Healthy Blueberry Muffins: Low Carb Blueberry Muffin
Healthy Blueberry Muffins are great to have around when you are feeding your family. My daughter certainly loves it whenever I make muffins for her. Muffins are a great snack enjoyed by everyone partially due to their portability. Make a batch of Blueberry Muffins and another with Strawberry muffins while you are at it.
When eating keto everything tastes sweeter and for this reason these muffins are sweet without having to try too hard. I have found that when I am keeping my carbs low it does not take much to feed my sweetooth.
Healthy Blueberry Muffins made with Almond Flour
Almond flour is basically almonds ground into a meal or a fine flour. Almond flour is easily accessible because it can be purchased pre-made andmade at home with your food processor. For this recipe I used Almond Meal however a fine ground almond flour will work as well.
Almond Flour Nutrition
14g or two TBS of Almond Flour contains 5g of fat, 4g net carbs, and 4g protein becasue it is basically just almonds. Almond flour is an ideal low carb baking ingredient and it is for this reason I use it all the time. When baked into Blueberry Muffins there is no after taste that Coconut Flour often can leave behind.
Blueberries and a Keto Diet
Blueberries are an ideal choice for a low carb diet because of the low carb nature of the fruit.
One cup of fresh blueberries contains:
- 84 calories.
- 1.1 g of protein.
- 0.49 g of fat.
- 21.45 g of carbohydrate.
- 3.6 g of dietary fiber.
These Blueberry Muffins only require about a third of a cup of blueberries and when divided by 12, the carbs stay low.
