Best Low Carb Muffins

I made some Blueberry muffins on the weekend that were absolutely fabulous! I tried to share the recipe but the original blogger has removed it from the site or made it hard to find. It was called Low Carb Blueberry Muffins I changed it a bit to reflect accurate measures and I use Truvia (in the little pot which is a mixture of pure stevia and erythritol).  It is one of those “Nothing Muffin” recipes that you can switch up and it always tastes great!
I made it with frozen Blueberries and then again with Lily’s chips (1/3 Cup lily’s plus I switch out the lemon juice for apple cider vinegar and added 1/3 Cup Cocoa) The recipe with berries is approximately 3.5 net carbs when deducting fibre and sugar alcohols and came to 3.6 when I did the same calculation for the chocolate chocolate chip recipe. They freeze very well.

1 Tablespoon Lemon juice (fruit version) or Apple cider vinegar (sweet version)

Berry Muffins: Add 1 Cup frozen berries
Chocolate Chocolate chips version:  Use Apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice , add 1/3 cup lily's chocolate chips. You can I also added 1/3 Cup of cocoa to make them chocolate..
Snickerdoodle version: use the ACV instead if the lemon juice, add 1 Tablespoon cinnamon to the batter. Make a mixture of Truvia and cinnamon (3:1 ratio 3 Truvia:1 cinnamon) to sprinkle on top.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until well blended.
Add all other ingredients to the dry except for berries or chocolate chips.

Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners, I sprayed mine with olive oil cooking spray, and fill evenly.
Bake in 350 oven for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes clean.

Enjoy!
