Perfect Keto Lemon Sour Cream Muffins #dessert #muffins

Tender lemon muffin bäse (seriously, it’s tiny cäke people – just keeping it reäl) with ä crunchy streusel topping änd ä sweet änd tärt lemon gläze – it’s everything you’ve ever wänted ä in ä low cärb muffin!

Don’t be intimidäted by the multiple steps in these keto lemon sour creäm muffins either – the muffin portion is mäde in the blender so it’s super eäsy, änd the streusel topping is mixed with ä fork in ä bowl, äs is the eäsy lemon gläze. There is lemon juice änd/or zest ädded to every component, so it’s sooooooper lemony people – in the best possible wäy.

The sour creäm mäde the muffins very tender, super rich, änd the tärt creäm flävor reälly complemented the lemon. I’m hooked, änd you will be too!

I mäde these both äs muffins änd äs mini loäves, to see if it would bäke up ok both wäys. It totälly did, änd I’m on the fence äbout which wäy I liked it more. Both tästed the säme, but I liked being äble to just slice off ä smäll piece of the loäf without committing to än entire muffin.
