Let's make some Keto Blackberry Muffins!

If you're on a low-carb or paleo diet, you may feel like you're missing things like bread, muffins, loaves or cookies. Following a diet without grains can be challenging, but luckily there are lots of options available to make your favourite foods without resorting to using grains.

These Ultra Moist Keto Blackberry Muffins may fill that gap for you.

Do they have the same texture as a muffin made with all-purpose flour and sugar? No, of course not. But for me, they're a good substitute.

And once you make this low-carb muffin recipe, you might also like to make this easy Keto Blackberry Bread. It's a similar recipe that's just as tasty!

The blackberry bushes in our area were loaded with fruit this year. We picked several buckets during the last few weeks. I froze them on trays, then transferred them to small 1 cup bags to use for muffins and smoothies.

And now they're readily available either fresh or frozen in supermarkets. While it's always best if you can pick your own wild blackberries, it's great to be able to buy them year-round, too.

🛒Ingredients

finely ground blanched almond flour sifted, then measured
granulated 0-calorie sweetener like Monkfruit. Use coconut sugar for paleo diet
gluten-free baking powder
Pink Himalayan salt
coconut oil or melted butter
almond milk or other plant-based milk of your choice, unsweetened
eggs
pure vanilla extract
fresh or frozen blackberries, or other berries

🥄Instructions

These Keto Blackberry Muffins are quick and easy to make. You'll find detailed instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post.

You'll need two bowls, one large and one small.

First, you MUST sift the blanched, superfine almond flour. If you just scoop it from the bag, the muffins will be dry and heavy. Sift, then use a spoon to overfill a measuring cup, then level the top with a knife.

Combine the SIFTED blanched almond flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt in the large bowl. Gently add the blackberries to the dry ingredients. Adding them to the dry ingredients helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Whisk eggs, coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla in another, then combine and spoon into 9 or 10 lined muffin cups. Pop them in the oven and they'll be ready by the time you have your dishes cleaned up!

❓Commonly asked questions

Are blackberries low-carb?

As I described in my post about Quick Sugar-Free Blackberry Chia Seed Jam, some nutritionists consider blackberries to be the new "superfood." Bursting with antioxidants, blackberries are rich in Vitamin C. They're also an excellent source of fiber and Vitamins K and A. Not only that, they may even promote brain health!

And with only 5 net carbs in 100 grams, blackberries are a good choice for a low-carb diet.

What kind of sweetener do you use for Keto recipes?

For Ketogenic recipes, I like to use Lacanto Monkfruit Sweetener with Erythritol (or Swerve). They are granulated like sugar and can be used as a 1 to 1 replacement. They're also available in Golden varieties that are similar to brown sugar and as confectioner's sugar. Both are 0-calorie, zero net carbs, non GMO and non-glycemic (so they don't raise your blood sugar.) However, Swerve can leave a cooling aftertaste, so Lacanto Monkfruit is my favourite choice.
For Paleo recipes, I use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar as erythritol is not permitted.

🔁 Possible Variations

No blackberries? No problem. You can use other berries in this keto recipe.

This low-carb muffins recipe works equally well with blueberries or raspberries, too! Or try these sugar-free Gluten-Free Cranberry Lemon Muffins. They're keto and paleo-friendly, too.

🥶Storage and freezing instructions for Keto almond flour muffins

Muffins made from scratch may not last as long as store-bought muffins, as they have no preservatives. They will last at room temperature for a day or two, but after that they are best stored in the fridge.

I line an airtight container with a piece of paper towel, place the muffins on top of it, seal and store in the fridge.

These Paleo and Keto muffins freeze very well. Store them in an airtight container with paper towel as described above and freeze for 3 - 4 months or more. Let them thaw at room temperature, or gently reheat them in the oven or microwave.

I hope you try this keto blackberry muffin recipe soon! They're moist, tender, and slightly sweet with a blackberry in every bite. One muffin totally satisfies and will leave you feeling full.
