These Low Carb Sugar Free Keto Blueberry Muffins with Almond Flour are SO tender and moist! Hard to believe they are healthy and gluten free!
Yep. Another blueberry muffin recipe.
Because the 1094039 paleo blueberry muffin recipes AND healthy whole wheat blueberry muffins that you can find on Pinterest are not enough right?
Actually, that IS RIGHT. Because those paleo blueberry muffins are not T-H-E-S-E muffins.
These little gems, bursting with fresh, sweet and JUICY blueberries with this perfectly lightly-crisp outside and tender, moist, yet CHEWY inside are pretty much one of the best keto muffins that I’ve made. Even rivaling the chocolate chip keto low carb muffins.
I mean, truth be told, I love ALL muffins and would consider myself a muffin inclusivist. If you put oatmeal applesauce almond butter muffins, easy healthy gluten free carrot cake muffin or paleo chocolate muffins in front of me, I wouldn’t say no.
But, put these? GOING. TO. TOWN.
Why this is the BEST Keto Blueberry Muffin Recipe
Have you tried my whole wheat banana muffins with chocolate chips? Or perhaps my strawberry oatmeal rhubarb muffins? Seriously, with ALL of the delicious muffin recipes to choose from here on the blog, might as well just call me the muffin woman! Today’s low carb muffin recipe is a keeper, and it is also keto friendly- perfect for those following the keto diet or who simply want to cut down on carbs. These muffins are moist and delicious, bursting with blueberry goodness AND loaded with protein! They are the perfect breakfast or snack anytime of day.
Ingredients you will need
To make these keto muffins, you’ll need a handful of wholesome ingredients. Using better-for-you ingredients doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to tasty flavor and perfect texture, though- remember that! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Almond Flour
- Coconut Flour
- Baking Powder
- Sea Salt
- Baking Soda
- Monkfruit
- Coconut Oil
- Large Eggs
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Vanilla Extract
- Fresh Blueberries
How to make Keto Blueberry Muffins
Spray
Spray the muffin pan generously with COOKING SPRAY. This is KEY!
Mix
Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl, and beat all the wet ingredients in another bowl.
Combine
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the blueberries. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes. This allows the coconut flour to start absorbing the moisture!
Bake
Divide them into muffin cavities. I like to try to use my fingers to evenly disperse the berries! Bake at 350 degrees until they are done!
DEVOUR
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, and then on a cooling rack to cool COMPLETELY! Serve and enjoy!

Top tips for the BEST Low Carb Blueberry Muffins
Be sure to use cooking spray when spraying the muffin cavities. If you rub coconut oil on the cavities, the batter will soak it all up and the muffins will stick to the pan!
Let the batter sit for a bit once you finish mixing it. This is important as it will allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture and will result in muffins that are moist!
Why I used Almond Flour
I decided to use almond flour for these blueberry muffins because it bakes really well. It also has a delicious nutty flavor that compliments the blueberries. Coconut flour, used in large quantities, can leave you with mushy textured muffins so do not try and use that instead of almond flour!
Keto Blueberry Muffins FAQ
I recommend using fresh blueberries to make these muffins, however frozen should also work well as long as you do not thaw them beforehand. Just toss them in frozen!
These muffins will be done after about 24-25 minutes in an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. When you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean, you can be sure that they are done!
Absolutely! These muffins freeze really well and will last in the freezer for a few months if properly stored. The perfect easy snack or breakfast to thaw and enjoy!
Store these muffins in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container. If you want them to last longer, toss them in a freezer style zip lock bag or in a freezer safe airtight container for up to 3 months!

Ingredients
- 3 Cups Almond flour (300g) *
- 4 Tbsp Coconut flour, packed (32g)
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 3/4 Cup Monkfruit (or granulated sweetener of choice)
- 7 Tbsp Coconut oil, melted
- 3 Large Eggs, at room temperature (this is key)
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2/3 Cup Fresh blueberries, (105g) **
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin pan with oil spray. ***READ NOTES
- In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the monkfruit, coconut oil, eggs, applesauce and vanilla until well blended.
- Stir in the almond flour mixture, along with the blueberries until well combined. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can begin to absorb the moisture.
- Divide by 12 muffin cavities (I like using a big ice cream scoop so that the muffins cook up with really domed tops!) and bake until very golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 24-25 minutes.
- Let cool for 15 minutes. Then, gently run a knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen them. Then, let cool COMPLETELY in the pan before trying to take them out.
- DEVOUR!

I made this and it was delicious! I used 1/2 cup of Pure instead because I couldn’t find the Monkfruit. The muffins were super moist and tasty. They didn’t taste like typical keto pastries. I’m definitely going to try this with the Lily’s Chocolate chips! Thanks!!!
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! Glad you liked!
Ash says
How much is half cup of applesauce in grams please?
Taylor Kiser says
I don’t know – feel free to weigh it
Ashley says
Just stared a low carb/low sugar diet and these were very good! Probably a silly question, but the nutrition facts above state 9.5 carbs. Is this per muffin or per batch (so divide by 12?). I made mine with Stevia rather than monk fruit, how much would that change the net carbs? Thanks!!
Taylor Kiser says
Per muffin!
Feel free to plug it into My fitness pal or something similar to figure that out. I’m not low carb 🙂
Elaina says
This recipe is awesome, I normally don’t post comments but I just had to because I have been baking a storm trying to find yummy recipes low carb and a lot of them are ok but this is delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay!!! So glad!!
Kim says
I made these and they are delicious and my 10 year old loved it and he is a very picky eater.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! I’m so glad!!
Lizabella says
Hi! Excited to try but why do you use Coconut Oil which is full of saturated fat? what would work as a substitute please?
Taylor Kiser says
Coconut oil is still a very healthy fat. Feel free to use avocado oil – they will lack some flavor though.
Brandi says
We love these in our home and have made them every week since we found them about 6 weeks ago! Is it possible to replace the coconut oil with olive oil instead? If so, do you know what the conversion would be?
Taylor Kiser says
Olive oil might make them taste odd! But you can replace it exactly. I haven’t tried this so I can’t promise it’ll work or taste good
Brandi says
Ok! Thanks so much!

So, this is one of those comments where I made it but changed it. BUT only because my grocery store was out of some items and I had no desire to drive around to find what I needed. I can’t wait to make these as the recipe is written because my version was pretty darn good and I bet the actual recipe must be amazing. Below is what I changed for anyone in my same boat. I am not Keto but do track macros. My changes are higher in carb but in line with what I needed for me.
Used oat flour (Quaker oats in the food processor and reduced to 250g)
Increased applesauce until the texture seemed right.
Used stevia, but cut to 1/2 cup because I don’t care much for the flavor of stevia
They were a tad crumbly with my forced modifications, but I’m not a baker and have no idea what I would have changed to fix that.
Anyway, I look forward to trying these as written when I can get all the necessary ingredients.
Taylor Kiser says
Thanks for sharing Jenn! Would love to know when you do make these as the recipe is written! 🙂
