Instructions
Prepare the jam, if you will be adding it. Combine berries and glucomann in a glass bowl and stir to distribute evenly.
Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, stir and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each one until desired consistency is reached.
Stir in lemon and vanilla and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with coconut oil.
Melt oil then stir in monk fruit and egg with a fork until well mixed. Add salt, vanilla, coconut flour, and baking powder and stir well to combine, letting the mixture sit for a minute or two to hydrate.
Pour batter into each of the 12 cups, half way full. Divide the jam and cream cheese evenly between the batter, using a spoon to press them into the tips of the muffins. Bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
