Why You’ll LOVE These Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins

These Chocolate Chip Muffins with Almond Flour have everything you’re looking for in a muffin! Light, fluffy, soft, and the perfect amount of chocolate!

They’re easy to whip up and easier to enjoy! That means if you decide to make a batch of muffins you’re sure to have a good experience by making them.

When you’re looking for a little sweet treat after lunch or late night, these are just what you’re on the hunt for.

Ingredients

Almond flour muffins may sound like something that requires special ingredients and difficult baking techniques but really it’s’ just the swap of all-purpose flour for almond flour.

To make these muffins make sure you have all your ingredients-

Almond Flour– Make sure you grab one labeled ‘super fine’!

Chocolate Chips– You definitely don’t want to forget the delicious chocolate chips!

In addition you will need some kitchen staples: veggie oil, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, milk, salt, and sugar.

How to Make These Muffins

These Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins are just like making other types of muffins. The one difference is that the mixture may look a bit ‘lumpy’ due to the almond flour.

In one bowl you add all your dry ingredients and in another all your wet ingredients. You then combine dry into wet. Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips. Lastly, add the mixture to a non-stick muffin tin until each cup is 3/4 full. Remember, this recipe is for 9 muffins!

Finally, cook until a toothpick comes out clean, allow to cool, then enjoy!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Working with Almond flour can be slightly more finicky compared to using all-purpose flour. So, be cautious and use these tips and tricks when baking your muffins.

Avoid over mixing! If you do so the mixture will be too thin and the chocolate chips will fall to the bottom of the muffin tin! That will result in a muffin with a base of chocolate. I mean, if you do, that’s not too bad, it’ll still be delicious!

Be cautious with your chocolate chips. If you add more than the recommended 1/2 cup amount it may result in them sinking! Trust me, I’ve tried this recipe multiple times with additional chocolate chips and it doesn’t have a great result.

Additions and Alterations

Making some slight additions or alterations are fine but if you make too many be cautious. It may cause the recipe to no longer come out properly.

• I am ALL FOR adding extra chocolate to desserts. Unfortunately, these muffins aren’t too strong! If you add additional weight through adding extra toppings you may end up with a flat center.
• If you like a sweeter muffin you can add up to an additional 1/4 cup of sugar.
• Feel free to use your milk of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question has been answered so far it may be here! If not, leave your question in the comments down below and I will get you an answer as I am able to.

Are these muffins gluten free?

Yes! These muffins are gluten-free as written. Always be sure to check all your ingredients for potential cross-contamination as some may have been packaged in the same facility as gluten.

Are these muffins paleo?

Not really. You would need to make a few changes. The veggie oil would need to be replaced with an paleo-friendly version like coconut oil, use a non-dairy milk, a sugar alternative, and a paleo-approved chocolate chip variety.

Keep in mind that making these changes will alter the recipe to one that I have not tested!

Are these muffins keto?

As written, no this recipe is not keto-friendly. In order to make more appropriate for someone following a keto diet (not for medical purposes) you can swap the the sugar for an alternative such as Stevia, use sugar-free chocolate chips instead of the regular version, and a low-carb milk like unsweetened almond milk instead of classic milk.

Again, keep in mind that making these changes will alter the recipe to one that I have not tested!

A Word From A Registered Dietitian

Almond flour tends to be considered a ‘health halo’ product. That means people tend to think that by eating this version of flour instead of the classic all-purpose variety it is better for them.

Unless you are someone that cannot have gluten due to sensitivities or allergies there really isn’t a huge nutritional difference between the two flours.

Cup for cup almond flour tends to have a bit more calories, more dietary fat, less carbohydrates, and more protein. This doesn’t make one better than the other, just another option!
