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.

I want to make these, but in normal muffin size! Has anyone tried it? I know sometimes mini recipes don’t work well for normal size. Katie, have you tried it?
I made these this morning and I used normal muffin tins. It made six muffins. They didn’t rise in the middle (sunk down a little instead) and I had to cook them a few extra minutes. But they were still delicious! LOVED them.
these baked and tasted great!
Have you tried using any other types of flours? I have oat flour, whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, and rice flour, but no almond meal 🙁
You could probably get similar results using whole wheat flour. You’d just have to be careful of the baking time and the liquids added. Almond meal might not need as much liquid added to the recipe it’s in, since it’s quite moist, so you might need to add more liquid if you’re using whole wheat flour!
I still have yet to bake with almond meal or flour. I have had pretty good luck with some gluten free flours such as rice and tapioca but I would really like to experiment with almond meal and coconut flour still. These look wonderful!
Katie,
I love cute little mini everythings!
But here’s my problem- since they are so bite sized…I sneak them all into my mouth one after the other because I just cant get enough!
I just love chocolate. I don’t know why..So good.
I have cheat days on my diet so i’m allowed to indulge….

I just want you to know that you have inspired me! I have followed your blog for over a year, and about a week ago, I finally worked up the tenacity to start my own food blog!
I am so excited! I am a college student with not a lot of time, but I am making it work! Thank you so much Katie!
I’ve been on a real muffin kick lately, and these little babies looks so adorable, and I’m sure they’re delicious too! I love the short ingredient list!
These look so interesting — almost like little, fluffy rice cakes! I’m definitely bookmarking these to try later. I also wanted to let you know that I featured this recipe on my blog’s Weekend Wrap-Up – feel free to check out the post (linked below). Thanks for another delicious looking recipe, and I hope you have a great weekend!
