Keto Chocolate Muffins
Yep! Double the chocolate, double the taste, double the taste bud pleasure! These almond flour chocolate chip muffins, keto of course, are not only moist but will knock your socks off with flavor.
Sometimes people think they have to say goodbye to chocolate when they decide to follow the keto diet, but I am here to tell you that there are PLENTY of keto chocolate options out there.
These keto chocolate muffins are great for breakfast, for dessert, for a snack and for taking on the go!
I’m going to let you on a little secret. I have this weird habit of putting butter on EVERYTHING. When these muffins are warm, slathering a little butter on them is OMG good!!
Is Chocolate Keto Friendly?
Regular milk chocolate or regular semi-sweet chocolate is not keto friendly. However, there are many brands that make keto friendly chocolate. My favorites are Lily’s and ChocZero. Both have incredible tasting chocolate with lots of different options.
Regular baking chocolate is also inherently keto friendly. But this is much more bitter than people are usually accustomed to for muffins like these. So stick with the keto chocolate chips!
What Other Flours Can I Use for Keto Chocolate Muffins?
I would stick with almond flour for this one. Coconut flour will dry these out and they won’t be as fluffy and moist. If you have a favorite almond flour substitute (like sunflower seed flour) then give it a shot. The taste will be different, so just be aware of that.
At the end of the day – this almond flour chocolate muffin recipe is BEST with almond flour!
How to Store Almond Flour Chocolate Muffins
Right…. That assumes you’ll actually have leftovers which is highly unlikely. If you are going to eat them pretty quickly, then leaving them on the counter is fine. But if they will not be consumed within at least 12 hours, I would store them in an airtight container and put them in the fridge! They will stay fresh and yummy for at least 3-4 days.
Can I Use Other Flavors of Chocolate Chips?
You most certainly can! In fact, one of my favorite substitutions is to use ChocZero’s white chocolate chips. The deep chocolate of the muffins with the refreshing white chocolate chips gives these muffins a whole new taste!
I also think a mint flavor or a caramel flavor would be tasty!
