Keto and GF - Lemon Sour Cream Muffins with Lemon Crumble
This amazing recipe is both Gluten Free and Keto…can’t ask for anything more. Who doesn't like a little bit of sweet in their life? This hits all of those cravings head on. It is rich yet tart, and isn't dry like most gluten free recipes. But what I like best about these Keto and GF muffins is the way the sour cream adds that moisture and richness to the amazing lemon taste!

Instructions
Easy to follow Instructions:
For the Muffin:
1 - Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and combine well.
2 - In another bowl, combine all wet ingredients and blend.
3 - Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and scrape down the sides as it is a very thick batter.
4 - I mixed it for about 4 minutes on low.
5 - Put mixture aside and turn oven on to 350°F to heat.
While the oven heats up, you can make the Streusel Topping:
Combine all ingredients for Streusel topping listed above into a small bowl and mix by hand with a fork until it forms a nice pea size crumble. If you find it too wet, add a little more coconut flour.
Time to bake the Muffins:
1 - Scoop lemony muffin batter into a 12 muffin tin or into a small loaf pan.
2 - Crumble the pea size Streusel topping evenly across all muffins or loaf.
3 - Bake in the middle rack of your oven at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes OR until a toothpick or fork inserted into the centre comes out clean.
While the Muffins bake, you can make your Lemon Glaze.
Combine Monk Fruit and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. If it is too thick and you love tart, add more lemon juice, otherwise, use a little water. Just play with the ingredients until you reach a smooth glaze.
