Earlier this month, I traveled up to Baltimore for the annual Natural Products Expo, which is basically a foodie’s dream weekend.
Imagine a giant convention where thousands of your favorite healthy food companies all offer you free samples of their newest products, many of which haven’t even hit stores yet.
I spent the weekend sampling nut butters, brownies, breakfast bars, paleo waffles, cauliflower pizza crust, raw chocolates, vegan mac and cheese, and at least seven different brands of dairy free gelato or oat milk ice cream.
(Two weeks later, I’m still seeing mocha oat milk ice cream in my dreams…)
There were three predominant food trends I noticed at the conference: cauliflower, Oat Milk, and everything keto.
Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins
The keto trend reflects increased consumer demand for low carb or sugar free products, and I’ve recently been receiving a similar demand from readers to post more keto-friendly recipes.
I know the keto diet can be a super polarizing subject—with people either loving or hating it—and therefore today’s healthy flourless muffin recipe can easily be keto OR non-keto, whichever you prefer.
If you do choose to make them keto, the muffins have just 1.5 net carbs per serving and just 1 Weight Watchers smart point each.
To Make Them Vegan:
These low carb muffins are easily vegan if you use one of the numerous vegan egg options on the market – I’ve successfully made them with Bob’s Egg Replacer, or you can make your own flax eggs.
If you go with the Bob’s version, simply stir together 1 tbsp of the powder with 3 tbsp water and use that as the egg called for in the recipe. The muffins will rise and look just like they would if you used a real egg!

The recipe was adapted from these Keto Muffins.
Keto Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol, or 1 tbsp sugar or stevia equivalent
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 large egg, including the vegan options listed earlier in the post or 1 flax egg
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup blueberries
- optional pinch cinnamon
Instructions
- *Mini muffins will have a lighter texture, but you can definitely make regular-size muffins if you prefer. The recipe yields 4 regular-size muffins.Preheat oven to 350 F. Line or grease a mini muffin tin very well. Stir all dry ingredients very well, then add all remaining ingredients except berries. Scoop into the muffin cups – I added a little batter, placed a few berries per muffin on top, then covered with more batter. You could also just press a few berries into the top of each muffin after filling with batter. Bake 13 minutes on the center rack (or 17-18 for regular-size muffins). Remove from the oven and let cool an additional 10 minutes, during which time they continue to firm up. Carefully go around the sides of each muffin with a knife and pop out. Or if you’ve used liners, they peel off easily after sitting for a day.View Nutrition Facts

I’ve been wanting to make blueberry muffins for my hubby but needed a flourless recipe. I trust you, so I was thrilled to see this in my email today! I had all the ingredients and made them in a jiffy. Perfect! We love them!!! Thank you! 🙂
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much for making them!
Anamika @ Supplement Crunch says
These look a-ma-zing! I really liked your recipe, I’ve never tried black bean desserts but I really want to!! That first picture looks amazing!!!
Cheryl says
Wow, those look absolutely delicious. I love that they are gluten free whch is getting to be harder and harder to find unless you make everything yourself. I have a teammate who needs a gluten free diet and we have been looking into the Keto diet.
Joshua Howard says
Wow! The best muffins ever! I made them with almond milk and the taste was awesome! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Kathryn says
These are so good! Maybe it was just that my berries were sour, but I needed a little bit more sweetener. Otherwise, they were delish!
Lisa says
My first batch was the same. I love sour though so I was happy. Tonight I used sweeter blueberries.
Brandi says
Can we sub the almond flour? There is an allergy! Looks great though!
Lisa says
I love this recipe. So simple and delicious. I love how they are not too sweet – perfect for breakfast. I have made them twice – once as mini muffins and tonight I doubled the recipe and ended up making 9 regular size muffins. I added 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Jason Sanford says
Those look so good!!
Maria says
Mine wen eep in the middle
Cassie Autumn Tran says
Wow, these muffins look phenomenal! I’d love to recreate these at home. Sadly, I need to purchase a new bag of almond flour to do so, but it would TOTALLY be worth it from the looks of this batch!
Anj Gacuma says
is the nutrition info for the mini muffins or regular? thanks
Laura Chakeen says
Are each of the regulate size muffins 1 1/2 carb or is that the count for the mini muffin?
Christie says
Tried these and they are great! Although they don’t look as pretty as the picture. Could be a little sweeter, so will bump up the sweetener or add vanilla next time. Also pretty salty for my taste, so will omit the salt. Might also try adding in some lemon essential oil.
Heather says
This was my take, too. They’re a smidge too salty and not quite sweet enough to compensate. I’m thinking more blueberries, less salt, and lemon zest for my next batch. Maaaaybe a little more sweetener. I used vanilla almond milk, unsweetened, which I think was part of my problem. Milk is sweeter than unsweetened almond milk!
