Keto Blueberry Muffins

These keto blueberry muffins are bursting with blueberry yumminess. They have the perfect texture and flavor, making it hard to believe that they are healthy and good for you, but thankfully they are.

Made with almond flour, these blueberry keto muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or anytime you want a keto-friendly treat.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you may have noticed that I love blueberries and like to use them often, especially paired with lemon, like in my Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread

Being the fan of blueberry that I am, I was shocked when I realized I hadn’t shared one of the most classic blueberry treats, low-carb blueberry muffins.

So I, of course, got to work and started to create this recipe for you all, and really for me too!

I have an entire collection of keto muffin recipes you may want to also check out.

Keto blueberry recipes like these muffins allow you to enjoy blueberries while on a low-carb diet. This keto blueberry muffin recipe can be made with either fresh or frozen blueberries, which makes them not only delicious but a year-round favorite.

Packed with good-for-you antioxidants, making these keto blueberry muffins is an easy choice.

When eaten in moderation, blueberries can be part of the keto diet without issue. Blueberries can not only be low in carbs but also have tons of flavor and nutrition, making them a perfect fruit choice on keto.

With a little planning of your macros, you can have blueberries be part of your ketogenic lifestyle, especially because blueberries pack a lot of health benefits, so a little can go a long way in a keto recipe.

These keto blueberry muffins are now one of my favorites to make as a quick breakfast or for a lazy brunch on the weekend with the family.

But truly, these keto muffins are perfect at any time of day. So, don’t think that they are only a morning option.

This recipe would be great to make at the beginning of the week as part of meal planning for the week.

But if I’m being honest, in this house, the baked goods don’t last more than 24 hours with all of the oh-so-helpful volunteers to taste-test recipes.

Making keto-friendly blueberry muffins may seem complicated, but it’s actually quick and easy!

These keto muffins are made with finely milled almond flour. Something that I almost always recommend when using almond flour is to measure and then sift your almond flour.

This will make for a lighter and fluffier muffin. I recommend you visit our Keto Baking Tips for more of my tried and true ketogenic baking advice and favorite tips.

Because of my love of the blueberry and lemon combination, I have also included a recipe for a glaze made with confectioner’s sugar substitute; I like using Lakanto powdered or Swerve Confectioners and lemon juice and extract.

It gives the perfect zing to the sweetness of the blueberries and adds some extra sweetness. This glaze is optional and has not been added to the nutrition facts.

If you’ve become sensitive to sweetness due to living the keto lifestyle for a long time, you can leave out the glaze and lower the amount of sweetener in the recipe to adjust to your liking.

Benefits of Blueberries While Doing Keto

When it comes to meeting my nutritional needs, I like to make sure I get the most of the vitamins and minerals my body needs from my foods.

Thankfully, blueberries are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which is why I am always looking for creative ways to include them in my ketogenic diet.

Because blueberries are high in many good for you vitamins, they have been found to help bone strength, skin health, blood pressure, diabetes management, and many more!

One cup of blueberries can provide 24% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C and they also contain potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

That’s a whole lot of goodness in a small package!

Best Sugar-Substitutes

As far as which sugar substitute to use for these sugar-free blueberry muffins, I have a few recommendations.

Lakanto Monk Fruit Classic is their white granulated version, and it’s my go-to option whenever a recipe calls for granulated white.

It’s my favorite since the texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar.

The brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend, also makes a great white granulated sugar substitute. It’s a great option that’s more accessible to many, as it can be found in most grocery stores now.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a granulated white stevia-based sweetener.

You’ll have to use half the amount of Pyure since it’s doubly sweet.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect this, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

Plus, I find it doesn’t have much of an aftertaste. It’s also more economical, so there’s that too.
