How Do You Make Healthy Chocolate Muffins?
The right sweetener is key here. I recommend Swerve Sweeteneror Lakanto Monkfruit will work well.
The key to healthy muffins is also Almond Flour as opposed to all-purpose flour.
Is Coconut Flour ok for Keto Diet?
Coconut flour is absolutely fine for the keto diet. I rarely use coconut flour in desserts, especially a dessert like this one. Coconut flour is really dry. Do not substitute coconut flour for almond flour in this recipe. You will not get the same results.
Can I Replace All-Purpose Flour with Almond Flour?
You can use almond flour as a substitute for many recipes using all-purpose flour, but it isn’t a 1:1 switch. Almond flour and all-purpose have 1:2 ratio, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour = 1 1/2 cups almond flour.
How Do You Store Keto Chocolate Muffins for Future Use?
I like to store the muffins in tightly sealed Ziploc bags.
Are Keto Chocolate Muffins Freezer Friendly?
Yes, but I prefer the texture of when they are fresh the best.
How Do You Make Moist Chocolate Muffins?
As noted above, do not use coconut flour. Coconut flour will dry out the muffins. Using melted butter is also key in this recipe.
How Do You Keep Keto Chocolate Muffins From Falling Apart?
Check out this post on 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Making Muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter. Use a Silicone Spoon and only beat to combine the ingredients.
- Fill each muffin tin about halfway.
- Remove the muffin cups from the tin immediately upon removing the tin from the oven.
- The longer the muffins stand, the less soft they will become. They will firm more as they stand.

The keto lifestyle can sometimes cause me to get dizzy and have brain fog. It can be really hard to focus. Each night before bed I like to drink bone broth. Kettle and Fire is my favorite brand. They have beef and chicken flavors. I add a little liquid aminos and hot sauce for flavor. You can sip it from a mug or eat it like a miso soup in a bowl.
I add 1 tablespoon of MCT oil to my coffee in the morning. This helps add additional fat to support keto macros and also helps with keto flu.

Keto Low-Carb Double Chocolate Chip Muffins (Gluten-Free)
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder be sure to use pure cocoa powder, especially for gluten-free
- ½ cup sugar-free sweetener I used Swerve
- 2 teaspoons baking powder if gluten-free use gluten-free baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sugar-free chocolate chips I used Lily's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a muffin tin with muffin/cupcake liners.
- Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir.
- Add in the melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla, and almond milk. Stir well with a silicone spoon.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Stir.
- Add the batter to the muffin tin.
- Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Mine were ready right at 20 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven. Remove each muffin from the tins immediately. If you allow the muffins to sit in the tin they are more likely to crumble. The muffins will become more firm upon standing

The recipe asked for 2 cups of almond flour and your video shows less than 2 cups used. The instructions are incorrect. So now I have to double my recipe.
staysnatched
No, you are sadly mistaken. Both the video and written instructions are correct. Follow the recipe.

Delicious…and so easy to make. I did not use cupcake liners and mine were absolutely fabulous….a little crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside!

What are the nutrients for this recipe? What are the Net Carbs, Sugar, Any Protein, Calories for each muffin?? thanks

Ericka
These were so good I couldn’t believe they are only 2g net carbs! I have calculated the net carbs myself and I’m getting 8g net carbs per muffin. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I never was a math genius lol!
I get this:
360 total carbs-152 fiber-108 erythritol= 100 g net carbs/12 muffins= 8.3 net carbs per muffin
Please correct me if I’m wrong! Thanks!!
staysnatched
What brands are you using in the recipe? I use Nature’s Eats blanched almond flour. If you do not use the exact brands I use, your macros will differ.
Joanna
Can i use erythritol as sugar substitute? Thanks

Sandy
Amazing! Thank you for the recipe.

Question please… why cant you use confection sugar in the recipe. I had a helper and they dumped it in before I knew it
staysnatched
It will modify the texture. Confectioners is used in recipes like whipped toppings.

Can I use a mini cupcake pan to make more and how many would equal 1 regular cupcake.
staysnatched
I’ve never done this. But I assume you can.
Onilda
Just tried the recipe and the texture was awesome and looked just like yours, but they way too bitter to eat I’m not sure what I did wrong.
staysnatched
You should add more sweetener if you like them really sweet.
Margaret
Thank you for this recipe. Perfectly hit the spot. I halved the recipe so I wouldn’t have 12 chocolate muffins taunting me! Haha. It worked perfectly.
staysnatched
ha ha! I love that!
Joan Williamson
Can I substitute Spenda baking blend and how much would I use?
staysnatched
I don’t use artificial sweeteners so I’m not sure. The sweetener I use measures 1:1 for table/sugar and refined sugar. Refer to the packaging and labels to see what the standard sugar conversion is.
Rashida
Can I use regular milk in place of the almond milk
staysnatched
Sure if you want, but regular milk has sugar.
Caz
These are absolutely delicious, by far the best keto treat I have found, thank you!

You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed them!

I saw this post on your IG today. I already had all of the ingredients in my pantry. Picked up some Lily’s chocolate chips on the way home & it was on.. easiest low carb chocolate chip muffins I’ve ever made! Super yummy! Thanks!
staysnatched
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Chris
I tried this recipe but all I have to cook is an air fryer toaster oven. Overall it was ok but at the recommended temp they started to burn on top at 10 min. Also was a little strong on the cocoa flavor and not quite sweet enough. Also mine didn’t come out fluffy. They were very dense. Any recommendations? I can tweak the flavor but was wondering if you have any ideas as far as temp and time
staysnatched
I haven’t tested these in the toaster oven, so I don’t have any specific guidance for you. They likely started to burn because your temperature was too high. When this happens, I test the recipe again and lower the temperature.
Todd Watrous
I made 18 cup cakes instead of muffins,it did take 8 minutes longer in oven, but taste great,can’t wait to put vanilla ice cream on top…
staysnatched
That sounds so good!
Todd watrous
I use monkfruit ,came out great..
staysnatched
Glad you enjoyed them!
Sally
This is my second time making these muffins and every time they come out better than before. Add a scoop of ice cream and you’re good to go! I advise everyone to try them. They are sooooo easy to make!
staysnatched
I love the ice cream idea!
Suzanne
Absolutely flawless chocolate muffin recipe, they don’t taste fake or keto. Texture is not too dense and they’re not super sweet which I love. I think you created the perfect chocolate keto treat! These are going into my regular rotation for sure!!!! Thank you!
