Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe – Easy & Healthy Grain Free Chocolate Muffins With Coconut Flour

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins

Despite no longer following a low carb diet, I find myself baking predominantly gluten free sweet treats. The other week I shared gluten free banana bread and today is all about sweet and healthy gluten free chocolate chip muffins. 

These muffins are easy to prepare and the perfect afternoon pick me up that my whole family adores. 

How To Make Gluten Free Muffins With Coconut Flour

If you’ve never baked with coconut flour before, then you’ll quickly discover that it’s an incredibly absorbent ingredient. You only need a half a cup of the nourishing flour to create perfectly light, moist muffins. 

To actually make the muffins, you simply combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Then, melt the butter and mix in the remaining wet ingredients. 

It’s then just a matter of mixing the wet into the dry ingredients and folding through chocolate chips until you have a smooth muffin batter. 

If you’d like to make low carb chocolate chip muffins then simply swap the sugar for stevia, use almond milk or another low carb milk and be sure to use low carb chocolate chips. Or, you could break up a block of dark chocolate into chips to use in the muffins. 

Regarding the chocolate chips, it’s up to you whether you want a light speckling of chocolate, by using half a cup. Or if you want them loaded with chocolate in every corner and go for the full cup. 

Whichever way you choose to go, these muffins are light, moist and the perfect gluten free baked treat.
