Tips for Baking Perfect Low Carb Blueberry Muffins
- Always use blanched almond flour (not almond meal).
- Use room-temperature eggs and milk to help the batter blend well.
- Let batter rest for 5 minutes before baking to activate the leavening agent.
- Avoid overbaking. Start checking at 20 minutes.
- Add a sprinkle of sweetener on top for a slight crunch.
These tips also apply when making soft and moist Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies or Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pancakes.
Paleo and Keto Variations You Can Try
Want to switch things up? Try these variations:
- Add a mashed banana for natural sweetness like in these Paleo Banana Bread Muffins.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Baking with Almond Flour

- Too many blueberries can make them soggy in the center.
- Overbaking leads to dry muffins. Stick to the suggested time.

Yes. Use them straight from the freezer to prevent color bleeding.
