Ingredients Needed
Making the best keto blueberry muffins is actually quite easy with common ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour: this is a blanched almond flour 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, which are some of the best ingredients, but fresh or frozen can be used in this recipe. You can also use regular-sized blueberries. The point is to embrace that blueberry goodness!
- Butter: I’m using salted melted butter 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. Be sure to use your favorite 1:1 sugar substitute.
- Avocado Oil Spray: I’m using this to grease the muffin pan, but you could also use butter or round parchment paper liners to help the muffins lift out of your pan easily
- Sour Cream: Keto Blueberry muffins with sour cream? Yes! Sour cream adds so much moisture to the muffin. You can also use equal amounts of Greek yogurt, heavy cream, or unsweetened almond milk.
- Egg: I used large eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Sea Salt

- Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs
- Add extra flavor with lemon: If you want, add a little bit of lemon zest to the batter for a lemon blueberry keto muffins. Adjust the amount(s) based on your personal preference.
- Switch up the topping: these include a three-ingredient glaze, but you could top this delicious blueberry muffin with sugar free whipped cream
- Best at room temperature: keto muffins can firm up after being refrigerated. Simply heat these for a few seconds in the microwave if you wish.
How to store leftover easy keto blueberry muffins
If you have any leftover low carb blueberry muffins, the best way to store them is in an airtight container in the refrigerator for next time (up to 5 days).
You can also freeze these and leave them in the refrigerator overnight to enjoy them the next day.
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.
Regular muffins (like Traditional blueberry muffins) have at least 67g net carbs. One of the reasons why is because they include all purpose flour. My keto blueberry muffins have 5g net carbs.
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.
Yes. Even though I used fresh, juicy blueberries in this recipe, frozen blueberries would work.
