If you like strawberry treats, you will LOVE these strawberry cream cheese muffins

The combination of the strawberry and cream cheese flavor in these muffins is absolutely decadent. I use a combination of ingredients in this recipe that create an absolute flavor bomb that you are going to LOVE.

Some of the ingredients in this recipe include cream cheese, sour cream, coconut flour, strawberry extract, vanilla extract, heavy whipping cream, and coconut oil! 

I LOVE to use extracts in my recipes because they essentially work as mighty little flavor bombs. They are super versatile and can be used in any recipe that needs a bit of extra flavor!

Low carb strawberry cream cheese muffins

As with all of my new recipes, this recipe is nut free AND keto-friendly! I love to provide low carb dieters with a resource full of amazing recipes. It is so fun to show others that it is TOTALLY possible to indulge in sweets when following a low carb or ketogenic diet! 

It may come as a surprise, but these muffins only contains 1.1 grams of net carbs per serving. You can TOTALLY enjoy these muffins without sabotaging your daily carbohydrate goal!  

Sweetened with Lakanto

When making low carb treats, I have to use specific ingredients that allow me to keep the carbohydrate count to a minimum. When creating dessert recipes, I ALWAYS use Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener to add a little dose of (carb-free!) “sugary” goodness.

This stuff is the BEST, and is SO easy to use! It incorporates at a 1:1 ratio to sugar, meaning no measuring is required. You can use this stuff in ANY recipe that calls for sugar! Lakanto makes two versions: Classic and Golden. The Classic version (used in this recipe) is typically used as a substitute for white sugar, and the Golden for brown. However, you can use them interchangeably. Whichever you prefer or have on hand will be perfect in your recipe! 

Lakanto is AMAZING, and not only because of how easy it is to use. It is great because it tastes EXACTLY like sugar, meaning your recipe won’t have that weird aftertaste that is so frequently present when using other sweeteners. In addition, it is net-carb FREE, calorie-free, and ALL-NATURAL! It is also zero-glycemic, meaning it will NOT spike your blood sugar!
