Chocolate Chip Muffins

Mixing the batter only until the last streak of flour disappears, not until it's perfectly smooth, is what keeps these muffins tender instead of tough and rubbery.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup allulose
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with liners.

  2. 2

    Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt together.

  3. 3

    Whisk eggs, allulose, almond milk, avocado oil, and vanilla together.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together with a spatula only until the last streak of flour disappears — even in gluten-free batters, overmixing develops excess starch structure that's what makes muffins tough and rubbery instead of tender; a few small lumps left in the batter are completely fine.

  5. 5

    Fold in chocolate chips, divide batter among muffin cups filling each about 2/3 full, and bake 19-21 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
