Fluffy, moist and bursting with flavor. These Healthy Lemon Blueberry Muffins are gluten-free and sugar-free. One of my favorite muffins so far.
I love adding almond flour to my baking. It’s a healthier gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. Made from ground almonds, it’s high in protein and low in carbs.
To replace white granulated sugar, I used erythritol, a sugar alcohol. Erythritol is extremely low in calories, 0.24 calories per gram compared to table sugar which has 4 calories per gram. It has a glycemic index of 0. So it will not raise your blood sugar.
You might think to add heavy cream isn’t healthy, but it is. Eating fat doesn’t make you fat. Full-fat dairy is rich in nutrients and supports a healthy heart. Check out this article on Healthline.
Putting all the health benefits aside, just the taste alone is enough. You just gotta try it!
These lemon blueberry muffins are truly healthy, super quick and easy to make. It stores well and stays moist and fluffy for up to a week in the fridge. Make it on Sunday and have it for a quick breakfast all week long.
