Keto Birthday Cake Muffins

by

Keto Birthday Cake Muffins are ideal for low-carb festivities or as a daily treat. They are light, fluffy, and full of nostalgic birthday cake flavor because of the almond and coconut flours, but without the added sugar or carbohydrates. Almond and vanilla extracts provide this traditional sweet cake flavor, while keto-friendly sprinkles give it some color. These muffins are perfect for low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diets with only 2g of net carbohydrates per muffin. We can also cover them with keto frosting for added pleasure, or enjoy them plain. These Keto Birthday Cake Muffins are a tasty and healthier substitute for cupcakes, whether you’re organizing a birthday or you only want to have something sweet. They also keep nicely in the refrigerator or freezer, which makes preparing meals a pleasure.

  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. almond extract
  • ¼ cup keto-friendly rainbow sprinkles

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We have to use fine blenched almond flour for the best quality. We should not have to use the almond meal because it results in a thicker muffin. Almond flour gives these muffins a delicate crumb and is high in fat and low in carbohydrates.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • We have to use very little amount of this flour because this flour absorbs a lot of moisture content. It adds moisture and texture to the muffin and aids in binding the components together.

ERYTHRITOL:

  • Erythritol is a common low-carb sweetener that adds sweetness without adding sugar to keto recipes. We can also able to consider using Allulose if you want a less cold aftertaste and it also acts similarly to sugar and doesn’t crystallize.

KETO SPRINKLE:

  • We have to use sugar-free or keto-friendly sprinkles to keep the dish low-carb. We have to make sure to read the labels or purchase from a brand that is specifically designed for keto, such as Stoka or Good Dee’s, as many conventional sprinkles contain hidden sugars.

COCONUT OIL:

  • You would utilize the coconut oil in place of butter to make the dairy-free muffins. Both will work well in this recipe; however, coconut oil will give a slightly distinct texture while butter adds richness.
