Cheese Filled Danish Muffins (gluten free, no sugar added, Keto, low carb)
I love having something a little sweet with my coffee, like a Danish, but gluten free danish is far from healthy. So, I developed this muffin recipe with a cheese filling and sugar-free glaze. I actually like them better than traditional danish!
