Total Time 35 minutes
Choose Serving Size 12 muffins

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned, full-fat
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour mix like Schar Mix C
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper cases and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the flours, coconut flakes, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips. With a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients, along with the melted coconut oil, into the dry ingredients and stir only until combined. Do not over-mix the batter -- a few lumps are ok.
  • Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter, using two spoons per muffin. Place in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick; when they're ready, the toothpick will come out dry.
  • Let the muffins sit in the tin for 1-2 minutes after taking them out of the oven, then place them on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and serve still warm.

Notes

Do not over-mix the batter -- a few lumps are good and keep the muffins tender. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer. For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour for a GF mix like Schar Mix C.
