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!
Yay! I recently started eating “Paleo” and was so bummed when I couldn’t use many of your recipes anymore, but this one is perfect! Thank you!
Totally agree with your math today 😀
Katie – Is there an alternative you would recommend to almond meal for a tree-nut allergy girl? 🙂
Definitely would love to know about a peanut/tree nut allergen flour alternative! I have access to oat flour, millet flour and brown rice flour easily on top of regular old flour. Would one of those work?
I am going to try these using ground pumpkin seeds.
I imagine these would work with ground pumpkin seeds, as Carmen suggested. You could probably get good results using a mix of the three flours available to you. Millet flour will be closest in texture to almond meal, but it can be overpowering if used by itself. Maybe try 2/3 cup millet flour and 1/3 cup oat flour (if you’re staying faithful to the amounts in the recipe and not doubling it)?

Ditto
Can I skip flax and water and use egg? Would it be 1 or 2?
Eggs are amazing and you should definitely use them if you’re not vegan! A flax egg is 1 T flax + 3 T water, so I would say use 2 eggs.
Thank you for the paleo -friendly adjustment recommendation 😉
These look like little pockets of chocolatey goodness. Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve never seen apple cider vinegar in muffins! I can’t wait to try them!
These look awesome!! They remind me of your strawberry shortcake muffins — which were totally yummy!! You rock!!
Would Garbonzo bean flour work the same as almond meal?
these are so cute! Although they may be dangerously addictive…and I will probably end up consuming the whole batch…
Another great looking recipe I can’t wait to try. These would be a good take along for a long road trip. For my taste, I would definitely up the chocolate chips considerably as it would seem to me that just a few tablespoons wouldn’t go very far. That’s me though, being a major chocolate lover, I always want an even and generous distribution of chips in my recipes. Thanks for a wonderful looking recipe!
