    I made these this morning and they were great. The recipe actually made 12 regular sized muffins and 12 mini muffins. I had to increased the baking time to about 33 minutes total. I think with a little cream cheese frosting these would be more like cupcakes :)

    2 cups almond flour 

    2 teaspoons baking powder 

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 

    1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 

    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

    2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, sugar substitute, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger.

    You can find almond flour at a lot of different health food stores (Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Trader Joes, etc), but its also online! I buy stuff from nutsinbulk.com, and they have great prices and bulk discounts!

    I am always looking for low carb desert recipes.
    Here is my favorite recipe for desert I call it Banana Cream Rice pudding! Don't worry there is no rice or banana in it!

    Sugar Free Banana Cream pudding made as directions but only 1/2 box Save other half of box for next day desert.
    Shirataki Rice it is no carb/calorie and really a fiberous vegetable but cut to resemble rice. Rinse very well asian shirataki rice to remove the fluid it is packed in that has a odor.

    Shirataki rice is blotted dry and put in a non stick pan and dry fried until all moisture is gone. The sizzling noise will stop. Combine the pudding mix with the Shirataki rice. I squirt some real whipped cream on it and if I have carbs to spare will add a few marashano cherries even though they do contain sugar. Even though I am hypoglcemic but it does not raise my blood sugar that causes me to crave sugar or be hungry. This is very filling for me because the vegetable rice is really a fiber that swells in the tummy making me feel fuller longer. You can buy the Shirataki rice online or check Asian stores.
