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 mini 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.
My icing was so runny :-(
And the “cake” bit is quite dry. Even so, they are amazing and I’m so glad they are only 1g of carbs!!!!
Thanks for any feedback, maybe I did something wrong?
The most likely issue is that it was not left in the refrigerator long enough for the butter to thicken back up.
Unfortunately, sometimes the ingredients aren't always clear cut when making serving size adjustments. For 3/4 of an egg, I would just go ahead and use a whole egg.
I will pass along your request! :)
