Why Make This
- Low-carb swap: if you enjoy blueberry muffins bites or blueberry muffins generally, then you’ll enjoy these as a grain-free, gluten-free, 5g net carb alternative
- Make-ahead for breakfast meal prep or snacks on-the-go: I make these at the beginning of the week and store these in the refrigerator or freezer.
Ingredients Needed

- Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour: this is blanched and has the skins removed. I love this one because it is superfine – something that allows these to have a texture more similar to blueberry muffins baked with regular flour.
- Bob’s Red Mill Xanthan Gum: this helps to give the muffin some structure. I’m using it as a binding agent. If you don’t have it, several other Bob’s products make good substitutes for Xanthan Gum.
- Bob’s Red Mill Baking Powder
- Blueberries: I’m using fresh jumbo blueberries, but fresh or frozen can be used in this recipe. You can also use regular sized blueberries.
- Butter: I’m using the salted kind and prefer it for baked goods. For a dairy-free option, you can use ghee, butter flavored coconut oil, or avocado oil.
- Keto Sweetener: I’m using the granular variety, but powdered would work as well
- Avocado Oil Spray: I’m using this to grease the skillet, but you could also use butter or round parchment paper to help the cookie lift out of your pan easily
- Sour Cream: this adds moisture to the muffin. You can also use Greek yogurt or unsweetened almond milk.
- Egg: I used large eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Sea Salt

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs
Are blueberries keto-friendly?
Berries, strawberries and raspberries, are generally a low carb fruit option. Compared to those, blueberries have a bit more net carbs per serving.
However, blueberries have a lot of health benefits, including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. So, people tend to incorporate them into their keto journey and make room for them because those are the types of carbs worth having.
How many carbs are in a blueberry muffin?
Traditional blueberry muffins have at least 67g net carbs. My keto blueberry muffins have 5g net carbs.
Is almond flour keto approved?
Yes – almond flour is low in carbs but also grain-free. I personally enjoy a range of almond flour recipes like keto pancakes, keto cornbread, and keto waffles.
Can you use frozen blueberries in muffins?
Yes. Even though I used fresh blueberries in this recipe, frozen blueberries would work.
