In the 30-day weight loss meal plan, there’s a recipe for lemon cream mug cake that you can microwave and eat in minutes.

Wouldn’t you know, my microwave stopped working about a month ago.

Instead of running out to buy a new one, it was an opportunity to eliminate the microwave. I’ve considered this for a while; perhaps it was a sign.

Craving the combination of lemon and cream cheese, I decided to scale up that recipe from individual portions to bake a batch of 12 using a muffin pan.

The twist on this recipe is almond butter added to the “icing” giving it a slightly nutty complement.

Best of all, it comes in at 4 net carbs per muffin, making it the perfect light treat for any time of day.

My favorite thing about these lemon almond butter muffins is the balance. They aren’t overwhelmingly tart but have a citrus edge. The topping is slightly sweet using my favorite combo of erythritol/stevia, with a nice balance of creaminess and almond flavor.
