These Keto Pumpkin Muffins are a spin off of Gluten-Free Palate’s Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins. With so many pumpkin recipes being shared, I saved them for this fall hoping to talk you into adding them into your breakfast rotation.

I named these keto muffins Low Carb Pumpkin Muffins instead of Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Muffins because the pumpkin spice is optional. Not everyone likes pumpkin spice but they like the added benefits of pumpkin in their baked goods. You can choose to add in the pumpkin spice or leave it out of these muffins.

Keto Pumpkin Muffins

These low carb pumpkin muffins are considered to be keto because of the low net carb count. The carbs in these keto pumpkin muffins come from the almond flour and the pumpkin. The sugars used in this muffin recipe are alcohol sugars and don’t count towards the total net carbs. Just make sure to use a sugar free sweetener and sugar-free chocolate chips.

Are chocolate chips keto?

If the chocolate chips are dark chocolate, high cocoa with no sugar, or they use a sugar free sweetener they are accepted on the keto diet. Many food bloggers and recipe developers use Lily’s chocolate chips. If you don’t want to use chocolate chips you can leave them out or use cocao nibbs.

When you first make this low carb pumpkin muffin recipe I recommend you make it as-is, with no substitutions, before you start changing it up. I recommend this with every recipe so you can learn how the recipe works before you modify it.

Tips for working with almond flour

One thing to note about using almond flour is that it is NOT a 1-to-1 for gluten-free 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 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.

Almond meal and almond flour are not the same thing, they are processed differently and almond meal includes the almond skins. This keto pumpkin muffin recipe works with both almond flour and almond meal.

Can I use an egg replacer?

I haven’t tried using an egg replacer in this sugar-free pumpkin 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 the muffins didn’t rise as much.

What can I use instead of Sugar-Free Maple Flavored Syrup?

You can use your sugar free syrup of choice in this healthy pumpkin muffin recipe. Just note that the flavor will be different. Maple flavored syrup tends to be mild in flavor while still adding a touch of sweetness. I haven’t tried Swerve in this recipe yet but when I do I will come back and update this post.
