Keto Lemon Sour Cream Muffins – Low Carb

Please See Other Recipes

As most of you know by now, I live on an island in Belize where the weather is perpetually summer-like.  The temperatures here range from HOT most of the year, to spontaneous combustion is imminent if you’re outside more than 5 minutes in August. ☀️ 🔥 💥

So it’s not easy for me to get in the mindset of “yay, Spring!” like it used to be when I lived in New York and froze half the year.

Still, I got very excited when out of the blue, lemons showed up on the island about a month ago.  🍋🍋 🍋 👈 😍 🎉

They don’t have yellow lemons here usually – it’s all limes all the time in Belize.  Which I’m OK with for the most part.  But this time of year still means lemon and strawberry (I scored some of those too, new recipe later this week, Woot!) flavored everything to me – so I bought a huge bag of them.

I was amused by the cashier’s obvious confusion – first at the weird yellow limes, and second that I was buying at least 20 of them! 😂    I couldn’t wait to get started cooking lemon flavored everything – the only problem was that I was leaving for the states for 3 weeks and had no time to use them before they went bad…

So I froze them out of desperation, which I’d never done before.  ❄️ 🍋 😱

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the muffin layer:
2. Combine all of the muffin ingredients in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
3. The mixture is thick so you’ll have to stop a few times and scrape the sides down with a silicone spatula to get it going the first minute or so.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F) and then start your streusel topping.
