Protein
- 1/2 cup cooked ground beef

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
- Combine Dry and Meats: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated mozzarella cheese, cooked ground beef, and pepperoni slices to create a hearty base for the muffins.
- Add Seasonings and Eggs: Add the eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, which will bind the ingredients and infuse flavor throughout.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of cheese, meats, and seasonings for consistent taste in every bite.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin well to prevent sticking, then fill each cup with the prepared mixture, spreading evenly.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin to firm up before carefully removing them. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or bacon for variation.
- Ensure ground beef is fully cooked before mixing to avoid undercooked meat.
- These muffins store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated.
- Using grated mozzarella helps the mixture bind and gives a melty texture.
- Adjust Italian seasoning according to taste preference.
