    Why you'll love this blueberry cream cheese muffin recipe 

    When it comes to eating a low-carb diet, we often feel like we give up some of our favorite carb-filled recipes. But it's super easy to transition them to work with your new lifestyle.

    This recipe for blueberry cream cheese muffins is a perfect example!

    stacked blueberry cream cheese muffins

    By subbing out all-purpose flour for cream cheese you are left with a keto version of classic blueberry muffins! The cream cheese helps keep the muffins rich and moist.

    Sweetener, eggs, sugar-free vanilla extract, and xanthan help to bring all of the flavors together so they are just as delicious as a traditional recipe!

    Ingredients needed

    Making a batch of these keto blueberry muffins is super simple! Here's everything that brings it together:

    blueberry cream cheese muffin ingredients portioned out in bowls

    Cream Cheese

    A must to make these creamy and delicious muffins! Using cream cheese adds not only flavor but also a nice texture. Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese for this recipe.

    Sweetener

    This is the key ingredient to make your muffins keto-friendly. I used monk fruit, but you could also use another type of keto sweetener if preferred.

    Check out this list of the best keto and low-carb sugar substitutes to find one you like!

    Eggs

    Adding eggs to the batter helps bind all of the ingredients together and gives them a nice richness.

    Blueberries

    Fresh or frozen blueberries are perfect for this recipe! Make sure to use fresh if you can because they have a better flavor. If using frozen, thaw them first before adding them to the batter.

    Note: Are blueberries keto?

    Sliced Almonds

    The crunchy nuttiness of the almonds pairs perfectly with the sweet blueberries in this recipe. Feel free to omit them if you're not a fan of nuts, or swap them out for something else like chopped walnuts or pecans.

    Sugar-Free Vanilla Extract

    A few drops of sugar-free vanilla extract add an extra punch of flavor to these muffins.

    Xanthan Gum

    This helps to give the batter a little more stability so that your muffins don't crumble when you take them out of the oven. Adding xanthan gum to your batter is optional.

    Baking tips

    Here are a few tips to make the perfect keto blueberry muffins:

    • Make sure to use softened cream cheese for the batter. If it is too cold, it won't blend properly, and your muffins won't turn out as soft and moist.
    • If using frozen blueberries, thaw them first before adding them to the batter so that you don't end up with purple-tinted muffins!
    • Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the pan. This helps keep them together better and ensures that they don't crumble.

    It's a super simple recipe, so don't worry if you don't get it perfect. Just make sure to follow all the instructions, and you'll be able to enjoy your blueberry cream cheese muffins in no time.

    How to make blueberry cream cheese muffins

    Here are the easy steps to make a soft keto cream cheese muffin with blueberries:

    Step 1: Make cream cheese mixture

    Preheat your oven to 350°F.

    While your oven is heating up, start by beating the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer (or in a stand mixer) for about 2 minutes until it is smooth and creamy.

    Next, add in the sweetener, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time, and mix to combine.

    adding eggs, sweetener, and vanilla

    Step 2: Add in mix-ins

    Once you have the muffin batter ready, gently fold in the blueberries and almonds with a spatula until it is well incorporated.

    Step 3: Bake and enjoy

    Scoop the mixture into 12 muffin molds that have been lined with cupcake liners, or use a silicone mold! You can use an ice cream scoop to get the amount of batter just right.

    Bake at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes or until the mixture is set and the tops have started to brown slightly (as shown in the photo).

    Allow the muffins to cool, and then store them in the refrigerator.

    Tip: They taste the best when served chilled.

    What to serve with keto blueberry muffins

    I liked serving mine with some fresh blueberry sauce on top, but they can be eaten plain as a snack or for breakfast. Yes, I often eat yummy treats like this for breakfast. You can also slather on some sugar-free raspberry jam!

    Eating high-fat foods in the morning prevents me from overeating later. That's because the fat really fills me up. And there's certainly a good amount of fat in this blueberry cheese muffin recipe.

    Recipe variations

    Though these easy blueberry cream cheese muffins are delicious as is, there are a few ways to switch things up for variety, preference, or for what you have on hand.

    Consider adding or swapping out some of these ingredients:

    • Sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily's works great!)
    • Raspberries
    • Strawberries
    • Blackberries
    • Nuts (pecans and walnuts would taste delicious)

      Here is a tip that is really important when mixing batter. Make sure every ingredient is at room temp. Because you will get pancake batter.

      I made these today and they were delicious! I didn’t use the xanthan gum or almonds, so I added another 1/4 cup of blueberries and baked for a total of 30 minutes. They do taste best cold but were fabulous room temperature with a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top!

      Just made these tonight and mine were like described previously. They turned out more like pancake batter, they rose up, but never actually browned. I went 30 minutes just in case. I did use 4 eggs so that could be why. They are still cooling so I haven’t been able to try them yet.

      I don’t love these. I used Splenda to sweeten and the artificial sweetener taste in these is overpowering. They also taste mildly egg-y. Not awful but not something I will make again.

      just curious about the video, seems you used 32oz cream cheese. I only used 16 oz, like the recipe stated and it was very liquidy. also curious how you only managed 3 carbs? with the monk fruit sugar alone that's 96g carb (divided by 12) and of course the cream cheese...
      I managed to make 11 muffins, 12 carbs each. just curious!