DanaS says
Katie, are you no longer vegan?
Jason Sanford says
Katie is still vegan 🙂
Shelley says
LOVE LOVE LOVE these muffins!! Made them the first time tonight and they are so easy to make and taste great! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Cin says
I’m allergic to almonds. Any suggestions for an almond flour alternative?
Jason Sanford says
Pecan flour works! https://amzn.to/2uzWJ3T
Rowena says
Soy milk
Rowena says
Sorry I thought you were asking for milk alternative *argh*
MollyD says
Seems like the cook time for the larger muffins is a bit off. 18 min, still gooey in the middle.
Jason Sanford says
I think it just depends on your oven, climate, specific ingredients used, etc! Mine always take less than 18 minutes but I am at low elevation and have a calibrated oven.
Jason
Kristin says
I made these today, and they were delicious! I will definitely make again, doubling the recipe, because they went fast. Thanks for sharing!
Paula Wallace says
We made these and they came out salty tasting. Do you know why???
Jason Sanford says
Hi, I have never noticed that with these so the only things I can think of are – either a mismeasurement of the salt (happens a lot to me with ingredients!) or maybe you are just more sensitive to the taste/flavor of salt than some others like me? If that’s the only issue and you otherwise liked them, it’s perfectly fine to use less salt next time, because it wouldn’t affect the texture of the recipe 🙂
Jason
Tara says
These came out great when made exactly per the recipe. Almond flour has a way of making things grainy which is what my kid didn’t like but I made them into mini muffins and filled them with blueberries and others with chocolate chips. I thought they were quite good.
Desha says
I’m new to gluten free cooking and baking. I’m trying sweeteners to see which ones really gives me the taste of sweetness. I tried this recipe with Swerve Granular, put extra Swerve and still they weren’t sweet enough. I am tasting from badly trained tastebuds so I’ll try the recipe again using a different sweetener. Other than the sweetness debacle, the muffins were great.
Mary says
Can u use frozen berries?
Jason Sanford says
You can! Thaw first 🙂
Lily says
Hi, have a question re calories. In the nutrition ingredients section, it says 16 servings and 40 total calories per serving. I tried adding it to myfitnesspal automatic load from the web. And it shows me 4 servings (like in recipe) and 188 total calories per serving and 12g carbs. Is this correct?
The recipe is amazing and very tasty. Which I’m very greatful for sharing it. But i wish to know the exact intake of calories and carbs in this case as I’m following a diet and the ingredients list is very misleading (16 servings are not even possible from that small amount of dough).
Please, if 188 calories is the correct number per serving.
Jason Sanford says
Hi Lily, I think maybe you are trying to make full size muffins? The nutrition facts are for the mini muffin version (the size of the ones in the photos). Hope that helps!
Jason
Lily says
Hi Jason, thank you for your reply. I was doing exact measures like in the recipe. And it comes 4 small madffins.
Lily says
Hi Jason, thank you for your reply. I was doing exact measures like in the recipe. And it comes 4 small madffins.
Jason Sanford says
Hi yes, the recipe will make 4 regular sized muffins or a whole batch of mini muffins the size of the ones shown in the photos. Hope that helps!
Teesha says
Followed the recipe to the T and had 4 delicious and healthy regular sized muffins! Thanks for the quick and easy recipe.
MsFitz says
I was looking at the recipe for Pineapple muffins, for the keto version it said to use the blueberry muffin recipe just substitute pineapple for blueberries. So would that be 2/3 cup of crushed pineapple?
CCK Media Team says
It works with 2/3 cup small/diced pineapple 🙂
Tai says
These were very good…better than I expected. I will be making them again.
Red Valerian says
These are pretty good, though mine tasted just a little raw (though they were starting to brown on top). I tripled the recipe to make 12 regular-sized muffins. (Who wants only four?!?) I used a little less salt than called for. Everything else was exact.
They were easy and ticked all the boxes for a small socially-distanced garden party with people of all different food preferences. Thanks!
Chelsea Bridgewater says
I’ve been wanting to make these and they did not disappoint. Did have to bake them probably more like 20 minutes but they were moist and sweet.
Desteni Felton says
I doubled the recipe to make 9 regular sized muffins. I used heavy cream and a small amount of almond milk together for the milk of my choice. I added all the dry ingredients first then the wet ingredients. I used frozen blueberries and added them into the batter, crushing them in. I put a dot of butter on the top before baking them in paper baking cups. It took about 30 min to cook maybe a little more. I just kept checking the middle with a knife until it came out mostly clean. Great taste!
