These light keto strawberry muffins are made with almond flour, making them a gluten-free muffin too. The flavour combination of strawberry and vanilla make this a great summer muffin. ย
Perhaps for an afternoon tea or something to eat whilst you watch the tennis as Wimbledon. Or you can just munch the lot in one evening as we did under the guise of taste testing!

I stepped away from my beloved coconut flour and make muffins from another low carb flour for a change! These strawberry muffins are pretty to look at and tasty to eat. Almond flour was used and the result is a very light muffin full of the flavours of summer.
LOW CARB MUFFINS
I used honey for the initial batch which made the muffin very moist but was not carb friendly. So another batch was made with a sugar substitute which was just as delicious. I used almond flour that is basically ground blanched almonds. The muffin batter will be very runny, but don't panic..it cooks well into a moist muffin!
I will have to try and make these with my beloved coconut flour but if you are going to try this I would recommend that you increase the eggs and add a dash of extra water to keep the mixture as moist as this recipe.

I am fairly new to Keto and these were the second muffins I made. I made them exactly as stated. They were VERY moist ( wet). My husband did not like them at all. I ate the last one today. I will still look for a really good recipe. My first blueberry muffins were very dry.
Angela Coleby
That's disappointing to hear as others have had good results.
Susie
Can I make these dairy free, with df butter?
Angela Coleby
I've not tried it but I can't see why not. The texture of the muffins might be more heavier.
Bethany Kelly
I used smashed banana instead of sugar and only one cup almond flour and one and a quarter cup all purpose flour to even out amount of fat and carbs. I loved them!! Thank you!!
Kim
I usually do not use Almond Flour. I find things come out very heavy and pretty dry. These were not dry! I ate one while it was still warm. YUMMY! One little thing I added..... 1/8 cup of sugar free chocolate chips. Chocolate covered strawberries anyone!!!
Thanks for the recipe... I will be making them again.
Angela Coleby
I'm delighted you liked them! The addition of chocolate chips are a great idea!
Katie
Is this recipe able to made in a loaf, rather than muffins?
Angela Coleby
I can't see why not. I'd keep an eye on the baking time though as you may need a bit longer. Let me know how it works out!
Yvette
Hi can I use coconut flour? Thanks!!
Angela Coleby
You could but reduce the amount to about 1/2 cup.
Rayford Henslee
They smelled awesome, nice looking, but dry
Felicia
Hii!! How long do these muffins last?? And what is the best way to store them?
Angela Coleby
Store them in the fridge in a tupperware box or keep them covered and they should last up to 3 days.
Danna
How much is being scooped into each muffin cup? It looks like 1/2 cup per muffin from the video.
Angela Coleby
I'd say between 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup.
Fatima
Can I use brown sugar instead of Erythritol?
Angela Coleby
Yes you can. Keep the quantities the same.
Sarah
Can you please confirm whether it makes 12 regular size muffins so the nutritional information can be confirmed? Iโd rather have a muffin sized one of course lol but want to be sure Iโm tracking correctly. Thank you!
Angela Coleby
It is 12. I've updated the nutritional information in the recipe card.
Ian
I have just made these but completely forgot to add the water. They were still lovely and moist so when I make them again I don't know whether to add the water or not.
Angela Coleby
Leave the water out if the mixture is fine without it.
Evelyn
If Iโm using honey instead of the sugar substitute how much should I use? Thanks!
Angela Coleby
I'd try about 1/2 cup of honey.
Lily
I made these and substituted sweetener for honey and water for coconut milk. They turned out so good! Iโm so glad that I can still have my โsweetsโ after going on a low carb lifestyle change!
Jill
Can I just use regular sugar instead of a substitute?
Angela Coleby
Yes you could.
Dawn LePage
Just made for the first time. My batter hasnโt to be scooped into the muffin tins and I filled each liner up to almost the top but still got 12 muffins not six. Are they supposed to be jumbo muffins and not cupcake size? Just wondering so I can get a true idea on the caloric information. All that being said โ-they are SOOOOOO good!
Angela Coleby
I might have to remake this to see what quantities I get!.
Fabyolla
I just made these and got 12 full cupcake size โmuffinsโ out of it too. Theyโre just cooling out of the oven. I canโt wait to try them with a cup of coffee.
