Keto Blueberry Muffins With Almond Flour

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour finely ground
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour for structure and moisture balance
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder aluminum-free if possible
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit blend adjust to taste
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or other low-carb milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or ghee cooled or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional but recommended
  • 3/4 to 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen, unthawed
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for warmth
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coarse sweetener for sprinkling on top before baking

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners or grease well. This helps prevent sticking, since almond flour can cling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener until no lumps remain. A smooth base gives you an even crumb.
  • Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter (cooled), vanilla, and lemon zest. Make sure the butter isn’t hot or it can scramble the eggs.
  • Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick but scoopable. If it looks dry, add 1–2 teaspoons more almond milk.
  • Fold in blueberries: Gently stir in the blueberries. If using frozen, add them straight from the freezer to reduce bleeding. Don’t overmix.
  • Portion: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. For a bakery look, sprinkle a little coarse sweetener on top.
  • Bake: Place on the center rack and bake 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Almond flour muffins set as they cool, so this step matters.
