How to make Chocolate Chip Muffins Healthy
Buying and using Organic ingredients whenever possible is a good way to start.
Lower the amount of sugar in your muffins and try to stick with unrefined sugars.
These are just two easy tips that you could actually apply to lots of recipes.
Can I freeze these Chocolate Chip Muffins
Yes.. they can easily be kept longer by freezing them. Just make sure to put them in a freezer safe bag and they should keep for several months.
So doubling the batch and freezing some for later can be a great idea for meal prep.
Substitutions or other Add-ins for Chocolate Chip Muffins
If you don’t need this to be dairy free you can easily swap butter for the coconut oil or dairy milk for the coconut milk.
Can use another nut butter in place of almond…. such as cashew, peanut butter, or sunflower butter.
Some add-ins: nuts… walnuts, pecans or almonds
Or even EXTRA chocolate chips if you want more chocolatey flavor.
Recipe tips and baking with Coconut Flour
Use room temperature eggs- if you forgot to take them out of the fridge you can always set them in a bowl of warm water to take the chill off.
If using coconut milk and it clumps together…. pour it through a mess strainer to remove clumps.
Melt the coconut oil first so it has time to cool slightly before adding to the batter.
Let the batter sit for a minute after stirring since coconut flour tends to absorb lots of liquid…
You can always add a little more milk if necessary.

These are so amazing! I changed the almond butter to just plain butter. Sooo good! Thanks for the recipe
Thanks Jenn and glad to hear you’re loving em! 😘
Good Morning ! So something strange happened with my muffins ! I used sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter and egg whites instead of whole eggs … made them last night – left them on the counter in a container with a lid – not sealed just layer on top —- they turned GREEN !!! I have know idea why ! After I debated whether they would kill me or not – I still tried a piece – they still taste great ! Weird! I would send a picture but don’t know how 😊
Hi Debbie, I don’t normally cook with sunflower seed butter, so I personally haven’t experienced this. I have read though that cooking with sunflower seed butter can cause baked goods to turn green in color when cooled. So apparently this is normal! Hope you’re still enjoying the Muffins! ❤️
I keep meaning to bake with coconut flour more, it can have a nice flavor and is obviously good if you are looking to be GF, but can be a little fiddly to use since it needs more liquid to balance it out. These look good!
These would be great to make a huge batch and freeze some for later!
a muffin can be a nice treat mid morning with an extra cup of coffee! these muffins would fit the bill nicely.
I love muffins! These flavors sound lovely!
Thank you for this recipe. The amount of coconut oil & almond butter seems to be missing, could you tell me the amounts or am I just missing them!!😊 Thanks
You’re welcome Debbie and oops.. 😏 Posted has been updated. Thanks for letting me know 😉
Fabulous looking muffins! I’d go with the 9 bigger ones and freeze them so I can take them out as I want to eat them.
