Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (155g) almond flour
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- ¾ cup shredded cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add sour cream and melted butter, and stir until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in the shredded cheese.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.

Pro Tips:
- Cheese Variations: Try different types of cheese, like cheddar, mozzarella, or feta, to change the flavor.
- Herb Infusion: Add fresh or dried herbs (like chives or rosemary) for extra flavor.
- Make Ahead: Bake a batch and freeze leftovers. Reheat them in the oven for a quick snack or breakfast.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of avocado or serve them with soup for a wholesome meal.
- Texture Check: For best results, ensure the batter is thick but pourable; it shouldn’t be too runny.
