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 made these this morning. They didn’t pass the 3 and 5-year old taste test but my 1 year old son liked them. I liked them as well!! I made regular sized muffins and they turned out fine.
I just made these but I used organic soy milk instead of water (I’ve never seen water used as an ingredient in a baking recipe before), and I skipped the vinegar. They turned out fantastic. I’ll double the recipe next time!
Can you tell me what the purpose of the vinegar is? Just curious.
that’s interesting that they still turned out fantastic, because from my past experience and looking at this recipe, it’s likely the vinegar is used to react with the baking soda to make it ‘rise’ (correct me if I’m wrong Katie? :))… 🙂
Tee hee! Top muffin has such a cute little smile–makes this look like a muffin ‘snowman!’
I have made several of your recipes and my BF hasn’t been a fan of anything i’ve made. Of course i’ve loved everything. But this one was a winner! The man who thinks veggies are only are peas and broccoli loves these little bites. I had to actually hide them. 🙂
Loved these so much! Whipped them up twice already as they’re so quick and easy to make. You need to make more recipes like this that a paleo and grain free!
I HAVE TO TRY THESE! I’ve been craving a chocolate chip muffin and these look so simple and delicious!
Anything that has chocolate in it is a sure bet for me, thanks for this “mini” recipe!
Your page makes me want to eat chocolate.. ALL DAY 🙂 🙂 & also makes me feel like its perfectly ok to do so lol! Love it .
need to try these!! am a chocolate chip cookie lover and (not that I’m doubting your ability to create something like this ;)) but it is even possible to capture the elements of a ccc in a muffin?? 🙂 guess I shall find out 😉 they look amazing!!!
Hi Katie! These little muffins look adorable and delicious! I just made almond milk and have the almond meal leftover in the freezer! One question.. If I do not have maple syrup, would agave syrup possibly work as a substitute? Thanks for the recipe as always!
Yes that would be fine.
