Keto raspberry muffins are a delicious low carb breakfast or afternoon snack. They have a moist, fluffy gluten-free crumb and fruity raspberry bursts. You'll also love the sugar free streusel I've topped them with! Only 10 minutes prep and ready in 35 minutes.
When it comes to muffins, I just can't get enough. Sweet or savoury - I'm in! They are a great on-the-go snack and make-ahead breakfast.
I have two muffin pans at home and often make double batches, which I freeze. And voila - a steady flow of happiness at my fingertips!
I recently posted these keto strawberry muffins, which turned out so well.
Which made me realise that I really, really also needed a raspberry version on my website.
So, I tweaked the recipe a little and came up with these raspberry streusel muffins!

Ingredients
Here's what you need:
- Eggs - Large and room temperature. Fridge cold eggs can stop muffins from rising.
- Butter - Melted, then cooled.
- Yogurt - Greek yogurt or full fat natural
- Almond flour - I use ground almonds, which is the same as regular almond flour in the US. If you have extra-fine almond flour, reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons as extra-fine absorbs more moisture.
- Coconut flour - it's always best to measure this with digital scales!
- Granulated sweetener - I used an erythritol monk fruit sweetener blend that is a 1:1 sugar alternative. Allulose or xylitol will work as well.
- Vanilla extract, baking powder
- Raspberries - I used frozen, but fresh raspberries would work too. Don't use defrosted raspberries, they are too soggy.
Instructions
(This section contains step by step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. Find the recipe card with ingredient amounts and nutritional information at the bottom of the post.)
Step 1: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs until pale, fluffy and doubled in size.
Step 2: Add the wet ingredients - yoghurt, melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract. Mix until well-combined.
Step 3: Stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and sweetener in a second bowl. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend.
Step 4: Check your muffin batter at this point. If it is too firm, add a splash of almond milk or a little more yoghurt.
Step 5: Carefully fold in the frozen raspberries using a spatula.
Step 6: Fill the muffin batter into a muffin pan lined with paper cups and smoothen the tops.
Step 7: Combine all streusel ingredients with a fork. Sprinkle over the muffins and bake until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Top tip
Let the muffins cool completely before eating. They are fragile when fresh out of the oven and firm up as they cool down. It's because of the lack of gluten in the nut flour.
FAQ
Yes, they are. Raspberries have the lowest amount of net carbs amongst all berries. 1 cup (123 grams) of raspberries contain only 6.7 grams of net carbs. On top of that, they are high in fibre, vitamins and antioxidants.
Of course. Reduce the oven time to 15 minutes and then test with a skewer for doneness.
Use coconut oil (or even olive oil) instead of butter and coconut yogurt instead of the dairy yogurt.
No. You can just leave it out.
Variations
No almond flour? Use my recipe for keto coconut flour muffins.
Pure almond flour raspberry muffins: Make these Grab & Go Low Carb Muffins.
Add a cream cheese filling: Stir together ½ cup of cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sweetener and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add a dollop on top of the batter and top with the streusel.
Boost the flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of zest. Or add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the streusel topping.
Storage
The muffins are fine at room temperature for a couple of days, but I always store mine in the fridge (4-5 days).
They are also great for freezing for up to 3 months.

This recipe is definitely a 5 PLUS. They rose and browned beautifully, the texture light and the taste was unbelievably good. My daughter and son in law unanimously agreed that they were my 'best ever' muffins. I have been following keto for 7 years, have followed you for about 5 of them and am still constantly amazed at the rate that you churn these fabulous recipes out. All flawless, all winners. Thank you Katrin.
Katrin Nürnberger
Thank you so much!!!!

These were unequivocally the BEST muffins that I have EVER tasted. Not only were they light, soft and fluffy, but so tasty with the steusal topping. Loved the batter mix, it was very different, the way it came together, and rose beautifully. I am at a loss for words to do these muffins the justice they deserve. Just try them. BTW had to sub sour cream for the yoghurt, and subbed blackberries as raspberry stocks were low. Love your recipes, and thanks for all your support.
Katrin Nürnberger
Thank you so much for your kind words! So happy you liked the muffins.
