Low Carb Muffins
In the days when I ate carbs, one of my favorite things for breakfast on a weekend was a delicious blueberry muffin. Now that I'm older and watching what I eat (since I'm no longer young enough to eat whatever I want) I make these Keto Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins.
They are so delicious that I don't even recognize that they're not the same muffin recipe I've been using.
I always feel like I'm going to melt right along with my butter when I pull one of these out of the oven in the morning. Not only do they have great nutrients to get your day started but, they're great as a dessert option as well.
They're also a great way to include healthy fats if you add butter to your muffin as I do.
How are these Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins Keto?
I made these low carb muffins with coconut flour and a keto-friendly sweetener.
The sour cream that's used in these Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins is a great healthy fat addition to your keto regimen. Blueberries are also a great source of antioxidants and overall, little powerhouses for nutrients. The carbs in blueberries are relatively low, so it won't throw you out of Ketosis.
Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins only take about half an hour to make from start to finish. Not bad for a delicious breakfast that can be stored and eaten for the next couple of days.
As I mentioned, I like these for desserts or snacks as well. I try not to eat too many snacks in the day since eating produces insulin. But these are a great option if you need that snack to help you through the day.
How To Make Keto Blueberry Muffins
- Lightly grease a muffin pan or use a silicone muffin pan.
- Mix together the coconut flour, baking powder, and Truvia.
- Make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and beat lightly.
- Add almond extract and stir.
- Add sour cream and make a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake the muffins until the tops have browned. Let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a rack to cool.
Tips and Tricks
- Coconut Flour. I've mentioned this in several other recipes, but coconut flour and almond flour are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Coconut flour absorbs way more liquid, needs more eggs, and a lot more fat.
- Finely ground. Use finely ground coconut flour like this one. Do not use shredded coconut instead.
- Testing for doneness. Sometimes, with coconut flour, it's hard to use the toothpick test to tell if things are cooked through. You could have a toothpick emerge clean--only to find the batter is still liquidy inside. Ovens do vary, so the first time you make these, here's what I suggest. Use the timing specified here. Then, break open a Blueberry Sour Cream Muffin slightly to see if it's done.
- Not Almond flour. Do NOT use almond flour for this recipe. I have a LOT of other keto desserts that are almond flour recipes.
- Blueberries. If you use too many blueberries, you will have to bake for much, much longer as the batter tends to be too liquid once they start to cook down. Also, be sure not to overmix the blueberries so you don't end up with smurf muffins.

Made this recipe today. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan. Some of the reason may be because I substituted monk fruit for the truvia. I looked up a conversion but the muffins were unbearably sweet. I also read some reviews that they are a little eggy and I have to agree. Not horribly so but maybe could use 1 less egg. I also had to bake for 27 mins to achieve doneness.

Is there anything that can be substitute for sour cream can not eat dairy

Easy recipe, but we found them watery and a bit eggy tasting. I did follow the recipe exactly so not sure if that's just the way they are?
