- 2 cups almond flour
- ⅔ cups monk fruit granular
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup coconut oil measured solid then melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips plus more for topping
Preheat the oven to 350F, and line a muffin tray with 8 muffin wrappers or grease with coconut oil. Set aside.
Divide eggs from yolks. Take a medium-size bowl and mix the egg yolks with oil, granulated sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. The mixture will be crumbly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form a meringue. To know if the meringue is ready, turn the bowl upside down; it should fall or move at all.
Transfer ½ of the meringue into the crumbly mixture and gently mix. Then, fold in the rest until well combined.
Next, fold in the chocolate chips and stir to combine. Then, divide the batter into eight muffin tins.
Finally, bake the muffins for 25 to 27 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and the top is nicely brownish.
Allow to cool in the muffin tray before serving.
