LCHF Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Muffins

As we are still on our LCHF diet, I am still constantly trying to make our menu more interesting. This one is by far one of my favourites recipe. It's derived from a basic almond meal muffin recipe where you can just let your imagination ran wild; add whatever condiments you like into it and make them yours!

This time round I have the match make in heaven ~ Smoked salmon and cream cheese. This is a classic combo in a lot of Swedish recipe. Since my BF is from Sweden, this is obviously made with him in mind (hoping to score some brownie points) 

 

Basic Almond Meal Muffin
1.5 cups almond meal
1/2 cup grounded flax seed/ linseed (it usually comes in whole seed, just grind it with a kitchen grinder)
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup olive oil
3 eggs 



Smoke salmon & cream cheese muffin
100gm sliced smoked salmon(divided into 12 portions)
4 Tbs cream cheese


How to:
Combined all ingredients in basic almond meal muffin
Mix until combined
Line muffin trays with cups
Fill 2/3 of muffin cups with basic mixture
Put a portion of smoke salmon with 1 tsp of cream cheese
Cover filling with basic mixture. Fill it up to about 2/3 of muffin cups
Bake at 180c for about 20min

Note:
- You can add anything to the basic mix
- For a sweet variation, just add 1/3 cup of sweetener (or 16 drops if using liquid sweetener) & 1 cup of frozen berries (no thawing needed) into the mixture and fill the muffin cups to 2/3
- If you can't find flax seed/linseed, just use 2 cups almond meal instead
