    • Coconut flour: this is an optional ingredient. But i like to add it to my muffin recipes because it makes it a bit fluffy. (See notes)

    • Preheat oven, it helps to start the baking off and maintaining the rise.
    • This recipe can be made without the coconut flour. If you choose to do that, you will need to replace it with more cocoa powder in the same amount, then reduce the eggs to 3

    These keto double chocolate chip muffins can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container.

Whichever method you choose to store these delectable keto muffins, make sure you they cool down completely before storage.

    Notes

    1. It is important to preheat your oven so that the muffins start baking as soon as they hit the oven.
    2. Using a cookie scoop will help distribute the batter evenly
    3. Check for doneness at 30 mins. bake for extra 2- 5 mins if muffins are not ready at 30 mins. Do not bake for more than 35 mins.
    4. This can be made without chocolate chips. If making with chocolate chips, reserve about a tablespoon to add to the top of the muffin batter after scooping into the muffin tin.
