Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granular erythritol or monk fruit blend (or your favorite keto sweetener)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but adds warmth)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or coconut oil)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (more if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time)
  • 2/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (plus a few extra for topping)

Method
 

  1. Prep your pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, vanilla, and almond milk until smooth.
  4. Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If it’s too thick, add 1 tablespoon more almond milk.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the tops.
  6. Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups. Sprinkle a few extra chips on top for a bakery-style finish.
  7. Bake: Place in the center of the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They firm up as they cool, so avoid removing them too early.
  9. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. For extra decadence, add a small pat of butter while warm.
