Why you'll love it

Go beyond muffins with fresh fruit and whip up a batch of jam muffins! These jam-filled muffins will elevate your breakfast or lunch. In fact, they toe the line between muffins and cupcakes.

The jam in the middle is a surprise inside the muffins. Kids and adults love them, and I'm sure you will enjoy them too.

These baked muffins fit perfectly with a low-carb lifestyle. They are also gluten-free, so you can share them with anyone who is gluten-sensitive or intolerant.

You will more likely stay dedicated to the ketogenic diet when you make delicious baked goods. Save this muffin recipe; you'll want to make it again!

Ingredients

All of the ingredients I used are really easy to find. If you have baked keto desserts, you might already have everything you need.

Almond flour

Whenever you bake with almond flour, use almond flour and not almond meal. If you use almond meal, the muffins will have a grainy texture.

Powdered sweetener

Use powdered sweetener to give the muffins the classic fluffiness you'll love. Liquid or granulated sweeteners won't add to the light texture in the same way.

This low-carb sweeteners guide will tell you everything you need to know about all the different types of sweeteners!

Baking powder

Baking powder also helps the muffins rise beautifully and makes them extra airy.

Butter

Use unsalted melted butter so that you can control the sodium levels in the muffins. If you need this recipe to be completely dairy-free, use ghee.

Eggs

These are the emulsifiers. Use them to bind all the ingredients together.

Almond milk

Whenever you bake keto recipes, use unsweetened, plain almond milk. If you use vanilla almond milk, use less vanilla extract, or else the vanilla flavor will be overpowering.

Vanilla extract

Always add a bit of vanilla or almond extract whenever you bake.

Sugar-free strawberry jam

In order to keep this recipe low-carb, I used sugar-free strawberry jam from ChocZero.

You don't have to use strawberry - you can use your favorite low-carb fruit jam. I have a fantastic recipe for sugar-free raspberry jam that will taste amazing as the filling.

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

Tips

• Use silicone muffin cups. The muffins will stick to the paper liners but come right out of the silicone ones.
• Be careful with the toothpick trick. Since these are filled with jam, the "toothpick inserted" trick to check if it is fully cooked won't work. Only stick the toothpick into the top of the muffins, not into the middle.
• Cool completely. They are soft muffins, so let them cool before you try to eat them.

Instructions

Here's how to make one of my favorite muffin recipes.

Mix the ingredients

Mix all the ingredients - except the jam - together in a large bowl.

You don't have to mix the flour mixture separately from the wet ingredients. Mix them together.

Use the correct sized bowl. A medium bowl might work, but if it is too small, it will be difficult to mix together.

Fill muffin liners

Add muffin liners to your muffin tin. Then, fill each one about ⅓ of the way with the batter.

Add strawberry jam

Place a spoonful of your favorite jam in the middle of the liners.

Top with more batter

Add the rest of the batter on top of the jam.

Bake the jam muffins

Finally, bake the muffins until they are golden brown. Let them cool completely before enjoying them.

️ Serving suggestions

These muffins filled with strawberry jam are healthy to add to your breakfast or lunch.

If you want to enjoy them for breakfast, add something with lots of protein on the side. I love these keto egg bites. They are easy and portable - just like the muffins.

Protein pancakes are another high-protein breakfast food that will nourish you and taste delicious with these muffins!

Add some keto shortbread cookies to the plate if you are serving them as a dessert or a low-carb snack.

Variations

There are more ways to make these muffins than just filling them with strawberry jam. Here are some fun variations you can make to this classic recipe.

• Make chocolate chip muffins. Make some delicious muffins with sugar-free chocolate chips instead.
• Make them richer. Use Greek yogurt instead of butter (remember to use unsweetened and unflavored Greek yogurt).
• Add a crunchy topping. Top the muffin batter with some shredded coconut flakes.
