You don't have to be on any special diet to enjoy these!!!

I have been experimenting with Almond Flour and found a recipe that I kinda liked. I tweaked it and made some changes and this is what I came up with.

These remind me of the red lobster cheese muffins. They are very moist and have a lot of flavor. It's hard to believe that I can eat these and it won't raise my blood sugar at all.
