Notes
Here are some important notes for the Keto Blueberry Muffin recipe:
Ingredient Substitutions: If you prefer, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but you will need to adjust the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent. Typically, 1/4 cup of coconut flour is used in place of 1 cup of almond flour.
Sweetener Choice: The type of sweetener used can affect the texture and sweetness. Erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit are good options. Be mindful of the conversion ratios if using a different sweetener.
Blueberry Handling: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to avoid bleeding and making the muffins soggy. Gently fold them in to minimize breaking.
Mixing Tips: Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure the muffins stay light and fluffy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just thaw before eating.
Testing for Doneness: Ovens vary, so start checking the muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time to ensure they don’t overcook. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Muffin Tin Liners: If using paper liners, lightly grease them to prevent sticking, especially with keto recipes that can sometimes be prone to sticking.
Butter Substitution: You can use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture.
