Fabulous Friday ... flowers and a low carb/gluten free muffin cake

Happy Friday to you.
Why not treat yourself, or your loved one, to some lovely flowers ...



… and perhaps a delicious
Low-carb, gluten free muffin cake which has a hint of cinnamon
and goes very well with a cup of tea or coffee


Ingredients:
Makes 10
4g carbs per muffin/cake
200 g almond flour or crushed almonds
¼ tsp salt
4 eggs
80 ml water
2 tsp baking powder
100 g butter
10 g Splenda (sugar substitute)
2 tsp cinnamon
Method:
1. Preheat the your oven to 350ΒΊ F 180ΒΊ C gas mark 4-moderate
2. Mix all the ingredients together either by hand or using a mixer.
3. Grease a muffin/cupcake pan and evenly divide the mixture.
4. Bake for about 25 Minutes

Notes:
These taste amazing, but you can also add sultanas, nuts or anything else to the mixture before baking if you so wish, although this will alter the carb count!
