Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour 112g
  • 5 tbsp coconut flour 35g
  • 2 tbsp flax meal 14g
  • 1 1/2 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted 80g
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sukrin brown sweetener 144g
  • 6 tbsp sour cream 90g
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrot 60g
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 1/2 :Ratio Toasted Almond Bars finely chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients up to and including almond flour, coconut flour, flax meal, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt.
  • In another bowl, add the coconut oil and melt it if needed. Add the eggs and sukrin sweetener and whisk everything to combine. (If you've whisked it well, small bubbles should form at the top of the mixture).
  • Next add the sour cream, shredded carrot, orange juice and orange zest. Whisk again until everything is fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and use a spoon to mix well until a thick batter forms.
  • Mix 1/2 of a chopped :Ratio Toasted Almond Bar into the batter.
  • Line a muffin tin with 10-12 muffin liners. Grease each liner using additional coconut oil (I use the spray can to make this easy).
  • Use a muffin scoop to evenly disperse the batter among the liners.
  • Sprinkle the extra :Ratio Toasted Almond Bar over the top of the muffins (you can also gently press the pieces down to help them stick).
  • Then bake the muffins for 20-23min or until a toothpick comes out relatively clean and the tops are a light golden brown. Serve warm as they are or topped with a pat of butter! Either way these Keto Morning Glory Muffins are delicious!

Tips For Making Keto Morning Glory Muffins

  • To get your :Ratio Bars chopped finely, you can either use a large, sharp knife and do it by hand OR use a slap chop or food processor instead if you own one! You want the bars chopped into pieces that seem suitable for a crumble topping.
  • If you do not have almond flour, you can try making these muffins with 10 tbsp coconut flour (70g) (only add more if needed).
  • If you do not have coconut flour, you can try making these keto muffins with 1 3/4 cups almond flour (200g). 
  • If you do not have flax meal, you can try replacing it with 2 tbsp oat fiber or psyllium husks OR you can simply replace it with ~1/4-1/3 cup almond flour or 1 -2 tbsp coconut flour (your batter should be quite thick)>
  • If you do not have Sukrin Brown Sweetener, you can also use regular powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener OR another keto friendly granulated sweetener. To add the brown sugar flavour, simply add 1/2-1 tsp molasses to the batter as well. 
  • If you do not have arrowroot starch, you can substitute cornstarch OR another 3 tbsp almond flour. (This ingredient helps to keep the muffins moist and give them a lighter texture)
  • If you do not have xanthan gum, you can still make these, they just may be a tad more crumbly. You can try subbing 1/2 tsp ground psyllium husks or 1 tsp cornstarch but I highly recommend purchasing xanthan gum if you plan to do any amount of low carb baking!
