    Does anyone else think that muffins are just a sneaky way to eat dessert for breakfast? 

    No matter what time of day, these bite-sized keto chocolate chip muffins are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth! They’re great for breakfast, a tasty snack, or a satisfying dessert.

    The texture reminds me of a soft-baked chocolate chip cookie. They taste so indulgent, but are actually low in calories and carbs. And the mini size makes portion control easy.

    Plus, they’re so simple to make! Just combine the dry ingredients, then the wet ingredients, mix it all together, and bake.

    When you want a little treat that’s great for any time of day, give these mini muffins a try!

    How to make keto chocolate chip muffins

    This recipe is as easy as mixing together the ingredients and baking! And they only take about 10 minutes to prep and 12 minutes to bake. 

    First, we’ll start with the batter:

    mixing dry and wet ingredients
    1. In a small bowl, combine the peanut flour, baking powder, and salt.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, and sweetener until the mixture is creamy.
    3. Add the egg and low carb milk to the wet ingredient mixture, then beat until smooth.
    4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until well combined. 
    5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    finishing batter

    Now we’re ready to bake the muffins:

    1. Spoon the batter into a mini muffin pan that’s either greased or lined with baking cups. I used a cookie scoop to easily transfer the batter to the muffin tin.
    2. Place the mini muffins in the oven and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
    3. Remove from the oven and set the tray on a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes.
    4. Remove each cupcake and allow to cool completely on the rack.

    That’s it! Your low carb chocolate chip muffins are ready to enjoy.

    Cooking Time

    I recommend keeping a close eye on your muffins to make sure they don’t overcook.

    I actually like mine just slightly under-baked. This makes them very moist and flavorful, and the centers are still a bit gooey. The texture reminds me of a soft-baked chocolate chip cookie!

    I’ve found that 10 minutes is the right amount of time to bake them for me. But feel free to experiment to find your perfect texture!

    If you want to make these into larger muffins, you will need to adjust the baking time. I would recommend adding another 5 minutes or so if you’re using a regular sized muffin tin.

    Cooking with Peanut Flour

    Do you like to bake with low carb peanut flour?

    It’s lower in fat and higher in protein than other nut flours. It also adds a delicious peanut taste to your recipes!

    I love the flavor you get by using peanut flour with peanut butter in these chocolate chip muffins. After all, chocolate and peanut butter are a classic combination.

    However, if you don’t have peanut flour, you could substitute almond flour instead. If you have a peanut allergy or don’t like to use peanut products, you can also use almond butter in place of the peanut butter.

    How many muffins can you have?

    I must warn you that these little muffins can be addictive. They’re just so yummy!

    I try to limit myself to two at a time. A serving of two mini muffins is 130 calories and 4.3 net carbs, which comes from 6.7 grams of total carbs minus 2.4 grams of fiber. And two muffins is the perfect number to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    To keep from eating too many, I suggest storing these delicious bites somewhere out of sight. Otherwise, you may find yourself grabbing another one every time you pass through the kitchen.

    Yes, I speak from experience!

      I came across the recipe for the chocolate chip muffins because I bought peanut flour a few months ago, but forgot why I needed it. These muffins are the bomb. I used my 1/8 cup measure to put the dough in the silicone muffin trays. They are wonderful and a "keeper" recipe for sure.

      These sound amazing. I don’t have peanut flour, can I sub almond or coconut flour for the peanut flour? Thank you for all your great recipes!

        Almond flour should work okay instead or a combination of almond and coconut flour.

      Who is going to waste money on peanut flour when this is the only thing I have ever seen that uses peanut flour. Where would I buy it?

        There are quite a few peanut flour recipes and you can use it as a substitute one-for-one for nut and seed flours.

      Could I make these without the chocolate chips? Maybe use nuts instead? We don’t have access where I live in Canada to sugar free chocolate chips.

        The muffins can be made without chocolate chips and peanuts can be mixed in instead.
