Flourless Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins
This muffin recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a gluten free, sugar free and yummy little snack with your afternoon coffee or breakfast. I made the batch for this video and it was gone in less than an hour.
The ingredients here are super straight forward and wholesome. The almond flour is just ground up almonds that look like a flour/sand consistency. I used to eggs to bind the batter. You can use any milk you like to make this dairy free. You can even use water. The maple syrup can be substituted with honey or sugar free syrup to make it keto friendly.
For the oil, I like to use avocado oil when baking since it has a very neutral flavor profile. I highly recommend it. Check Costco for some in a larger size. You can use melted and cooled coconut oil or butter, or sunflower oil in its place. I added in mini chocolate chips and shredded unsweetened coconut shreds but you can use any add ins you like.

So simple and much healthier! Thank you for this recipe! My husband and two little boys (as well as I) devour them every time. Definitely a keeper if I make more than once.
Love the recipe
Hi Gloria, thanks for trying them out!
I made these with almond milk and regular sized chocolate chips. Turned out great but will definitely use mini chips next time and add some coconut. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
HI Bab, so glad they were enjoyed! Thanks for the kind comment!
By mistake I put 1tbsp salt instead of 1 teaspoon.😭
These mini muffins are so pretty in shape and size. What mini muffin pan do you use?

Can you put the batter into bigger muffin trays and if so does it change the cooking time?
Yes, you would increase cook time by 4-5 minutes. But to make sure, when a toothpick comes out mostly clean they are done!
My step son has a special diet due to his health and came across these. They are his absolute favourite. So nice to find a good easy recipe that he loves. We have had so much trail and error and wasted food but these are his favourite and his face lights up everytime I make them for him. Thank you so much
Was wondering why preheat 280… Then put in the oven then change to 325?
Hi Chantelle, you want the gradual heat increase since they are so tiny and made with almond flour.
Hi!! I tried to make this today and followed your recipe but substituted coconut flour for the almond flour. The batter came out sandy/crumbly. Do you think this is from using different flour??
Hi Jen, I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work but you definitely can’t sub in coconut flour here. It wouldn’t work for these muffins.
Hi just wondering. Can I substitute with oat flour?? My son has an nut allergy
Yes – should work with oat flour!
How do you store these? Refrigerator or room temp?
Can they be frozen?
Hi Lisa, I store these on the counter in an airtight container – they should last 3 days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge for 5 days.
I loved this easy to make recipe😍
Hi Valéria! so good right?!? glad you enjoyed!
These are delicious lil muffins! Nice to have around when you need a small sweet treat that is much healthier for you than store bought, preservative laden, junk food snacks.
Hi Karen! Exactly my theory with these little guys! Glad you like them!
