Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt for Paleo or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a muffin tin with muffin liners or cooking spray.
- In a standing mixer or using a hand mixer, combine eggs, oil, yogurt, almond extract, salt, maple syrup and almond milk until eggs are broken down.
- In a separate smaller bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder and baking powder until well dispersed.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated into a sticky, thick batter.
- Then fold in the raspberries, breaking them down so they disperse throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to prepared muffin pan by diving evenly among 12 muffin cavities.
- Bake for 15 minutes until set and a toothpick can be inserted through the center clean.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
- Place 3-4 dark chocolate chips on each muffin top pressing them a bit into the top. As the muffins cool, they will stick to them creating a frosting like top. You can also add the chocolate chips to each muffin prior to baking.
Notes
- I do not like things that are very sweet. Feel free to adjust the maple syrup if you need more sweetness. Test the batter before baking!
