These chocolate chip mini muffins are so soft and chewy it’s almost like eating chocolate chip cookies in the form of a muffin.
 
Chocolate chip cookies > muffins.
Actually if we’re being honest, chocolate chip cookies > pretty much everything else.
Hope you enjoyed your math lesson for the day.
Flourless Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
- 1 cup almond meal (100g)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxmeal
- scant 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2-3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins: Preheat oven to 280F and grease a mini muffin tin, then set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients. Pour wet into dry and stir to form a dough, then scoop into 8 or 9 mini muffin cups. Place in the oven and immediately increase temperature to 325F. Bake 22 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool at least 15 minutes before removing from the muffin cups.

Happy National Peanut Butter Month!
I have almond meal! Wooohooooo!
Oooh! Love the grain-free recipe 🙂 Can you tell us how to adjust it to do a whole pan of muffins?
For one muffin pan (normal sized muffins, or 24 mini muffins), try:
2 + 2/3 cups almond meal
5 Tbsp + 1 tsp (roughly equivalent to 1/3 cup) ground flax
2/3 tsp salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup water
5 Tbsp + 1 tsp maple syrup
5 Tbsp + 1 tsp coconut oil
2 Tbsp vinegar
I made them with almond pulp (leftover from making almond milk) and used the above amounts (2 2/3 cup of almond pulp instead of almond meal, butter instead of coconut oil, and decreased the water to 1/3 cup (used almond milk instead!)) and I had great results. 🙂 Depending on the salt you use, you may want to use 1/2 tsp in the altered version (above) rather than 2/3 tsp! (I used 2/3 tsp but kosher salt is a bit fluffier so it was probably more like 1/4 tsp of regular iodized salt.)
Great recipe, Katie. Great way to use up leftover almond pulp.
Yum, I’ve always loved mini chocolate chip muffins! When I was younger, I used to eat the small ones by Hostess (I think that was the brand) and looked forward to it, as an after-school snack!
These look great and I have all the ingredients!
Are the nutrition facts per mini muffin?
It’s National Peanut Butter month? That is something I can celebrate!
Love that these are paleo!
My thoughts exactly! Katie, you should have a paleo category.
You did it again Katie!! These look fantastic!!! I can’t wait to whip them up! It just soo happens I have some ground almonds in my cupboard! 😉
Katie you have done it again! These looks amazing and perfect. I don’t know how you keep coming up with these awesome healthified recipes!
These looks awesome! And easy to make vegan with the chocolate chips 🙂
I love your recipes!
Hey Katie, do you think these would taste good as jumbo muffins?
Sometimes when one makes something jumbo it looses not only it’s cuteness but also the texture and flavor. so I just wondered what you thought about these. Thank you!
love!
