Honestly, chocolate doesn’t have to be your enemy on a low carb diet. The darker the chocolate, the lower the sugar content is likely to be. Sugar is the real enemy when you’re eating keto.

When you’re craving the texture and flavor of muffins it’s hard to beat Carbquik recipes. Use some dried fruit or fresh berries and Carbquik to make these delicious low carb scuffins. They’re a cross between a low carb scone and low carb muffin that are sure to satisfy your sweet craving.
Why You Should Try Carbquik Recipes
- Fast. Ready in less than 30 minutes .
- Easy. A simple pour and cook recipe .
- Low Carb . Only 9 net carbs per serving.
- Delicious. Packed with all of the delicious flavors of a fruit-filled muffin without all of the carbs.
I love fruitcake. I mean, I LOVE fruitcake. To be honest though, I love all cake. While I have several low carb cake recipes , I was really craving a fruit cake. Now let me say this: these do not taste like fruit cake. These scuffins just taste good.
What are Scuffins?
They’re too moist to be scones and not wet and sugary enough to be muffins. Hence, scuffins. They taste like sweet American biscuits–with fruit in them. I would slather lots of butter on them and enjoy them that way while hot.
The next day, we toasted them and they were fantastic that way as well. It’s kinda hard to go wrong with these low carb scones or scuffins if you ask me.
Is Carbquik OK For Keto?
Yes, Carbquik is a great solution to replace flour if you’re eating a low carb diet. It has 16 carbs per serving, but it also has 14 grams of dietary fiber, so you’re only consuming 2 net carbs per serving when you make Carbquik recipes using it.
Can You Replace Flour With Carbquik?
Yes, you can replace flour with Carbquik. However, you can’t just use it as flour in any recipe and expect the same results.
Carbquik isn’t just a low carb flour replacement. It also has other ingredients they are:
- Carbalose™ flour
- Palm and palm kernel oil
- Buttermilk powder
- Baking powder
- Egg white powder
- Lecithin
- Salt
How Are These Low Carb Scuffins?
You will need to get CarbQuick flour to make these with. It’s an easy way to make these low carb without buying separate flours.
I don’t know, nutritionally, how to account for the fact that the initial wash, soak, and drain steps get rid of all the added sugar from the fruit. The recipe may have fewer carbs than I state on the nutrition label below.
What Fruits Are Good To Use In Carbquik Recipes?
When choosing the fruits to make Carbquik recipes with, you will need to keep some things in mind.
- Different fruits have different carb counts. If you’re unsure as to which fruits are low-carb or Keto friendly, you can check out my post on the best Low Carb Fruits and Vegetables .
- Dried fruits can be loaded with added sugars. Try and find dried fruits that have no added sugar to make these low-carb.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3/4 cup Dried Fruit, soaked for an hour OR 1 cup Fresh Mixed Berries - Adds natural sweetness, bursts of flavor, and chewy or juicy texture to the scuffins. Soaking dried fruit softens it for better incorporation, while fresh berries keep the scuffins light and moist.
- 2 cups Carbquick Baking Mix - Serves as the low-carb flour substitute, giving structure and body to the scuffins while keeping carbs minimal. It helps create a tender crumb similar to traditional baked goods.
- 1/4 cup Butter - Provides richness, flavor, and moisture. Butter helps create the slightly crumbly texture reminiscent of a scone while enhancing the overall taste.
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream - Adds fat and creaminess, keeping the scuffins soft and moist. It also contributes to the tender texture and helps the dough come together easily.
- 1 Egg - Acts as a binder, helping the ingredients hold together. The egg also adds lift and contributes to the light, muffin-like texture.
- 1/3 cup Truvia - Provides sweetness without the added sugar, keeping the recipe low-carb and keto-friendly while enhancing the flavor of the fruit and almond extract.
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract - Adds a warm, nutty aroma and depth of flavor that complements both the butter and the fruit, giving the scuffins a bakery-style finish.
How Do You Make Scuffins?
- Soak one cup of dried mixed fruit (very little to no sugar added) in 2 cups of hot water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and add fresh hot water and cover for another 30 minutes. You are doing this to get rid of any sugar added to the fruit, and also to rehydrate the dried fruit.
- Using a strainer , allow the fruit to drain for 15 minutes.
- If using fresh fruit, skip this step.
- Preheat oven to 375F
- While the fruit drains and the oven preheats use a pastry cutter to cut butter into the Carbquik .
- In a separate bowl, mix egg, 1/2 cup heavy cream, almond essence, and sugar substitute .
- Add to dry mixture, and mix until well blended.
- Fold in rehydrated mixed fruit or fresh berries. Form into 12 balls and place on a greased cookie sheet . Push down to flatten slightly and neaten edges.
- Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until the tops are browned and a toothpick inserted inside is clean.
Tips And Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks for making low carb scuffins to help you get the perfect texture and flavor every time:
- Don’t Overmix the Batter . Mix just until combined. Overmixing can make your scuffins dense instead of light and fluffy.
- Use Cold Butter . If you’re aiming for a more scone-like crumb, start with cold butter and cut it into the Carbquick mix before adding wet ingredients. This helps create a tender, flaky texture.
- Soak Dried Fruit Thoroughly . If using dried fruit, soak it for at least an hour in warm water or a splash of orange juice to plump it up and distribute moisture evenly throughout the batter.
- Fold in Fresh Berries Gently . When using fresh berries, gently fold them in at the end to prevent crushing and streaking the batter.
Variations
Here are some delicious and creative variations for low carb scuffins to keep your breakfasts exciting and perfectly Pinterest-worthy:
- Lemon Blueberry Scuffins - Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to the batter, then fold in fresh blueberries. Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered erythritol and lemon juice for a bakery-style finish.
- Chocolate Chip Scuffins - Stir in ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips for a sweet twist. These taste like dessert but stay keto-friendly. They’re perfect with a cup of coffee.
- Coconut Almond Scuffins - Mix in ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut and top with sliced almonds before baking. A light almond glaze made with Truvia and almond extract takes them over the top.
What To Eat With Carb Quick Muffins
Low carb scuffins are wonderfully versatile .They can be enjoyed as a grab-and-go breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or even part of a cozy brunch spread. Here are some tasty pairings to make your meal complete:
- Hot Coffee or Cold Brew - The buttery, slightly sweet flavor of scuffins pairs beautifully with a cup of rich black coffee, espresso, or keto-friendly cold brew.
- Smoothies - Serve with a creamy mango smoothie, keto chocolate shake, or berry protein smoothie for a balanced, energizing breakfast.
- Scrambled Eggs or Omelets - Add a savory side like eggs with cheese, spinach, or bacon for extra protein and a hearty low-carb meal.
How Long Do They Last?
Low carb scuffins stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator, where they’ll keep well for up to 5 days without drying out.
Can You Freeze Them?
If you’d like to make a larger batch, you can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just wrap each scuffin individually in plastic wrap or store them in a freezer-safe bag.
When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore their light, freshly baked texture.
