Description

Super simple, moist almond flour muffins sweetened naturally with maple syrup! Studded with melty chocolate and finished with flaky salt, these muffins are a nourishing treat the whole family will be obsessed with. Made in one bowl and done in 25 minutes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips/chunks (reserve 2-3 tbsp for topping)
  • flaky salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place 9 paper liners in a muffin tin and spray liners with cooking spray. Place butter in a small covered microwave-safe bowl, for 20 second increments, until melted. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, flax, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk again until smooth. The batter will be very thick; that's normal!
  4. Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Use 1/4 measuring cup to spoon batter into muffin tin to make 9 muffins, scraping out all the batter with the spatula. No need to press the batter down.
  5. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with flaky salt and cool on a wire rack before devouring! 

Notes

Store at room temp for up to 2 days and then covered in an air-tight container in the fridge.
