great for gut health.

    They wouldn't taste as good without it. Its a better alternative as long as you don't over do it. It shouldn't be a problem. You cant help people who don't want to help themselves.

    I think the same as Hanna, I'm a therapist and I follow a ketogenic diet. Everything that tastes sweet is no longer unpleasant on the palate.
    I think that the amounts of erythritiol are exaggerated.
    So I try to make the recipes using small quantity of stevia if necesary.

    Agreed. It's a shame that sweeteners are thrown around so much. It would be very nice with a filter to filter out all recipes that contain sweeteners.

    If it helps any, only the treat/dessert recipes have any sweetener. None of our breakfast or meal recipes include any sweetener at all.
