Low Carb Muffins

Are you looking for a simple, healthy low carb muffin recipe? One that you can whip up in less than five minutes in the morning?

I appreciate easy recipes, especially ones that I can throw together in a flash. Mornings tend to be crazy with getting ourselves ready and shuffling the kids out the door for school.

Depending on what we did over the weekend, I try to bake up a batch of these low carb muffins Sunday night.

These low carb chocolate chip muffins only take only a few minutes to throw together, and can be done baking by the time I get out of the shower (I don’t take super long showers).

I often eat eggs and veggies for a low carb breakfast option. But sometimes I want to switch things up to keep breakfast interesting.

Plus, anything that's grab-and-go and something my kids will eat is a bonus. I’ve been relying on these low carb muffins lately. They are packed with healthy fats and protein.

What can I use instead of monkfruit sweetener in low carb muffins?

You can use any low carb or sugar free maple flavored syrup in this low carb muffin recipe in place of the monkfruit syrup. Just note that the flavor will be slightly different.

I have not tried making these low carb muffins with liquid stevia, or any other drop sweetener.

Working with almond flour in low carb muffins

This low carb chocolate chip muffin recipe was developed using almond flour. One thing to note about using almond flour is that it is NOT a 1-to-1 for other flours or coconut flour.

It has a lot more protein and fat, and less starch, so it reacts differently in recipes.

It’s best stored in the refrigerator or freezer if you’re not going to use it up in a week or two.

Always bring Almond meal or flour to room temperature before baking almond flour muffins with it. If you use it cold, it’ll absorb more of the liquid and your batter will be thicker than it should be.

And remember, because it’s made from almonds, it can go rancid, so keep track of when you opened the bag.

Can I use an egg replacer in keto muffins?

I haven’t tried using an egg replacer in this keto muffin recipe because of the amount of eggs that it calls for. I have had others comment on similar recipes that chia egg and flax egg worked well, but these keto chocolate chip muffins didn’t rise as much.

Can I use almond meal?

Both fine ground almond meal and blanched almond flour work in this low carb chocolate chip muffins recipe. The blanched almond flour gives a more tender crumb in these keto muffins.
