Introduction

We’ve put a new twist on an old classic with these Yummy Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins! These muffins are moist, chocolatey, and delicious!

Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins

These Keto Chocolate Chip muffins make for the perfect breakfast, dessert, or snack! These muffins help to fill the breakfast void that exists for those who want something other than bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning. One batch makes twelve, which covers rather more than one morning.

But, once you realize how delicious these muffins are, you are going to want to snack on these all day long! The Nutrition Facts panel with the recipe gives you the per-muffin numbers, so you can see what a second one costs you. Breakfast, snack and dessert, all from one batch of twelve.

If you would rather bake one cake and cut it into squares, our almond flour chocolate chip cake is a separate recipe, made in an 8x8 dish.

Using Keto-Friendly Chocolate Chips

Half a cup of chips goes into a batch of twelve, which is enough to put chocolate in every muffin without the batter turning into a chocolate bar. We use Lily’s dark chocolate chips — sugar-free, and they hold their shape in the oven rather than smearing. Keep a spoonful of them back for the tops.

Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins Sweetened With monk fruit Sweetener

The key to any good sweet is a good sweetener! We use Lakanto’s monk fruit for all of our sweet recipes. It is a blend built to measure 1:1 with sugar, so a regular muffin recipe’s amounts carry straight over, and we don’t get an aftertaste from it. Another granulated 1:1 sweetener will work here — check the conversion chart on the bag first.

About these numbers: We are home cooks, not certified nutritionists. Nutrition is shared as a courtesy. We pick a representative product for each ingredient, and our recipe system works out the totals from the amounts in this recipe, so please treat them as a helpful estimate rather than a guarantee. The brands you buy, any swaps you make, and how generously you portion the recipe will all move these numbers.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.

  2. Start by beating your milk, eggs, and vanilla together.

  3. Add in remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips).

  4. Beat with hand mixer until well blended. Stir in all but a tablespoon of the chocolate chips.

    The reserved spoonful is for the tops. There is no second quantity of chips in this recipe, so it comes out of the half cup.

  5. Place cupcake liners in cupcake pan and fill 3/4 of the way full.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes.

    They are done when the tops have risen and spring back to a light press, and a toothpick pushed into the middle of one comes out clean. Almond flour browns quickly at this temperature, so go by the toothpick rather than the color.

  7. While the muffins are still warm, press the reserved chips onto the tops.

  8. Let cool. Enjoy!

Correction — September 15, 2026: The sweetener section now attributes measuring 1:1 with sugar, and the absence of an aftertaste, to the particular blend rather than to monk fruit. Bare monk fruit extract is far sweeter and does not swap cup for cup.
