Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins
Easy Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe. The best gluten free muffins with no refined sugar for a quick grab and go breakfast.
Typically, I am a blueberry muffin person. When given the choice, I will choose those big blueberry jumbo muffins from Costco.
But looking in my pantry, I saw that I had some almond flour that needed using. So I made these Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins on a whim.
Even though this is the first time that I made paleo or gluten free chocolate chip muffins, I think this might be one of my new favorite muffins. Next time I am going to have to try making paleo blueberry muffins when blueberries are finally in season. You can expect to see some more paleo recipes on my blog. I had no idea how delicious they could be while still using healthy ingredients.
Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins Ingredients
You just need a couple of simple ingredients to make these paleo chocolate muffins. All you need is:
- almond flour
- baking soda
- whole eggs
- pure maple syrup
- coconut oil
- apple cider vinegar
- vanilla extract
- dairy free dark chocolate chips
Tips
Storage: You can store these paleo muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To make them last longer, store them in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Do not use muffin liners. While muffin liners are appealing because it creates less mess with the muffin tin, the minimal amount of oil in this paleo muffin recipe causes the muffins to stick. This is why you will need to well grease the muffin pans when making these healthy muffins.
Variations
Flour to use in place of almond flour. I know almond flour is pretty pricey, but there are some other options for gluten free flours. If you don't have almond flour on hand, either almond meal, coconut flour or tapioca flour will work in its place.
Make these almond flour muffins vegan. Instead of using eggs. you can make a vegan egg replacer such as flax eggs or chia eggs. All you need to do to replace 1 egg is to mix 1 tablespoon of either chia seeds or flax seeds with 3 tablespoon water. Mix and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes before using.
Add in some fruit. I love adding in some orange juice and orange zest, like in my Orange Chocolate Muffins, or some diced strawberries, like in my Mini Strawberry and Chocolate Chip Muffins. But experiment with what you love or what you have on hand!