Lacey says
These were very easy to make, with good texture and they were moist. I felt they needed to be a little sweeter, they reminded me of a corn muffin, so maybe I would would add to that next time. Otherwise very good and definitely a keeper.
Theresa says
These came out awesome! They are delicious and completely guilt free
Shelly says
What if we have a nut allergy, can we substitute almond flour for something else
CCK Media Team says
This one is nut free: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/healthy-blueberry-muffins/
Dani G says
If you’re not keto try tigernut flour. It is a tuber not a nut and is paleo approved. I find it works pretty much 1:1 for almond flour.
Emanuela Togni says
I made 6 mini muffins and they took 17 mins to cook but I had to switch the fan off in the last few mins as they were burning on top but looked raw in the middle. Also I put 97g sugar which should have been the equivalent of the amount of erythrol in the recipe but they were too sweet
CCK Media Team says
Hi, I’m not sure where you got those measurements or what you mean by fan but 2 tbsp of powdered sugar only weighs about 15 grams, nowhere near 97.
Donna C says
Convection ovens have a fan to circulate the hot air for more even baking/cooking
Penny says
These muffins have an amazing taste! As much as I love them, they did come out a bit dry for me. Is there anything I could add or use less of to fix this? (I used all of the ingredients listed- powdered erythritol and regular milk and baked them for 15 minutes as they were a little bit larger) Sorry to bother ): My friend and sister are both diabetic and I love to try recipes for them ❤
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi what flour did you use? Thanks for making them 🙂
Upma Dhingra says
Hi Katie.. just want to know if we can sub fresh blueberries for canned ones? And can any other fruit be used as well in the same recipe?
Thx n lots of love!
Upma
Chocolate Covered Katie says
I haven’t personally tried but don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Joyce Aydiner says
Why oh why can’t all measurements be in weight instead of cup sizes? What size cup, small, medium, large? It really puts me of any recipe that is in cup fulls.
Jamie says
Hi Joyce ~ 8oz equals 1 Cup
Jenn says
I baked 4 small muffins for 18 minutes and they are super wet inside. First time using almond flour, is the consistency supposed to be different than a regular muffin?
CCK Media Team says
Hi! It is supposed to be different (much more fudgy!). But not wet – just bake yours a little longer and they should be fine 🙂
Erin says
I agree!!! Will experiment with the next batch.
Erika maxwell says
Can you tell me your math on 1.5 net carbs per serving? Total carbs- fiber is the correct calculation, right? Making this for my keto friends and they don’t believe that a muffin is 1.5 net carbs. I am using almond flour, almond milk, real egg and erythritol.
CCK Media Team says
Hi there, just be sure to not count the carbs from the erythritol in net carbs, and note that the 1.5 net carbs is for a mini muffin 🙂
Erika Maxwell says
So 1 single mini muffin is 1.5 net carbs?
AutumnInNEwYork says
Total – fiber – sugar alcohol = net
Ann Hilling says
Nice texture and taste of coconut despite o coconut flour used. Will definitely make these again very similar to my old recipe but much healthier
Ugo says
Added flaked almonds, chia seeds and a teaspoon of vanilla to mine. Swapped milk for double cream. Increased carb count but not by much and tastes amazing!
Amanda says
I followed this recipe to a T and they came out dry. BUT all is well because to me, it tasted more like corn bread, and I love corn bread!
CCK Media Team says
Hi! So glad you liked them :). Did you happen to use coconut flour instead of almond?
KimW0 says
Made these this afternoon and really enjoyed them! I used 5T of monk fruit sweetener since the reviews indicated they were not very sweet. I also added 1t vanilla and a splash of lemon juice per other reviews and will definitely make again!
CCK Media Team says
Thank YOU so much for making them 🙂

Christine says
I loved making these this weekend!!
A couple changes –
I doubled the recipes and it made 6 mini loafs (equal to about 5 mini muffins each)
I added just 1 tbsp of stevia powder and thought it was too sweet – next time I’ll probably switch vanilla extract for sweetener
I used frozen mixed blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
I baked for 18 minutes and probably could have gone to 20 or 22 – it was just slightly mushy near the berry bits 🙂
Heidi says
These muffins came out great. I am two months into Keto and was dying for some sort of baked good. I will definitely make these again.
Richard says
I left this also on your Youtube but didn’t know if you monitored it regularly.
Success!!! If you only knew. lol. Tried your recipe and made 4 “regular-size” muffins. Could not have gone better.
I added about 1/3 tsp of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp of vanilla. I believe I can sweeten then up a just a bit more for my personal preference. But they’re fine as is.
