The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chip Muffin

Alright, my muffins lovers, this one is for you. I have been wanting muffins for the last few weeks, but we are a strict diet (not a “diet,” but a strict lifestyle to heal my husband’s gut). Eliminating things often means sucking all the fun out of life— like baking. But for real, I love fun, and I love baking.  So I got to work to come up with the perfect chocolate chip muffin that my husband could enjoy.

I could have come up with a lot of other things, but here’s the deal: we love chocolate chips in the Crawford home. We literally eat a few for dessert… like every night.  (I know, I know, it’s not really dessert.  But it does the trick for us and probably saves us a few hundred calories).

The point is… we love chocolate chips, so not only is that the obvious choice, it’s also what I have on hand.

These chocolate chip muffins are for real DELISH.  They are completely grain free— so with that comes being gluten free.  They are also completely free of refined sugar, and completely dairy free.

Side note, someone once commented on my Pinterest board telling me that my recipes must also be flavor free.

You know who you were, and I just want you to know you’re wrong.

These chocolate chip muffins are free of all the bad stuff, but they are certainly not free of flavor.  It’s quite the opposite actually. They are entirely flavorFUL. They are moist and have a fantastic texture, and they also hold up for several days without drying out!  The muffin itself is very subtly sweet, but the chocolate chips make it the perfect amount of sweetness.

Seriously, these may be the best chocolate chip muffins I have had (if you take all things into consideration, including health).

I highly recommend you get yourself in the kitchen and whip some up right now.

Enjoy!

Did you like what you saw?There's more where that came from!Your information will *never* be shared or sold to a 3rd party.

Here's what you need:

  • 8 oz almond flour (this is usually 2 cups, but it is important to weigh it)
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 c almond milk
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 c chocolate chips

Here's what you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin tin with paper liners. (I like to use mini muffin tins and make smaller muffins).
  2. Combine almond flour and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, almond milk, honey, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Divide batter evenly among muffin tin. (If you use regular muffin tins, you'll get between 9-12 muffins. If you use mini, you will get between 14-18).
  5. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove and let stand for 5-10 minutes before eating.
  6. **If desired, sprinkle tops of muffins with coconut flakes prior to baking for an alternate flavor.
