Low Carb Blueberry Muffins - Keto


Recipes from self isolation!
While we re really well stocked for for, I'm aware of the need to use what we have on hand. My blueberry bushes still have fruit and it needed to be well used.
I picked lots of them and used them in this recipe.
It is a make again recipe! I made a double recipe and ate way more than I should have yesterday.
I used a med sized muffin tin and the double recipe made about 18. I filled them 3/4 of the way up the tin as you would with non keto muffins and think they could have been filled a bit more.
When cooked they reached the top of the muffin case.

Ingredients:


1 cup almond flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp almond milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup erythritol (sugar substitute)
70 grams fresh blueberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt

Instructions:

  • Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin cups (and grease those if not suing parchment paper cups) and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl melt the butter in the microwave.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, except for the blueberries and combine using a hand mixer or a whisk until uniform in consistency (as seen in video).
  • Gently fold in your fresh blueberries.
  • Evenly divide the batter throughout 8 muffins and bake for 22-25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes prior to handling. 
  • Best stored in a zip top bag or air tight container in the fridge up to 5 days. Enjoy with some butter for a quick grab and go breakfast!

Keto Blueberry Cheesecakes

A super easy dessert made very quickly. I made it in a 6 section muffin silicon mould. It was a hit with all of the family and the recommendation was to have it with cream.  









Ingredients
30g Almond Flour                               
30g Dedicated Coconut
2 tsp (5g) Psyllium powder
25g Butter
1 pkt Weight Watches or Aeroplane jelly
250ml hot water (not boiling as this is dangerous in the nutri-bullet)
125g Philledelphia Creamed Cheese
1 handful blueberries

Instructions 
Combine almond flour, coconut, psyllium husk and butter. Microwave for 30sec until it can mix together well. 
Press into greased moulds with the back of a teaspoon. Put the mould onto something rigid so that it's easier to handle when full.

Put jelly and water into nutri-bullet container and stir until jelly dissolves.
 Warm creamed cheese in microwave for 30sec and add into nutri-bullet with blueberries. Whizz up and pour over base.
Refrigerate overnight.
