Recipe Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
What should the batter for keto cornbread muffins look like?
The batter is rather thick but don’t be putt off by it. See below is a good image to get an idea for the right consistency. You can also watch the video located in the recipe card below to see the steps and how the ingredients should interact.
How to get golden brown muffin bottoms
If you love the look and taste of a golden brown cornbread muffin, be sure not to skip the important step of generously greasing your muffin tin with a coconut oil (you can also use butter). As this layer of fat heats up in the oven it creates whats called a Maillard reaction – which breaks down sugars and proteins, creating amazing flavors. As a bonus the grease will help ensure your muffins don’t stick to the tin!
HOW MANY NET CARBS A Low Carb Cornbread Muffin
2 Net Carbs a muffin. We calculated it with this making 7 muffins so if you make more or less be sure to calculate it properly.
For this recipe and sweetness we added liquid stevia which is zero sugar alcohols. If you want a little extra sweetness a extra drop or two might work well.
However, if you end up wanting to make these without the liquid stevia and/or use another type of sweetener you can change up the type of sugar alcohol you use as well so be sure to check out our low carb conversion chart if you plan to use another type.
If you are new to this Low Carb/Keto lifestyle and are unsure what we are talking about please feel free to read up more on Net Carbs. Or start at our Low Carb & Keto 101 Starter Page.
Dairy-Free Options for this Recipe
One thing I would like to make a mention is that we stuck with making these dairy-free and used coconut oil.
Now the coconut oil is slightly noticeable in this recipe but was a nice addition. However, if you are a little deterred by that flavor then I’d strongly advise using melted butter instead if you can.
These are so good either way, and you can bet these will be my go-to next to our keto chili from here on out.

very bland from 3 people that have tried this . Needs something. The texture was good though.
Perhaps a little bit extra sweetness? We personally go rather light on sweetness but we generally are eating these with chili and not on their own.
Look so good!!
