Fluffy Chocolate Chip Keto Muffins

Jump to recipe

Although many people on a ketogenic diet naturally begin to practice intermittent fasting (IF), every now and then the morning calls for a nice big cup of fat coffee and (keto) muffins.

This first meal of the day is even more special when chocolate is involved.  These chocolate chips muffins are moist, fluffy, easy to prepare, and can even be baked ahead of time for meal prep so you can enjoy them any day of the week.

The main ingredients in these muffins include:

• Coconut flour
• Butter
• Cream cheese

One of the best options for keto baking is coconut flour because it adds a lot of volume to recipes, it’s low in carbs, and packed with vitamins and minerals.

3 Health Benefits of Coconut Flour

#1: Improves Digestive Health

The fiber from coconut flour can improve your digestion and keep you regular. Coconut flour contains 5 times more fiber than regular wheat flour.

#2: Keeps Your Blood Sugar Stable

Coconut flour can support healthy blood sugar levels. Due to its high nutrient density and fiber content, it also helps to increase satiety and reduce hunger.

#3: Aids in Metabolism

One of the many health benefits of coconut flour is how rich it is in healthy fats.  It contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs), which  provide quick energy and support a healthy metabolism.  They also have strong antibacterial and antiviral properties which aid in protecting your body against bacteria and viruses.

Using coconut flour is also a great keto baking option for those with nut allergies.  It’s richer in fiber, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and lower in omega 6 fatty acids compared other nut flours. Baked goods are typically more dense and moist when coconut flour is involved.

When hunger strikes in the morning, these fluffy chocolate chip muffins taste just like real deal but won’t kick you out of ketosis.
