WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE LOW CARB BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS?

To make the best keto blueberry lemon muffins, you’re going to need:

• super fine blanched almond flour
• monk fruit sweetener (or use your favorite low carb sweetener: SWERVE, erythritol, STEVIA)
• baking powder
• baking soda
• lemon zest
• cinnamon
• fine sea salt
• ghee, coconut oil (or butter if not paleo)
• eggs
• almond milk
• pure vanilla extract
• blueberries

HOW TO MAKE EASY LOW CARB BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS:

To make almond flour blueberry lemon muffins:

1. PREHEAT THE OVEN: Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. PREPARE MUFFIN PAN: Line a muffin tin with silicone or parchment paper liners. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
3. MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS: Add the almond flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.

4. POUR IN WET INGREDIENTS: Add almond milk and beaten eggs to the bowl. Stir together until well-mixed.

5. FOLD IN BLUEBERRIES: Add blueberries into the bowl and gently fold into the batter.
6. FILL MUFFIN PAN: Divide muffin batter evenly among muffin tins. Smooth the top and add one or two more. Add one or two more blueberries at the top and sprinkle with golden monk fruit sweetener.
7. BAKE: Bake at 350 F until the tops are golden, and a toothpick comes out clean – about 25 minutes. Allow to cool about 5-10 minutes before serving or transferring to a wire rack.

CAN YOU FREEZE PALEO BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS?

Yes, the great thing about these gluten free blueberry lemon muffins is you can make them ahead and freeze them to enjoy throughout the week. Allow the almond flour blueberry muffins to cool completely then put them in an airtight freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.

Thaw them on the counter for 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, then bring the muffins to room temperature or warm them up in the microwave.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST SUGAR FREE BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS:

• use silicone muffin liners or parchment paper liners to ensure that the muffins do not stick – I always lightly grease my muffin liners with nonstick cooking spray as well
• once you add the wet ingredients, stir in slowly and until just combined to avoid a tough and dense muffin
• when adding your blueberries, gently fold in so they do not bleed or stay intact

CAN YOU USE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES?

Fresh blueberries are best for this blueberry muffin recipe but frozen will work as well. It’s important to remember not to thaw them and add the frozen blueberries straight from the freezer into the muffin batter. This helps to keep the color of the batter from bleeding.

CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE BLUEBERRIES WITH OTHER LOW CARB FRUIT?

Yes! This recipe for keto blueberry muffins would also work well with strawberries, raspberries or blackberries.
