Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins

29 ratings

Whether you are looking for a treat to satisfy your sweet tooth or something to snack on between meals, these Keto chocolate chip muffins are the answer. This low-carb cake is rich, decadent, and filled with oozing chocolate chips. The muffins explode with flavors of vanilla and chocolate, which pair perfectly together. We guarantee you, this recipe is one of the best Keto chocolate recipes you’ll ever try.

How can you store these muffins?

Unlike many Keto-friendly chocolate recipes, this one is super easy to store. Once the muffins finish baking, let them cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. They will stay fresh for 3-4 days on your counter or a week in your fridge. To freeze these moist muffins, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and place them in the freezer for 2-3 months. To thaw, put them in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a couple of hours.

Are these muffins moist?

We know what you’re thinking; there is nothing worse than biting into a dry and crumbly muffin. Don’t worry because these Keto chocolate chip muffins are mouthwatering. The secret to their pillowy texture is the sour cream in the batter. You can substitute the sour cream with cream cheese or yogurt, but make sure not to skip it. An essential factor in this recipe is to use the sour cream at room temperature; otherwise, you’ll end up with a lumpy batter.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, it is! This low-carb muffin recipe uses almond flour as a base, which is naturally gluten-free. Also, none of the other ingredients contain gluten. We guarantee you that these chocolate chip muffins will become your favorite whether you are gluten-free or not.

Can you adapt this recipe to a nut-free diet?

This recipe is made with almond flour which isn’t suitable for people who are intolerant to nuts. The good news is, you can adapt this recipe to a nut-free diet by substituting the same amount of almond flour with sunflower seed flour.

    These are sooo good! Even my husband likes them. I did cut back on the sweetener. Use 1/2 C lakanto monk fruit erythritol blend. May try 1/3 cup next time, and there's definitely going to be a next time!

          Really tasty, easy to make and try exchanging the choc chips for fruit or a favouring, lemon essence was great and also pecan nuts 😋

            So good with blueberries instead.

              I made these but I used blueberries instead of chocolate and let me say that those blueberries took those muffins to my happy place and we had a conversation! Much better than using chocolate.

                Really good. I substituted with tofutti sour cream and margarine as well as Splenda for the sweetener. They came out great.

                  So yummy! Really good warmed up with butter on them ;) I didn’t have sour cream so used Greek yogurt and it worked fine and didn’t affect the carb count. Only issue was the chocolate chips all sank to the bottom of the muffins, so I just ate them upside down.

                    Little trick I learned! Before adding the chocolate chips, get them wet and then toss them in a little bit of the almond flour and then add them to the mix. The flower helps them stay afloat. Works every time!

                    Delicious!! So easy and the nicest muffin recipe I have found so far. Lower carb than most of the others too so a win win I swapped out the chocolate chips for some lemon zest and that was great too.

                          Did you use this instead of sour cream and erythritol? How did that impact the net carb count?

                        Absolutely loved it!! I read a review that said to put 1/2 monkfruit sweetener instead and that was definitely the way to go! Definitely will make again!

                          These weren't bad for a desperate treat while doing the keto diet. The consistency just isn't it for me. The reviews had me pumped up but that consistency caught me completely off guard. I'm new to this so I'm learning. Trial and error.

                            I really love these for a treat I pop one in the microwave for 25 seconds with a nice cup of coffee. It’s delicious.

                                Yes, and it’s delicious. I uses two packets of stevia.

                              Soooo good! Used 1/2 cup of monk fruit sweetener instead and they were perfect. Also used Forager Project dairy free sour cream.

                                Do you get the "cooling" effect from the Monk Fruit Sweetener? I've been trying so many and they all just have a weird, almost "acidic" taste or aftertaste. I've been really struggling to male some sweets, but honestly they have all been nasty.

                              Absolutely hit the spot when I had a sweet craving. Shared this with my teenage son and a friend. Was asked to bake some more. Definitely a favorite!

                                Delish! Agreed with other reviewers—a bit too sweet for me, so I will lower that next round, but otherwise, a perfect little treat!

                                  Wow! I had low expectations for these, but they were amazing!! The texture is so fluffy, and they’re not to sweet! Perfect.
