If you are a dark chocolate lover, these muffins are for you! They remind me of a moist chocolate cake. The mix of oat flour and almond flour creates the perfect texture. The deep chocolate color comes from the cacao powder. Cacao powder is a great source of iron, magnesium and potassium. I recommend using cacao powder over cocoa powder in any baked good recipe.

How do you make chocolate muffins from scratch?

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the muffins until well incorporated.
Line a muffin tin with 10 liners. Check out these silicone liners I adore! Use a ¼ measuring cup and pour the batter into each muffin liner and bake.
Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the liners and enjoying!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What temperature is best to bake muffins?

350 degrees works perfectly for this recipe!

Why are my chocolate muffins dry?

Ensure you do not over bake your muffins by using a toothpick. Place a toothpick in the center of the muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are done baking.

How to store Healthy Chocolate Muffins?

Let the muffins cool completely before placing them into an airtight storage container. I recommend storing the muffins in the fridge for 3-4 days. Place them into the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying. If you would like to freeze the muffins, individually wrap the muffins and put them into the freezer. They will last about 3 months. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat!
