Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts
5 ounces goat cheese (10 tablespoons)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, baking soda, and black pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and eggs. Blend the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined, then stir in the scallions.

    Step 3

    Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter into each prepared muffin cup, then press 1 tablespoon of goat cheese into each muffin.

    Step 4

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted 1/2 inch from the edge of the muffin (to avoid the goat cheese center) comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then serve.
