    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.pumpkin batter scooped in a muffin pan

    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.all the ingredients for pumpkin pecan muffins spread out

    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.a bowl of pecan streusel topping next to the 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.

    1. These muffins are hands down the best I have ever made. My whole family enjoys having them in the morning. Thank you for the recipe. It has been a life saver since starting Keto.

    2. Hi, instead of Pumpkin could I not substitute shredded zucchini? I used to make regular zucchini bread and muffins.
      Have them in the freezer and want to use them.
