9 Quick & Easy Low Carb Muffin Recipes (2024)

Last Updated on June 11, 2020

This low carb muffin recipe round-up is for all of you low-carbers who are tired of eating chicken and eggs. There's nothing like a low carb pastry-like treat when you haven't had sugar in a while.

The thing I love about muffins so much is that they're easy to take on-the-go while keeping your portions in control. If it's made into a loaf of bread, then the entire thing is gone by noon! Well, that's the case for me. No. Self. Control.

I hope you enjoy these quick and easy recipes and experiment a little by changing and adding ingredients to your liking. Furthermore, you can always add nuts, seeds, flax meal, protein powder and/or extracts to give them a flavor or nutritional boost!

Since we can't eat cake, then let's eat muffins instead!
