Muffins:
- 2 cups ground flax seeds
- 2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup melted (but not hot) coconut oil
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. liquid stevia
Icing:
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 5-6 drops liquid stevia
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk the ground flax seeds with cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Place the eggs, water, oil, vanilla, and stevia in a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until foamy.
- Transfer the liquid mixture to the bowl with the flaxseed mixture. Stir with a spatula just until incorporated. The batter will be fluffy. Allow to sit for 3 minutes.
- Spoon the batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup 90% of the way up. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Immediately take the muffins out of the pan and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before drizzling each muffin with the icing.
- Coconut butter icing: Melt coconut butter and coconut oil in a small saucepan. Add vanilla, stevia, and juice of 1/2 lemon, and whisk.
- Drizzle icing over muffins.
- Enjoy!

Why don’t you ever post the Carbs, Protein and Fat content with any of your recipes?

I will make a note and try to add the macros in the next batch of recipes. 🙂

I looked for the nutrition facts:
12’muffins
Serving size: 1 muffin
Calories 170
Total fat 12g
Sodium 152 g
Total carbs 7.1g
Dietary fibre 5.7g
Total sugars .5g
Protein 6.1g
So 1.4 net carbs per muffin!! ????????????????
Hope this is helpful for everybody.
I used verywellfit.com website to calculate it.

Thank you!

Looks great but an’t eat it because of eggs. A big problem for me in following keto plan: no eggs or dairy
Ashley Smith
You can probably try flax eggs… 1 Tbs of ground flax in 3 Tbs warm water for each egg. Please let me know if you try it!
Carla van Raay
That’s a lot of bicarb of soda…do you not taste that in the muffins?
Ashley Smith
Not at all.

I used MyFitnessPal to calculate the nutrition facts and it came back with this (per muffin):

Total Carb: 8 g
Protein: 7 g
Ashley Smith
How much fiber? Because if you subtract that from the carbs, you’ll have your net carbs.

Can you tell me the amount of stevia powder instead of liquid?
Ashley Smith
I can’t say for sure without testing, but my guess would be an even 1:1 swap.

I cant stand the smell of coconut oil. (LOVE REGULAR coconut smells) but these oils gag me then i dont want to eat it.
Is there a special brand to buy that dont smell so bad?
The smell carries with me all day and at bed time to the point i cant go to sleep.
Ashley Smith
Look for refined coconut oil, as opposed to unrefined (which is way more coconutty). You can also sub ghee!
