For the frosting:

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4. Line a muffin pan with paper cups and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and butter. Add sweetener, arrowroot powder, almond flour, K Nutri collagen peptides, baking powder and baking soda and mix until smooth.
  3. Alternatively, place everything in food processor and pulse until fully combined.
  4. Spoon the batter into 8 large or 12 regular muffin cups, and, using a spoon, smooth the tops.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, K Nutri whey vanilla protein, matcha powder, sweetener, and salt. Place a teaspoon on top of each muffin. Using a chopstick, gently swirl the tahini mixture into the muffin batter.
  6. Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a cake tester or a toothpick, inserted in the center, comes out clean.
  7. Place the muffins on a wire rack to cool. In the meantime, in a medium bowl, whisk together the frosting ingredients until fluffy. 
  8. Spread the frosting onto the cooled muffins and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze the muffins without frosting for up to 1 month.
