The BEST KETO Friendly "Cornbread" Muffins (Gluten Free)

Perfectly moist & tasty muffins.

Ingredients:
coconut oil cooking spray
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 400*. Spray six muffin cups with the coconut oil spray. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cheese. Beat the eggs and butter until smooth. Whisk into the dry ingredients, just until they are completely moistened. Spoon equal portions into the six muffin cups. If desired, place 3 or 4 jalapeno slices on top of each muffin batter. Bake for 7 minutes. Rotate the muffin pan and continue baking for 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. 

Makes 6 servings. Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.

Notes: These muffins have the taste and texture of cornbread, even though there is no cornmeal in them!  If desired, the recipe may be doubled.
