In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together.
-
Reserve some blueberries for garnish, then gently fold the remaining berries into the mixture.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Sprinkle the preserved blueberries over each muffin.
-
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

What makes these muffins keto?
Traditional blueberry muffins are typically made with wheat flour and sugar, and often contain 30-50 grams of carbohydrates per muffin.
This recipe keeps the carbs low by replacing these ingredients with keto-friendly alternatives:
- Blanched almond meal Provides structure and healthy fats.
- Coconut flour Absorbs moisture and improves texture.
- Erythritol It adds sweetness without raising blood sugar.
- Cream cheese and sour cream Create a rich, moist crumb with added protein and fat.
The result is a muffin that satisfies cravings while fitting comfortably into the keto lifestyle.
