Ingredients in Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins
As always, you will find the complete recipe and instructions below, just keep scrolling. These low-carb muffins come together with minimal ingredients:
- Butter
- Peanut butter
- Keto friendly sweetener such as Golden Monkfruit or Brown Sugar Swerve
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Almond flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Sugar-free chocolate chips
How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins
First, whip together the butter, peanut butter, and keto friendly sweetener.
After whipping the butter, sugar and peanut butter together you add in eggs, almond milk, vanilla, almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and mix just until everything looks well incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Be sure not to over mix so your muffins come out nice and light.
The final step is to stir in the keto-friendly dark chocolate chips. I like to mix in most of them but set a few aside to press into the top of the muffins once they have been spooned into the muffin tin.
Can I Use a Different Flour?
No, I’ve found that almond flour works best for these double chocolate chip muffins. Using another grain-free flour won’t yield the same results.
Can I Use a Different Nut Butter?
Yes! Almond butter will also work in this recipe.
Tips for the BEST Keto Muffins
The key to this particular healthy chocolate chip muffins recipe is that the butter, keto sweetener and peanut butter (or almond butter) are whipped together to add air into the batter. This is what keeps them nice and light and this is how the recipe can yield so many. This is a step you cannot skip! If you are looking for a one bowl, no mixer keto muffin recipe try these Pumpkin Spice Muffins.
This recipe makes 18 muffins for me. The batter increases in volume because the butter, sugar and peanut butter are whipped. If you skip this step, your batter will be dense and will not yeild as many muffins.
You can store the almond flour chocolate chip muffins at room temperature for up to 1 week, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

Hi, love your site and these muffins!! (Have made them once already and making again now as I speak.). Anyways, my question: you list 1 cup almond milk in the ingredients but do not mention it in the instructions. Is there a cup of almond milk or not? Thank you so much!
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for catching that, the almond milk goes in with the eggs and vanilla. I have updated the recipe to be more clear. I hope you enjoy!
Hello, could you tell us the measurements of your muffin tin? 18 are too many for me, I would like to make only six but I want to be sure that I am using the correct amount of ingredients.
Hi Miki, I just used a standard size muffin tin, I hope that helps!
Hi!! I love your recipes. I don’t have Brown sugar swerve. Can I use regular swerve or golden monk fruit? Or will that change the texture/taste?
Hi Jen, you can use either of those options and it will not alter the taste or texture. I hope you enjoy!
Hello, are you using regular peanut butter or natural? Also, I’m assuming you’re using unsweetened cocoa powder? Thanks so much for this recipe!
Hi Robin, I use regular peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder. I hope you enjoy!
