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!
Is Oat Fiber the Same as Oat Flour? Is Oat Fiber Keto?
Oat Fiber is not the same as Oat Flour, which is made from grinding oats. Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats and is pure insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and is not broken down in the digestive tract, so it’s Low Carb and Keto friendly.
The Oat Fiber is really important in this recipe! I use it in so many Keto dessert recipes, because of the amazing texture it gives whatever I am baking! It is hands down, the best ingredient I’ve baked with.
I use LifeSource Oat Fiber because they grind it to a very fine powder and has a mild flavor. The bag lasts a while, because you don’t need to use very much in your recipes.
I made so many Keto recipes with oat fiber like blueberry muffins, ricotta almond pancakes, coconut lime cupcakes, coffee crumb cake, chicken francese, chocolate chip cookies, focaccia and so many more!

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… Read more »
I have made these twice. They are delicious. Each time, as they cool the tops tend to sink in. Any idea why that happens?
I’m not sure why that might be honesty.
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 😀
