Chocolate Muffins that are fudgy, rich and chocked full of chocolate chips. A decadent breakfast or snack muffin that could also qualify as dessert. Gluten Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free, Easy.
Okay since we're officially in the month of February, then it only seemed appropriate to start it out with a chocolate recipe.
Not that I need a special occasion or anything like Valentine's Day to enjoy chocolate!
And you can always find some kind of chocolatey treat at our house year around....
It doesn't even need to be an occasion of any sort. Namely cause the husband loves it! 😉
And some of our other favorite chocolate treats include these Chocolate Coconut Balls or these Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups.
Either of which would be perfect for the upcoming holiday!
And chocolate muffins are perfect since you guys really love the muffin recipes.
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
(Full Directions in Recipe Card Below)
Start by pre heating the oven and lining the muffin tin with baking cups...
This always makes it easier for removal and less clean-up.
Next you'll want to gather and measure out the ingredients.
INGREDIENTS FOR CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
- Cocoa Powder- unsweetened
- Oat Flour
- Sour Cream
- Coconut Oil
- Eggs
- Maple Syrup
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder, Baking soda, & salt
- Chocolate Chips
Next you'll want to mix all the dry ingredients together in bowl reserving the chocolate chips till last...
And then mix the wet in a small separate bowl and pour in to the dry.
Once they're combined just gently fold in the chocolate chips and spoon equal portions into baking cups.
Then bake in pre heated oven.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND RECIPE NOTES
You can easily substitute plain greek yogurt for the sour cream..
But I'd recommend using the full-fat yogurt or sour cream.
Also butter can be used in place of the coconut oil if preferred..
I used semi-sweet mini chocolate chips in these but you could certainly use your favorite chocolate chips.
This recipe could easily be made Dairy-free by using a dairy-free sour cream or yogurt...
And of course the oil instead of butter or you could use a plant based butter.

I’m just wondering if there is something I can replace the sour cream with? I have one kiddo that cannot eat dairy and the other is celiac. Trying to blend both worlds can be difficult at times. Just wondering if there is something that might work.
Stephanie
I would recommend using a dairy free sour cream as a substitute.
Audrey
Looks good. However I do not have oat flour nor do I think I could tolerate it. Would a basic gluten-free flour blend work instead?
Stephanie
Thanks Audrey! I haven't personally tested the recipe with another flour so I can't say for sure. And I'm not sure that you'd get the same results with another flour. But let me know if you try it and how they turn out.
