These low carb savoury goats cheese muffins are just so easy to make. I whipped up a batch in between other baking like a cooking machine! At 4g net carb per muffin you can have more than one!

I have a cheese, onion and chive muffin which is made with coconut flour too which I find a delicious savoury treat but wanted to try some other variations on the cheese and onion flavouring. So I threw together goats cheese, red onion and rosemary as I've had them together in the past and enjoyed them. Probably in crisp form..ahem! It's a popular flavour combination for bread too. Ooh, and quiches. I feel a frittata coming on!

I used a soft goats cheese and just crumbled it into the mixture. If you use a harder goats cheese cut it into small pieces. Perhaps quarter of a slice. The onion has to be slightly caramelized for this recipe but you could use a white onion if you don't have a red onion.

I didn't use a muffin case but greased up my tin thoroughly. They popped out of the tin okay but if I do these again I would use a case, purely as they would look better.

You may need to add more water or an extra egg depending upon your brand of coconut flour, as I find the more I bake with it, the different the results can be. My other cheese and onion muffins are probably more moist as they have more cheese in them than these. Perhaps a touch of grated zucchini for some added moisture too?

The smell of these muffins baking was just intoxicating. It made us impatiently pace around the kitchen and I received many questions of "are they ready yet?". The food tasting equivalent of "are we there yet?". One made it through the night like a brave solider so I can confirm that they keep well in the fridge and still taste delicious the next day.

    You tell when to add SALT, but it is not in the list of ingredients. I added 1/4 teas per a different recipe of yours - they are baking now- I hope it's right !

    Angela,

    I'm so grateful for your recipes with coconut and other nutfree options as -- though I love almond flour. nuts are a migraine trigger for me. I am so glad to find low carb yummies that will not trigger a disabling migraine. Thank you. Your blog is my favorite low carb cooking blog.

    I think feta might work well too and as that's all I have in my very empty refigerator at the moment it will have to do.

What is the secret to high muffins? ›

Chilling your muffin batter overnight in the fridge is the BEST thing you can do for amazing muffins. It makes them more moist, tender, and TALLER! It's very similar to chilling cookie dough, which if you know me you know I'm obsessed with chilling cookie dough. Think of it like marinating.

Are muffins better with oil or butter? ›

Healthful liquid plant oils—canola, corn, sunflower, extra virgin olive oil, and others—help keep whole-grain muffins moist and are a better choice than melted butter or shortening. When substituting liquid vegetable oil for butter, use 25 percent less oil (since butter contains water).

What not to do when making muffins? ›

Overmixing the batter.

When you overmix the batter, it crushes the air bubbles and ruins the fluffy texture. → Follow this tip: To ensure a batch of light, fluffy muffins, mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just barely combined, and no more dry flour is visible.

How to keep muffins moist? ›

If muffins are left exposed, the moisture starts to leak from them and they dry out. To store muffins up to 4 days, line an airtight container or zip-lock bag with paper towel and store the muffins in a single layer. Place another layer of paper towel on top of the muffins as well.

What can I add to muffin mix to make it moist? ›

Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt: Sour cream helps keep the muffins extra moist. If needed, you can use plain yogurt instead. Sugar: Use granulated sugar to sweeten these muffins. I used to use some brown sugar and some white granulated sugar, but brown sugar weighed the muffins down.

How to get domed muffins? ›

According to O. Corriher, the way to get a perfectly puffed up dome on your muffins is to increase your oven heat. She says that 400° should do it, no matter what the recipe says. The higher baking temperature means that the the outside edges of the muffin will set while the middle is still liquidy.
