If egg cups and a keto blueberry muffin had a baby... they would create these protein blueberry muffins.
They are made gluten-free, dairy-free, and are a low carb and healthy breakfast.
My family has graciously tried many variations of these and in an effort to keep recipes simple, easy, delicious, and healthy; we’ve decided these win in all categories!
Ingredients you need:
- eggs
- fresh blueberries
- I have tried frozen blueberries, it comes out slightly different but does work
- walnuts
- about ½ a cup chopped
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon for managing blood sugar
- salt
- granulated kosher salt works best
- sugar
- I use coconut sugar or granulated monk fruit sweetener to keep the glycemic index low and reduce spiking blood sugar
- gluten-free flour
- all-purpose gluten free flour is best but if you want to make them keto blueberry muffins than use almond flour
How to make the best protein blueberry muffins without protein powder:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray 10 muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Place 1 tablespoon blueberries and ½ tbsp chopped walnuts in each dish.
- In a mixing bowl stir together all dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl melt 2 ½ tablespoons butter or coconut oil.
- Add 7 eggs to the butter and whisk.
- Slowly whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients and full stir.
- Pour batter ¾ of the way into each muffin tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until eggs are fully cooked.
- Allow to cool and serve.
