These almond flour chocolate chip muffins are based on my popular keto blueberry muffin recipe – because I thought it’s about time we get a chocolate chip version! One bite and you’ll want to have a batch of these low carb keto chocolate chip muffins ready to take on-the-go at all times! Not only are they made with nutritious almond flour, but they also feature my favorite chocolate ever, have that perfect crumb, and each one has just 3.7 grams net carbs.

If you love ChocZero as much as I do, you’ll love some of the other chocolatey recipes I’ve made with this amazing sugar-free chocolate: keto truffles, chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, and keto white chocolate macadamia cookies. (All totally keto!)

Whenever I need chocolate chips for a recipe, these are the only chocolate chips I reach for – they taste great (of utmost importance!), have a pretty clean label, and are keto friendly.

How To Make Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins

These healthy chocolate chip muffins with almond flour come together in just a few simple steps:

Stir dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and sea salt.

Add wet ingredients. Mix in melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Fold in ChocZero Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Chips.

Fill muffin cups. Divide batter evenly among lined muffin cups.

TIP: Make 10 muffins for larger muffin tops, or 12 for lower calories/carbs. Feel free to dot the tops with more chocolate chips, too!

Bake. They are done when the top is golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cool. Let muffins cool enough to handle in the muffin tin, then transfer to a cooling rack, or enjoy warm.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins FAQs

Are chocolate chip muffins healthy?

Most chocolate chip muffins are made with butter, flour, sugar, and chocolate chips… more like a dessert than a healthy breakfast!

This low carb chocolate chip muffin recipe is a healthy alternative, made with almond flour, a natural sugar-free sweetener, and sugar-free chocolate chips.

Can I make substitutions with the flour?

It’s important to use a super fine almond flour, so that your almond flour chocolate chip muffins turn out fluffy and not grainy.

Sorry, coconut flour is not a suitable substitute, but you can try putting the same chocolate chips into my coconut flour muffin recipe instead.

Can I use a different sweetener?

I recommend using monk fruit allulose blend in these muffins for best results and the moistest muffins. It tastes and bakes just like sugar — no grittiness or aftertaste like some sugar substitutes. Check out my sweetener conversion chart for other sweetener conversions if you really prefer to use something else.

Can I make these dairy-free?

You can easily swap out the butter with coconut oil, or even try butter-flavored coconut oil. I haven’t tested the recipe with it, but it lends butter flavor to recipes without dairy.

What kind of chocolate chips should I use?

This recipe is written using ChocZero Dark Chocolate Chips, but you can also use their white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips if you prefer.

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins Storage Instructions

Can you make them ahead?

Yes! These keto chocolate chip muffins with almond flour are a great make-ahead breakfast, snack, or treat to take on-the-go.

How to store chocolate chip keto muffins:

Store these muffins in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or in the fride for up to a week.

Can you freeze low carb chocolate chip muffins?

Yes, you can freeze these muffins in a freezer bag for 3-6 months. Take them out to thaw for a few hours before eating, or reheat in the microwave.

Another delicious recipe! Made mine with heavy cream (watered down a little, but still 1/3 cup liquid total). This will definitely go into my regular rotation, as all of Maya’s recipes do! 👩🏻‍🍳 I love that my husband enjoys Maya’s recipes even though he’s not gluten free or low carb by necessity like I am!

  Hi June, Esta receta funcionaría como un pastel. El horno estaría a la misma temperatura pero tendrás que hornear por más tiempo.

What else could you use in place of the sweetener or replace, I’m diabetic.

    Hey Maya is it a half cup or 1 cup sweetener… the recipe says half cup but you comment 1 cup above. Thanks!

      Hi Linda, I recommend following the recipe as written because I sometimes update recipes, and the comments don’t reflect those changes.

Just took them out of the oven. My house smells so good. Planning on having them for breakfasts, but not sure I can wait.

  I waited somehow. They’re even better than I thought. Really satisfies that urge for a treat

Can I use heavy whipping cream instead of almond milk? Thank you

  Hi Brenda, Yes. It will change the macros, but the recipe will work with whipping cream.

Perfection!! My husband ate two and he usually dislikes regular muffins. They’re super moist, perfectly sweet and just delicious.

Hi there, I’ve made many of your recipes and I sure am enjoying them. I’m going to make this recipe today. Now I have a question for you sort of unrelated to the recipe. How do you store your Almond flour? Before I open the bags I keep it in the cupboard. Once you’re opened I read to keep it in the freezer but it comes out so clumpy

  Hi Karen, Check the bag of flour for specific storage instructions, as different brands may vary. If you are using Wholesome Yum Almond Flour you have a couple of options for storage. If you have a cool, dry pantry you can store your flours there. Otherwise, it is best to store your flours in the fridge. The freezer will keep your flours fresh, but yes, you may get issues with clumping. I hope this helps!

These are just awesome. Just enough sweet and chocolate. I had been making the blueberry muffins and they are also delicious. I decided to try the chocolate chip and they’re just awesome. I’ll definitely be making these again.

Quick and easy muffins. Just enough sweet to hit the spot. I used reconstituted coconut milk and it was good. My boyfriend, a chocoholic, liked them too.

Maya, these are excellent!!! Very moist. My chocoholic Hubby said he liked the combination of flavors, too.

I like that they were moist and no erythitol aftertaste. I have them in the freezer, so I can pull them for breakfast.
