1. Preheat Oven and Grease Muffin Tin
First, preheat your oven to 400°F. While the oven warms up, generously coat a muffin tin with butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, the cream cheese and heavy cream mixture, shredded cheese, and melted butter. Stir until well blended.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Using a hand mixer, blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Fill Muffin Tin and Bake
Pour the prepared batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes.
6. Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Marble your muffins with a ribbon of chocolate by adding dollops of melted chocolate to the batter before baking and using a toothpick or knife to swirl it around. The chocolate will provide a decadent contrast to the lightness of the muffins.
Gently fold in fresh or frozen berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or chopped strawberries before baking. The tartness and fruitiness will offer a refreshing counterpoint to the creamy texture.
Replace the almond flavor with vanilla extract and fold in a cup of fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries into the batter.
Create a streusel topping with a mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon or almond meal. This adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to the top of your muffins.
After baking, drizzle the muffins with an almond glaze, or a citrus glaze made with lemon or orange juice mixed with powdered sugar, to add a glossy finish and a punch of flavor.
