Keto Blueberry Muffin

Keto blueberry muffin > muffin top

You know how sometimes you just get an intense craving for dessert after meals? You want to just sink your teeth into some cake or a muffin and a single square of dark chocolate just won’t cut it. My biggest problem with Keto desserts is that I end up making multiple portions. That’s all very well when you’re, say, meal planning, but what about when you want just one? This Keto blueberry muffin fits perfectly into that sweet spot. And what’s more, it makes the perfect breakfast for that one day when you want a break from the eggs and bacon.

This Keto blueberry muffin retains the moistness of a regular muffin with the blueberries adding little pops of sweetness. It’s no dissimilar to a mug cake (it is, in fact, a mug cake) and you can make this in your oven or microwave.

Is it a mug cake or a muffin?

Potayto/Potahto. Or, as they say in Keto, CaulifloWer/CauliflAAHr. The truth is they’re both made exactly the same way, so it could either be breakfast or dessert. If there’s any distinction I’d make between the two it’s that mug cakes can be made a bit sweeter and topped with frosting or compote. But seriously, this can be breakfast, dessert or snack, and you can fancy it up any way you like.

Also, not everyone has blueberries just lying around. I didn’t either – I actually spent half my life savings to buy a punnet of blueberries in Mumbai because they’re just so hideously expensive here. I exaggerate only a little bit – a hundred grams of blueberries can cost anywhere from $4 to $10 in India. I’d bought a bunch for my Keto blueberry iced tea recipe, and knew I needed to use them up more… er fruitfully… rather than just snacking on them. If you’re using frozen blueberries, you need to be careful about the amount of liquid you’re introducing to the mix – try and keep that at a minimum.

If you don’t have blueberries, you can always sub them out for other berries – strawberries work just fine, as would blackberries and even pitted cherries. Just keep an eye for the changing macros. Give my Keto berry mug cake a go if you want to turn this into a more decadent dessert.

  1. Sahil, you might check the nutrition info above. On the nutrition info it says “This recipe makes 4 servings. Get this recipe on myfitnesspal.”, but on the actual recipe (just below that) it says “Servings: 1 serving”. Are the numbers based on 1 or 4 servings? Making this as soon as I am done typing.

  2. Question from US
    These muffin recipes look so good. Any recommendations for baking these in an Air Frier. Time and temp
    Also, any chance of getting measurements in teaspoons and tablespoons instead of ounces?
    Thanks for great recipe.

    1. Hi Nanette, I will strongly recommend to please buy a kitchen scale, not just for this recipe but for everything you cook, scales are super cheap, under 10$ and they are accurate and a friend for life, most of them can switch from grams to oz as well. I think there is a convertor in the recipe box itself but that’s just OZ. I think it’s about 2 tbsp almond flour, 1 tbsp butter, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1.5 tbsp blueberries. pretty basic but do grab a scale if you can at some point since more and more websites are shifting over to grams. As for the air fryer I think the same temp but start with 5 min cook time and keep adding 3-4 min and use the toothpick test to know when it’s done. When the toothpick comes out clean means the cake is cooked through.
