Keto Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
These Keto Chocolate Raspberry Muffins make the perfect easy low carb breakfast treat or sweet snack.
I was never a huge fan of chocolate and raspberry together but in muffins it's a different story. I love the tartness of the raspberries with the sweetness of the chocolate.
These Low Carb Chocolate Raspberry Muffins are made with a combination of almond and coconut flour to create a really nice texture. The are soft and moist with a nice rounded top.
Serve them warm with butter or eat them on their own, either way these low carb muffins are super tasty!
Ingredients In Keto Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
- Almond & Coconut Flour – I use the Kirkland Costco brand of almond flour (I buy it in bulk on Amazon or at Costco itself occasionally) and this brand of coconut flour for this recipe. As I’ve noted in many of my past recipes, the brand of almond and coconut flour can affect the final outcome of the recipe because absorbency can vary depending on how the flour has been processed.
- Xanthan gum This is used to create a batter more similar to that of white flour. It helps give the muffins a fluffier/chewier texture.
- Powdered/Granular Monkfruit Erythritol Sweetener – I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it! The powdered is the best option for no-bake goods and desserts where you want a very smooth final product. But it bakes well in any recipe. **UPDATE** lately I’ve switched over to THIS brand of powdered sweetener because of trouble ordering the first one so you can order whichever is easier for you!
- I use Krisda chocolate-chips in this recipe as they are just 2 NET carbs per tbsp.. but you can also use dark chocolate or lily’s chocolate-chips.
Tools I Used To Create This Keto Chocolate Raspberry Muffin Recipe
- Low Carb Substitution Guide – This is totally optional but if you like my recipes, I now have a $5 guide available with all of the substitutions I use to create every recipe on my site. You can use this to convert old traditional recipes and create new keto recipes! You can purchase it here and/or read more if you are interested. 🙂 I appreciate your support so much guys!
- Nutritional Food Scale – AKA my best friend. This little buddy has been with me for over 4 years and never fails. Perfect measurements and only needs the batteries replaced maybe once a year!
Tips For Making Keto Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
- This batter will be thicker than traditional muffin recipes, you'll also find they brown slightly faster on the tops. This is typical for these keto muffins and nothing to worry about! The browning does not affect the taste negatively and the batter is thick as keto muffins tend to need more flour to help them absorb the larger amounts of liquid in muffins.
- The two baking temperatures help the muffins to rise and get “Domed” tops initially and then they will continue to bake through at the lower temperature but if you prefer you can stick with the standard 350* for the entire recipe. You just may have to bake them a few extra minutes.
- Coconut flour and almond flour brands can change the consistency of your baked goods so if you find your muffins coming out too dry then subtract a couple tablespoons of coconut flour, if they are too wet you may want to ADD 1/4 cup of almond flour OR subtract a couple tablespoons of cream.
