Tips to Keep in Mind When Baking these White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
Sometimes, it can be tricky to bake low carb muffins since you will be using different ingredients than regular ones. One of the issues you could encounter is when the muffins come out dry.
Usually, this is the case when baking with coconut flour, which is why almond flour is often the preferred choice for low carb baking. Coconut flour is very absorbent, which can cause your baked goods to turn out dry.
Jennifer Banz, the creator of this recipe, uses almond flour and Greek yogurt to give these white chocolate raspberry muffins a moist texture. Also, when buying almond flour, choose the extra fine to keep your muffins from having that horrible gritty texture.
If you need to use coconut flour for these white chocolate raspberry muffins if don’t happen to have any almond flour, use only a cup of coconut flour and add one more egg.
