Which sweeteners are compliant for these Keto Strawberry Lemon Muffins?

Below are my favorite go-to sweeteners. Not only are these considered Keto, but they are also complaint when following a Paleo diet. I use granulated sweetener for the muffin recipe and the powdered form for the glaze. Most all of these can be found at any health food store and some are even located at Walmart and Target.

How to store these Keto Strawberry Lemon Muffins:

  • Last up to 4 days: Cool the muffins completely before storing. Line an airtight container with paper towels and place the muffins on top in a single layer. Seal with an airtight lid. If the paper towels become damp, replace them every few days. Muffins will last up to four days stored this way.
  • Freeze: If you can’t eat them all in once setting, no worries, you can even through them in the freezer in a freezer proof container for up to 3 months. Simply thaw and enjoy!

These muffins are even kid friendly. Eloise and Nora, my daughters both love snacking on these after school and even taking them in their lunchbox for a fun dessert. In addition to being kid friendly, they are also husband approved. Joel, my husband can literally eat the whole batch in one sitting! Bottom line, the whole family will dig them!

    These muffins are so good!! Little confusing on the glaze though…are you supposed to heat it up first and then put it in the fridge? It is definitely not the consistency that your pictures look like.

    1. Ashley McCrary says:

      Thank you! Also, you donโ€™t heat the glaze up at all. You mix together then add to the fridge. Iโ€™ve also noted that if you want the glaze thicker, you will simply add more powdered keto sweetener.

    Thank you for sharing this amazing yummy recipe. These muffins are delicious. I made them without the glaze and they are still very yummy. I am making another patch for this week.

  3. Danielle says:

    Wow! These were really really good! I was hesitant because the monk fruit can have a bad after taste but this recipe was perfect and loved the hint of strawberry. Delicious!

      So happy to hear this! Thank you

  4. Julie says:

    I made a double batch and did strawberries and rhubarb and they are delish ๐Ÿ’—. The lemon flavoring gives it a wonderful fresh flavor. Will definitely be making these again!

      Thank you so much Julie.

  5. Jeff says:

    Can you sub almond milk for coconut milk?

    1. Ashley McCrary says:

      HI Jeff…probably won’t be wise to sub out the coconut milk with almond milk since the fat content is so different. Thanks for the question. Happy eating friend.
