How to Make Low Carb Doughnut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup granulated sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, ½ cup unsweetened buttermilk, and ¼ cup granulated sweetener.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze: Melt the remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) of butter. In a separate small bowl, mix ¼ cup of granulated sweetener with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Once the muffins are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sweetener mixture.
