Amazing muffins, and the same recipe for the cookie with slight adjustments listed below. We often take these on trips, easy snack, tasty treat, very filling. Add a few blueberries on the top and even more delicious!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup xylotol (or sugar substitute you like)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 full fat cream (or little less for more of a cookie)
- Sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon to your liking. I use about a teaspoon of each.
- 2 eggs (if you like them a little more dry, cut it back to one, or more muffin like add 3 eggs)
- Other options..
- We always throw in a half cup of almond chunks for crunch, half cup of coconut unsweetened flakes, spoonful of almond butter. Another option is to put 3-5 blueberries on the top just before they go in the oven. Whey protein is something else you can add as well, or 78% sugar free cocoa/chocolate chips. Once you have the base down, you can get really creative here.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven at 400.
- In two separate bowls, mix all the dry stuff together, and then all the wet stuff together. If you are going to add some of the almond butter, heat it a little so it mixes easier with the wet stuff bowl. If the mixture is a little runny then use a muffin tray, or you can add a little more almond meal to thicken it up a little. Melt the coconut oil or butter first so that it all mixes well.
- Then pour the wet stuff in to the dry stuff, and keep stirring till it is all mixed pretty well.
- Grease with butter the cookie sheet or muffin tray. My mixture is always a little runny so a muffin tray works great and I fill each pod about 3/4 full. If you opt for the thicker mix, then use a table spoon and dollop the mix leaving some space around, on a try you should be able to get about 12 cookies, unless you want to make mini cookies.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, keep and eye depending on how big your cookies/muffins are, small will need less time, larger a little more. Light golden brown on top. This time is with a convection oven.
- Will make around 12 nice sized muffin/cookies. I am guessing around 6-7 grams of protein, and with great fats, and really low carbs

We always have some with us when we travel and other healthy food options are slim pickings.
We love Honeyville almond flour
in a 5lb bag which is a lot cheaper than what we have found at the store.
For the muffin, the mix will be this runny (see below). The middle tray you can see almost 3/4 filled and ready to go in the oven. After 15 minutes, they were nicely browned but because they are quite deep, I placed a sheet of foil over the top so they would not brown any more, but gave them another 4-5 minutes, you can see the middles were still a little moist on a few of them. Yummy, moist, soft. Once cooled if there are any left, I store in a plastic sealed tub to stop them from drying out, they would last for a few days… but they never make it that long. in a 5lb bag which is a lot cheaper than what we have found at the store.

My family loved these muffins! The muffins were moist and spongy with a delicious flavor. They were especially good with blueberries mixed in. I used 1/4 cup of stevia as the sweetener. The muffins were quite sweet so I may reduce the amount I use the next time I make them.
Glad you liked them.
We love the almond cookies/muffins. Is there a limit to how many we can eat in a day?:
Thank you for the work you do.

From the Rosedale Team; Depending on your mix and size there is about 4 grams of protein in each, so keep an eye on your protein per day. Also, try to make them not so sweet as you do not want to feed a sweet tooth even on acceptable sugar replacements.
Looks good except that looks like a no stick muffin pan, which I have heard gives off poisen gases.
Hey there, You have done a fantastic job. I will definitely digg it and individually suggest to my friends. I’m sure they’ll be benefited from this website.
