How to make keto lemon blueberry muffins
- Combine dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cream the creamy ingredients – Cream together coconut oil, butter and cream cheese.
- Stir in powdered sugar free sweetener and sour cream. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Then stir in dry ingredients.
- Toss in fresh blueberries and fold in.
- Pour into muffin liners in a muffin tray and bake.
- Make lemon glaze and top on freshly baked keto blueberry muffins.
Key ingredients & substitutions
- Almond flour & coconut flour – The best combination of keto flours is almond flour and coconut flour. Together they form a flour that is closest in consistency and taste to all-purpose flour. This blend is my favorite gluten-free flour combo because they are readily available at most supermarket too.
- Butter & coconut oil – The fat added to these muffins to help make them moist and spongy.
- Cream cheese – Used to neutralize the flavor from the almond flour, coconut flour, eggs and coconut oil.
- Sweetener – Powdered sugar free sweetener works best since it dissolved fully in the muffin batter. Look for one that measures cup for cup with regular sugar.
- Sour cream – Used to neutralize the nut flours, coconut oil and egg flavor in this recipe. The combination of the acid from the sour cream and the baking powder will also help these muffins rise. To substitute sour cream, use Greek yogurt instead.
- Eggs – Use for structure and to help puff up these muffins to give that a perfect muffin top.
- Lemon – For the best lemon flavor to the muffins use fresh squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest. However, bottle lemon juice will work and so will lemon extract.

I absolutely Love Love Love this recipe and so does my mom, husband and mother-in-law. Thank you for sharing it. Next I’m trying the pumpkin spice granola.
I have attempted the keto diet many times and always fail. I am once trying once again as we go into 2021. I have been watching your youtube videos and studying your recipes on your site. I made these lemon blueberry muffins today and they are wonderful!! Maybe with some of your recipes and tips, I will finally be successful. Thank you so much.
I’m in a rut too. Again trying. This start over is really a test of the wills.
I’m curious as to how this would taste with raspberries in place of blue berries
I like these better with Raspberries!
These were so delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
These muffins are intensely lemony but so delicious when you are craving sweets! Glad I made them and will do so again!
These came out PERFECT and are DELICIOUS. Finally some KETO recipes that make you feel like you’re living in the real world, only healthier! Keep recipes like this coming and include the nutrition on all. Thank You!!!
We really enjoyed these a lot. I added a little zest to the frosting too! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I was recently diagnosed diabetic and these look great for a treat for me! Is it possible to freeze these or do half a recipe?
You can definitely half the recipe. I haven’t tried freezing them but it should freeze okay.
Thank you so much for this recipe, you have changed my life and I graciously want to thank you. I have needed something like this, I’ve lost 23 pounds and I was stalled, these were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much
OMG!!!! Okay I’m starting off on keto–only been on it for a little over a week. Was craving something sweet, but have not cheated in terms of eating anything that I’m not allowed. On top of it, I have a really bad tree-nut allergy (I can have peanuts but NOT coconut with my particular allergy) so I can’t have coconut flour OR almond flour! But, I decided to give your recipe, with 3 substitutions a try.
I substituted the coconut oil with ghee (clarified butter)
I used cauliflower flour and arrowroot flour for the almond and coconut (arrowroot being the substitute for coconut, cauliflower flour the substitute for almond)
They STILL came out–Nice, fluffy, and still SOOOO Tasty!!!! next time am going to try substituting sunflower seed flour for the almond but…YAY!!!!
I have a feeling that I’m going to be trying soo many more of your recipes–just so so good! Thank you!!!! I was scared to try keto because of my allergy, but I’m slowly, but surely, finding ways around it!!!:)
Question… these sound wonderful but I am allergic to Lemon “Zest” I can have lemon extract, lemon juice, lemon stevia just cannot have the zest itself. how should I alter your recipe so I can make these…
You could use either. I don’t think it needs to be altered, just add it in and taste until you like the flavor.
Add 1/2 tsp of citric acid (powdered Vitamin C you can buy at any health food store) and you will get that great lemony zip you are looking for!
I recently got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I was craving some muffins. I have one as a snack with a bit of double cream on top! Delicious!
Thank you for posting this recipe, absolutely amazing! The blend of the flours helps with the texture of the almond flour and the cream cheese gives a great background flavor. My husbands a diabetic and it’s tough finding recipes that’ll work for him that also taste good.
