These easy low-carb and gluten-free muffins are entirely filled with strawberries and are also gluten-free and vegan. They are perfect for easy-going breakfast with a cup of your favourite tea or coffee. These low-carb strawberry muffins are fabulous for keto vegan diet and in a strawberry season!
If you follow my recipe, you would know that I have been into vegan keto diet recently and I always try to find new, exciting low-carb recipes. Recently I made these Keto Peanut Butter Cups and they were so yummy! God if someone told me that keto and a vegan diet is possible and manageable, I wouldn’t believe them. Until I have done it myself! And it was fairly easy!
I love muffins as they are such an easy and ready-to-go breakfast. I have a recipe for Vegan Blueberry Muffins here and you certainly should try it! They are so soft and just yum.
These keto vegan strawberry muffins are slightly different than the recipe for strawberry muffins I have in my VEGAN STRAWBERRY COOKBOOK. (Wait, you don’t have my cookbook yet?! Oh my gosh, you are missing out soooo much!)
I created the Vegan Strawberry Cookbook for everyone who loves strawberries and wants to try new, incredible, and easy recipes. It’s perfect for a strawberry season and it gives you ideas on how to prepare your food, sweet and savoury, in a healthier way. In fact, all the recipes in the book are vegan and gluten-free.
These keto strawberry muffins contain only 180.5 kcal each and 5.7g carbs and 2.8g fibre. They are perfectly suitable for a ketogenic diet and vegan ketogenic diet. They also fit for people with a gluten allergy because they are gluten-free.
Due to a high volume of almond flour and coconut oil the keto vegan muffins are high in fat which is what you need from a keto diet!
The keto strawberry muffins might look a little bit grainy but that’s because of almond flour that has usually a grainy, brown look. The other important thing to keep these muffins keto is to use a sweetener (I used liquid stevia). Monk fruit, stevia or erythritol is a good option.
What do you need to make vegan keto strawberry muffins?
- Flaxseeds. Whole flaxseeds that you can grind in a food processor or a small smoothie blender or ground flaxseeds. Not only is flaxseed considered a superfood because of its nutrients (such as omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, antioxidants, fibre and others) but it’s an excellent substitute for an egg!
- Water to make the flaxseed egg
- Almond flour because it contains much fewer carbs than normal wheat flour. It is suitable for baking, tastes great, and it’s also gluten-free (hence made of almonds!).
- Baking powder
- Plant-based milk. I usually use soy milk or unsweetened almond milk
- Coconut oil as a great source of healthy fats, so much needed on a low-carb and keto diet
- Vanilla extract
- Liquid sweetener. Liquid stevia is what I use all the time!
- Strawberries. Use fresh strawberries.
- Non-stick Muffin Pan With 12 Holes
- Cupcake Paper Cups. Cupcake paper liners are always handy in a kitchen.
