One criticism I hear from people who are new to this way of eating is that keto breakfasts seem to rely mostly eggs and bacon.

I totally understand where those folks are coming from. If you browse social media hashtags, you’ll see a plethora of photos containing bacon and eggs.

While those foods are delicious and warmly welcomed, there are many other foods you can enjoy at your breakfast table, like these keto lemon poppyseed muffins!

Making Keto Lemon Poppyseed Muffins At Home

This low carb muffin recipe couldn’t be any easier to make. One bowl and one whisk is really all you need to prep these scrumptious keto lemon poppyseed muffins!

Here’s what you need:

One large mixing bowl
One whisk or hand mixer (preferred)
Measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Muffin tin (6, 12 or 24 cup)

You simply need to combine everything together in your mixing bowl, pour into your muffin tin, and bake!

When mixing your batter, make sure to whisk it until the batter smooth and slightly runny. You want to whisk out all lumps for better baking. For best results, a hand mixer or stand mixer is recommended.

Whether you want breakfast, a snack, or afternoon coffee, these keto muffins are great any time of day.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Sour cream– I used sour cream in this recipe to keep the muffins moist and provide enough fat for a tasty muffin. Also, the tang of the sour cream works better with the tang of the lemons here. I would not advise replacing the sour cream with butter or you will end up with a more cake tasting muffin (not a bad thing but not what we’re trying to achieve). You could use mayonnaise in a pinch.
Lemon juice– Fresh lemon juice or lemon extract are both fine in this recipe. When originally written, I used lemon extract and they turned out beautifully. When updating the recipe at a later date, I opted to use fresh lemon juice and zest for a fresher flavor but both will work. Just be aware that when you use lemon extract, you need significantly less because it is so much more concentrated.
Sweeteners: you can use whichever brand of zero carb sweetener you prefer. Personally, I use this in all of my recipes and prefer it because there isn’t a cooling effect with every bite.
