Keto Almond Flour Muffins

I usually bake with almond flour. It’s gluten-free, bakes similar to all-purpose flour, and yields a light, spongy crumb. Almond flour is the ideal keto flour since it is ready available at most grocery stores. If you are allergic to nuts, try substituting with sunflower seed flour instead. It substitutes 1:1 in this recipe as almond flour.

Is Pumpkin Keto Approved?

I know…you say canned pumpkin has a lot of carbs in it. In one cup of 100% pumpkin puree, there are 14 nets carbs. That’s a lot of carbs, but that’s only if you sat down and ate an entire can of pumpkin puree would it kick you out of ketosis. As tempting as it is, don’t eat an entire can of canned pumpkin in one sitting. In this recipe, one cup of pumpkin puree stretches over 12 muffins, so the pumpkin contibutes a little over 1 gram carb per muffin. That is minimal carbs in exchange the delicious pumpkin flavor.

Are Pecans Allowed on the Keto Diet?

Yes! Pecans are keto! In 1/4 cup of pecans, there are 1 gram of net carbs. Pecans contain lots of fiber and are a great nut to choose if you like nuts in your keto desserts or muffins. If you are a fan of pecans, check out this low carb pecan pie mug cake. It’s a popular keto mug cake recipe on my website and youtube channel.

Butter Pecan Streusel Topping

I love a good streusel topping on a muffin. This keto pecan streusel topping is buttery, nutty and the perfect combination of sweet and salty. It makes the best muffin topping. If you didn’t want to add the almond flour and coconut flour to the streusel, you can get away with just using butter, sweetener, nuts, cinnamon and salt. It still produces an excellent topping for your keto muffins.

How to Keep Keto Muffins Fres

Keto baked goods tend to dry out faster than their high sugar alternatives. That’s because sugar retains moisture and help keeps muffins, cakes and cookies moist. Since sugar-free treats don’t have sugar, they dry out faster when left at room temperature, uncovered. That said, I do keep my keto pumpkin pumpkins at room temperature for a few days, but anything after that I will store in a brown paper bag or air tight container. You could even store these muffins in the refrigerator if you want to expend the shelf life.

Keto Pumpkin Pecan Muffins: FAQS

Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?

Almond flour is a key ingredient for keeping these muffins keto-friendly, but if you need a substitute, you can try using sunflower seed flour. Please note that this may alter the taste and texture.

How can I make these muffins dairy-free?

To make these muffins dairy-free, you can replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk. Just keep in mind that this may change the richness slightly.

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them well!

Can I use a different sweetener instead of monkfruit or Swerve?

Absolutely! You can use any keto-friendly sweetener that you prefer, like erythritol or stevia, but be sure to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness level of the substitute.
