Keto Muffin FAQs
In this section I answer everything you need to know about keto muffin baking.
Keto muffins are low in net carbs. One of these keto blueberry muffins contains 3.7g net carbs and these keto almond flour muffins with chocolate chips are only 1.2g net carbs per muffin.
Most recipes use either almond flour or coconut flour - or a mix of both. Sometimes recipes require flax or whey protein powder.
Keto muffin recipes use a zero carb sugar substitute instead of regular sugar. Popular keto sweeteners include erythritol, allulose, monk fruit sweetener and stevia.
Nut and seed flours require lower temperatures than wheat. The ideal oven temperature for keto muffins is 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit. They need to bake around 25 minutes.
Store keto muffins just like you would regular muffins: up to 2 days at room temperature, up to 5 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer.
Substitutions
Here are allergy-friendly substitutions for keto muffin recipes.
Nut-free: The almond flour in recipes can be replaced 1:1 with a blend of sunflower seed flour and sesame seed flour.
Dairy-free: Instead of butter, use coconut oil. Sour cream or yoghurt can be replaced with coconut yoghurt.
Egg-free: This is a little trickier, but not impossible. I recommend using flax eggs or chia eggs. Muffins won't have a fluffy texture if you omit eggs. They will be denser.
Sweet Keto Muffins

Savory Keto Muffins
Take your pick from these savoury muffins. I love making egg muffins for Sunday brunch. It's so easy to change up the vegetables for different flavors.



Expert Tips
During my many years of baking muffins with gluten-free flours, I recommend following these helpful tips:
- Use an electric blender. I always beat the eggs for the muffin batter for around 2 minutes until they are fluffy and have doubled in size. Why? This makes the crumb texture lighter.
- Use paper cups to line the muffin pan. Or, use a silicone pan, which you grease very well. Why? Grain-free muffins are more fragile than regular muffins. This way, they don't stick to the pan.
- Wait until the muffins are cooled before eating. Why? Again, because they firm up as they cool down. They will be crumbly when hot.

Made the Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins last night. Wife and I thought these were just the cat's meow! Since my wife is a chocolate lover, I added some dark chocolate chnks which she thoroughly enjoyed (me too!). Next, when these are gone, I'm going to make the Nutella Swirl Muffins. However, sine we are GF, DF, low carb and sugar-free, I'm going to use a product called Suntella, sweetened with monk fruit sweetener. I happen to have a jar on hand. I'll let you know how they turned out.

I have a jar of Suntella at home as well! It will work great in the nutella muffin recipe.
