Notes

1. Preheating the oven helps the muffins begin to cook immediately and helps with rise.
2. You can use sugar free regular sized chocolate chips or cut up a normal sugar free chocolate bars into chunks.
3. You can substitute almond meal in this recipe but be aware that there would be a difference in texture but still delicious.
4. The nutritional info doesn’t include the chocolate chips because the nutritional calculator I use seems not to have sugar free chocolate chips in it’s data base.
5. I usually exclude sweeteners from the nutritional info as well because I use mostly sugar alcohols which like fiber is subtracted for a net carb count and also because most sugar alcohols (except malitol) don’t impact blood sugar levels in most people.
