Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup Pepperoni slices or any preferred meat
- 1/4 cup Low-carb marinara sauce
- to taste Salt and pepper
- optional Additional cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with silicone liners or greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir these together evenly to create your dry mix.
- Combine Eggs and Dry Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Then add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
- Add Meats and Sauce: Fold in the pepperoni slices and low-carb marinara sauce gently, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for consistent flavor in every muffin.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Optionally, sprinkle extra cheese on top of each muffin to add a golden cheesy crust when baked.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to avoid sogginess.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy these muffins warm as a snack or quick meal. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer preservation.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the recipe by using your favorite meats such as sausage, bacon, or ham and different cheese varieties.
- These muffins are excellent for meal prepping and can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before reheating.
- To reheat, warm them in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences for spicier or milder muffins.
