Bakery-Style Keto Lemon Crumb Muffins

Keto Candy Girl just started selling their Lemon Mix again, and I was pumped to see this because it's my favorite mix of theirs! Thankfully shortly after they stopped selling it, Lolli's came out with Lemon Drop Cookie Clusters, and these totally satisfied my lemon craving. Then I had an idea: now that they're both available, why not combine them into one tasty creation?! So Bakery-Style Keto Lemon Crumb Muffins were born. These are huge, so you can easily make 12 normal-sized muffins versus six gigantic ones if that's preferable! 


Ingredients:

Muffins
1 bag Keto Candy Girl Lemon Cookie & Cake Mix
1/4 cup Swerve, powdered
1 stick salted butter, melted
5 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Crumbs
2oz Lolli's Lemon Drop Cookie Clusters (use code CKK at this link to get 10% off!)

Glaze
1/4 cup Swerve, powdered
3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1/8 tsp lemon extract

Instructions:

1) Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2) In a large bowl, mix together all muffin ingredients (Keto Candy Girl Lemon Mix, powdered Swerve, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, lemon extract, baking powder and baking soda). 

3) Evenly scoop batter into muffin liners in a cupcake pan.

4) Bake for 5 minutes at 350, and then remove from oven.

5) Now it's time to add the Lolli's. I recommend breaking the cookie clusters into tiny pieces. Gently press them into each muffin, fully covering the surface. (The reason we are doing this now vs before putting them in the oven is that they rise slightly in these first 5 minutes, and this allows you to get greater crumb coverage).

6) Return to oven, and bake for another ~19 minutes, or until done.

7) Remove from oven and allow to cool fully.

8) Make the glaze by mixing 1/4 cup powdered Swerve with 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream and 1/8 tsp lemon extract. (You can add more heavy whipping cream if you'd like a thinner glaze). Drizzle the glaze over each muffin. (I used an icing bag to do so, but you can also use a spoon, though I'd recommend making it slightly thinner in that case.)

9) Enjoy!
