Fluffy and slightly sweet, these strawberry muffins are my go-to grab-and-go breakfast. Packed with real fruit and naturally low-carb, they're perfect for meal prep.
Fresh strawberry muffins are a favorite in our house. I can bake a batch on the weekend without eating up too much of my day. Whether I’m making pumpkin muffins or chocolate zucchini muffins, they’re always a quick breakfast to grab when we’re running out the door.
Fresh strawberry slices pair beautifully with the buttery batter. Swipe a little butter on top while they’re still warm!
How to make keto strawberry muffins
- Dice the strawberries and add a small amount of sugar free sweetener to enhance their sweetness.
- Combine the dry ingredients into a small bowl – almond flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a large bowl – melted butter, sweetener, eggs, heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form the muffin batter.
- Add strawberries.
- Scoop into muffin liners and bake!
Key ingredients & substitutions
- Almond flour – The base for these muffins. I haven’t tested coconut flour, but if you try it, use 3/4 cup. Sunflower seed flour works cup for cup with almond flour.
- Butter – Melted coconut oil can be substituted for the butter if there is a dairy allergy.
- Eggs – Used to help hold our muffins together and to give these muffins that iconic muffin top.
- Heavy cream – Coconut cream can be substituted if there is a dairy allergy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are strawberries keto?
Yes! Strawberries are one of the lowest-carb fruits. This recipe uses 2/3 cup chopped, which adds only 6.3 net carbs to the whole batch. That's plenty of strawberry flavor in each muffin without blowing your carb budget.
Can I over mix the muffin batter?
Yes! Overmixing muffin batter can cause your muffins to be tough, bake unevenly or form peaked tops.
How would using Lupin flour effect these muffins? Do you think you'd use the same amount?
Usually for every cup of almond flour, you want to add 1/2 cup of lupin flour. I haven't tried using lupin flour, but if I did, I would start with 1 1/4 cups lupin flour and see how the consistency of the batter is.
Can I use almond milk or plain Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream?
I haven't tried it but I think you would be okay with using either! :)
We used a mixture of strawberries and blueberries. The muffins turned out great! Thanks!
What is the serving size for the mini muffins?
2?
Yes, 2
I've been making the blueberry muffins that use lemon and saw this recipe and decided to try with blueberries. Came out really good. I'll use this one now, I like it much better and it's less work. I don't use paper liners as I find I lose a lot of the muffin. I just wipe the tins with butter.