      I made these twice and have demand for more. I used sugar in the first patch and no xanthum gum. I used 4 eggs. It was still very dense and so I wouldn't do less. The second batch I made for my dad who just got diagnosed with diabetes, so I did use a sugar substitute. I did use xanthum gum this time and I don't think it benefited them. Still awesome! I took these to a family reunion and everyone went crazy for them. I would eat these instead of a traditional cheesecake any day.

          The almonds are optional (I'll need to fix that if it's not noted) so they are not needed.

        These have become our new favorite keto dessert. They’re so easy to make and love cheesecake anyhow! I used monkfruit and a few splashes of sugar free almond skinny syrup. Also used strawberries ???? and coconut flakes. Also sprinkled cinnamon on top before baking. AMAZING! Will make these over and over again!

      These turned out pretty good. We added sugar-free dark chocolate chips. Next time I would add a little more of the Monk fruit sweetener.

      In order to hide the taste of the sugar substitute all keto recipes really need more ingredients including spices and seasonings. I used 1/2 cup of Monk fruit and these cheese muffins were bland and not sweet at all. Will not be making again.

      Made these with frozen strawberries and chopped walnuts but the batter was a little runny. They tasted great but next time when i thaw the strawberries i'll drain them alot better and add the xanthan gum. Right now I have a batch with fresh raspberries and xanthan gum. The batter was much thicker. Great recipe!

      I had to cook them for 35 minutes. Also when I calculated the macros they are very high compared to your post. I got per each 254 calories, 6 net carbs, 5 g protein, and 16 g fat. My one cream cheese stated 90 cal per 2T serving and there are 16 servings, so that alone made your calculations completely different. I checked because they seemed too good to be true. But thank you for the recipe, they were delicious.

      I’m at an Airbnb so no mixer, no xanthan, no vanilla. I brought my Swerve from home and have a silicon muffin pan. These were still fabulous! I let the cream cheese warm up and whipped it best I could with a fork. Added swerve, more fork whipping, added room temp eggs, more fork whipping. Baked for 35 min. Had to cool for a long time and put in freezer before I could get them somewhat cleanly out of the silicon tin. Sounds like a lot of trouble but it was not. And, the best part, they are delicious! Even my husband who’s not typically into cream cheese liked them. Thank you for this recipe!

      I am celiac and have several other food allergies. Dessert is one of the things I struggle to fit into my diet given my restrictions. I used this recipe as a guide and adjusted to make a Thanksgiving dessert, Cranberry Orange Bars. I made a crust from shredded coconut and butter. Pressed in the pan and baked at 350 for about 10 minutes. Made the above filling using monkfruit sweetener blend, fresh cranberries and orange zest. Changed the bake time to about 25 minutes (until set on top). It was perfect! My family and I loved it and I am getting ready to make again for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. Great recipe!

      I tried this recipe tonight. I used Stevia in the Raw as my sweetner. After mixing, did not think it was sweet enough, so I added about 1/8c of Monk Fruit in the Raw. I also threw in about 1tsp of fresh lemon juice. They were great. I baked them for about 30 minutes, and could have probably gone about 5 minutes more for a more firm consistency. Overall, I would definitely make these again.

      Absolutely fantastic! I use 1/4 cup of Splenda instead of 1/2 cup - I make up for the subtle sweetness by adding almost a full pint of blueberries. I beat the heck out of the batter, add the Xanthan gum, then I whisk it to add air for fluffy volume, fold in the berries and bake for 20 minutes then turn the pan and bake for at least 15 more; that seems to work best at my altitude of 7500 feet, and allows browning of the tops.
      I can’t make enough of these awesome flavor bombs!

        I beat the heck out of the batter with a paddle attachment then add the Xanthan gum and switch to a whisk attachment to whip air into the batter for a good 2 minutes before adding the blueberries. Most important, I bake at 350 for 20 minutes then turn the pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more! Gets good even browning on the tops. They will lose their fluff a bit as they cool, but oh, so good!

        The almonds just add crunch. They aren't essential to the recipe so they can be left out.

        It might work, but because yogurt is thinner, you may need the xanthan gum or similar thickener.

        That should not have happened with 2 eggs blended in. Did you miss an ingredient somewhere? The optional xanthan gum will also help bind the ingredients. Most cream cheese does contain a stabilizer like xanthan gum but maybe yours didn't have it.

After making them once, I wanted a little more flavor. The next time I doubled the vanilla, loaded them with blueberries and added cinnamon. Just right!

      My first Keto recipe and it turned out great. Made 1/2 the recipe to test it and used Swerve (erythritol). Used Paper Chef brand parchment non-stick baking cup liners and had ZERO problem w/sticking. Baked 10-15 more minutes until tops were just starting to brown. Possible improvement to recipe instructions would be to add to baking instructions "...20 minutes or until set and tops just starting to brown (as in photo)."

