Tips and tricks for keto sour cream blueberry muffins

Here are a few important tips for these yummy blueberry almond flour muffins

• You can blend the batter in a food blender and stir in the blueberries or you can blend it all. This will give a nice purple color to the muffins.
• Make sure you use paper liners or a silicone muffin tray. This way they will not stick.
• If greasing the tin, do so with some butter. Other types of oil like coconut or cooking spray may cause the muffins to stick.

• When making blueberry muffins with sour cream you should know that sour cream will add notes of tanginess to the muffins that will enhance the flavor of the muffins like buttermilk. If you do not want this, you can use a substitute like unsweetened almond milk instead.

Ingredients to make low carb blueberry muffins

• 1 cup blanched almond flour
• ¼ cup granulated Swerve
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, softened
• 3 tbsp sour cream (you can also swap with unsweetened almond milk or another suitable milk substitute for muffins)
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 tsp vanilla, optional

How to make keto blueberry muffins with sour cream

To start, gather all of the ingredients you need to make these keto muffins in one place. Also, preheat the oven to 350F and line a 6-hole muffin tin with paper liners.

 

 Next, in a bowl, combine almond flour, Swerve, and baking powder.

 

Then add the eggs, coconut oil, sour cream, and vanilla if using, and stir well to combine. While all of these wet ingredients listed here will add some moisture to the batter. If you find that your batter isn’t as moist as you’d like add an extra tablespoon of water or almond milk to make it a little thinner. The muffins will be fluffier for it.

Lastly, fold in the blueberries.

 

Spoon the keto sour cream blueberry muffin mixture into paper liners. This recipe will make six muffins.

 

Bake the blueberry muffins for 20-22 minutes and cool on a wire rack before serving.

 

How to store keto sour cream muffins 

These low carb blueberry muffins will keep out of the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze them for 2-3 weeks. Thaw and reheat in the oven at 300F when you’re ready to enjoy them.

 

Recipe substitutes for sugar free blueberry muffins

You can substitute with any nut-based flour or even make these with protein powder rather than almond flour. 

You can also use any kind of berries such as raspberries or strawberries. Make sure to chop or slice the strawberries before use. 

Also, instead of berries, you can add slivered almonds to the muffins. Or combine the almonds with the berries. They will give a nice crunchy texture to your muffins.

Keto blueberry muffins with heavy cream

You can also make these into keto heavy cream blueberry muffins if you like. Heavy cream is richer and fattier than sour cream, but it works just fine. 

3 tablespoons of sour cream can be swapped out for 3 tablespoons of heavy cream.

How to make blueberry muffins with coconut flour?
