Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins

22 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.

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 F /180 C. Line a muffin pan with cupcake paper casese. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder, then set the bowl aside.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    To another bowl, add the melted butter, sour cream, and sweetener. Whisk until well combined, and no lumps remain. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until a smooth mixture forms.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and fold until a smooth batter forms. Add the chocolate chips to the batter. Gently fold them in.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Divide the batter into the lined muffin pan. Each muffin should be around 2- 3 tbsp of batter. Transfer the pan to the oven.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Bake for 30-35 minutes until the surface is slightly golden. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy them warm, or store them in an airtight container for later.

    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.

              Has anyone used this with blueberries instead?

              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.

                      Easy recipe to do with keto ingredients. I just set the muffins to bake right now. I have a question about portion size. I ended up with 12 muffins. Is the serving size and macros set up for the 6 muffins that we see in the recipe or 12 which is what I ended up?

                      If net carbs are the total carbs minus fibre, the net carbs on this one is wrong! Watch out if you don’t want go over your daily carb allowance. Disappointed that those recipes aren’t checked before added to the recipes book.

                        I see the sugar alcohol thing has been addressed!

                        Minus sugar alcohol????

                        Nets carbs are minus fiber minus sugar alcohols.

                        I believe you need to deduct the sugar alcohols as well as the fiber to get net carbs?

                        This came out great being as though I didn't have any sour cream. Can someone tell me what does the sour cream add?

                        • Shockerwoman

                          Shockerwoman 3 months ago

                          I think extra protein , dairy and more fluffy muffins…. That’s what I think sour cream adds.
