Why You Will Love These Keto Blueberry Muffins
These muffins made with almond flour are not only incredibly moist but also have a wonderfully light and fluffy texture, similar to my keto strawberry muffins.
One of the greatest things about these almond flour blueberry muffins is how simple they are to make. It’s all about stirring a few simple ingredients together, and like in all my almond flour recipes, you don’t have to be an expert baker to whip a batch of these.
Simply bring together some almond flour, eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, vanilla, and keto sweeteners, and in just half an hour, you can have a batch of these delicious low-carb blueberry muffins ready to enjoy.
Say goodbye to expensive keto muffins from the store, these low-carb blueberry muffins won’t make you spend hours in the kitchen but I can guarantee they satisfy your sweet tooth.
The Best Ingredients For Low-Carb Blueberry Muffins
All you need to make blueberry keto muffins with almond flour are:
- Almond Flour – Make sure you use ultra-fine almond flour with a thin texture and golden color. Almond meal is coarse, dark in color, and gives a gritty texture to keto muffin recipes, so I don’t recommend this option. Learn how to pick the best keto flours.
- Erythritol – any type of crystal keto-friendly sweetener works well, including a blend of monk fruit and erythritol.
- Large Eggs – Pop the eggs out of the fridge 30 minutes before baking to make sure they are not cold.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk – or any dairy-free milk of your choice like coconut milk or hemp milk. You can also use heavy cream, but the batter will be denser. Learn why regular milk isn’t keto-friendly.
- Baking Powder or half the quantity if you prefer using baking soda.
- Melted Coconut Oil – Melt the coconut oil, measure the amount required by the recipe, and cool down for a few minutes before adding it to the egg mixture. This prevents the oil from ‘cooking’ the eggs. You can also use melted butter if preferred. Butter is also keto-friendly.
- Vanilla Extract
- Fresh Blueberries – or frozen, both options work well. Note that frozen blueberries tend to color the batter slightly blue.
How To Make Keto Blueberry Muffins
It’s very easy to make keto-friendly blueberry muffins using keto flour and keto sweeteners. There are two ways to make moist blueberry muffins in keto recipes.
Either like in this recipe with almond flour or with coconut flour. For the latter, read my Keto Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffin Recipe.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the wet ingredients: large eggs, melted, cooled coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until it forms a thick muffin batter. Don’t expect the batter to be as thin as regular muffins. Almond flour blueberry muffins batter is always thicker, and it’s what you want to make the best keto blueberry muffins.
- Now fold the blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Fill a lined muffin tray with grease paper cups up to 3/4 their level.
Tips To Bake Keto Blueberry Muffins
- Don’t Overbake – Bake your muffins for 22 to 28 minutes. The baking time depends on the size of your muffins and the oven mode. Almond flour blueberry muffins brown and burn faster than regular flour-based muffin recipes.
- Test The Baking Process Carefully – Watch out for the color of your muffins. They should be golden brown, and a pick inserted in the center of the muffins should come out clean. If the batter sticks to the pick, keep baking in 5-minute chunks until they are cooked through.
- Cool Down On A Rack Immediately – Keto muffins with berries must be cooled on a cooling rack immediately, or they get too moist. Cool until they reach room temperature. It takes about 30 minutes.
Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins Flavor Variations
You can use this keto blueberry muffin recipe to create a range of blueberry muffin flavors like:
- Keto Lemon Blueberry Muffins – Add one teaspoon of lemon extract in the batter and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Keto Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins – stir in 1/3 cup of sugar-free white chocolate chips while you add the blueberries.
- Blueberry Nut Muffins – Stir into the batter 1/3 cup of chopped pecans or almonds.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common problems in baking blueberry muffins, keto or not. Sometimes, the blueberries sink to the bottom of the muffin cup.
To avoid that, use fresh blueberries, or roll the frozen blueberries into 1 tablespoon of coconut flour before adding them into the keto muffin batter.
The coconut flour is high in fiber and soaks the moisture around the blueberries, preventing them from sinking in the muffin tin.
No, you can’t replace almond flour with the same amount of coconut flour in any keto recipe. If you want that, make my keto coconut flour blueberry muffins.
It has been tested to deliver moist and fluffy keto muffins using coconut flour only.