Angela Coleby
Great to hear! Hope you enjoy them!
Shawna
I got these in the oven now. They smell and look great. But I'm confused. In the recipe it says makes 6, then it says makes 12. I got 10 but probably could've been 12. So which is the true count and the right nutritional info?
Angela Coleby
It should be 12. 6 was the old recipe which has now been revised.
CL
could pillsbury gluten free flour be used? I have a child with severe sensory issues and he struggles with almond flour and coconut anything ๐ Thank you!
Angela Coleby
I can't see why not!
Kristen
Thank you so much for this recipe! My husband and I are on our 2nd week of the keto diet and I'm missing my muffins and carbs! Your muffins hit the spot!!! They are absolutely delicious.
Angela Coleby
Thanks Kristen!
Amanda
Can I use soy flour instead? Thatโs all I have
Angela Coleby
I've never baked with soy flour so can't speculate
Kristy
If using xylitol, how much would I use? Still 1/4 c?
Angela Coleby
Yes, still 1/4 cup.
Rebecca
When making these I used stivea for the sugar substitute and my batter was not runny and the muffin it's self came out dry. Any suggestions on how to change that?
Angela Coleby
Perhaps another egg and some coconut milk?
Jess
I just made some and my batter was also not runny. Letโs hope these turn out ok.
Amanda
I subbed coconut oil for butter and your honey for your sweetener . . . I didn't think so but could these be the reason I got a very slack mixture? All of my berries sunk to the bottom, probably the result of having a slack mix. Also, I got 12 full muffins out of the recipe. You mentioned getting 6, yes? Any suggestions?
Angela Coleby
It might be the oil as many years ago I did bake these with honey and they were fine and fluffy. Perhaps use a bit more almond flour next time?
Angelina
Great recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I made a couple adjustments you may want to try...I used 1/8cup water and 1/8cup of lemon juice and right before putting them in the oven, I put about 1 tsp of cream cheese in the middle of each. Had to bake a few minutes longer but they are awesome. Kinda tastes like a little shortcake. Also, I was able to make 12 with your recipe. Do you happen to know the nutritional info for each with 12?
Angela Coleby
Glad you enjoyed them.
Sara
Hi there. The water and egg quantities aren't included in the ingredients list. Fingers crossed that my guessing works but I wanted to let you know!
Angela Coleby
Hi Sara, I just updated the recipe format for this and these did not come across (I was distracted by a cat wanting to be spun in my office chair. I need to close the door!). The recipe is updated and many thanks for letting me know!
Angela Coleby
btw - love, love, love your email address!! ๐
Chris
These look great. Could you please tell me how many carbs per muffin
Linda Lauver
Why are these muffins considered Paleo when they have dairy in them?
Divalicious
Erm, Linda, these are not marked at Paleo...
Sherll
What can I substitute for honey?
Divalicious
If you don't want to use another liquid sweetner, such as Agave, perhaps use Erthyritol or Xylitol but use some extra water to keep the mixture moist.
Beth Hunter
Sounds yummy! How many muffins does this make? TY
Divalicious
About 8 - hope you enjoy them!
Kim
All I have is coconut flour at the moment...can I use it instead?
Divalicious
Yes, you can BUT use a lot less coconut flour than the almond, and add some more liquid. If you need me to redo this for you with coconut flour, let me know and I'll put something together for you.
Kim
That would be wonderful! I'm very new to using these alternative flours, but I'm learning ๐
Cayla Pitts
Could I also get the recipe for the coconut flour? I'm allergic to almond :'(
Oleanna
Whatโs the recipe with coconut flour? Or how much coconut flour do I use for this?
Angela Coleby
I've got a similar recipe but it's not yet published. However, if you take this coconut flour recipe, add chopped strawberries to it, it will work out nicely.

Hi there, I see you say baking powder in the ingredients list but then say baking soda in the directions, Could you please clarify which one it is? ๐ Thank you
Divalicious
It's powder. Thanks for spotting this, the recipe is now corrected. Hope you enjoy it!
thislilblogofmine
They were wonderful! Thank you for posting the recipe! ๐
Divalicious
So glad you enjoyed it!
Rachel
These came out moist and have a great mouth feel, but they aren't very sweet (at least to my palate). I will probably try these again, but add a smidge more erythritol.
Angela Coleby
The husband has a sweeter taste than I do too!
