These are the best keto double chocolate muffins you’ll ever make. Incredibly chocolatey, moist yet fluffy with crispy tops. Enjoy scrumptious low carb muffins that look and taste just like the ones you can find in the bakeries.
You are going to love these Paleo Chocolate Muffins, which are only 3g net carbs and are perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.
Easy to make in under 30 minutes, these muffins are extremely tasty, and my favorite gluten-free muffins of all-time, although I can’t deny that I also love a good keto blueberry muffin or my low carb pumpkin muffins.
Ingredients for Keto Double Chocolate Muffins
These perfectly moist and rich muffins need only a few low carb ingredients. All the ingredients are grain-free and sugar-free.
In this recipe, I also experimented with a different gluten-free flour: golden flaxseed meal, and I’m impressed.
Here are all the ingredients needed:
- large eggs
- almond flour – I highly recommend using super-fine almond flour that’s made by grinding up blanched almonds (skins removed). You will get a much lighter, fluffier texture with a less grainy taste in the final chocolate muffins.
- golden flaxseed meal or coconut flour
- Powdered Sweetener -I used my favorite Erythritol and Monk Fruit Sweetener that has no after-taste, and it’s zero carbs ( (Use “LOWCARBSPARK10” at checkout for 10% discount).
- cocoa powder
- espresso powder – This one is optional, but I highly recommend it as it enhances and intensifies the chocolate taste
- unsalted butter or coconut oil*
- whipping cream or coconut cream
How to Make Keto Chocolate Muffins
Well, these gluten-free chocolate muffins are easy to make in just one bowl.
You can watch the step-by-step video I made to see exactly how easy it is to make these scrumptious muffins and what’s the texture of the batter before baking.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sweetener and a pinch of salt.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until no lumps remain.
- Stir in the whipping cream and warm water using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate the softened butter and sugar-free chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter into your muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the top is firm. Keep an eye on them, as this varies from oven to oven.
