These gluten-free and low-carb lemon blueberry blender muffins are ultra moist since they are made with almond flour and contain as many blueberries as you want to squeeze into the batter. They are also very easy to make because all you need to do is add all the ingredients except the blueberries to a blender and press blend! Wow… Is there another low-carb lemon blueberry blender Muffins recipe as easy as this? Well… I doubt it!!
Believe me, there is absolutely nothing fancy about these muffins, and I think that’s why I love this recipe. The batter is very simple — almond flour, Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener, and lemon. And, of course, blueberries. It comes together in a few minutes since you add the ingredients to a blender and hit go. Awesome! Then, pour the batter into the muffin pan and 25-30 minutes later you have delicious muffins, ready to be eaten.
The almond flour and Greek yogurt make these muffins SO moist. I guess you can see that from the pictures, right? Oh, my goodness… They are the description of perfection! And, I’m not even exaggerating! I’ve made a looooot of muffins like these Gluten-free Carrot Muffins and Almond Flour Cranberry Muffins so I’m not kidding when I say these muffins are the moistest ones I’ve made to date.
Now, I have to be honest and say they are not very sweet. I only added a ¼ cup of sweetener because I just don’t like sweet lemon blueberry muffins. I prefer this since I can taste more of the lemon. However, if your blueberries are sweet, your muffins are going to be perfect.
So, let’s sum things up. These muffins are…
- Gluten-free

What a disaster! Everything was fine until I added the 3 cups of almond flour. I ended up with a mess that wouldn’t blend. After transferring to a bowl it had the consistency of cookie dough. I threw it away.
Olivia says
So sorry to hear that. Did you use the right ingredients amount?
Chang says
This is highly recommended!! Awesome muffins. Only made 1/2 of this recipe n yield 3 muffins.. added frozen strawberries instead of blueberries.. texture was amazing as well..
Olivia says
Love that you added strawberries instead of blueberries. I bet it was delicious too 😉
Erin says
I had a similar experience as others, where the mixture didn’t blend in the blender, and when I transferred it to a bowl I ended up with more of a crumbly cookie dough texture. They’re In the oven right now and I’m hoping that they bake up well, but I have my doubts!
Olivia says
So sorry to hear that. I don’t understand why. I have to try this recipe again and see why this is happening. Thanks for your feedback.
Allison says
How did you calculate the nutrition for your recipe? When I calculated based on specific brands I used the carbs are way higher. I did not substitute, followed your recipe exactly 😟
Olivia says
I use the app MyFitnessPal.
Gabrielle says
Substituted stevia for the swerve and used 1 tsp. It wasn’t quite enough but my girls said the recipe was good enough to try it again. I will add more lemon next time as we felt the taste disappeared. I also experienced the texture becoming too thick when I added the almond flour, but persisted by mixing with a spatula in the blender and cooking anyway. They still turned out! We will definitely make this again, with a few variations.
Susan says
Delicious. As noted in the recipe, they are not overly sweet. I sprinkled a little coconut sugar on top of them before baking.
Olivia says
I love that you sprinkled a little coconut sugar in there. Amazing!
Christina Anderson says
Just made these. My batter wasn’t smooth either. My only substitution was 1 cup of coconut flour and 2 cups almond flour. That wouldn’t change the batter. However, the milkfat content in the Greek yogurt will change the consistency of the batter. I used Wallabys 4.5% plain Greek. Very thick and very different from a 1.5% milkfat. They were tasty but crumbly.
Olivia says
Yes you’re right depending on the type of Greek yogurt you are using, it may change the batter. But coconut flour also change the batter too because it absorbs lots of liquid.
Carin says
I had the same problem. My batter wasn’t thin enough, it was almost kind of fluffy. Yes I used the correct portions. They still taste good but the texture is almost like cornbread.
Meg says
These are in the oven now and they smell so good. I didn’t have Greek yogurt so I used sour cream. When i added the dry ingredients the blender didn’t really work. I hope that my baking soda, powder and salt distributed evenly. I suspect it didn’t. The better was plenty moist. I also used stevia because that’s what I had. I’ve never used the sweetener that it calls for. I have some monkfruit on the way, would that work also?
Olivia says
Yes I think so. Please let me know how they turned out 😉
Diane says
I use a stevia/agave liquid for sweetener. An idea how much I would need for this recipe?
Olivia says
I’m sorry, but I don’t have any idea because I’ve never baked with stevia liquid before. Maybe you can find on google the equivalence.
