Tips for Making Light and Fluffy Keto Muffins

Here are a couple of quick and useful tips that might help you out if you’ve been struggling to nail that perfect ‘light and fluffy’ texture for your keto muffins:

Don’t forget the baking powder. While almond flour and coconut flour are obvious keto baking staples, you’ll still need to add in the baking powder as well in order for your muffins to rise properly when baking.
Don’t overmix the batter. Make sure not to overmix the batter when beating the ingredients together, otherwise you run the risk of collapsing the air bubbles and ruining that fluffy texture that you’re looking for.

Best Way to Store These Keto Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

The best way to store your keto cinnamon swirl muffins is to simply keep them sealed up tight inside of an airtight container. You’ll be able to keep them in the fridge like this for up to 4-5 days before they start to go bad.

When you’re ready to reheat them, you can simply microwave them for 30 seconds to soften them up a little bit.
