Notes

Recipe Tips & Tricks

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? Coconut flour has a completely different texture than almond flour and will not work in place of almond flour in this recipe.
Can I use a substitute for sour cream? In this recipe you can replace the sour cream 1:1 with full fat greek yogurt.
How do I keep my keto baked goods from sticking? For this muffin recipe, you’ll need to use silicone muffin liners or paper liners to keep the dough from sticking. These silicone muffin liners are my favorite.
How long do these last? Once baked, keep them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Can they be frozen? Yes! Once frozen they will last for 2 months in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be warmed up in the microwave for 15 minutes to soften once thawed.

What’s The Best Sweetener To Use in Keto Baking?

Since there are so many out there, this is individual to the person and what they prefer as they all have a slightly different taste on the palate. I enjoy using a keto sweetener that is granular as it absorbs into the batter better than liquid zero calorie sweeteners. Here are some of my favorites:
