Preparation and cooking overview
To create these delightful muffins, make the crumbles first and then the muffin batter. Combine almond flour, coconut flour, nuts, cinnamon, and sweetener. Add butter, mix to form crumbles, and let it chill.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs and sweetener in another medium bowl and add liquid ingredients, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the batter until smooth and pour it into lined muffin tins. Top with chilled crumble and bake until golden. Just like that, your almond muffins will be ready within an hour!
Chef's note
Feel free to experiment with nuts like walnuts or almonds in the crumble. And for those with a sweet tooth, why not jazz up your muffins with a simple icing? Just mix powdered erythritol with almond milk for a heavenly glaze. Drizzle it on top right before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!

Preparation steps
- Measure and gather all the ingredients.
- Melt the butter for muffin batter.
- Chop pecan nuts.
- Dice butter for the crumbles.
- Line a muffin tin with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
Cooking instructions
- Mix almond flour, coconut flour, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and granulated erythritol in a bowl. Add the diced cold butter to the bowl, then gently mix the ingredients to make crumbles. Let it rest in the refrigerator until the muffin batter is ready.

- Divide the batter into a muffin tin lined with muffin liners. Take out the crumble mixture from the refrigerator. Sprinkle it evenly over each muffin.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 350°F/180°C for about 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool for 10 minutes after baking, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's pro tip
One of the most common mistakes when making these almond flour muffins is not mixing the crumble correctly, leading to a too-dry or too-wet texture. The key is to ensure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to mix until you achieve a sandy, crumbly texture.
