Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup erythritol (or other granulated sugar substitute)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour in the almond milk mixture and mix again until just combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter muffin, you can add a few drops of liquid stevia to the batter.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used. Thaw them first and pat them dry.
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
