    The Best Low Carb Blueberry Muffins

    Today's recipe is a guest post from the lovely and talented Kim Hardesty of Low Carb Maven.

    Not only is Kim a fantastic low carb baker, she has some incredibly mouth watering savory recipes on her blog as well. You won't be disappointed!

    About this Low Carb Blueberry Muffin Recipe

    From Kim:  If I’m going to spend extra carbs indulging in a low carb treat, it’d better be good. I think these low carb blueberry muffins are VERY good. We can all agree that low carb baked goods are different than the “real thing” - not bad, just different. These low carb blueberry muffins may lack that starchy stick-to-the-teeth mouthfeel inherent in regular muffins, but they are so soft and fluffy you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    Coconut Flour Keto Blueberry Muffins

    Coconut flour is the grain free flour alternative of choice for these muffins. It’s low in carbs, high in fiber and well tolerated by many who suffer with nut allergies. Coconut flour produces soft and fluffy baked goods which have a mild coconut flavor. I especially love it for low carb quick bread and muffin recipes like chocolate zucchini muffins and these great blueberry muffins.

    When using coconut flour, convention is to use lots of eggs to help add structure with their protein content and trap air. But the large amount of eggs causes baked goods to stick to pans like crazy, earning coconut flour a bum rap. To get around that problem I used a little cream cheese and a more traditional method of incorporating the ingredients. Make sure to let the muffins cool just a bit before gently removing from the pan and then store in the refrigerator. To enjoy, warm gently in the microwave.

    Recipe Tips

    • For best results, cream the ingredients together to whip air into the batter.
    • Use a plastic bag with a snipped corner to squeeze the batter into the muffin liners. If you don’t the muffins will be misshapen and spiky.
    • Weigh the coconut flour for best results since it is affected by ambient humidity.
    • Sprinkle the tops with erythritol to avoid burning.
    • Bake on a rack positioned to the lower third of the oven with the specific method I specify so that you can force the muffins to rise quickly, avoiding blueberry studded rocks.
    • Don’t overbake.
    • Slather a warm muffin with butter and enjoy!

    Description

    These Low Carb Blueberry Muffins are a low carb spin on a classic favorite. Warm, moist muffins, with tart, sweet blueberries, dusted with sweetener. They are low carb, keto, gluten free, and can be ready in less than 30 minutes. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    Cream Together

    • ½ stick (2 ounces) butter, very soft
    • 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) cream cheese, very soft
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla

    Dry Ingredients

    • ½ cup coconut flour (I use this brand))
    • ¼ cup granular sweetener (I use this brand) Code PEACE for 20% off
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1/16 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum (binds ingredients)

    Wet Ingredients

    • 3 large eggs (cold)
    • ¼ cup heavy cream

    Add Last

    • ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
    • 2 teaspoons granular sweetener

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1.  Preheat oven to 350°F. Position oven rack to the lower third of the oven. Line a six cup muffin tin with paper liners. Add the dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl and whisk together to combine and break up any lumps.

    Combine:

    1. In a medium bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and beat into the butter mixture until the mixture is light and fluffy (it may break or separate, it’s okay). Add ⅓ of the dry ingredients and mix until completely incorporated, making sure to keep that light, fluffy texture. Keep in mind that we want a light and fluffy - almost mousse-like texture throughout this process.
    2. Add another egg and beat until fully combined and the batter is fluffy. Add half of the remaining dry ingredients, beating again. Add the last egg, beating until fully incorporated, followed by the last of the dry ingredients. Finish by adding the heavy cream, once again, beating until the batter is thick, but still light and fluffy. Fold in the blueberries.

    Filling the Muffin Tin:

    1. Spoon the thick batter into a plastic zip-loc bag and snip off a corner, producing about a ¾ inch hole. Place the snipped corner into a muffin liner and squeeze the batter into a fat, rounded mound, filling the muffin liner about ¾ full. Repeat for each muffin liner, adding any remaining batter to those that need a little more. Knock down any peaks with your finger. Sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of monkfruit over the top of each muffin to help prevent burning and to give the muffins a nice look.

    Bake:

    1. Place the muffins into the oven. Turn the oven up to 400° degrees for 5 minutes. Then, turn the oven back to 350° and bake the blueberry muffins for about 25 minutes more. They’re ready when they feel firm when lightly pressed with a finger, but still sound a little moist. Remove from the oven and let cool five minutes before gently removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack.

      These were fantastic! I used a silicone muffin pan (sprayed, no liner) and got 8 muffins. Even my picky mom liked them. Will definitely use the base to make some variations. By far the best keto muffin recipe I've tried.

      Thank you so much! These were great! I used 3 tbsp KAL liquid stevia instead of the swerve.
