Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

These delicious keto strawberry rhubarb muffins marry the tartness of rhubarb with the natural sweetness of strawberries perfectly.

I love how muffins have the substance to stand alone. Muffins are a sneaky way to enjoy dessert for breakfast, and who doesn’t want that green light?

Enjoy these keto-friendly strawberry rhubarb muffins with a cup of coffee or tea for a surefire way to start your day well. 

Or as the perfect seasonal snack, brunch treat, or even dessert!

It’s a great way

The recipe uses cream cheese in the batter, and it accomplishes three things, it gives them a creamy light texture, adds stability to muffins, plus a little more protein. Winning!

Keto Rhubarb Strawberry Muffins

Honestly, you just can’t go wrong with these tasty muffins. I mean, how could you when you get to enjoy the unmatched flavors of strawberries and rhubarb together in every single bite? 

I have a whole collection of keto rhubarb recipes because I can’t seem to get enough of the tartness of the rhubarb and its tangy flavor profile. If you’re anything like me, be sure to check out those recipes too.  

Nothing says spring is here like rhubarb. For those fortunate enough to grow their own rhubarb, it shows up in all its pink and red glory as a sign that the seasons are changing. 

The fact that these are keto muffins means that they make keto macro tracking simple, plus they are easy to pack for on-the-go keto treats. 

Here in South Florida, growing rhubarb isn’t a thing, or at least that’s what I’ve been told, but one of these days, I may just attempt to grow my own, even if it’s going to be tricky. Why? Because rhubarb is hands down one of my favorite items to cook and bake with. 

Do you need proof? 

I’ve made so many rhubarb-based recipes, including a keto rhubarb strawberry crumble, a keto strawberry rhubarb pie, and even a keto trawberry rhubarb bread, to name just a few.

But this is the first time I have made keto-friendly strawberry rhubarb muffins.

Low-Carb Rhubarb Strawberry Muffins

Taking a bite of a muffin that is studded with slices of strawberries that contrasts nicely with tart rhubarb is simply a winning combination. 

And don’t be concerned about the tartness of rhubarb because the addition of cream cheese helps balance all the flavors perfectly. 

Muffin batters are usually thicker, especially when they need to hold berries and rhubarb, as in the case of this recipe. 

Thankfully, although it’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal like breakfast, it still has a moist, tender crumb.

You’ll need to get your hands on some fresh or frozen rhubarb for these muffins. The good thing is that if you must use frozen, there is no need to defrost first.

This means that even when rhubarb season has passed, or you can’t get your hands on fresh rhubarb, you are covered.

However, the strawberries should be freshly sliced for the best flavor and results.

How To Make Keto Rhubarb Strawberry Muffins

With just a few simple steps, you can make keto muffins that are a great addition to your diet.

To make these delicious keto strawberry rhubarb muffins, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two muffin pans with paper liners.

In a large bowl, measure and sift the almond flour and set it aside. Add the baking powder and salt to the dry ingredients.

Then, in another large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the wet ingredients: cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract, and beat on high until light and fluffy. Add the sugar substitute and continue to mix well.

Next, you’ll add the eggs one at a time to the muffin batter, mixing well between each addition. Then, add the dry ingredients one tablespoon at a time until it’s fully incorporated into the batter.

Lastly, gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries and rhubarb.

Pour the cake batter into the two cupcake-lined muffin pans and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Once the muffins are done and allowed to cool on a wire rack, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for up to three weeks.

These muffins are a perfect go-to recipe for a keto-friendly breakfast or afternoon snack option that’s both yummy and healthy.

Best Sugar-Substitutes For Sugar-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

As far as choosing your sweetener for this delicious treat, my top choice is a monk fruit/erythritol blend. My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand because it gives the right amount of sweetness.

But you can also use Swerve an erythritol sugar substitute. 

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods. However, if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice. 

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.

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

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is putting it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to fundamental transformation. 

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group using the keto diet to transform their lives. 

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.

Note that once you click the link, you will be prompted to answer a few questions that ensure that you understand what this group stands for.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
