Can I eat muffins on a low carb diet?
Muffins are usually so high in carbs and sugar that it’ll kick you out of ketosis in a blink of an eye. But, if you enjoy baking and have some simple ingredients on hand, you can bake low carb muffins that are perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. While you can make any kind of muffin with this recipe, we decided to fold in chocolate chips because we love chocolate. Try this recipe with our sugar free chocolate chips– even our keto peanut butter chips would be a hit.
Why use muffin liners when baking low carb muffins?
Muffin liners help keep your baking dreams from becoming nightmares. It’s true that some keto muffins can stick to the pan, even when it’s well greased, so we suggest using a liner to keep that from happening. We really love silicone muffin liners, but paper or foil liners are great options as well.
How do I avoid over baking my muffins?
There’s nothing worse than an over baked muffin! What some people don’t know is that muffins continue to bake while they’re cooling off outside of the oven. That means some folks don’t take the muffins out of the oven early enough, which causes them to be dry and overly crumbly. To avoid dry muffins, poke with a skewer and if it comes out mostly clean, then they’re ready to go.
Why don’t my muffins brown on the top?
Did you know that almond flour doesn’t brown easily? That’s why some keto bakes don’t brown like their wheat flour counterparts. This low carb muffin recipe also doesn’t use sugar, which is naturally prone to helping the browning process. The good news is that these keto chocolate chip muffins will turn a very pretty golden brown, which means they’ll still have that crispy muffin top that is essential to a perfect muffin.
Customize your low carb muffins with nuts.
Do you like a little crunch with your chocolate chip muffin? Feel free to fold in some walnuts or almonds to make this recipe a little more nutty. You can also use our no sugar added white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts or a mix of sugar free peanut butter chips and dark chocolate chips for a peanut butter cup muffin.
