These moist and delicious little snacks will not only satisfy your taste buds but will keep you feeling full thanks to an abundance of healthy fats. Because they are made with low-glycemic sweeteners and a little caffeine (thank you, chocolate), these muffins will recharge your batteries—without the big sugar spike and fall associated with most sweet snacks. Try to set your eggs out ahead of time so they can warm to room temperature. Otherwise, the chill from the eggs will solidify the coconut oil and can make the batter clumpy.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (260 g) almond butter
- 1 cup (112 g) almond flour
- ½ cup (96 g) coconut palm sugar
- 1/3 cup (72 g) coconut oil, melted
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (88 g) dark chocolate chips
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with silicone or paper muffin liners, or grease the cups.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter, almond flour, coconut palm sugar, coconut oil, baking soda, and salt. Add the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups until about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing muffins from pan.
