    Once these Keto muffins are cooled, a delightfully fresh and bright lemon icing is drizzled over the top. The sugar free glaze brings together all the flavors of the strawberries and lemon and truly puts icing on the cake (no pun intended).

    Gluten free muffins are a staple in my home. Because they freeze so well, they are one of my favorite things to meal prep. Whether it's for a low carb snack or for mornings when I just don't have time to cook, Keto muffins are the perfect answer.

    I enjoy taking a day out of the month to make some of my favorite Keto Muffins to keep on hand. If you love this idea, try these Blueberry Muffins, Snickerdoodle Muffins, Chocolate Zucchini Muffins and Mock Apple Muffins. They are breakfast game changers and the kids will love them too!

    How to Make Keto Muffins

    To Make the Strawberry Lemonade Muffins

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    strawberry lemonade muffins dry ingredients in glass bowl

    Add the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

    strawberry lemonade muffins wet ingredients in glass bowl

    In a separate bowl, add in the eggs, sour cream, butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest and mix until well combined. Add in the monk fruit/allulose and continue mixing.

    Then fold in the chopped strawberries. Be a little gentle with the batter at this point. You want the strawberries well incorporated but not mushed.

    Using an ice cream scoop, add in the batter to 12 silicone muffin cups or a muffin pan that's been sprayed with nonstick spray.

    To Make the Sugar Free Lemon Icing

    Add in all the icing ingredients and whisk until combined. Start with a tiny bit of the heavy cream and add a little at a time, until you get the consistency of icing.

    How to Freeze Strawberry Lemonade Almond Flour Muffins

    If you have leftover strawberry muffins or if you've made them in advance of needing them, they will freeze beautifully if you follow just a few steps. First, you must allow the muffins to cool completely. You can even place them in the fridge to ensure they are cooled.

    Next, wrap them individually with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is touching as much of the surface of the muffin as possible. For this reason, you may decide to glaze them after they have thawed. It's not necessary but as with anything you freeze with glaze, some of the glaze may stick to the plastic.

    Are Strawberries Keto? What are the Carbs in Strawberries?

    A lot of people wonder if strawberries are Keto because they have natural sugar. The truth is almost everything you eat has some trace amounts of natural sugar, even most green veggies.

    So the key to eating fruit on Keto is to find those fruits that are lowest in sugar and highest in fiber. Berries are perfect in that way, which is why in small amounts, strawberries are just fine on Keto.

    One way to eat berries on Keto is to incorporate them into recipes where you aren't eating a lot at one time. For instance, this Strawberry Keto Muffin recipe uses one cup for the whole recipe and the net carbs in ½ cup of strawberries is only 5 grams.

    Wholesome Yum's Besti Powdered Monk Fruit/Allulose is my absolute favorite blend to use! It has perfect texture and far exceeds anything else I've ever tried. Use code: KCC10 to save 10%.

    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.

    Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Gluten Free Muffins

    These Strawberry Lemonade Keto Muffins are so east to make. But baking with almond flour is slightly different than baking with gluten. Here are a few of my best tips to make sure your muffins turn out great every time:

    Silicone is your friend: Silicone muffin cups or a silicone muffin pan makes baking with almond flour so much easier. There's no sticking to the side of the cups like you can have with paper liners.

    Let them cool: While I love the taste of muffins with almond flour, with the absence of gluten, you they can crumble on you. The way to prevent that is to allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

    How to give muffins a fluffy texture: Almond flour is fairly dense and can make whatever your baking rather dense. That is the reason I love to add just a little Oat Fiber. You just won't believe the difference in texture it makes.

    Add them to your next breakfast buffet: If you need a sweet treat to add to your next buffet, you can make these Strawberry Keto Muffins in mini silicone muffin cups. Adjust the time and start watching for them to be done after 10-12 minutes.

    Change up the flavor: What goes great with lemon and strawberries? Blueberries! Add a few to the batter. I hate to waste anything so I do this sometimes when I only have a few blueberry left in a carton. There's no need to change up any of the other ingredients.
