Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 3500F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large glass bowl, combine almond butter, applesauce, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, maple syrup, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until just incorporated. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes
- For extra chocolatey goodness, gently fold in an additional 1/4 cup of chocolate chips just before baking.
- If your muffins are browning too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
- Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm gently in the microwave.
- Doneness: A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, without any wet batter. If it's gooey, bake for a few more minutes. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
