Keto Blueberry Muffins
Keto Blueberry Muffins use almond flour and erythritol to keep them low carb while incorporating fresh or frozen blueberries for freshness and color. Lemon zest and juice add brightness to balance the mild nutty flavor of the almond flour. The muffins bake to a lightly browned top with bursts of berries inside. Each muffin is moderately sized, making these a practical choice for a keto-friendly snack or breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cup / 200g almond flour or ground almonds. Use 2 tablespoons less for super-fine almond flour
- 3 egg large, or 4 medium, room temperature
- ½ cup / 120g sour cream room temperature
- ⅓ cup / 60g erythritol or to taste, granulated
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- lemon from 1 lemon, zest, grated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup / 70g blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
- Blend the eggs for a few minutes until they are frothy and have increased in volume.
- Add the wet ingredients - sour cream, lemon juice, zest and vanilla extract - and blend.
- Then add the dry ingredients - almond flour, baking powder, erythritol or your low carb sweetener of choice - and blend until combined.
- Fill the batter into 8 paper muffin cups (or use a silicone muffin tray) and add the blueberries. Push some inside the batter and leave some on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
- Roll frozen blueberries in almond flour before adding to prevent color bleeding and sogginess.
- Do not omit the lemon zest; it enhances the flavor notably.
- Store muffins on the counter for up to 2 days, refrigerate for 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- This recipe makes 8 muffins, each about 70 grams and 3.7g net carbs.
