How to Make Sugar Free Honey Bran Muffins
Sifting the Flour
When using King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour, sifting is important. all low-carb flours tend to be denser and sifting will help by adding air into the flour. When making low-carb baked goods, it is a struggle to get a light bake. It always seems that cookies and breads end up heavier and less enjoyable. Sifting is a step in every recipe that can help to achieve a better overall result.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
When mixing the dry ingredients, it is helpful to whisk them together, even though you will have already sifted the flour. Whisking will help the batter light.
Wet Ingredients
For the best results, keep your wet ingredients at room temperature. If the eggs are in the refrigerator, place them in warm water for a few minutes before making the recipe. If you have a softening feature on your microwave, use it to warm cold butter. Room-temperature ingredients will result in a creamier batter when adding the dry ingredients.
Making the Batter
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk while mixing on low speed. if you find the batter to be too thick, add an egg white or a tablespoon of milk,. If the batter is too thick, the muffins will not have a smooth top after baking.
Baking
Preheat your oven before baking.

Helpful Tips and FAQs
Flour Substitutions
King Arthur keto Wheat Flour Substitutions
Almond Flour – Almond flour can be used at a 1 to 1 ratio, but alterations may be needed to the liquid ingredients. Using Almond Flour will also affect the final height/rise of the muffins, bread or cake. Almond Flour is finely ground almonds (skins removed) which can also change the overall flavour. Expect a nuttier flavour with a denser texture.
Coconut Flour – Coconut flour can be used as a low-carb replacement. As with almond flour, you will need to alter the liquid ingredients. Coconut flour tends to be absorbent, meaning you may need to add extra liquid to compensate. To maintain the calorie and carb content, adding extra egg or egg whites is a good option. You may lose some of the flavour, due to the coconut flavour. The end bake will also be denser.
Carbalose Flour – This is another excellent substitution for King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour. The ratio is 1-1 with the K.A. Keto Flour. One must-do of Carbalose Flour is that you need to sift it well. Sift it at least once, but twice is better. It is a dense flour and the sifting will help to add some air and lighten it up. You may need to alter the liquid ingredients. having extra egg whites on hand makes it easy to alter liquids as you go.
All-Purpose Flour – As with most non-low-carb recipes all-purpose flour is the main ingredient. You can easily switch out the King Arthur Keto Flour with All Purpose on a 1-1 ratio. Reduce the amount of baking powder to almost half. You may also need to reduce the liquids. It is a good idea to add the liquid ingredients slowly so that if your batter seems to be getting thin, you can reduce the liquid. The use of all-purpose will increase the carbs significantly.
Sweetener Substitutions
I use Splenda granulated whenever possible as it does not negatively impact my blood sugar. I find that sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols cause my blood sugar to rise. If this is not a concern for you or you have a preferred sweetener, by all means, make substitutions that suit your preferences and dietary needs. Keep in mind that substituting the sweetener may change the overall nutritional information.

Add-ins
Popular add-ins are nuts. Walnut pieces, pecan pieces or a favourite chopped nut are good low-carb add-ins. Not all nuts are equal. Some nuts, such as Cashews and Pistachios are higher in carbs and should be used sparingly when adhering to strict low-carb diets.
Freezing and Storing Instructions
These sugar free honey bran muffins freeze exceptionally well. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
Store at room temperature or refrigerated for 4-5 days. When serving, microwave for 5-8 seconds to soften.
