Start your morning off with some Sugar Free Blueberry Muffins. Muffins just out of the oven can make a lot of people happy. Sugar Free Blueberry Muffins I really should have named this recipe “low or no sugar added” blueberry muffins. Fresh blueberries contain about 15 grams of sugar per cup. When you do, please alert me as I would love to try one. You also know that the sugar in blueberries is a natural sugar. Thus, we will use it modestly in this recipe to keep the sugar added as low as possible.

This is a pretty classic muffin recipe. By “classic” I mean that the other ingredients that we will add are pretty standard for a muffin recipe. We will be using a sugar alternative. A granular alternative, such as Splenda works best. You can use the alternative of your choice as long as the amount that you use is the equivalent in amount to what is stated in the recipe. One cup of blueberries has a net carb count of about 17 grams.

Divide this between a dozen muffins and you will only be adding an additional carb per muffin. You will also need to use a low carb flour such as Carbalose. Alternatively, you can make this gluten free by using a gluten free all purpose flour. By the way, I also have other great sugar free muffin recipes. Check out my sugar free cornbread muffin recipe.
