Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or allulose (or your preferred 1:1 keto sweetener)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil, slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, but brightens flavor)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced small (pat dry with a paper towel)
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour (for tossing the strawberries)

Method
 

  1. Prep your pan and oven. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or use silicone cups.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Breaking up clumps now leads to a smoother batter.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir gently with a spatula until just mixed. The batter will be thick but scoopable.
  5. Prep strawberries. Toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon almond flour. This helps prevent them from sinking and reduces excess moisture.
  6. Fold in strawberries. Gently fold into the batter, saving a few pieces for topping if you like a pretty finish.
  7. Fill the cups. Divide batter evenly among the 12 liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with reserved strawberry bits.
  8. Bake. Bake 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
  9. Cool. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. They firm up as they cool, so be patient before peeling off liners.
