Step-by-Step Instructions

Keto muffins still follow baking rules. - Prep muffin pan.
Line or grease well—almond flour sticks. - Mix dry ingredients.

In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla. - Combine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping coconut flour. Almond flour alone = too wet.
- Overbaking. Almond flour dries out fast.
- Eating too soon. Texture improves as they cool.
- Using regular sugar. That defeats the mission.
Alternatives & Substitutions
