Keto Strawberry Muffins
Keto strawberry muffins like these allow you to enjoy a little fruit while on a low-carb diet.
Strawberries are packed with nutrition, making these low-carb strawberry muffins a great choice for an after-school snack for your little ones.
When eaten in moderation, strawberries can be part of your keto diet without any issues since they are not only low in carbs but also in calories.
They also pack a flavor punch, requiring less of them when used in baking. It’s one of the many reasons why they are a great fruit choice when keto baking.
These almond flour strawberry muffins are one of my favorites to make as a quick snack or for a last-minute brunch with the family.
But really, these keto muffins are great at any time of day. This recipe is also a wonderful option to make at the beginning of the week as part of your keto meal prep for the week.
Benefits of Strawberries While Doing A Keto Diet
Since strawberries are relatively low in carbs compared to other fruits, they can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a keto diet. Here are some potential benefits of including strawberries in your keto diet:
1. Low in net carbs: One cup of sliced strawberries contains about 11 grams of total carbs and 3 grams of fiber, resulting in a net carb count of 8 grams. This makes strawberries in a muffin recipe ideal since a little goes a long way as far as flavor.
2. High in fiber: Strawberries are a good source of fiber, which can help to promote feelings of fullness and support healthy digestion.
3. Rich in nutrients: They are packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, and potassium.
4. Antioxidant properties: Strawberries contain antioxidants, which can help to protect against oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Overall, strawberries can provide a range of potential health benefits when included as part of a balanced diet.

How To Make Keto Strawberry Muffins
Making keto almond flour strawberry muffins is quick and easy!
I generally recommend measuring and then sifting your almond flour when using almond flour. This will ensure your muffins have the perfect light and fluffy texture.
I recommend you visit our Keto Baking Tips page for more of my tried-and-true keto baking advice and favorite tips.
Once you’ve got your almond flour measured and sifted, preheat your oven and line your muffin tin.
Then you’ll whip up the room temperature cream cheese, butter, and sugar substitute of your choice in a large bowl. Add your eggs in one at a time, ensuring you combine them well before adding the next.
I prefer using an electric mixer to whip up the wet ingredients until they’re light and fluffy, but you can do this by hand if you prefer. Next, add your dry ingredients and fold in the chopped strawberries.
Wanting to enhance the flavor of the raspberry in this recipe, I used vanilla extract to brighten the flavor further.

Then, fill your lined muffin tin with batter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Best Sugar-Substitutes For Sugar-Free Strawberry Muffins
You can use several sugar substitutes when making these keto muffins. If you’re looking for a sweetener that reminds you of real sugar, I’d recommend you try Lakanto Monk Fruit.
This all-natural sweetener’s texture is spot on, and it barely has an aftertaste. I’m also partial to Swerve, an erythritol blend.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure with good results. However, stevia is doubly sweet, so you will have to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

Hi, You would have to use frozen sliced strawberries but yes they can be used. Keep in mind, that you would not have to defrost before adding to the batter. Enjoy!
