This low carb muffin recipe round-up is for all of you low-carbers who are tired of eating chicken and eggs. There's nothing like a low carb pastry-like treat when you haven't had sugar in a while.
The thing I love about muffins so much is that they're easy to take on-the-go while keeping your portions in control. If it's made into a loaf of bread, then the entire thing is gone by noon! Well, that's the case for me. No. Self. Control.
I hope you enjoy these quick and easy recipes and experiment a little by changing and adding ingredients to your liking. Furthermore, you can always add nuts, seeds, flax meal, protein powder and/or extracts to give them a flavor or nutritional boost!
Since we can't eat cake, then let's eat muffins instead!

Yes, please!! The butter melting on these delicious warm low carb muffins is making me drool. Based on the reviews, Simply So Healthy has perfected this recipe, and I couldn't wait to share it with you. They have calculated only 4 net carbs per muffin.
Do these look super moist and delicious, or what? You would never guess that they are low carb. According to Keto Connect these little chocolate muffins only have 2 net carbs per serving. I think I can handle that!
Just 6 ingredients and 5 net carbs per serving for this lemony goodness! I can't resist anything lemon flavored, and the tartness of these muffins really hits the spot.
Bananas are certainly not something that you would think of as being low carb, but one banana divided between several muffins is what makes these muffins super moist, delicious and much lower in carbs than traditional banana bread (less than 6 net carbs per muffin). Moreover, you can buy a banana extract that will give you even more of a banana flavor with less of the guilt. I would also add in a few pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Strawberries are surprisingly low in carbs for how sweet they are, and make for the perfect natural sweetener on a low carb diet. They almost look like cupcakes, but with only about 5 net carbs! I wouldn't mind spreading on a little cream cheese for the finishing touch. 🙂
Cheese can pretty much make anything taste amazing (am I right?!), especially when it's combined with garlic and “bread”. Carolyn from All Day I Dream About Food has managed to create a cheesy low carb muffin recipe (less than 5 net carbs) that's still tasty with almond flour and sour cream.
These may be low carb, but there isn't any flavor missing here. I'm sure the kids would love these, too! The cornbread is replaced with a coconut flour blend, so they still have that slightly sweet cornbread texture and taste but with only about 4 net carbs per muffin.
Here's another great low carb muffin recipe from Divalicious because I can't think of a better way to sneak in some veggies. With only 3 net carbs per muffin, this low carb recipe is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or on-the-go snack that the entire family will love.

Chilling your muffin batter overnight in the fridge is the BEST thing you can do for amazing muffins. It makes them more moist, tender, and TALLER! It's very similar to chilling cookie dough, which if you know me you know I'm obsessed with chilling cookie dough.

That being said, the standard oven temperature for baking desserts like quick breads and muffins is commonly set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Setting your oven to this temperature will almost always produce a well-cooked muffin recipe.
Overmixing is a common problem with muffins. First combine dry ingredients, mixing well. Then combine liquid ingredients, mixing well. Finally combine dry and wet ingredients, by hand, using only 15 to 20 light strokes.
Eggs are responsible for giving baked goods structure, which means the amount you use directly affects the resulting texture. Using too few eggs will make your desserts dense, but using too many will make them rubbery.
When I was researching muffin recipes for #weeknightbakingbook, I discovered that muffins dome really well when first baked at a high temperature like 425 (F). Doing so encourages the baking powder in the batter to react faster, causing the muffins to rise more quickly in the oven.
If there isn't enough egg, your batter or dough may not be able to hold its structure or could end up overly dry or dense. On the other hand, if there is too much egg, your baked goods could lose their shape due to excess liquid, or have a rubbery (or even overly cakey) texture depending on the recipe.
The baker had forgotten to add baking powder. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate) and a mild edible acid such as tartaric acid.
Many muffin recipes use cooking oil instead of butter. Oil, being a liquid, distributes easily in the quick-mix batter and is readily absorbed into the baked muffin, producing a light non-greasy texture. Vegetable oil is ideal because its mild flavour doesn't compete with the main flavour of the muffin.
The first, most hands-off way to make your muffins pop (literally) is to let the batter rest. Make the batter, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the batter rest at room temperature for about 1 hour. If you're short on time, just 30 minutes can make a difference.
A one-cup serving of blueberries is around 18 grams of net carbohydrates, much higher than the other berries on the list. However, you could most likely fit one-quarter to one-half of a cup into your daily menu while staying in ketosis.
Blueberries are healthy and nutritious, and raw blueberries can easily be part of your keto diet — especially if you're counting total carbs rather than net carbs. However, dried blueberries and most food products made with blueberries will be too high in carbs for keto.
Berries are one of the few fruits that you can enjoy on a keto diet because of their relatively low carb counts. So, yes! Blueberries can be eaten in moderation as part of a healthy keto diet. Blueberries contain approximately 14 grams of total carbs and 12 grams of net carbs per 100g serving.
Over-mixing the batter. You'll know that you've done this if the muffins also turn out tough and chewy. This prevents rising because the gluten network is too tight to expand around the gas bubbles. Under-mixing the batter.
When the cell structure doesn't set, the air spaces created by the leavening in the recipe collapses, causing the muffin to sink. Oven temperatures vary over time. To insure the correct temperature each time you bake, always use an oven thermometer. The oven temperature in the recipe may not have been hot enough.
The fluffy batter is what gives cupcakes their soft, spongy texture. Muffins, on the other hand, are moist and dense. Another important difference between a cupcake and a muffin is that cupcakes tend to have more sugar and so they're a lot sweeter than muffins.
Overmixing is exactly what it sounds like: the process by which a dough or batter gets mixed too much, typically yielding dense, tough, or deflated baked goods. Overmixed doughs and batters may have an unappealing look or feel, which remain just as unappealing when they're baked.
