I came across this very old recipe recently and thought I’d give it a try. It’s one of my first recipes and I couldn’t remember what it actually tasted like. Boy was I surprised how good these mini sugar free chocolate muffins taste!

They are not overly sweet but perfect for a keto breakfast. If you wanted a more of a low carb dessert you can add the easy cream cheese frosting. I like them also because they are gluten free and use coconut flour. I love almond flour but if I have too much I tend to get a headache so this recipe was perfect for me.

Ingredients I Used For These Gluten Free Chocolate Muffins

The ingredients I used to make these muffins are coconut oil, coconut flour, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, Guittard cocoa powder, ChocZero maple syrup, ChocZero chocolate chips and vanilla stevia.

I just discovered ChocZero products and I love them. They taste good and are very low in carbs. I also specifically like Guittard & Divine cocoa powder because they are lower in carbs than most cocoa powder. If you don’t have these things you can make substitutes. Check out the recipe & tips below.

Let’s Make Some Sugar Free Chocolate Muffins!

To make the batter, mix the dry ingredients (coconut flour, baking soda, salt & cocoa powder) in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut oil and liquid stevia.  You want the coconut oil to be very soft or even liquid so it’s easier to mix.

Mix both bowls and pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix well. 

Now you can mix the chocolate chips into the batter or place some on top when you have spooned the batter into the mini muffin tin. I really like this silicone mini muffin tin because you don’t have to spray it before hand and everything come out of it easier. If using one of these, put it on a baking try so it’s easier to take in and out of the oven.

Bake for 10 – 15 minutes. This will depend on how big or small your muffin tins are. Mine took 11 minutes.  Let them cool completely before taking out of the tin.

 You can see what they look like below when you take a bite. Nice and moist! Note these are not overly sweet so you might want to add more sweetener or make the cream cheese frosting (see photo below).

Recipe Tips & Notes

• These mini muffins are low carb, sugar free, gluten free and nut free.
• I used some specific sweeteners for the recipe because of their taste and minimal number of carbs. The ChocZero maple syrup and ChocZero chocolate chips both have very few carbs. Also the Guittards cocoa powder has less carb than regular so I always use that in my cocoa recipes. 
• You can substitute any sugar free maple syrup you want for the ChocZero. If you use regular maple syrup the carbs will be high. 
• I used a little liquid vanila stevia because these are not overly sweet. You might want to add more if you want them sweeter. 
• In place of the ChocZero chocolate chips you can also use Lily’s chocolate chips or your favorite low carb chocolate bar. 

Well I hope you like these little sugar free chocolate muffins as much as me and my father in law did. He’s diabetic and I make him taste test all my sugar free keto recipes!

Notes

You can make substitutions for the products I used.

For the ChocZero maple syrup you can use any sugar free maple syrup you have.

For the ChocZero chocolate chips you can use Lily's chocolate chips or break up your favorite low carb chocolate and use it.

For the Guittard's cocoa powder you can use Divine brand or any brand. The Guittard and DIvine brands are very tasty and have less carbs than regular cocoa powder.

These muffins are not overly sweet which is why I added the liquid stevia. You might want to add more if you want these to be sweeter.