Sure, you can use this keto blueberry muffin recipe to create different berry muffins like keto raspberry muffins or keto boysenberry muffins.

Cannot belithow easy these are to make and how delicious they are
Thank you so much for these recipes
Thank you!!
These are amazing! First I made then I made a single batch. The last two times I’ve doubled them and pop in the freezer. I pull out one in the morning. Heat it up and have with my cup of hot tea! These are my favorite!
Love these muffins/cupcakes! I made a cream cheese frosting instead of the buttercream with swerve confectioners sugar and they were so good. Dense but the cream cheese helps moisten them. My husband even liked them and he is definitely not keto! Lol
How can I make these egg free as well? What would be a good substitute?
Unfortunately you can’t, most keto baking recipes required eggs to bind low carb flour together
These are delicious, but curious why they’re supposed to bake for 35 minutes since the recipe seems to be exactly the same as your strawberry muffin recipe (except uses blueberries instead), and those only bake for 22-25 minutes. I baked these for 35 minutes (without checking them, unfortunately) and they turned brown like bran muffins, and they were compressed in size. (My only variation was using an allulose/stevia blend as the sweetener.) Luckily, they still tasted great, but I wonder if they’d be better after only 22-25 minutes. Next time I make them, I’ll be checking them much earlier!
You are right I updated the recipe regarding your remark, I appreciate that !
I made these and used fresh blueberries. The muffins are delicious, moist and satisfying. This was my first time baking with almond flour. Thanks for this recipe.
I made your raspberry mini muffins and they are amazing. Now you said in that recipe that avocado oil can be substituted for the coconut oil. Can I use the avocado oil in this recipe instead of coconut as well? If so I can’t wait to make these 🙂
Yes usually you can swap one by the other. Just keep in mind that avocado oil is more flavorsome and sometimes makes batter a bit greenish and denser.
Super recipe Carine, thank you so much! I put too many blueberries in mine and they are a tiny bit soggy, but superb nonetheless and that is entirely my fault! Your recipe is just great! Mine rose really well too, at least half as much again. I did mine in large muffin papers, so they look professional! I got 9 out of the mix and they are big (well big in the UK at least!) I added a teaspoon more pure vanilla paste and they taste divine.
What I’d like to know is, why of why in the UK do we not have cafe’s and shops selling low carb/keto alternatives like this? They do gluten free after all. Having gone low carb as a family 6 weeks ago, I’m just loving this new lifestyle. Having found Fibreflour (www.lonjevity.co.uk), its revolutionised our lives as using that flour you can have really low carb proper, real bread!! I’m actually thinking of starting a cafe, with a high proportion (if not 100%) of low carb goodies! Thank you Carine, you are so kind to share these wonderful recipes with us!
We don’t have much cafe providing keto/low carb options here in New Zealand, hope it comes soon. Thanks for trying my recipes, XOXO Carine
So easy! They rose impressively and are moist and tasty. I added a sprinkle of erythritol sugar and slice almonds on top for a sweeter crunch. A family favorite now, thank you!
(Loved the pics of your daughter eating a muffin!)
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! My kids love these muffins and we them all the time, I will try your ideas of sprinkling erythritol on top. It sounds delicious. Enjoy the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine
These turned out perfect! They are very moist and the level of sweetness is just right. Two thumbs up!
I am trying these in the morning for breakfast. They look awesome. Thank you.
Thanks ! I am so happy you love them, XOXO Carine
Inlove with your blog!
oh thank you SO much. I am so happy you find my blog ! I hope you will find some recipes you like! XOXO Carine.
Hi!!
Do these freeze well??
Hi, yes sure, I freeze any muffins in zip plastic bag up to 2 months. Defrost the day before or even only 1 hour before for mini muffins. Enjoy the recipe. xoxo Carine.
where are the almonds in the recipe? they are shown in the pictures, but no instructions are givn & they are not listed in ingredients…
Hi
I did not mentioned the silvered almonds in the recipe because they are very optional. I am not addi g them into the batter. What you see on the picture is simply 1 teaspoon of silvered almonds that I sprinkled on top of the muffin before baking them I the oven. I like the extra crunch it gives to those simple muffins. You can also use sliced almonds if you like. Enjoy the recipe! See you soon on the blog. Carine.
