50 min

  • Step 1

    Add the almond flour, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt to a bowl. Mix until combined. Optionally, adjust the spices according to your taste.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Place two ounces of butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute at a low power setting. It should be completely melted. Add melted butter to another bowl along with heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, eggs, and erythritol. Beat with a hand mixer until thoroughly combined.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the dry ingredients and continue to beat until you get a smooth batter. This should take approximately 2 minutes. The batter will be slightly thick, but that's completely normal. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper lines. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
