My family’s favorite breakfast items are muffins.
They are a quick, easy, satisfying items to grab on the run for busy families. They are perfect for before school or on weekends when they want to get out and about on a morning adventure with the whole family.
Plus, can we all admit that muffins for breakfast are just a little bit like having dessert for breakfast? Especially sweet muffins, like these Blackberry Muffins. But hey, not only are they low carb…they’re loaded with fruit so there’s no reason to feel guilty at all!
When you adopt a diet, you are always looking for ways to satisfy your cravings for the traditional meals you are used to. Bread and muffins are the hardest items to substitute in your diet and not have cravings for these items or cheat with these items. There are lots of recipes out there for muffins and bread but most of the time I found myself disappointed…until now that is.
This Blackberry Muffin recipe will make you say…. winner, winner, chicken dinner. Your kids will know how much you love them when you put these on your table for breakfast. They will love the special treat. These tasty little items are good for afternoon or evening snacks too.
Your kids will love these Blackberry Muffins so much you may want to make a double batch from the start. They will make you feel like you are cheating on your keto lifestyle when you are not!
Breakfast has been one of the hardest parts of switching to low carb. In addition to bread and muffins, it’s been a challenge to find breakfast recipes for things like cereal, pancakes, waffles, and all of the other breakfast comfort foods I loved before.
Besides eating these muffins for breakfast, they’re also an ideal after-school snack or great to enjoy with a cup of coffee. I typically make a few extra batches and keep them in the freezer. If I’m invited to a brunch with friends, I just pull them out of the freezer and they’re good to go.

Step One: Use Cooking Spray or Grease for the inside of the cups of a muffin pan
Step Two: Set your oven to preheat to 350 degrees

Step Eight: Add batter to each of the 6 muffin cups, you will use approximately 2 TBSP of batter to fill the cups to ¾ of the way full.

I love to play with my recipes and add additional items to give them a slightly different flavor profile. Some of my favorite additions to this muffin recipe are lemon juice or lemon zest. Just a little bit of lemon will add some additional fun flavor. I also love to add cinnamon to this recipe. Just a few teaspoons. Probably my most often added item is add all kinds of nuts.
