Brenda's Notes:
- This recipe was first posted on my blog in December of 2014 and updated with video in September 2018.
- Nutrition info does not include the icing.
- If the icing is made ahead and kept in the refrigerator you may need to allow it to get to room temperature or microwave it for just a minute.
- If you don't have Swerve for the muffin part, you could use this powdered stevia, 1 tablespoon or pure stevia extract, just ½ teaspoon.
- Please note: I can not use almond flour since my youngest has a tree nut allergy so I used sunflower seeds one time I made them and I've also used sesame flour, I liked the sesame flour best for the texture.