Today an order of 12 silicone cake cups arrived. I used those inside a nonstick muffin pan. Not even a hint of “stick”. I checked, expecting the worst, after about 2 hours of cooling. My cooking time was 25 minutes @350 F.
Bless your little heart. I greatly appreciate you sharing this, along with so many other recipes, tips, etc with the world.
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much for trying them! This makes us so happy 🙂 🙂
Isabel says
Just made these for the first time. I had already tried a similar recipe for blueberry muffins using almond flour, but I wanted to try this one because it had no butter nor oil in it. Also, because of that, I used liners in order to avoid greasing the pan. The batter was enough for 6 regular-size muffins with 8 blueberries each, I filled the pan till about 2/3-3/4 of the height of the slots and the dough grew out of it during baking. They came out great. Next time, I would add a like bit more sugar and a little vanilla.
Kate says
Five star, thank you! I doubled the recipe and added some vanilla and cinnamon. I’m excited to have a little something to have with my coffee in the morning.
CCK Media Team says
Thank YOU for making them 🙂
Cindy says
I love to make blueberry muffins I would like the recipe for making them thank you Cindymaki924 @gmail

I would like to get the recipes for blue berry b muffins pls thank you
Rachel says
Wow!!! This is amazing!!! I was not expecting it to taste so good. In fact, I like it better than regular blueberry muffins. It’s so filling too. What a find!
CCK Media Team says
This makes us so happy 🙂
Anna says
What are the nutrition facts?
Anna says
Also you should totally make an app version of this website for phones if you haven’t already 🙏
Paula says
Has anyone turned this recipe into a loaf?? How did it go? I have the ingredients but not a muffin pan lol
Jennifer says
Can one make their own almond flour using almonds?
CCK Media Team says
Yes, I would just google to find someone who has written up instructions how 🙂
Jane says
These muffins are really good! I have made them at least 4 times. I make the regular size muffins so double the recipe so that they make 12
CCK Media Team says
Thank you for making them 🙂 🙂
Charlie Williams says
These are delish!!! So easy to make !! Definitely be making on regular basis 😍
Z. says
For some reason mine came out super soft and I’m still waiting for them to firm up in the oven. I made the vegan recipe so I wonder of the extra moisture from the flax egg is the reason why.
CCK Media Team says
Thank you for trying them! The vegan version should take the same amount of time – what other specific ingredients did you use? Is your oven calibrated? And are you at a high elevation or in a very humid climate? In the end, how did they turn out?
Kristin says
“4 regular sized muffins“ = 4 cupcake tin sized “muffins”. Great tasting, but definitely not muffin sized by any means.
Virginia says
I’m just about to make these and am nervous about using 1/2 tblsp of baking powder. I would have thought 1/2 tsp was about right?
CCK Media Team says
Hi, it’s correct – be sure to use baking powder, not baking soda (which is measured in much smaller amounts)
Tina says
I chose to try this recipe because I’m wanting to lower my fat intake a bit. Just made a batch of the mini blueberry muffins this morning and tasted one. No, two. Ok, three. I ate 3! I did as a few others suggested by using a bit more sweetener and adding some lemon zest. I also added a dash of vanilla. These are now my favorite blueberry muffin. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much for making them!
Jan Trahan says
These are absolutely delicious, bursting with blueberries. The almond flour gives them a soft delicate flavour of creamy nut flavour, I’m gonna try to make these with 1 raspberry and a few blueberry’s.
These lovely little bits are company worthy
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
Dani G says
I just made these with cashew flour and cashew milk( almond sensitivity). I Used a pinch of vanilla, a pinch of lemon, 1/8 tsp salt and a 3 tbsp mix of Lakanto monk fruit sweetener and swerve. I used a duck egg and I added thawed frozen blueberries. I baked the mini muffins for 18 minutes but could’ve gone 20 as they were a bit mushy on the bottom. They seemed a little eggy probably because duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs. Next time I’ll use a regular egg. Hopefully they firm up in the refrigerator. Overall a good recipe for a sweet keto snack.
Deb says
These Blueberry muffins were awesome. Even my husband loved them. This is my go to from now on. Love them and so fast and easy to make.
CCK Media Team says
Thank you for making them 🙂
Diane says
I started a vegan Whole30 plan this week and thought I was going to starve. Lol
These are awesome for breakfast. I used chia egg.
I have also substituted blueberries for walnuts and added a lot of cinnamon. ♥️
Thank you for this recipe.
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much for making it 🙂
Amy says
These were great. My daughter was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and cannot have gluten. That is not difficult for me to cook for her with all my Keto recipes. She tried these and loved them. She did not notice the sugar substitute. I had to keep her from eating them all and to leave me some. I made them with chocolate chips. I’m going to make blueberry ones tomorrow.
CCK Media Team says
