You will fall in love with this low carb keto muffins recipe, even if you are not on the keto diet. That’s how good they are! 

Super easy keto muffins

The muffins are super soft, fluffy, and so delicious!

They are quick to make, naturally gluten free, and can be customized to create unlimited new flavors.

The recipe also gives you no dairy, no sugar, and flourless options.

And they taste so good, it’s hard to not eat the entire batch at once. I seriously cannot stop making these muffins.

Flavor suggestions

So far, I have used the base muffin recipe to make plain, blueberry, strawberry, banana bread (adapted from these Banana Muffins), and dark chocolate flavors.

For blueberry keto muffins, simply add a handful of blueberries right before baking. Only stir very gently, so as not to break the berries.

Or use this sugar free muffin recipe: Keto Blueberry Muffins.

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or orange or lemon zest to the batter. You can make your own keto coffee cake muffins by topping each individual muffin with a nut based flourless streusel before baking in the oven.

What toppings will you add to your dream muffins?

How to make keto muffins

Gather all of the ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Grease a mini muffin tin very well so the muffins will pop right out after baking.

Stir together all of your dry ingredients until the sweetener, baking powder, and salt are evenly incorporated. Whisk in your wet ingredients, then fill each muffin cup around two thirds of the way full.

You should get around fourteen or fifteen mini keto breakfast muffins.

Bake the pan for minutes on the oven’s center rack. Then take the mini chocolate chip muffins out of the oven and let them cool for another ten minutes.

Go around the sides of the muffins with a knife and pop them out.

How to eat keto muffins

These homemade muffins are fantastic pretty much every way I’ve tried them.

They’re great plain or topped with butter, cream cheese, or Coconut Butter.

I especially love to stir chocolate chips or a handful of dried fruit or shredded coconut into the batter.

Or spread the muffins with this keto friendly Homemade Nutella Recipe.

The flavor and texture of these paleo muffins are somewhat similar to corn muffins, so they are great to serve alongside savory recipes, such as Lentil Soup, Tofu Scramble (for a protein packed breakfast), or Cauliflower Casserole.

For vegan keto muffins

While keto muffin recipes traditionally call for eggs, it turns out that making them vegan is easy! Simply use one of the numerous vegan egg substitutes on the market, such as Bob’s or Ener-G, or you can also make your own flax egg.

If you go with the flax option, the muffins will look more rustic (i.e. less domed and paler in color, with flecks of flaxseed dotting the muffins), but they are definitely just as delicious!

Low carb and sugar free muffins

To achieve the best keto muffin recipe, I’ve tested the muffins using numerous different sweeteners. Mostly I just wanted an excuse to make more batches of muffins!

Erythritol, xylitol, and stevia all work in the recipe.

Or if you are not on a ketogenic diet, white sugar, brown sugar, or unrefined sugar (such as coconut sugar) are also fine to use. Even if using regular sugar in these, you only need one tablespoon for the entire recipe!

The muffins are also free of coconut flour, heavy cream, oil, dairy, and protein powder, although I’m sure you could add some if you wanted to experiment.

And they have less than 1 net carb per muffin.

If you try the recipe, I hope you love them as much as we do!
