How many carbs in blueberries?
Blueberries are a low carb treat as they are not the lowest carbs of the berries. They have 12g net carbs per 100g but that's still a decent amount of berries.
How to make keto lemon blueberry muffins
This is an easy one bowl low carb muffin recipe. To make these tasty muffins you will need:
- Almond flour
- Butter
- Eggs
- Low carb sweetener (I used allulose but any other low carb sweetener can be used)
- Lemon
- Blueberries
- Muffins staples - baking powder and salt
To achieve a light fluffly muffin when using almond flour you need to whisk the butter with the sweetener and eggs well. I use an electric hand whisk and don't stop until I see air bubbles in the mixture. The more air that is in the muffin batter, the lighter the sponge.
The remaining dry ingredients are added, whisked until smooth, then the blueberries are folded in. You don't want squashed blueberries, so be gently stirring them in.
Recipe Tips
If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen can be used. Fold the frozen berries directly into the almond flour batter and do not let them defrost. This helps prevent any colour bleeding into the muffins.
Freeze these muffins and enjoy them throughout the week! Once completely cool, place the blueberry muffins into an airtight freezer bag and place in the freezer. They should be good for 2 months.
