instruct
To make the Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins, you’ll first need to preheat your oven to 325°F/170°C.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
hint: Save some chocolate chips to add to the top of each cupcake.
Next, mix the wet ingredients into the batter. Add water a spoonful at a time until your batter is thick and smooth, but not dry. The batter is like a loose cookie dough batter.
Then, add 12 liners to the 12-cup muffin pan. Fill each cup with batter until 3/4 full. Next, top each muffin with a few chocolate chips.
Finally, bake the muffins in the oven on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and the tops are starting to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
hint: Keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. The batter will be like a loose cookie dough batter, not runny like a cake batter.
Substitution
When making keto chocolate chip muffins, there are a number of substitutions you can make based on personal preference or dietary restrictions:
- butter: For a dairy-free option, you can substitute melted coconut oil for the melted butter.
- Almond powder: If you are allergic to almonds, you can use ground hazelnuts or sunflower seeds.
- Almond milk: Any non-dairy milk such as coconut milk, cashew milk, or hemp milk can be used in place of almond milk.
- Chocolate Chips: If you don’t like chocolate or have a chocolate allergy, you can substitute it with unsweetened berries, chopped nuts, or a combination of both. You can also try different chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips.
By making these simple substitutions, you can make delicious and healthy keto muffins that fit your cravings and taste amazing to your taste buds’ preferences!
