Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the muffins.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter evenly.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Useful Information

  • Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
