Blueberry Muffins
I LOVE blueberry muffins! So when I had some blueberries that were almost overripe I knew right away what I'd be doing with them.
This recipe took a few attempts to get just right. Initially I had made them using monkfruit as a sweetener. They were AMAZING, even my husband (my harshest keto critic) approved. But sadly the ratio was too low to be able to fit into T's diet. I started playing around with the recipe, adding more fats (heavy cream, oils), reducing sweetener and blueberries (gasp) the ratio was better but the taste and texture was off. Determined to get it right I kept at it, I threw away A LOT of muffins, but finally in dawned on me to try swapping out the monkfruit for Choczero Maple Syrup and O M G!!!!!
I kept everything else the same from my original recipe, and swapped 60g monkfruit for 40g maple syrup and the ratio increased from 1.5:1 to 2.3:1. (a much more manageable ratio for T) Topped with butter or with some heavy cream on the side T can now enjoy these muffins with the rest of us.
