Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Swirl

Ingredients:

For the Muffins:
5 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil melted or use liquid coconut oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cup Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Filling:
3 oz cream cheese room temperature
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoon Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Melt coconut oil and butter. ( I have started using liquid coconut oil for baking).

Beat eggs, Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.

Add coconut oil and butter to the mixture and mix well.

Add coconut flour, salt, and baking powder to other ingredients then mix thoroughly and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling and stir until combined.

Fill greased muffin tins with batter. (I would suggest using a silicone muffin pan or as keto baked items tend to stick.)

Spoon approx 1/2 teaspoon cream cheese filling mixture on top. With a toothpick, swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 18-22 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
