Keto muffins come in all sorts of wonderful flavors. Check out this amazing collection of the best sugar-free, low carb muffin recipes. 45 amazing recipes to choose from!
It’s no secret that I love muffins. You might even go so far as to call me a muffin addict. There’s no shame in loving muffins this much, is there? They are one of my favorite keto snacks.
I daresay that I have more keto muffins recipes than any other blogger out there. No surprise, really. I’ve been doing this low carb thang for over a decade and I am quite proficient at keto baking. And did I mention that I love muffins?
My love of muffins did not start in my low carb days. Oh no, I’ve had a very longstanding love of all things muffin as far back as I can remember. It might be hereditary, as my mother loved them too.
And now I am passing this obsession on to my own kids!
The Benefits of Keto Muffins
Thank goodness that my favorite breakfast treat is so easy to make low carb and gluten-free.
It took some trial and error at the beginning of my keto baking career to get low carb muffins right. But once I figured out the right proportions of low carb flours and other ingredients, I couldn’t stop making more variations and flavors.
Here’s what I love about low carb muffins:
- Easy to make: Muffins are one of the best recipes for a keto beginner to try. They are more forgiving than cake and usually take a single bowl to prepare.
- Easy meal prep: Almost without exception, keto muffins can be made ahead and frozen. I make big batches and pop them into a ziplock bag. They can last for months and warm nicely in an oven or microwave.
- Portability: Muffins make a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Take them to work, to the beach, to a party, or wherever you need to go. Some recipes, like my Keto Pecan Pie Muffins, are even sturdy enough for travel.
- Family Friendly: Depending on your choice of flavors, muffins are kid friendly! Add a few sugar-free chocolate chips and they’re instantly a hit.
- Ideal for dietary restrictions: Whether you’re nut-free, dairy-free, or something-else-free, there is a keto muffin recipe for you!
- Infinite flavor options: Muffins can be customized to suit your tastes. Don’t like cranberries? Add blueberries instead! Not a nut fan? Skip them or add chocolate chips. The sky’s the limit for keto muffin flavors.

Jane Evans says
I am so grateful to have found your recipes Carolyn. However I too, am having trouble with some of the baking since I live at a higher altitude. Here are the rules that apply to conventional baking at a higher altitude: High Altitude Baking — Good Rules of Thumb
Oven Temperature. Increase by 15-25℉ …
Baking Time. Decrease by 20-30% …
Flour. Increase by 1 tbsp at 3,500 ft, and by 1 tbsp per 1,500 ft. …
Sugar. Decrease by 1 tbsp per cup. …
Liquids. Increase by 1 to 2 tbsp per 1,000 ft, and 1 ½ tsp per additional 1,000 ft. …
As you can imagine it is difficult to translate these ‘rules of thumb’ to keto baking. Any advice would be much appreciated. I am happy to experiment.
Carolyn says
I am so sorry, Jane but I’ve rarely baked at altitude. I do believe most of those rules apply still. When we were in Idaho a few summers ago, I found that my muffins needed more structure so increasing the flour a bit is important, for sure!
Jane Evans says
Thanks Carolyn…I was living in Mexico for 22 years at 6500 feet and boy that made baking interesting…home in Canada now at a much lower altitude (Edmonton, 1500′) but still seems to make my keto/low carb recipes lacking the rise I would like. Oh for heaven’s sake, I haven’t said which recipe I am trying to make: strawberry cream cheese scones and key lime scones. I have tried a tsp. of psyllium husk and an additional egg and that helped but could still be better. I shall let you know how I make out. I drool over your recipes constantly.
Carolyn says
Good luck! I might even recommend a bit of protein powder (whey or egg white) in the scones to help with that…
JL says
I made your Maple Walnut Muffins on this list (from the Swerve site: https://swervesweet.com/recipes/maple-walnut-muffins)
I used a little brown Swerve along with the regular Swerve. Warm with butter: so, so good! This will be in my regular rotation now. Thanks so much.
Sheri says
Is there anything that can replace the whey protein powder I cannot have whey but the coffee cake muffin recipe looks so good.
Carolyn says
Egg white protein powder works to.
patricia says
All your recipes look so delicious and I used to be able to make them. Now I have become allergic to eggs so cannot make these delicious looking recipes. Only good thing….I feel much better without the eggs now !

Thank you very much for this round up, Carolyn!
I was looking for some low carb muffin recipes because their portable and freezable. Which means I can eat breakfast, and I can stay on track. I didn’t expect to find 35 in one post, sweet and savory to boot. And so much of them look absolutely delicious. Definitely speaking my language here. thanks again
Bobbi says
Do you have a carb free bran muffin recipe? I didn’t see one on the list.
Carolyn says
Bran is not typically low carb. There are ways to fake it with flax but a lot of people don’t like flax.
SJ says
I’ve loved the Maple Walnut Muffins from Swerve Sweet for a year now, and I am NOT at all shocked that the recipe is yours! Of course! they’re a go-to whenever I want a snack I can grab on the run, or pack in lunches or sneak mid-day when work is boring! Thanks 🙂
Carolyn says
So glad you like them!
EJ says
wish there was a way to print all in 1 click instead of going to each recipe, scrolling to find the recipe and then printing.
Pam says
Hi Carolyn,
I’ve been recently looking for some keto recipes low in saturated fat and I tried four of your muffin recipes that fit the bill this weekend. They are really sensational and now I have a stash in the freezer to use for a healthy breakfast or snack. Thanks so much!
Carolyn says
So glad to hear it!
jenny says
This is a great list! Thanks for sharing my Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins 🙂
Carolyn says
They look great! Glad to share.
Taryn says
Thanks for including my blueberry muffins!
Julianne says
What a great collection of Keto friendly muffins! Thanks for including my recipe in this most impressive lineup!
Idania says
I love the collection of keto muffin recipes. Do you have a book version of all of these, so I can have them all in one place, and be adventurous: soemtimes I know I want a muffin, but I make it in the morning. A book would be easier for me to leaf through to find what I’m in the mood for. Thanks!
Carolyn says
I do not have a muffin specific book, no.
Chad Johnson says
Do you have high altitude versions of your baking recipes?
I live in Denver (5280) so baking is always a little more of an adventure!
Thx
Carolyn says
I have never baked at altitude but a few readers have told me that you make many of the same changes you would for conventional baking.
