Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
  • 2/3 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend), plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk), room temperature
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil, cooled slightly
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (plus a few extra for topping)
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp brewed coffee or espresso for deeper chocolate flavor

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, breaking up any clumps.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla, and optional coffee until smooth.
  4. Bring it together: Pour wet mixture into dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick but scoopable. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Portion: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle a few extra chips on top for a bakery look.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. They firm up as they cool.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. For maximum gooey chips, rewarm for 10–15 seconds in the microwave.
