The ingredients for Almond and Linseed Muffins - low carb are:

1 cup ground linseed (flax)

3/4 cup ground almonds

2 T ground cocoa beans

2 T finely shredded dried coconut

2 T psyllium husk

1 t ground cinnamon

2 eggs

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 cup water

Substitutions: you can swap other nut meals for the ground almonds, or use a combination of a few types. Adding 1 T of baking powder will result in fluffier muffins. If you don't mind dairy, melted butter is a great substitute for the coconut oil. If you want to use a sweetener, try adding the equivalent of 1 T sugar, then taste before adding more. Make sure you add sweetener before mixing wet with dry ingredients.

Here is how you make Almond and Linseed Muffins - low carb:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 for fan-forced). Line or grease a muffin tray (12 medium muffins, 24 mini muffins).In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients well.In a small bowl, combine wet ingredients and stir vigorously.Combine wet with dry, and mix with a fork until completely combined.Spoon into muffin tray, dividing the mixture evenly.Bake for 10-15 minutes, until skewer comes out clean. Slightly under-bake for moister muffins.These muffins freeze very well, and are delicious warm or cold. I heartily advocate serving them with some coconut cream (or whipped dairy cream) and raspberries!Each of 12 muffins has less than 2g net carb! They include a good dose of fiber and good fats, so are nice and filling. Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JEZWYN.