      My husband found this recipe and really liked them. So easy to make, too.

      Blueberries 3.25

        I recalculated. The software I use rounds down (not up) so I got 3 grams when it really totaled 3.4g. However, it also calculated 1g fiber so it would be 2.4g net carbs which is then rounded down to 2g.

      I love these and I use this recipe every single week now, except I leave out the blueberries and almonds and instead add lemon juice and zest and just call them cheesecake bites. ? I use the exact sugar you link on the recipe but it has 4 carbs per tsp which is the same as regular sugar and that means these have to have more than 2 carbs each. I’m figuring they are more like 9 carbs each. Am I missing something? At any rate, I will continue to make them. They are delicious and better for you than a slice of cheesecake!

        You do not need to count those 4 grams of carbs because they come from erythritol which isn't digested.

      I’m starting Keto and I have a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic hubby that is a nightmare to feed! Grouchy as can be because of sugar and carb withdrawal! We had house guests so I thought I would try this recipe as an evening dessert with red raspberries (since he ate all the blueberries), gave him one that was barely cooled...no comment from him. Put the remaining muffins in the refrigerator for the next morning, by 11:00am the muffins were GONE! Hubby asked “When are you making more???” WOW is all I can say...Hence the five star rating!!! I thought were so delicious and they will be a quick “go to” for a yummy treat - anytime!

      I made the Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins and really enjoyed them. I think I need to cook them a little longer than the 20 minutes listed. As for the nutrition info, are the carbs listed the total carbs or are they net carbs?

      I realized too late that the cream cheese I used was 2 grams of carbs per ounce, so my finished muffins each have had about 11 carbs, not 2 and about 40 more calories.

      Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

        I use a cream cheese that shows <1g per ounce. And I should probably update the recipe as others have set they did need to bake them longer. The carbs are total, not net, but it doesn't include the erythritol as it's shown not to impact.

      I accidentally stumbled upon this recipe while bored scrolling through Facebook. I’m so glad I did! I got out of my bored state and jumped up and made them immediately! There is not a good enough word to describe how absolutely delicious they are! I made mine with 85% chocolate chips. I used a silicone muffin tray. I had to cook them longer than 20 minutes. They were perfect after about 30 minutes in the oven. I put them in the fridge immediately and after they cooled, they were so good I had two! They’re going to make a great breakfast for me!

        It should work out without the xanthan gum so there's no need to use cornstarch.

      So I made these with the roccoti cheese that's what I had. I cooked them for 20 m8nutes because they were still kinda of jiggly. They seemed to be done. I transferred them to the refrigerator right from oven. I couldn't wait to try them so I tried one in about 5 min. They were very wet the consistency was like cottage cheese. Any suggestions?

        Did you drain the ricotta? You might need to add something else to the recipe as ricotta isn't the same as cream cheese. And most cream cheese has stabilizers like xanthan gum.

      What would be the ratio replacement if I were to use swerve instead of the liquid sweetener? Would granulated or powdered be better? Would I need to add liquid?

        Anything from 1/3 to 1/2 cup sweetener should be good, depending on how sweet you want it.

      Hello thank you for the recipe. I did exactly as it instructed but when it came out it was still soft and somewhat giggly should I have left it in for longer or let it set in the fridge?

        It sounds like it needed to be cooked a bit longer. But it should be fine a little jiggly and then refrigerated.

      So Lisa, just for clarification, if I use monk fruit, how much would I use, and how much additional liquid?

      Thank you

        Use an amount equivalent to 1/2 cup (or less) of sugar. No additional liquid should be needed.

      Thanks for the information about Stevia, I am highly allergic to ragweed.

      Since this recipe has a liquid sweetener in it if I use a powdered sweetener will I have to need to add a liquid to the recipe so that it will turn out right?
      I can't wait to try this recipe!!!!!

        You can use either concentrated extract sweetener or bulk powdered sweetener in this recipe without other changes. However, you can add additional liquid to offset the additional powdered sweetener if needed.

      Have you looked up sucralose? Not something you should promote. Other natural sweetners, such as stevia should be considered.

      • Lisa

        July 18, 2015 at 7:03 pm

        This is an old recipe and since learning more about sucralose, I no longer use it. None of the recipes in recent years use artificial sweeteners like Splenda or liquid sucralose.

          June 24, 2016 at 9:34 pm

          It depends on the brand. If using Sweetleaf liquid drops, you'll need about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons. For a powder like Better Stevia, you'll want about 1 teaspoon.

          Really? I beg to differ.
          Many people have allergies to stevia. It's Actually more common than you think. In fact if you suffer from seasonal allergies, stevia is a close cousin to ragweed and chamomile. Can cause systemic problems. While I'm not a fan of Splenda, in moderation it's ok. Truvia, a derivitave of Splenda and erythritol (not bakung blend) is also an acceptable substitute.

        • Lisa

          January 25, 2017 at 4:43 pm

          For those that have allergies, stevia can be a problem as it's related to ragweed. Truvia contains stevia, not Splenda. If you want an all natural alternative, monk fruit is a good option to Splenda.
