Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 cup butter (melted) or any oil of your choice
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the erythritol, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a consistent texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until the batter just comes together without overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a balanced chocolate taste in every muffin.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for an attractive bakery-style appearance.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the muffin tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and helps set the texture.
Notes
- Room temperature eggs help the batter mix better and improve the texture.
- Make sure to melt the butter before mixing it in for smooth incorporation.
- If dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or another preferred oil.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These muffins freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Using vanilla bean paste adds a richer vanilla flavor compared to extract.
- Chocolate chips can be sugar-free or keto-friendly to maintain low carb content.
