Keto Instant Pot Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 1 ½ tbsp golden flaxseed meal
- 4 ½ tablespoon erythritol sweetener, I used Swerve, (or use coconut sugar for Paleo)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries

Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl combine: coconut flour, flaxseed meal, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Mix and break up any clumps and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine almond milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until clump free. Gently fold in the blueberries. Set aside.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
- Fill six reusable silicone cupcake baking liners ¾ of the way up with the muffin batter. The batter is thick, and you will need to press the dough down into the cups with your fingers.
- Place a 10-inch sheet of tin foil on top of the steamer rack. Place the muffin cups on top of the foil-lined rack and fold excess foil up around the sides of the muffins. Using the rack handles, lower the rack with the muffins into the inner pot of the Instant Pot
- Place a second sheet of tin foil over the top of the muffins to cover them. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure release handle to Sealing.
- Select Pressure Cook (Manual) on High Pressure and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- Once cooking time is complete, use the Natural Release method for 10 minutes and then Quick Release the remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and remove tin foil cover. Using the rack handles, lift the rack with muffins out of the pot. Serve.

Carla says
Can you use frozen blueberries when they are not in season?
Stacey says
Yes, Carla, you can defrost and use frozen berries in the recipe.
Carla says
Thank you!
Megan says
Do we need to refrigerate these after they are made?
Stacey says
Megan, yes, I would cover & refrigerate them.
Jill M says
Yummy! These were easy to make & delicious!
I gave the recipe to my co-worker who doesn't have an instapot - can you give oven instructions also?
Stacey says
Thank you, Jill. You can bake them at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes in an oven.
Ron Mason says
Is the aluminum foil necessary? We avoid it completely...may be linked to Alzheimers disease.
Would the recipe work without it or would it work with parchment paper?
Stacey says
Yes, you can use parchment paper as well.
Blythe Holynski says
I made these, and they're great - but my nutritional stats are very different than yours. Calories are almost the same, but carbs came in at 18, with a net of 16 each... and this is with me making 7 muffins, not 6. Thoughts?? They're so good, though- I will try them agsin & maybe modify somethimg.
Stacey says
Blythe, did you minus the carbs from the Swerve (they cancel out)?
Amanda says
How do you store the leftovers?
Stacey says
Covered in a container in the fridge for about 4 days.
Rose says
This looks great .. I'd like to substitute almond flour for the coconut and flax. Can I use the same amounts?
Darryl says
I don't have an instant pot, am I missing out?
Stacey says
Darryl, you can use the oven for these 🙂
Cristina Curp says
ooohh made with coconut and flax?!?! I can totally eat these! Score!!!!
Stacey says
Thank you, Cristina, so glad they workout for your food restrictions.
Katja says
Instant Pot muffins?!? I had no idea. YUM!!
Stacey says
Usually, this kind of experiment goes horribly wrong, but this one turned out good!
Renee Kohley says
No way! That is so fun and super easy! Can't wait to try this!
Stacey says
Still surprised it worked, but I made them several times and success each time! Next, I will try using a double rack to get in a dozen in the pot and see if that works??
Jean says
Muffins in the Instant Pot? What a genius idea! I definitely need to use my IP more for desserts.
Stacey says
Thanks, Jean. There are a few desserts that work well in the IP.
Sarah Cummings says
These look delicious!! Blueberries are my favourite fruit. I've gotta try these!
Stacey says
Thank you, Sarah 🙂
ChihYu says

Thank you so much, ChihYu.
Emily @ Recipes to Nourish says
I love that you made these in the Instant Pot!!! Such a great idea and I love those silicone muffin wrappers, so cute!
Stacey says
Thank you, Emily, I was fully expecting them not to turn out or rise at all. I was surprised at how great they turned out and that they rise as much as they would in the oven!
Tessa Simpson says
I have not tried muffins in my IP yet!! But my family goes through a dozen muffins pretty quick....love the keto friendly part too!
Stacey says
I know, I wish I could fit more muffins in there! Maybe I can get a double rack and stack them for a dozen to fit.
