Ingredients:

| Baking soda | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Eggs | 4 large |
| Cheddar cheese, shredded | 4 ounces |
Directions:
-
Prepare the Muffin Batter:
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth batter. -
Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Line a muffin tin with non-stick baking cups or grease the tin with a small amount of oil or butter. This step will ensure your muffins easily come out after baking. -
Fill the Muffin Cups:
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing it evenly. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth the tops for even baking. -
Bake the Muffins:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool slightly on a wire rack. This will make it easier to remove them from the baking cups. Once cooled, unmold the muffins and serve warm. Bon appétit!
