I am a sucker for any sort of baked good. Donuts, muffins, breads, cakes, pies, etc- you name it, I probably have or will eat it! And some people think that Keto takes away the option for you to have all of those things that you love – but I’m here to tell you, it does NOT! Keto isn’t about deprivation. You don’t have to deprive yourself of the foods you love, you just have to learn how to make them – and the more I learn about Keto and make things, the easier it gets!
This muffins are a win in my book. They are moist, sweet, and perfect for breakfast, snack, or a dessert. Anytime you are in the mood for something sweet! The flavor is amazing. I think it is in big part to the almond extract. It gives a very distinct flavor that is oh so good!
Now I call these the Keto ‘Berry’ muffins because you can really use any berry you want in them. You may just need to adjust the nutritional content (or maybe even add in a little more sweetener if your fruit is more on the tart side). Having said that, I think everything is perfect as-is for strawberries. That is my favorite fruit and the one I used for these muffins.
Most of the stuff needed for these are staples in any Keto-ers kitchen. Here’s you supply list:
- almond flour
- baking powder
- Xanthan gum
- Lakanto granulated sweetener
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- almond extract
- butter
- unsweetened almond milk (I recommend vanilla)
- berry of your choice (highly recommend strawberries!)
- muffin tin
- paper liners for your muffins
- hand held mixer or stand mixer
This recipe is pretty simple (per my usual!).
To get started, preheat your oven to 350. You’re going to use two separate bowls. One to mix the dry ingredients and one for the wet ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients until creamy, then add the dry ingredients. Then either mix the strawberries in by hand or on low.
Place the paper liners in 10 of the muffin wells and divide the batter among the 10 liners. Each one should be 2/3 – 3/4 of the way full. Don’t overfill unless you want a mess in your oven! Bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. And now try not to eat all of them!!
Oh, and did I mention — only 2 net carbs per muffin!
