Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup refined coconut oil or ghee, melted
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, divided (I used a combo of regular and mini size)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, tapioca or arrowroot flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the same bowl, mixing until just combined.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Coat 3/4 cup of chocolate chips with 1-2 teaspoons of tapioca or arrowroot flour, then fold them into the batter to prevent sinking.
- Fill the muffin liners almost to the top and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with some crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Feel free to use any milk alternative if almond milk is not available.
Experiment with different add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
