These Low Carb Lemon Chia Seed Muffins are the perfect treat when you are craving baked goods on a low carb diet. Made with coconut flour, these muffins are easy to make and full of flavor.

One of the hardest things about eating low carb is leaving behind the bread and baked goods. That's where low carb muffins come into play. When you have a serious hankering for a baked good, make these simple low carb lemon muffins instead. With just 5 net carbs per muffin, they are a guilt-free treat that works for almost any low carb or keto diet.

I was so excited to try out these muffins when I first saw the recipe on Slim Palate. Not only am I a sucker for a low carb muffin, I also love anything lemon flavored so these were right up my alley. Plus I love the using chia seeds instead of the poppy seeds to add some extra protein and fiber. They make a great breakfast on the go or afternoon treat with coffee.

Let's talk about the texture of these muffins. Since we are using coconut flour, they won't be as light and airy as a normal muffin. They will be really moist and a little denser than a typical muffin. Personally, I love that and it reminds me of really moist banana bread. They also aren't overly sweet. If you like a sweeter muffin, you will want to use more liquid Stevia to get more sweetness. Experiment with the amount until you hit the sweet spot for your palette.

Also if you are like me and always wondering how you can personalize a recipe, these low carb muffins can be made with all types of citrus. So far I have also made them with lime juice and lime zest and we loved it. Turned out kind of like a key lime pie flavor, especially if you use some extra vanilla extract. Orange and grapefruit are next on my list.
