Sugar-Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins (Keto)

If you love muffins, but you want to stay away from sugar, gluten, and carbs, I have the perfect solution for you. These sugar-free lemon blueberry muffins are gluten-free, lectin-free, and keto friendly. They are also super easy to make, perfectly moist, and delicious.

These muffins were inspired by a recipe in The Plant Paradox Cookbook, by Dr. Steven Gundry: Lemon Poppy Coffee Cake (page 222-223). You will find the recipe in the book, but you can also check my review of this cake here:

This cake is still one of my favorite cakes I made, but it needed a few adjustments. While I was working on this review and had some spare blueberries that needed to be used, I made this muffin recipe.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This is a version of muffins made with 1 cup of frozen wild blueberries. They are darker in color.

Ingredients for the sugar-free lemon blueberry muffin recipe

These lemon blueberry muffins are made with a mix of almond and coconut flour, and they are sugar-free and low-carb. With only 5 grams of net carbs, they are perfect if you are on a keto diet. But they’ll be loved by everyone, on a diet or not.

When it comes to almond flour, I choose to go with organic flour, as conventional almonds are heavily contaminated with glyphosate.

You can use both fresh and frozen blueberries; just be careful with the added moisture from frozen blueberries. Don’t skip the step of coating the blueberries in coconut flour, even if they are fresh, as this will absorb some of the extra moisture.

Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of blueberries or up to 1 cup. When you go lighter on the blueberries, the muffins will be lighter and will have a more intense lemon flavor. If you go heavy on the blueberries, the color of the muffins will be darker. But they’ll both be delicious.

A note on the sweetener; I use 3 tablespoons, but if you know you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add one tablespoon more. My favorite sweetener is monk fruit, but you can also use allulose, a mix of erythritol and stevia (like Swerve), or even inulin powder. Just know that inulin powder has a less intense sweet taste so you might need more.

If you want to learn more about safe, low-caloric, natural sweeteners, you can check this article:

The lemon flavor in these muffins is not very intense, so feel free to add more lemon juice, lemon zest, and even a pure lemon extract. Adding one or two tablespoons of extra lemon juice will not affect the texture of these muffins.

Use a liquid oil for these muffins, not very strongly flavored, like avocado oil or MCT oil.

Ingredient list:

1/2 – 1 cup organic blueberries (fresh or frozen)

DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 (packed) cup blanched almond flour
1/4 (packed) cup coconut flour (plus 1 tablespoon for the blueberries)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt

WET INGREDIENTS:
3 pasture-raised eggs
3-4 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (other sweeteners work too)
1/4 cup avocado or MCT oil
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (in a can)
juice of 2 medium lemons
zest of 2 or 3 organic lemons
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)

How to make gluten-free and sugar-free lemon blueberry muffins

I love to make these muffins because they are super easy to put together.

Please measure the flour packed; otherwise, there won’t be enough, and your muffins will be too moist. Press down the flour with the back of a spoon or your hand and keep adding flour until you reach the 1 cup (or 1/4 cup) mark.

Depending on how big the muffin cups are and how much you fill them, you can make 10-12 muffins. If you have the big-size muffin forms, it will make 6-7 muffins.

Blueberry muffins
  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with 10-12 muffin paper cups.
  • If using fresh blueberries, wash and dry the blueberries and coat them in coconut flour. If you are using frozen blueberries, pat dry them with a paper towel and coat them with 1 tablespoon coconut flour. If you want lighter muffins, use 1/2 cup, if you want the more intense blueberry taste and color, use 1 cup.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Whisk the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl and combine with a spatula, without overmixing. You will get a solid, but light-textured batter/dough.
  • Add the poppy seeds, if using, and the blueberries coated in coconut flour and gently fold the blueberries in.
  • Spoon the batter into the paper cups and sprinkle some poppy seeds on top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until they don’t feel soft to touch anymore. If using more blueberries and especially if using frozen blueberries, the baking time will be about 40 minutes.
Grain free, sugar free, lectin free muffins with lemon and blueberries
This is a version of muffins made with fresh blueberries. They are less intense in color.

How to store these sugar-free lemon blueberry muffins

These low-carb lemon blueberry muffins can be stored in the refrigerator, in a closed glass container, or in Stasher bags. They can also be frozen and thawed at room temperature.

A perfectly moist and delicate muffin that is good for you.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 - 1 cup organic blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • DRY INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/2 (packed) cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 (packed) cup coconut flour (plus 1 tablespoon for the blueberries)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • WET INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 pasture-raised eggs
  • 3-4 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (other sweeteners work too)
  • 1/4 cup avocado or MCT oil
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (in a can)
  • juice of 2 medium lemons
  • zest of 2 or 3 organic lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin pan with 10-12 muffin paper cups.

2

If using fresh blueberries, wash and dry the blueberries and coat them in coconut flour. If you are using frozen blueberries, pat dry them with a paper towel and coat them with 1 tablespoon coconut flour. If you want lighter muffins, use 1/2 cup, if you want the more intense blueberry taste and color, use 1 cup.

3

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl; add the poppy seeds if using.

4

Whisk the wet ingredients in another bowl.

5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl and combine with a spatula without overmixing. You will get a solid but light-textured batter/dough.

6

Add the blueberries coated in coconut flour.

7

Spoon the batter into the paper cups and sprinkle some poppy seeds on top.

8

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until they don't feel soft to touch anymore. If using more blueberries and especially if using frozen blueberries, the baking time will be about 40 minutes.

Notes

The way you measure the flour for these is essential. The cups should be packed (press down the flour with the back of a spoon or your hand and keep adding flour until you reach the 1 cup (or 1/4 cup) mark. Coconut flour and almond flour tend to be fluffy so if you don't add enough your cake will end up being way too moist.

