Blueberry Muffins With Almond Flour (Keto, Low Carb)

An easy low carb and keto recipe for blueberry muffins made with almond flour.

Recipe Overview

These blueberry muffins are soft and fluffy, great for breakfast or as a convenient snack. They’re only 3.5g net carbs apiece and will help satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.

They’re pretty straightforward to make, with all of the ingredients mixed in a single bowl. The batter is transferred to greased muffin tin liners, and they’re baked in the oven until golden on top.

These muffins are made with heavy cream; for sour cream muffins, check out these low carb banana bread muffins.

Getting The Batter Right

The batter should be thick enough so that the blueberries don’t sink to the bottom of the muffins. But it shouldn’t be too thick such that you have a hard time scooping it up and filling the muffin liners.

When stirring and lifting up the batter using a mixing spoon or spatula, the batter should have no problem sliding and falling off.

If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream at a time. If too thin, add just enough almond flour until it has the right consistency.

Baking Time

My oven usually takes about 25 minutes to bake the muffins until golden brown. Depending on your oven, it could take a longer or shorter amount of time.

I recommend monitoring the muffins frequently to avoid overcooking. If it’s your first time making them, you may want to start checking them for doneness using a toothpick starting at 20 minutes.

Recommended Equipment

• Muffin Tin: You’ll need a standard muffin tin that can hold at least 4 muffins.
• Muffin Liners: I use foil liners, which makes it easy to lift the muffins from the tin.
• Nonstick Cooking Spray: I grease the liners using nonstick cooking spray so that the muffins can be easily released.
• Kitchen Scale: For best results, I recommend measuring out the main ingredients by weight and not volume.

Selecting Ingredients

When selecting blueberries, pick the smaller ones to use in these muffins so that they’re more evenly distributed in the batter. That way, you’ll get more frequent bites with blueberries in them. Save the larger ones for snacking!

I use a natural sugar-free sweetener called swerve, which is an erythritol blend that measures the same as sugar. Any other dry sweetener will also work well; for best results, make the appropriate sweetener conversions by weight so that you end up with the correct amount of sweetness. Note that pure erythritol is only about 70% as sweet as sugar, and often comes in rather large granules that should be powdered using a Nutribullet or similar blender before using.

Serving and Leftovers

You can serve these muffins as soon as they’re cool enough to handle. For leftovers, cover and store them at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 1 cup blanched almond flour (4 oz wt.)

2. In a bowl, add dry ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt). Whisk until well-mixed.
