Some mornings, we crave something sweet with our morning coffee. The problem is, most breakfast pastries usually have little to no nutritional benefits, and their high amount of sugar leave us hungry long before lunchtime. As much as we love a good cinnamon roll, chowing down on one isn't exactly the best way to start the day. These muffins were MADE for those cravings. They've got protein, fruit, AND they're sugar free. Win/win/win!

Can I add other fruits besides blueberries?

Yes! Raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries would all be great substitutes. Just be sure to stay away from fruits with higher carbs like apples, pears, or bananas.

What can I do to avoid that fake sugar aftertaste?

Many keto-approved sweeteners can have unappealing aftertastes. To have that much-needed sweetness without sacrificing flavor, we say go crazy with the add-ins! Vanilla or almond extract, dry warm spices like cinnamon or cloves, or citrus zest (lemon, in this case) are great for masking that artificial sugar taste.

Can these be toasted?

Absolutely! If you really want to treat yourself, you can toast them in butter in a skillet. Melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat in a small skillet and halve your muffin top to bottom. Place muffin halves cut-side down in the pan and let sit undisturbed until golden. 😍Best. Breakfast. Ever.
