Keto French Toast Muffins

Come on, just admit it. You haven’t had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste.

You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this.

Keep in mind that I normally don’t eat berries, and I mainly used this as a photo additive – but you can eat berries if you want, especially if it’s only a few of them. The whipped cream is not as optional, though, and I highly recommend adding it to the keto muffins.

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup roasted almonds
  • cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon erythritol

  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 drop liquid stevia
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Add the almonds to a food processor.
  • Process the nuts into small pieces, leaving a few large chunks for texture.
  • Place the crushed almonds in a pan over medium-high heat and allow them to toast. Make sure to keep an eye on them and stir as needed.
  • While the nuts are toasting, combine the almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a ramekin or microwave-safe container, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, and butter. Microwave for 30–40 seconds or until completely melted.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, liquid stevia, and peanut butter mixture to the dry ingredients.

  1. You had me until I saw…peanut butter. Can I leave it out without affecting the texture or use another nut butter such as almond or walnut ?

    • Sure! In any recipe I post, any nut butter will do just as well as peanut butter. I just tend to have peanut butter on hand and don’t always have the time to make my almond butter 😛

  2. Rachel R. says

    I made these this morning and they were delicious! I used a sprinkle of crumbled bacon instead of the toasted almonds and the kids loved them. 🙂 Mine didn’t fluff up pretty like yours though, is there baking powder that didn’t get added somewhere? Thanks!

    • Rachel,

      Glad to hear the kids liked them! There wasn’t any baking powder in these, but you could add 1/2 tsp. or 1 tsp. if yours weren’t fluffing up. The eggs alone were enough for mine to rise properly. Hope that helps!

      • Rachel R.. says

        Thanks Craig! At least I didn’t do anything wrong… Maybe I’ll try just beating the eggs a bit extra next time. Definitely a repeat-worthy recipe!

  3. I just wanted to let you know I made these and they turned out amazing. The tasted EXACTLY like french toast, which surprised me for some reason. Anyway, I added a tsp of baking powder, a tsp of xanthan gum, and I whipped the eggs and added them last. This made 12 decent size muffins for me. Enjoyed them with a drizzle of Walden Farms Sugar Free Maple Syrup!

  4. Hi Craig. I am so happy that i found your site. I need a bit of assistance. I have been banting for a while but i am struggling with losing weight as i think i ate too much fat. I also like to eat food that i look forward to and i do not like bacon and eggs or something rich in the morning. For breakfast i feel that something with flour works for me.

    My main challenge is to make sure my portions are fine and at the end of the day that my fat,carb and protein intake makes sense so i can lose weight. so your French Toast Muffin sounds perfect with cream and berries in the morning. My length is 1.7 meter and my weight 65, i do medium workout twice a week. So how many muffins would you recommend for breakfast? I would think 2 muffins is fine but will this be filling enough?

    Would also like an idea of the Calories or Kj’s per meal that you would recommend for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
    Sorry for the rambling, but i am so happy i have someone to ask.
    Regards
    Lana

    • Hi Lana – happy to hear you like the website. I would suggest using the keto calculator on the website to figure out your macros and figure out what will work for you for losing weight. Then you can apply that as you like for breakfast/lunch/dinner as long as the meals are balanced.

      Hope that helps!

  5. Hiya, I have made these 6 times now. First tine weren’t quite sweet enough but texture was good. Second batch was near on perfect. Then every batch since have ended up hollow. I have tried mixing it less as the eggs may have been over airated, cooking lower heat for longer and shorter but cannot for the life of me figure out why they end up hollow. Please, if you had this problem too can you help me out with a solution? These are so good but disappointing when I just can’t get them right 🙁

    • Hm, I’m not sure why. I immediately jump to the egg whites if they’re turning hollow – maybe overwhipping; though location might have a play on it too. Are you at a high altitude?

      • Hi Craig,
        I live quite close to sea level so not high up or anything. I have tried mixing it as little as possible to the point where there was still lumps in it and i have still had them turn out hollow. I put blueberries in them a couple of times and they still turned out hollow. The only other thing different I have done is left out the roasted almonds on the top as I had forgotten to get the almonds when buying ingridients.

        • Hm, I’m not 100% sure what might be happening. Lightly tapping the pan to get rid of air bubbles might help some. Maybe adding a tiny bit more fat into the batter would help keep its density.

  6. Anyone have experience with these by freezing them? Thanks!

  7. Soooo good! I used toasted pecan chips on top because I didn’t have any almonds.

    I was surprised how well they rose – I had thought about adding a bit of baking powder but did not, and was glad because they rose so well without it. https://uploads.disquscdn.chttps://uploads.disquscdn.c

  8. Elyse a Blackston says

    Could I substitute the erythritol and liquid stevia and use the Monk fruit sweetener? Has anyone tried this? When I did the conversions to replace the two it ends up being 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp of the monk fruit sweetness.

  9. How long will these keep in the fridge? Thanks in advance!
