    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    I'm going to admit that out of all the types of baked goods muffins are near the bottom of my list. If I had a choice between a cookie, a brownie, a slice of cake, cheesecake, and a muffin you better bet that muffin is the last pick. Unless it is one of these healthy blueberry muffins with crumb topping. Adding the crumb topping makes this low carb blueberry muffin recipe straddle the divide between being a muffin and being a crumb cake. It is healthy enough for breakfast or a snack but indulgent enough for dessert with a cup of tea.

    These are based on the Cranberry Orange Muffins and Pumpkin Muffin Recipes I made last fall. Whenever I want to bake something new I look back at a few of my older recipes and combine and tweak as necessary to vary the taste.

    Dairy-Free Blueberry Muffins

    When I decided I wanted to make a blueberry muffin recipe for my blog I knew two things. The first was that I wanted it to be dairy-free (I'm trying really hard to break my weight loss stall after my fall baby arrived last year) and that it needed a crumb topping.

    Low Carb Blueberry Muffin Ingredients:

    • almond flour
    • coconut flour
    • baking powder
    • sweetener
    • coconut oil
    • almond milk
    • eggs
    • vanilla
    • lemon extract
    • blueberries

    How to make low carb blueberry muffins?

    My method is super simple. I just process the batter ingredients in the food processor, divide between paper-lined muffin cups, and top with some blueberries. After that, I make a crumb topping, add that on, and then bake.

    Expert Tip: You can omit the crumb topping if you want to save a step and cut back on the calories or carbs. They are delicious with or without it.

    Can I mix in the blueberries?

    To keep the carb count more accurate after making the batter and scooping it into the muffin tin with a large cookie scoop I divide the blueberries between the muffins. That way I'm positive there is a blueberry in every bite.

    How to Make Crumb Topping

    After making the muffin base, you pulse the crumb topping ingredients in the same food processor (no washing necessary!) and scatter the crumbs on top. Pop the tray in the oven and about 30 minutes later you have delicious healthy low carb blueberry muffins.

    Tips & Substitutions:

    Berries - You can absolutely make these with another type of berries. Blueberries are the highest carb berries so subbing in raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries will reduce the number of carbs per muffin by a gram or two.

    Coconut - Another option is to top the muffins with coconut flakes instead of the crumble. This simplifies the recipe and can also reduce the carbs because coconut flakes have fewer carbs per ounce than almond flour.

    Ingredients

    Cake Ingredients:

    • 1 ¼  cups  almond flour
    • ½ cup  coconut flour
    • 1  tsp  baking powder
    • ½  cup  Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
    • ½ cup  coconut oil melted
    • ½  cup  almond milk
    • 4  eggs
    • 1 tsp  vanilla
    • ½ tsp  lemon extract
    • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

    Topping Ingredients:

    • 1  cup  almond flour
    • 2  tbsp  coconut oil
    • 1 tbsp  Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
    • 1 teaspoon gelatin
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350.
    • Add all the muffin ingredients (except the blueberries) to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Divide between the prepared muffin tins. Divide the blueberries between the muffins and press down slightly.
    • Add the topping to the food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Do not process too long or it will turn into a dough. Scatter the crumbs on top of the muffins.
    • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. If the crumbs are getting too brown you can loosely cover the tray with aluminum foil.

    Notes

    If you'd like to reduce the carbs or calories you can leave off the crumb topping OR just make these into muffin tops by having the batter and baking in a muffin top pan. That way you still get the crumb topping but reduce the carbs by almost half.
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
