Maple Bacon Muffin (Paleo/Low Carb/Gluten Free)
A low carb offering for our "macro minded" friends. This muffin is sweetened with lucuma (fruit based sweetener popular in S. America) and stevia. These is a blend of almond flour, a touch of cassava flour and pork panko mixed up with lots of other “real food” forward ingredients coming in at around less than 5 total net carbs per muffin if you make 12 smaller muffins or a little over 5 if you only make 10. And that crunchy topping, be sure to save that muffin top for last!!

- Preheat the oven to 385° and line muffin tin with parchment liners.
- Prepare topping, by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, pork panko, cassava flour, lucuma powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine well then toss in bacon. Set aside.
