Homemade Cranberry Sauce - Keto and Low Carb

And if you’re wondering, “Is cranberry sauce Keto?” This homemade sugar free cranberry sauce  certainly is and it’s every bit as good as the traditional version with sugar!  

What’s in Cranberry Walnut Keto Muffins?

  • Super fine almond flour
  • Oat Fiber (see note below)
  • Cranberry sauce
  • Eggs
  • Sour cream
  • Heavy cream
  • Brown Swerve
  • Swerve Confectioners
  • Baking powder
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Ground nutmeg
  • Orange zest
  • Vanilla extract
  • Walnuts
  • Salt

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Gluten Free Cranberry Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Add the flour, baking powder, oat fiber, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a bowl and whisktogether, then set aside.

In a separate bowl, add all of the wet ingredients, Swerve Confectioners and Swerve Brown, then mix using a hand mixer or whisk.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until combined.

Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Add large drops of the cranberry sauce.

Gently stir into the batter using a fork in a swirling motion.

Scoop batter into 10 silicone muffin liners.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before serving, but these are best served warm!

To ensure your Keto Cranberry Muffins stay fresh, store leftovers in an air tight container or muffin keeper like this one.

Can I Freeze Almond Flour Muffins?

This low carb cranberry muffin recipe freezes well. You’ll want to allow them to come to room temp. Then take each muffin and wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for up to a couple of months.

When you’re ready to eat them, remove the wrap and allow them to sit out on the counter for about 30 minutes. If you’d like to reheat them, you can place them in the microwave for a few seconds then slather them with a big dab of butter!

How Many Carbs in Cranberries?

There are approximately 8 net carbs in a whole cup of fresh, unsweetened cranberries. Used in recipes like these cranberry Keto muffins, where there is usually less than a cup in a whole recipe, it’s a great way to add a lot of cranberry flavor without a lot of carbs.

And cranberries are healthy too! They’re a good source of many vitamins and minerals, including manganese, copper, and vitamins C, E, and K1.

What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

The Oat Fiber is really important in this recipe!  I use it in so many recipes, because of the amazing texture it gives whatever I am baking!  It is hands down, the best ingredient I’ve baked with and is really worth buying.  I use Lifesource Foods Oat Fiber 500 because they grind it to a very fine powder and has a mild flavor. I buy it in the 16 ounce bag here.  The bag lasts a while, because you don’t need to use much in your recipes.

Oat Fiber, is not the same as Oat Flour, which is made from grinding oats.  Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outside husks of oats and is pure insoluble fiber.  Insoluble fibers do not dissolve in water and are not broken down in the digestive tract. So it’s low carb and Keto friendly!

These are delicious and have a great texture! I made mini muffins so they baked quickly and were done after about 10 minutes. I bake at Christmas for gifts to friends and neighbors and I hated to give them away (I saved half a dozen).
