Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins

Are you looking for a simple, healthy paleo muffin recipe. One that you can whip up in less than five minutes in the morning? I love easy recipes, especially ones that I can throw together in a flash.

With two little ones at home, and us having to get out of the house early each day, I usually bake up a batch of paleo muffins on Sunday night.

Depending on what we did over the weekend, I don’t always get around to making a batch of paleo muffins. That’s when I turn to easy paleo muffin recipes. Almond flour muffin recipes with minimal cleanup, take only a few minutes to throw together, and can be done baking by the time I get out of the shower (I don’t take super long showers).

I’ve been relying on Paleo chocolate chip muffins lately and have been switching them out for regular gluten-free muffins. So far my girls haven’t noticed.

Paleo Muffins

These Paleo Chocolate Chip muffins are a spin of my Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Muffins. While my kids love my Double Chocolate Muffins (who doesn’t love double chocolate?), they’ve been asking for paleo chocolate chip muffins. These are basically almond flour muffins made with real ingredients.

These scrumptious paleo muffins taste like traditional bakery style gluten-free muffins, but without the refined sugar. The Rodelle Vanilla Extract brings all the flavors together and lends a vanilla flavor like no other.

These paleo muffins are not only bursting with Madagascar vanilla, they’re also full of healthy fats and proteins, making them an ideal paleo chocolate chip muffin for those who are looking to enjoy healthy foods.

What can I use instead of Honey in paleo muffins?

You can use maple syrup, agave or a sugar free syrup in this recipe in place of the maple syrup. Just note that the flavor will be different. Maple syrup tends to be mild in flavor while still adding a touch of sweetness.

These are essentially almond flour muffins. One thing to note about using almond flour is that it is NOT a 1-to-1 for gluten-free flour. It has a lot more protien and fat, and less starch, so it reacts differently in recipes.

It’s best stored in the refrigerator or freezer if you’re not going to use it up in a week or two.

Always bring Almond meal or flour to room temperature before baking almond flour muffins with it. If you use it cold, it’ll absorb more of the liquid and your batter will be thicker than it should be.

And remember, because it’s made from almonds, it can go rancid, so keep track of when you opened the bag.

Can I use an egg replacer?

I haven’t tried using an egg replacer in this paleo muffin recipe because of the amount of eggs that it calls for. I have had others comment on similar recipes that chia egg and flax egg worked well, but the almond flour muffins didn’t rise as much.

When I made these Paleo Chocolate Chip Muffins last week (test batch), my girls said they were their new favorite paleo muffin and that they wanted me to make them every week. Although they are tasty, I’m also working on a banana walnut version that I hope to have up in the next couple of weeks.

 

If you enjoy grain-free recipes and paleo muffins you might also like my Grain-Free Banana Everything Bars, or my Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies.

And don’t forget about the Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Muffins I mentioned above, they are a paleo muffin as well. Looking for more breakfast treats that are healthy? Food Fanatic has a scrumptious Paleo Pumpkin Waffle, and Texan Erin has a lovely recipe for Paleo Apple Muffins.

Looking to keep this completely sugar-free? These Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips are simple to make.

  6. Question, almond flour is out for our family, nut allergy, what about oat flour? Do you think it would be more gummy than moist? Anyone have an opinion cause these look yumm-o!?!

  7. These are SO good. I didn’t have any chocolate chips so I used blueberries instead. Next time I am going to try adding cinnamon and chopped apples.

  8. These muffins have become my go to recipe for a quick and easy breakfast for the kids. Thanks so much for sharing!

    • Hi Ashlee,
      I cant give you an accurate count, but you are welcome to plug in the calories for the ingredients you used, and divide by the number of muffins you made.

  10. I was itching for some muffins and decided to make this guilt-free recipe. I made my own almond flour from sunfood raw almonds in my Vitamix blender. Then I followed the recipe exactly. These are absolutely delicious! Love the high protein low sugar .I am definitely putting this in the recipe book! Thank you so much for sharing it.

  11. Cooking time at the top says 10 minutes, but the recipe says 18-20 minutes. I’m guessing the longer time is correct?

  14. My son is a Type 1 Diabetic. I would love to make these for him. Is there nutritional information that is available? I am basically interested in the carb count in one muffin. Thanks.

    Reply

    • I don’t typically provide nutritional info because it’s based off the exact ingredients the baker uses. Here is the count for my ingredients, minus any chocolate. Just add the counts for the chocolate or cocoa nibbs that you use.

      Per muffins (recipe makes 12):
      Calories – 182
      Fat – 15
      Protein – 6
      Carbs – 9

  16. Any chance I can make the batter then bake in the morning if I put it in the fridge? Just wondering if that would mess them up?!

    Reply

    • I honestly haven’t tried it. I would guess the batter would thicken up overnight and the leavening agent would flatten. Sorry I can’t be more help with letting is sit overnight.

  19. These are great muffins. My whole family loves them. This weekend my daughter’s 8 year old friend told me how good they were; and with a gluten free sister, she knows that gluten free baked goods can often have a funny texture. I make these all the time, and often add a tablespoon or two of collagen, otherwise I make them exactly as is. Thank you!

    • Thank you so much for stopping back by and letting me know 🙂 So glad your family loves these muffins.

  21. Is there a good substitute for the coconut oil? Could I use organic canola oil… Or butter? Excited to try it!

    Reply

    • Hi Alicia,
      You can use your oil of choice. Canola oil will work 🙂 I am not sure about butter.

  22. OMG SO good, I am on keto diet so adjusted for that with lilies sugar free chips and sugar free maple syrup for sweetener. Had to share with hubby, NOT on keto. He loved them!
    Next time will increase protein and fiber with chia seeds and protein powder, maybe some ground flax.
    These are so good. Could be dessert!

    • Hi Sherry,
      So glad you like them! I have other variations of that recipe as well. Just search for Paleo, Grain-Free, or Paleo Muffins 🙂

    • Hi Joan,
      It’s more expensive than regular gluten-free flour blend but there are some places that sell it for less. We typically buy ours at Costco or Trader Joe’s as we can get it closer to five dollars a pound. I hope that helps.

  27. Hello! I am wondering if you can use coconut flour instead of the almond flour. I can only send nut free to school for snacks so I don’t want to use almond flour.

    Thank you

  29. These are fantastic! Our family is paleo but my husband and kiddo have the biggest sweet tooth! Both ate two of these muffins back to back and asked for another! Thank you for such a wonderful recipe 🙂

  30. I just made these muffins and am very impressed. Great recipe! I only had two eggs, so substituted 1/4 cup of apple sauce for the third. Turned out excellent! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