    I made these today and they were very tasty. I didn’t watch the time carefully toward the end like I should have and they got a little more brown than I would have liked. I also added 1/3 cup of swerve since I know you go light on sweetener and I probably should have added 1/2 cup as they still were more savory than sweet. I will definitely try these again and still enjoyed them very much! Thank you

      Yes, I think my website should come with a warning about sweetness haha. It’s funny because I do have a sweet tooth, I love having cakes so much, it’s just that my taste buds for sweet must be very sensitive. I remember I decided not to add sugar in my tea when I was about 9 years old, that was long time ago and didn’t have any access to internet, or any info about diets and all that. I have no idea where all that came from. But thanks for leaving the comment, that will remind other readers to add more sweetener. xx

    I swapped out the flour on this for what I had on hand (1 c of cassava and 3/4 c tiger nut) and they turned out amazing! Actually better I think than when I made previously with almond / coconut mix.

      Hi Rebecca, it’s funny, the first time I made the original lemon coffee cake from the PP cookbook (which was the inspiration for these muffins), I made it with tigernut flour and even added some cacao, so it ended up more like a marble cake but it was super good. Unfortunately tigernut flour gives me heartburn so I can’t use it that much, but it is one of my favorite flours for baking. Thanks for leaving a comment. It’s great that you just go with what you have, I do the same. Not having an ingredient never stopped me haha. xx

    Made them the other day absolutely amazing. After reading the ingredients my husband said to me: No butter, no flour, no dairy, NO sugar…will taste like “caca”. I wish i can add photo. After eating one he said … I can’t believe Im actually eating blueberries muffins that taste so much better than unhealthy ones… he ate two. Now i have to make them again…thanks so much:) the only ingredient i I did change was the swerve for two tbsp Stevia with Inulin.. I dont like when companies dont want to specify what “natural ingredients” means… Swerve doesn’t…

    A recipe that looks like the real deal! I had to substitute coconut flour with Cassava flour. Used frozen blueberries, thawed and dried then coated with almond flour. I increased the recipe to 4 tbsp. swerve and still not very sweet as mentioned if you like sweet try the 1/3 cup. The amount of lemon juice is not helpful as some lemons could produce a lot of juice. I got 3 tbsp. out of two small lemons, I suggest more.

    Hi i’ve made your recipe and dr p’s and i have a question about lemon flavor. I don’t get any! We are lemon poppyseed lovers in this house and both times that tang was misding. Also not sweet enough for me. But i know that i’ll figure that part out by experimenting with sweeteners and amounts. Both recipes are nice but a little bland. Any suggestions?

      Claudia
      September 25, 2018 at 10:21 am

      I guess is a question of taste, I heard people saying the Dr. G’s original recipe is too flavorful haha. I absolutely love lemon flavor, so I’d suggest go with more lemon zest (but not lemon juice). Double it if that’s what you like. Eventually, add a drop of food grade lemon essential oil? Be careful with the sweeteners though. The whole point of giving up sugar and sweet stuff is to reeducate your palate to not feel like wanting the sugar taste. Your brain doesn’t make the difference between tasting sugar and tasting sweetener, and once you feel the sweet taste you trigger a response from your brain that can affect insulin level in the same way as sugar. Try to gradually reduce the sweetness of your treats, your palate will need it less and less. I hope this helps xx

    The muffins tasted better than I expected. Mine came out little too dry and the inside even though was not sticking, felt a little undercooked. Can you please give a measurement for the lemon juice? Like someone said before the size of the lemons and the juice in it varies. Also, can you give some idea on the consistency of the dough?

      Hi Deepa, the dough for gluten free muffins, in general, should be pretty stiff, you need to spoon it in the pan. On average, one lemon has two tablespoons of lemon juice in it. If they seem undercooked you need to let them cook more, or add more flour next time (almond flopur needs to be pressed down in the measuring cup to make sure you get enough flour. I hope this helps.

Mine fell apart a little but I ate it when it was still warm and also only made 11 instead of 12 so that might be why.(I only had 11 silicon muffin cups) .

    Claudia these are Delish, I am sure they are perfect just the way you made them, but when I dont have ingredients in the house I substitute, and that benefits people who can’t use certain foods. I used 1 cup cassava, 3/4 cup tiger nut to replace the almond flour as 1 reader suggested, also for coconut milk I used 1/4 cup homemade almond milk and 1 tbs melted butter, used 1/3 cup monk fruit and had read your comment about 1 lemon being 2 tbs so I used 1/4 cup lemon juice along with 6 drops essential oil of lemon.
    I mixed it all up and still needed a little more thickness so added 1/4 cup almond flour. cooked to 210 degrees.
    this recipe seems so versatile can’t wait to try it with cranberries and orange zest
    thank you so much

      Hi Grace, thank you so much for sharing your suggestions. It all sounds perfect to me. I haven’t thought of adding lemon essential oil, but I’ll do it as soon as I get some food grade one. Which one did you use and was the lemon taste very strong?

    Hello so you have a substitute for almond flour for the muffin recipe by daughter has a nut allergy? I don’t bake a lot so not sure what a good substitute would be that would make the best muffin to replace the almond flour in this recipe. Thanks

      Hi Fleurette, generally, tigernut flour is a great nut-free substitute for almond flour. But this recipe was created for almond flour, so I have no idea about the result. Tigernut flour is nutritious, very sweet and flavorful, so it’s a great choice for desserts. It does have a downside though, it’s slightly gritty. So I usually mix it with other flours. I hope this help. -Claudia
