These Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins will satisfy your craving for something sweet, keep you in ketosis, and won’t spike your blood sugar!
Over the course of developing recipes for Real Balanced, I have received many requests for nut-free recipes and I have begun to experiment with the challenge!
If you’ve baked low-carb or paleo treats, you know that almond flour is a staple ingredient; however, it is certainly not a requirement when coconut flour is an option, so long as the ratios of other ingredients counter-balance the coconut flour’s ability to soak up liquids.
These muffins are entirely nut-free, so they are a wonderful choice for dessert for those who personally have a nut allergy or cook for someone who does.
Coconut Flour-based Chocolate Chip Muffins
These Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delicious keto and low-carb dessert option. Not to mention, these particular recipe is nut-free!
I love to develop new dessert recipes that are compliant with a ketogenic diet and these muffins fit the bill perfectly! These taste just like traditional soft muffins, just without any of the inflammatory, high-carb ingredients.
Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener
For this recipe, like a majority of my other dessert recipes, I used Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, a natural, net-carb-free sweetener that looks and tastes just like traditional sugar. If you’ve ever experienced a “weird aftertaste” from other low-carb sweeteners, I highly recommend trying Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!

Chocolate Chips In Muffins
Another ingredient to note in these muffins is the chocolate chips. In this recipe, like in my recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Fat Bomb Bars, I used high-quality chocolate chips that contain only one ingredient: chocolate. Most low-carb chocolate chips contain other ingredients, such as soy, which many try to exclude from their personal diet. Pascha is a great brand that I purchase either at my local co-op grocery store or on Amazon.
