Sweetened with Erythritol
Being a fan of keto means you have to get creative on ways to sweeten up your recipes while keeping those carbohydrates low. I used erythritol in this recipe, and it was the perfect way to give my keto strawberry muffins some sweet factor. They were excellent, and not overly sweet.
If you have other keto approved sweeteners, you are welcome to swap it out. Just make sure you convert the measurements right, so you don’t end up with an off amount of sweet in these muffins.
Can You Have Strawberries On Keto
Yes. It is all about moderations. Strawberries are a fruit that you can have here and there. Blueberries are a higher carb count, so it is something you need to watch out for. But no fear, strawberries are safe on the Ketogenic diet.
Can I Use Frozen Strawberries in Replace of Fresh
You can use frozen strawberries or fresh in this strawberry muffin recipe. Just thaw the berries first, and make sure there is no added sugar to them. Then dice small and use them.
The only thing to note on frozen strawberries is it will color your batter. So if you don’t want swirls of red color, reach for fresh fruits.
How To Make Strawberry Low Carb Muffins
Start by lining your muffin tin with liners, and then preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Then in a stand mixer or hand blender beat your eggs, vanilla, almond extract, almond milk, and butter together. You want to whip it up for around two to three minutes or until it is nice and creamy.
Next, grab a new bowl and combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and erythritol. Mix until well combined.
Slowly pour in your dry to wet ingredients and mix until creamy. Turn off your mixer and then fold in your strawberries and mix with a spatula.
Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full and then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
How Can I Tell If My Low Carb Muffins Are Done
Take a toothpick or knife and stick in the center of one of the muffins. If it comes out clean showing no batter, your muffins are done. You will also, see they are a golden brown color, and when you shake it gently the pan the muffins don’t move.
Just make sure not to overcook, or they will become dry.
Can You Freeze Keto Strawberry Muffins
Absolutely! Just allow your muffins to fully cool and then place in a freezer friendly container and place in the freezer for up to three months. This is an excellent way to prep your breakfast or snacks for later on down the month.
To use then remove however many muffins you want from the freezer and allow to thaw before serving. If you don’t have the patience, pop in the microwave for a few seconds!

Thank you, these are wonderful. I may have to double for next time. What I liked is the light color. I chopped up frozen berries and heat them up to release some juice. Looking forward to trying more of your fabulous recipes.
