Ingredients that you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Almond flour: try to buy almond flour with a fine texture; this will result in a better structure for the muffins
Erythritol sugar replacer: get an erythritol-based sugar replacer that has a 1-to-1 conversion rate with sugar. This means that 100g of erythritol sugar replaces 100g of sugar. The one I use has a bit of stevia added to reach this ratio.
Baking powder: this is needed to make your batter rise while baking
Sea salt: to balance out the taste
Coconut oil: this makes the recipe lactose-free and paleo.
Unsweetened almond milk: helps to make the batter have the right level of water
Eggs: try to use large eggs
Vanilla extract: to add vanilla taste

Ingredient substitutions

This low carb muffins recipe contains multiple ingredients that could be substituted:

Sweetener: you can also use normal sugar or coconut sugar
Coconut oil: you can also use normal butter
Unsweetened almond milk: any other milk
Vanilla extract: you could also use almond extract if you want to give more almond taste to these muffins
