BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH ALMOND FLOUR (KETO, LOW CARB)

These blueberry muffins are soft and fluffy, great for breakfast or as a convenient snack. They’re only 3.5g net carbs apiece and will help satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.

They’re pretty straightforward to make, with all of the ingredients mixed in a single bowl. The batter is transferred to greased muffin tin liners, and they’re baked in the oven until golden on top.

These muffins are made with heavy cream; for sour cream muffins, check out these low carb banana bread muffins.

I decided to create my first ever gluten-free muffin recipe.  Although I don’t follow a strict gluten free diet, I have been intrigued by almond flour for quite awhile which just so happens to be the ideal wheat alternative for baking.

Of course, the million dollar question: “How do they taste?!”  If you’re looking for a moist, nutty and fluffy muffin that won’t go straight to your hips, this one is for you!

My boys eat these by the fistful and I’m right there with him.

It’s a good thing they are so healthy!
