    Tips for Making the Best Keto Snickerdoodle Muffins

    As I mentioned earlier, baking with Almond Flour and Oat Fiber together, will not only makes them gluten-free muffins, but also gives them amazing texture! 

    I have yet to find a suitable replacement for oat fiber that works as well, giving them a texture that is so close to traditional muffins.  The good news is that there are so many recipes you can make using oat fiber, so it's a great thing to stock in your pantry!

    What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

    Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!

    What is a Substitute for Oat Fiber?

    To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.

        I'm sorry, but I have not tested that substitution, so I can't say for sure.

      I'm interested in using coconut sugar instead of swerve or other sugar alternatives...has anyone tried it and how much should I use in this recipe?

        I couldn't say for sure, since coconut sugar isn't Keto friendly, I don't use it.

      The muffins seem to have been well-received so far. Definitely easy to put together with ingredients I have on hand. The oat fiber idea has been a good one and I'll use that in other baking to help with texture. So far this looks like a "make again" recipe. We'll see what the youngest says later.

      @Catrina - I get problems with keto muffins falling as well. I'm trying some things to help - a little longer cook time to set, maybe a slightly lower temperature with that - or same time but just a little higher temperature. I also have to remember to rotate the pans because some parts of the oven seem to heat a little differently. This time around the muffins in the back were risen and firm. The ones towards the front fell just a little bit. Making sure they're cooked a little more seems to help quite a bit. I had to add a couple of minutes to help them set - so 20-21 minutes instead of 18. That could be my oven, though.

      I have made these twice. They are delicious. Each time, as they cool the tops tend to sink in. Any idea why that happens?

      This is a fantastic recipe. All my favorite flavors of snickerdoodle cookies made into muffins. YUM. I particularly enjoyed them the next day after they sat overnight then served them with melted butter on top as you suggested. Only bad thing was they didn’t last very long.since everyone loved them so. Next time I will make two batches. 🙂

        Aww, so glad you liked them! The melted butter really makes them, and you're right, a second batch might be a good idea 😀
